Summary
"Death"
"You are finally ready, I see"
"Ready for what?"
"To live"
"Wasn't I doing just that?"
"Were you?"Harry had no answer.
(Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)
___{Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

Summary
Two, perhaps nearly three, years after the fall of Lord Voldemort, the wizarding world begins to heal. But deep in the shadows, Bellatrix Lestrange still burns with the need to prove her loyalty to her vanished master. When fate places young Harry Potter in her path on a cold, storm-lashed night, she prepares to strike the ultimate blow of revenge.
And yet… she doesn’t.In a single moment of clarity, Bellatrix sees not the Boy Who Lived, not the symbol of her master’s downfall, but a child, bruised and neglected, cast away by the very world that claims to worship him. Driven by a twisted blend of vengeance, obsession, and something achingly close to maternal yearning, she steals him from the Muggles’ grasp, determined to shape him into something greater. Her own dark legacy.
As Harry grows under Bellatrix’s fierce and fractured care, molded by the shadows instead of the light, questions begin to stir within him. Who is he really? Savior or weapon? Pawn or player? As the years pass and Hogwarts looms on the horizon, the world teeters unknowingly on the edge of a future rewritten.
One boy. One woman. One night that changed everything.

Summary
Just like the many amazing Slytherin Harry Potter fics, this is my take on what would happen if Harry Potter was just a little bit smarter, a little bit crueler, and acted a little bit more like the Slytherin we knew he could be.
Takes inspiration from too many stories to count, but includes tropes like Slytherin Harry, awesome goblins, Dumbledore bashing, and Harry destroying any machinations laid out for him simply by existing and giving things a second thought. He refuses to be anybody's puppet.
After Harry was introduced to the wizarding world, some red flags were raised and questions left unanswered, so he decided to ditch his babysitter and return to Diagon Alley unsupervised. Harry returned to the bank and found that Dumbledore had been manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Eager to leave the Dursleys behind, Hadrian - he learned his name was - will do whatever it takes to get out from under Dumbledore's thumb, even if it means walking a darker path than expected of the Wizarding world's Savior.

Summary
This is a story about the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, or at least what is left of it. In 1987, Cassiopeia Black receives a shocking letter about a metamorphic child, who may or may not be a Black. From there, House Black has a choice: come together and overcome their differences or fade into obscurity.
This is a slow-burn fic with a lot of politics and POVs from all Blacks (including the usually forgotten ones). This is the perfect fit for those who love the Blacks, extensive world-building, and captivating mystery.

Summary
Another take on WHAT-IF Harry got rid of Voldemort in fifth year? Oh yeah and WHAT-IF he just so happened to fall in love with certain twins? In disguise. Under a wrong name, that is. Shenanigans ahead.
Also a take on self-discovery and gender fluidity.(Or the one in which Harry gives the headmaster the finger and decides to go exploring the Wizarding World on his own.)
