Summary
Gabrielle Delacour was saved from the Black Lake by none other than Britain's notorious Harry Potter. Rather than put the boy on a pedestal, the precocious French witch becomes his pen pal, his friend, and then more.
The initial idea was to have the least creepy Gabrielle/Harry story I could, without wildly changing ages or anything. I've read a few fun romance stories with the pairing, but often Gabrielle is aged up or veela shenanigans are story elements.
At first I thought I could keep it tight to canon, but the truth is that as soon as Harry starts talking to, and trusting, people outside his friend group and Dumbledore, things deviate. Not to the extent of my other stories though.
All content is letters between Harry and Gabrielle. Communications mentioned but not shown between these two and other characters are left to the reader's imagination. Some letters between the two are skipped as well, usually for narrative purposes.
'Correspondants' is French for Pen Pals (according to the internet).

Summary
A vessel marred in the hand of the potter.
The war had ended, and they had all returned. But not him.
He'd been left behind.
What remained was a piece for which there was no longer a place.
His reforging came not from the hard-won peace. No. Instead, he found his hope in the past.
While excavating an ancient chamber, he became the one unearthed. Cast into the eve of the First Wizarding War, a relic of the future that would never be.

Summary
During the battle at the Department of Mysteries, Harry falls through the Veil and into a mirror world that shouldn't exist, where Neville wears the scar, his parents stand strong and unbroken, and the Malfoys, of all people, sit closest at their table. History runs backward, and Harry's soul is fractured—claimed by something that calls itself a god.

Summary
Canon divergent AU: Harry Potter died, while Neville Longbottom became the Boy Who Lived and little that followed stayed the same.
Pansy thought being sorted into Gryffindor was rock bottom, until a troll incident had her inexplicably befriending Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley of all people. Now she's handling toads, stalking suspicious professors through corridors, and discovering that spite makes for terrible life decisions but surprisingly solid friendships.
