    Summary

    After a mysterious accident during detention, Harry Potter awakens in a Hogwarts that feels both familiar and completely wrong

    The castle is the same… but the faces are not.

    Students who should be long dead walk the halls again, including his own parents, James Potter and Lily Evans.

    Before he can even understand what has happened, Harry is taken in by James’s parents. Surrounded by people who have not yet lived through the war that shaped him, Harry finds himself facing a painful truth: this world is brighter, kinder and far more innocent than the one he remembers.

    But Harry is no longer the boy who first arrived at Hogwarts. He carries the memories of battles fought, friends lost, and a future no one else can see

    A darker, more emotional take on time travel

    This story explores themes of grief, trauma, depression, and recovery, including references to self-harm and suicidal thoughts

    Summary

    Harry still isn't sure if this reincarnating thing is the gift that Death had said it would be. Waking up in a world filled with Kings and Queens, High Lords and no High Ladies, High Fae and monsters that he had only seen in his nightmares, Harry really feels like Death had undersold the adventure part of all of this. Now he has a King to take revenge on, a broken kingdom to fix, a father to find and a mother to feel confused about. Oh, and his soulmate is around somewhere, surely?

    Summary

    David Hull was lucky enough to be reborn in the Wizarding World, and he has no desire to waste his good fortune by getting involved in anything so useless as politics or the Plot. Instead he plans on living out the second Blood War behind the safety of his wards, researching what catches his fancy and abusing his knowledge of the future and his magical prowess for every Pound it's worth. Unfortunately for David, fate rarely cares for the whims of mortals and if he wants to keep his comfortable sea-side town safe from the coming storm he just might have to fight for it.

    Summary

    In another universe, the Daily Prophet’s slander might’ve gone unnoticed and used only as lining for an owl cage but in this one, Harry Potter reacts differently to the realisation that he’s once again isolated, neglected, and left to fend for himself. The summer after 4th year, as he’s plagued by nightmares, reality, and everything in between, Harry makes a decision—things will be different. He’ll make it so.

    x

    A story about growing up, realising & utilising one’s power, and loads of godson-godfather bonding. Harry finds out he can do a lot more than he’s been allowed to so far, and takes complete advantage of it.

    Summary

    “It— is you. I— thought I was dreaming.” His cheek lifted and he was out of it, possibly the effects of Dark Magic. “You—” and he seemed to struggle. His breath came in gasps. “I thought you were an angel.”

    The year is 1978 and Lily Evans is rescued by the Order of the Phoenix after her discovery as a hostage to the Dark Lord's Master of Secrets, Regulus Black. Now enlisted by the Resistance, she is offered the position of Potion Master. Yet, there's one problem. James Potter is second to the General and determined to be a part of Lily's life, intent on protecting her at all costs. Meanwhile, as the war rages and dark forces conspire, secrets kept will bring an additional enemy to the fore—Lily's best friend, Severus Snape.

    Or: a canon-divergent, dark fantasy long fic with angst, smut, and romance.
