Stories involving themes of revenge or the pursuit of justice (sometimes broadly interpreted). Tone ranges from dark descents from grace, to hilariously petty acts.
[Throwing a lot of borderline stories into this collection until I can reread them.]

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
“I heard some older years talking in the library last year,” Potter said. “And one of them said that — if a student is — having issues, at home or — they can come to you. And you’ll help them. Even if they’re slow or a Hufflepuff or — well — me.”
“And did these frightfully careless students mention any details, or was it merely unsubstantiated rumours?” Snape drawled.
Potter visibly swallowed. “They said that, uh, if a student comes to you and says it’s in the name of asphodel, you will help. You have to help them.”Series

Summary
Losing Damian not only hurt beyond measure but also made Dick the last Bat standing. He had nothing keeping him in a broken world so goes back in time with only one ally (Damian begs to differ) and no plan except to protect everyone he can, at any cost.
Dick starts with making sure Jason never dies at the hands of the Joker and proceeds to track down and love his siblings (while maybe also plotting the destruction of the League of Assassins). He just doesn't realize that a clan of highly trained vigilantes are more than capable of realizing that Dick is not okay, and of returning his devotion with their own.

He was in his home.
Day in, day out.
Eating his food, opening locked doors.
Taunting.
Watching.
Touching.

There was only so much Draco Malfoy could take. He was intelligent, he could see what was happening, what he was fighting for, what he had to pay for a cause he didn't even believe in. He wasn't brave, he didn't rush into situations without thinking first. He wasn't a Gryffindor.
Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin.
And he was about to show the world and a certain green-eyed Saviour, how useful Slytherins could be.-
Make a plan.
Unite the Houses.
And persevere.

Or: the one where the Houses reunite to kick Voldemorts ass while Harry and Draco are boyfriends—

Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.
