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.

At 22, five months after the events at Godric’s Hollow, Severus Snape is riddled with grief, twisted by guilt, and driven reckless from loneliness.

There he must face the consequences of his actions and the terrifying realization of what might have been… and something far more dangerous: hope.

Summary
Sometimes all that's needed for enormous differences is a small change, as small as the order of a few sentences in a heated fight. Lily Evans unconsciously makes one such change while arguing with her best friend, and the magnitude of consequences her actions cause hold the potential to reshape not only herself and the people around her, but their world's very future. A What-if AU that explores the questions of how much we know ourselves, how much we're truly influenced by our surroundings and how much we do so in turn, whether unexpected consequences arising from the choices we make are our responsibility, and ultimately, whether truth is truly an objective axiom of existence, or only what we make of it.

Summary
June 1969 was when the word found her - witch - delivered by a strange, disheveled and sharp-elbowed boy called Severus.
In the soot-stained heart of Cokeworth, far from enchanted castles and moving staircases, Lily Evans and Severus Snape stole seven summers from time's stubborn march. Between broken bones and mended grudges, between flowers blooming out of season and roots that refused to take, Lily learns that magic has its limits, but still her hands keep reaching, reaching, reaching.
