Summary
Draco Malfoy has done a lot of wrong in his past. With the gift of hindsight, he's able to see that now. He was a prat, and a git, and every other name you could possibly use. All he needs is a chance to fix things. But after everything that happened in the Second Wizarding War, no one in this world is going to be willing to give him that chance.
Well. Almost no one. He just needs a couple people to hear him out. Maybe, with the right magic, he can go back and make things right. Then maybe he could earn forgiveness in himself.

Summary
In a world where magic is not a source of hope, but of despair, Harry Potter is no hero. Traumatized by years of abuse at the hands of the Dursleys, Harry's existence is defined by neglect, pain, and a profound sense of alienation. As he grows older, his heart becomes hardened, his trust shattered, and his sense of self lost in the shadows of his own mind.
At nearly eleven, Harry’s life takes a cruel turn when he discovers that he’s a wizard—an unasked-for burden that ties him to a world as dark and twisted as his own. The magic that flows within him is no gift, but a curse, one that only serves to further isolate him from the rest of humanity.
Skeptical and cynical, Harry prefers the quiet darkness of his own mind to the hollow promises of those who claim to care. His only friends are the ones who can see past the mask he wears—Luna Lovegood, who shares his disillusionment, and a few others who see the broken boy behind the so-called "Chosen One." But with magic comes power, and with power comes danger. Harry is drawn into a world of dark wizards, betrayal, and moral ambiguity, where even his closest allies may not be what they seem.

Summary
Anger - a powerful tool, if reigned in, can be a strong weapon. The fallen stag always wanted to be left alone, but alas, the fire of fate decided to lick upon its skin and make it lash out against the inferno. From the outside it always looked as if the stag welcomed the inferno but internally, the stag tried to shake off the flames but to no avail. So began a fated sonnet that only sang only of destruction. An elegy that never truly ended.

Summary
Harry sighs, pulling out his wallet. “How much do you want for it?”
Snape’s eyes are bulging. “My clothes are not for sale, Potter. Now hand it over. I won’t ask a second time.”
Harry hunches his shoulders. “But-”
Snape growls, apparently at the end of his patience. His wand jumps into his hand.
Harry is forced to let go of the fabric and the cloak gets yanked off him, flying directly into Snape’s hand.
Harry bites his lips, hard, trying to ignore the aching in his chest. There are words at the tip of his tongue and it takes all of his willpower to keep them from slipping out.
Don’t do this, please. It’s the only thing keeping me sane right now. Please, let me have this. Just this one thing. I won’t ask more of you than that, I promise, please-
***
During his fifth year, Harry disappears from the face of the earth for three days. No one knows what happened to him since he refuses to talk about it - until he does.

Tom can't get his mind off of Harry, can't stop thinking about his particular behaviour and all its connotations.
But things change when Tom realises the truth of Harry's situation; now he has a different opportunity to get what he desires, one that would take far less effort on his part than Tom's original plan of seducing Harry away from his abusive boyfriend.
Tom cannot deny that it's a temptation. At the same time, he knows showing up as Harry's newest ‘client’ won't be conducive to burgeoning Harry's trust—and when it comes to Harry, Tom wants everything.

Summary
Murders, cults, and Ministry corruption oh my!
Bodies were popping up dead all across Great Britain. Nothing connected them, no eyewitnesses, no motive, and not a single suspect in sight. Junior Auror Harry Potter was not given the cases nor asked to help, but that wasn’t going to stop him from getting to the bottom of it. Even if he had to work with the Ministry’s least favourite employee, Draco Malfoy.

Summary
A jaded completely fed-up Harry finds himself fully embracing his death, even if it did come from a place he would never expect; at least before the death of Voldemort he wouldn’t have. However, since Harry had defeated the Dark Lord in question, he found out several facts that left his heart shattered into nothing but dust and ready for the so-called great next adventure Dumbledore had always been about. However, embracing this death didn’t end as he expect as he wasn’t final with those who were his real family, with those who honestly cared about him. Instead, it somehow ends with Harry have what was supposed to be a fresh start in the Pokémon world. But how will the Pokémon deal with a rather World-weary Harry Potter and how will Harry deal with the new world he finds himself in? This is a Harry Potter/ Pokémon crossover.

Summoned To Be A Main Character? No Thanks. by NRMania

Summary
A Jaded Harry Potter, whose 'happy ending' keeps getting ended by a new kidnapping, 'movie plot', 'anime knock-off' or 'filler story', has been summoned to fill in a spot of a generic 'fantasy harem' story... and not as the one who gets the harem, as you might expect (and which has probably happened to this one a couple times)...
No, thanks to the luck of the draw, and a quite simple set of parameters to get them accepted, they have been put in the body of a 'Busty Bunny Witch' and have been put in the path that would get them 'recruited' by the 'Gallant Swordsman Hero'...
Haha, no. Not for them, thanks. They just walked out of that forest clearing that would have swarmed with monsters, ending that path before it could even truly start... and they are ready to beat ass if anyone dare try and put them back on that path again.
So... now that they have thoroughly pulled up the train tracks, sending the rail cars of 'story' everywhere, who knows what will happen?
I don't. Shall we find out together?
