A New and Revised History of Magical Great Britain by MantaCat
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
The world building in the canonical Harry Potter series holds a plethora of contradictions, English colonialists paradigms, and a great many gaps in which an enterprising fan might explore or extrapolate.
I’ve seen wonderful AUs to address these issues, but then I thought, what if the problem stems not from JKR's world building, but the in-world flaws of Magical Great Britain and the way winners write history?
This fanfic is a “textbook” written by a self-insert author to explore this idea and act as a reference work for my own potential future stories.

Oak and Holly in Diagon Alley by MantaCat

Summary
A follow up to “A Different Letter” this story is set in Diagon Alley the summer before Harry’s first year. Harry gets ready for school, meets some of his family on the magical side, and has a more pleasant summer than in the books.
You don’t need to have read Oak King Holly King to follow the story, but the characters fit perfectly into the story I wanted to write, so I went for it.

Summary
In a canonical world where wizards lived separately from Muggles long enough before the Statute of Secrecy to have their own folktales, Anglo-Saxon derived Wizen-gamut, and no understanding of trousers which join at the crotch, it is odd how everyone seems to speak, read, and write in modern English.
A brief glimpse into a world where not just the fashion departed from muggle customs in the medieval period, but language as well.

Summary
When Spider-Man was injured during the airport battle, no one expected him to let out a keen; the cry only an unpresented pup in extreme distress could make.
—————
As the name implies, this is a found-family story with the Alpha/Beta/Omega trope.

“Fuck off, Nicky.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Hasn’t anyone ever told you spider-napping is illegal?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You can’t hold me here, I know my spider-rights.”

“God, you guys are so old. What are you? Like 27?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Scale of 1 to 10, how upset would you be if I told you I banged your mom?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Or, I got my grubby little hands on the spider-man time line and fucked around a little bit. Not much (everything) changes.

Summary
Wave changed a lot about Team 7, but not enough to make them entirely functional. Also someone should have really reminded Kakashi to pay attention to that tiny part of his genius brain that recognises random patterns, before he called a rest stop on the way home on top of an old, decayed Uzushio travel seal with an over-chakra-charged Uzumaki.
And he thought the month of the Wave mission was long, now he's stuck with the team, in a place he never expected to have anything to do with, with no way back.
Maybe he should have paid more attention to history, or stayed in the academy long enough to have history classes.Series

Summary
Dying and coming back to life for a second time should have been more surprising. Harry Potter merely sighed in exasperation and moved on.
Death at thirty was not something he was entirely happy with, but he had lived a lot longer than he could have hoped for at fifteen years old. Waking up after was annoying, but in such a chaotic situation he could only roll with it.
Having a wizard with a whisper of Destiny about him wondering about Harry's existence in this wild new world was bad enough, but to these people he was considered a child. Nope, he was not going to be staying with them.
Harry Potter had not been a child in a very long time; he would not start acting like one now.
OR
Harry Potter crashes into the Company of Thorin Oakenshield in Goblin Town, finds out he’s now an elf-child, coming back to life after death is a fact of elf-life, Music equals Magic, and dark lords are a universal constant whenever and wherever magic is involved.
