Summary
Harry Potter has already lost the war once.
When he wakes at fifteen with the memories of a dead world still burned into his bones, he does not intend to lose it again.
Under the name Gold, he returns to Hogwarts as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor—teaching students how to survive magic that takes payment in blood, memory, and restraint.Severus Snape sees the discipline. The damage. The unmistakable signs of someone who has already been broken by war.
And he knows Gold is lying.
A slow-burn Snarry fix-it about cost, survival, and what it means to save people without losing yourself. -

Summary
This was a bad dream.
It had to be. It must be a nightmare, purgatory, something. Anything, anything at all except for what his sneaking suspicions were saying.
There was no way – there was no way – Harry James Potter had been hit by the Killing Curse and promptly been transported back in time.
And yet.
(Yet another time travel fix-it fic - except it isn't a power fantasy.) (though those are good, too)

Summary
The Boy Who Lived was a masterpiece of manipulation. Harrison Potter is a masterpiece of his own making. After five years of playing the "Savior," the weight of the wizarding world finally crushed Harry Potter. Abandoned to the cruelty of Private Drive and the crushing silence of his supposed allies, Harry died in the darkness of his cupboard.
But did he really?
Returning to Hogwarts as both a Student of Death and Master of, Harrison is no longer the pawn Dumbledore needs, or the sacrifice Voldemort expects. The savior has stopped playing along. The puppet has cut his strings. And the world is about to find out that Death doesn't just take—it settles every debt.
"They gave him a war and called it destiny. He’s giving them an end and calling it justice."
OR-
Death is the parental figure in Harry's life; things get interesting after that.

Summary
A War Survived. A Life Spent. A Second Beginning.
At one hundred and forty years old, Harry Potter dies quietly, the world long at peace, his name carved into the bones of history. But death is not the end.
He wakes as a boy again—eleven years old, scar fresh, heart aged, and a century of battle-forged memory coiled inside him like a sleeping dragon. He has known love and grief, war and peace, triumph and the unbearable quiet that follows. He has lost everyone. And now, he is forced to begin again.
But Harry is not the child he once was.
Behind his too-old eyes lies the full weight of a life already lived. This time, he is not waiting for fate. This time, he has plans. Horcruxes to hunt. A godfather to save. A war to prevent before it begins. He has allies to gather, secrets to unearth, and a future to rewrite with blood, wit, and quiet fury.
Yet the past does not forget easily. And the more Harry changes the world, the more it changes him.
In shadows, whispers stir—of a boy too clever, too calm, too dangerous.
Of a second life unraveling.
Some lives end.
Others echo.
But the greatest stories begin again.Series

Summary
When Harry willingly sacrificed himself for the sake of the Wizarding World as was expected of him, he never imagined for a second he'd wake up in a strange chamber surrounded by people both dead and alive.
He certainly never expected Mother Magic herself to show up. Or that she'd be disappointed with his sacrifice.
He also didn't expect her to decide that almost his entire life needed to be redone... And the way she described that like it was a reasonable suggestion was unnerving at best. Terrifying at worst.
Harry had thought he'd finally fulfilled his destiny, only to learn that he was destined to so much more than death at the hands of a dark lord.
Armed with seven books, each filled with details of Harry's life he'd rather keep private, Harry and the others settle in for a lesson from Mother Magic on where they all went so horribly wrong.
Harry and co have received the second book detailing his life at Hogwarts and so the story continues.Series

Summary
When Severus had arranged to marry an Auror, he’d known it would bring trouble. It had seemed simple enough; a few years of marriage while the Shacklebolts paid for his mother to live apart from his abusive father, and then he’d move on with his life, earning the Dark Lord’s favour by passing him information on the Aurors and the Ministry. But, for all he’d planned, he’d forgotten to account for one crucial possibility:
That he would fall in love.
In a dark and cruel world, Kingsley soon becomes one of the few lights Severus has left. And, together, they make a vow far truer than those at their wedding.
They’re going to survive the war, or they’re going to bring You-Know-Who down with them.
A/N: Graphic Violence tag only for brief description of an injury, but if you read the books you'll be fine. Nothing crazy dark, and every major character gets a happy ending, but all is fair in love and war!

Summary
After ten years of misery with the Dursleys, Harry Potter learns that he has magic. Except, in this story, it's not a surprise-the only surprise is that there are others like him. Including his twin brother, Julian Potter, the savior of the Wizarding world.
This isn't the Harry you think you know.

Summary
‘“You can’t go alone Harry,” Hermione said, trying to lift herself to her feet but giving up with a squeak, “You need help!”
“No,” Harry said firmly, “This is my decision to run off to try and save Sirius, no one else’s - and you need help Hermione! Look at your ankle!”
“How are you even getting there?” Ron demanded, “'Cause if you want to floo, it looks like we both need to go back up to the castle,” he cried triumphantly.
The answer to his question came in the form of a sudden insistent tugging at the sleeve of Harry’s robe. He flinched back, and looked down to find the skeletal head of doe-eyed Thestral following the path of his hand in an attempt to lick off the blood that coated his arm. Harry froze for a minute, then grinned. He knew exactly how he was getting to London.’—
When Harry made the choice to leave his friends behind, and rescue Sirius from the Department of Mysteries on his own, he had never imagined what the consequences might be.

This time, he has been born to a naive young couple with high ideals and little understanding but an enormous well of love for their son that he cannot fault. This time, he is called Harry Potter.

Have you been missing a time travel Tomarry where Harry and Tom are on somewhat equal footing? Where Tom is a plausible budding political leader?

“The war is over and the Wizarding Britain has been slowly rising from the ashes. Harry just wishes none of it ever happened – what will he do when he’s given a chance to change the past? Was Dumbledore right about “the power he knows not” after all?“
