Summary
A decade on from the Battle of Hogwarts, after ten years of the wizarding world thinking it’s safe, a serial killer emerges, leaving a trail of dead women in his wake.
Each of the bodies bears a gruesome encoded message for the Aurors… A message which - once unscrambled - claims the Dark Lord has risen again.
In the face of the mystery, the Order of the Phoenix is hastily reformed. Ron is stoic. Hermione is scared. Ginny is getting very good at putting on a brave face. Death Eaters who were never caught are getting ready to crawl out of the woodwork. And the Ministry of Magic has plenty of secrets of its own for Kingsley to worry about…
All Harry wants is to distract himself from a marriage falling apart at the seams. All Lord Voldemort wants is to get out of the horrible place between life and death.
So much so that he’s willing to agree to help his old enemy solve the case.
Or so he claims.

Summary
A familiar yet mysterious cat shows up at Privet Drive Number 4 in the summer of 1985. It's different than Harry remembers. Perhaps a bit too different.
Perhaps a touch too dead.Harry does not grow up completely alone, for he has a wonderful companion in Tom, his lovely pet who just so happens to possess a new cat every couple of years. Somehow, not everyone Harry meets finds Tom as lovely as he does.

Summary
Tom Riddle wanted to cheat Death. Unfortunately for him, Death has their own opinions on the matter—and they’re not too happy about Riddle’s disrespect for their favorite animal, either. Time for everyone’s favorite omnipotent deity to teach him a lesson—and maybe gain a new Master, while they’re at it.
Now, the boy who wanted eternal life finds himself with nine of them—plus four paws, one very fluffy tail, zero magic and three Hallows to find if he ever wants to be a handsome human wizard again. And, wait, how is Harry Potter involved in all this?
Meanwhile, Crookshanks…Crookshanks has opposable thumbs, a wand, and the full resources of the Knights of Walpurgis at his disposal.
OR: The Tom and Crookshanks bodyswap crackfic literally no one asked for.

Summary
If blindness wasn’t enough for Ariadne Granger to deal with upon attending Hogwarts, being the transgender Girl Who Lived didn’t help matters.
Blind trans girl Harry Potter fic to spite JK Rowling’s TERF ass. Starts before Ariadne has even figured out she’s a girl and before she is rescued from the Dursleys.
Also, because people sometimes seem to think it is: this is not your tranny-approved ticket for a guilt-free Potter fix, don't get in my ear about how this makes you feel less guilty about engaging with the fandom. It's explicitly meant to critique Potter and its writer, and I am not a Harry Potter fan. It's just in the form of a story because that's what I'm good at. This is not a work of fandom, no highly esteemed story is commemorated here.

There once was a tale of three brothers and the gifts bestowed upon them by Death. Such a tale is one of intrigue, of adventure, of tragedy. Such a tale is a lie.
Or; a story of time travel, genocide, and a boy who just wants to live.

Summary
The Killing Curse struck twice. Green light split the graveyard and The-Boy-Who-Lived fell with the spare. For a second, there was silence. But, something ancient turned its head. Death had not been consulted.
When Cedric Diggory’s body inhaled again, it was not with the soul that had left it. Across the grass, Lord Voldemort smiled because he did not yet understand that he had made a different kind of mistake.

Summary
Draco Malfoy awakens in Gryffindor Tower at the start of his sixth year with no memory of how he arrived.
Can Draco use Harry's lingering impressions of the world to guide him? Can he navigate the politics of being the Boy Who Lived? And how long before he tips off Ron or Hermione?
A bodyswap subversion and bromance, this story features a Ron Weasley convinced they are mates, a Hermione keen on the Dark Arts, a surprisingly friendly Blaise Zabini, and a Luna Lovegood who's just mad enough to find this all perfectly ordinary.

Summary
Just after his eleventh birthday, Sam Winchester received a letter dropped off by an owl of all things. Dean Winchester knew two things: First, their dad would absolutely kill a wizard, even if he was family, and second, this Ilvermorny place was not far enough away from their father by any stretch of the imagination.
Harry Potter chose a very important train compartment on his first ride to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There was a small boy sitting alone in the compartment reading, and this boy had on his person three knives and a bottle of holy water. Harry Potter had found his people.
Severus Snape thought he must be extremely unlucky to be the only faculty member at the school who had a muggle landline phone at his summer residence…unlucky, but also so very thankful. Because after countless shocking, concerning, and frankly bizarre calls from one of his students’ guardians each summer, a Dean Winchester, well, Severus’s life was taking on a completely new and welcome direction.

Summary
What if the protection Lily and James had sacrificed their lives for had unforeseen results? Harry Potter. The Boy-Who-Lived. Blind. But does a wizard need eyes to see?
This Harry Potter can see magic/see with magic and his personality differs from Canon Harry Potter in many ways.
Rated T for now but may change. No Pairings until at least 3rd Year. Slight AU diverging more the older Harry gets.

Summary
Pensieves are dangerous instruments of great power, capable of impossible feats. Mixing blood and memories was a recipe for greatness and disaster.
At the height of the war in Dumbledore's Office, Snape's blood and Harry's blood fall into the basin, entangled with the memories, and it changes the course of the world as those memories come to life. Thrown backwards into 1975, Harry and Snape are forced to adapt to danger and drama from all angles.
Oh, and Harry's eyes absorb that which changed him - one red as blood, the other silver as memories - leaving him completely blind. How will that vulnerability change the way Snape views him?

Summary
Oliver Stone once said: "The first casualty of war is innocence."
Harry Potter was the lone survivor of a plane crash when he was just five years old. Recovered by an unknown militant group, he grows up without innocence as it is the only way to survive. The wizarding world isn't ready for this Savior.
And, once he does return to the wizarding world, it starts to change. The war brought by the Dark Lord escalates and even the Ministry of Magic changes in response. War is encompassing, but where there is darkness there is still hope.
