Summary
Peter never made any plans to run away, until the day he leaves. It isn’t an idea that slowly creeps up on him. He just stands over the sink one day in early spring, watching his father’s bright red ashtray bob up through the soap bubbles, and feels an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of this place.
Two years later. Tony Stark has been keeping his identity as Iron Man a secret, successfully hiding behind his spoiled, rich asshole persona. It’s isolating, but he doesn’t even like people anyway, so it’s fine, he’s fine, he’s great. And then he gets saddled with a new intern, who isn’t just hiding secrets: he’s barely holding it together.- Language:

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
“The Ministry takes a vested interest in ensuring our young witches and wizards are as safe as we can make them and you, dear boy, are very important to Minister Fudge.” Professor Umbridge said, simpering in a self-satisfied way as she said Fudge’s name. “So I must ask you where you’ve been this last August?”
Harry coughed into his tea and nearly spilled it over himself.

Summary
It all felt like a bad joke: Four demigods walk into Camp Jupiter with an outcast wolf-boy and no memories. One of them gets claimed by two gods, one gets claimed by a virgin goddess, and the other two… well. Annabeth couldn't decide if them being claimed was better or worse for them all.
"What does it mean?" someone muttered, and she turned to find everyone staring at Percy with wide eyes. Percy looked equally shocked while staring blankly at the sword in his hand. Jason swallowed, taking a step back as his lips curled in disgust.
"It means he's a god," he said. Percy shook his head. Jason's eyes flicked to where the rest of them were standing. His eyes met Annabeth's, and she felt her stomach twist when his expression hardened. "They all are."
Or
The last thing you want to be is a child of the Big Three. Everyone knows they're cursed and dangerous. There are even rumors that Greeks kill them on the spot. Luckily, the Romans are much more civilized... mostly. After all, the only thing worse than being a child of the Big Three is being mistaken for a fallen god in a Roman camp when Jupiter is missing. You know, as just a completely random example.

Summary
“Need help?” Cedric asked. He asked him.
Harry did not reply, instead swerving around in search of his younger self. He did not spot him anywhere though.
“Harry?”
“Are you talking to me?” Harry asked incredulously.
“Yes?” Cedric asked. He must have seen something in his expression then, because the next thing he said was: “It’s alright, portkeys can be quite disorienting. Take your time.” But that was just it, Cedric shouldn’t have been seeing anything in his face. Not if-
And then Cedric touched him. Just a hand pressed gently against Harry’s shoulder, warm and firm.
Their magic collided, causing a spark. Cedric snatched his hand away. “Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.” But it was too late for that. Harry was already startled. He was way beyond startled now.

Summary
Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.

Summary
Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.

Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.
---------
Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.
Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.
