Summary
Days after returning home from the hospital, Peter Parker dreams of Jean Grey. Except the girl smirking at him from inside his own head is no figment of his imagination.
In which Jean Grey decides to become Peter Parker's live-in gremlin, E.V. obviously adores her, and Peter doesn't know what to do about either of those things.

Summary
After getting caught in an exploding time machine (long story) after a road-trip-turned-treasure-hunt across the United States (even longer story), Harry is blasted back to the past. Twenty years and some change, in fact. Landing in the bygone years of the 1970s, Harry gets the chance of lifetime to meet his parents, to talk to and get to know them and understand the people they were.
Or rather, the children they were. He seems to have found himself dropped in on them at the end of their second year at Hogwarts.
Featuring time-travel shenanigans, Harry with an agenda and record levels of Big Brother Energy, and the Marauders (and Lily and co.) as snot-nosed punks that won't stop following Harry around like a bunch of lost ducklings. This isn't a fix-it fic. This is a revolution.

Summary
Hermione Granger is just trying to get through her fifth year with her sanity intact. Of course, with OWLs on the horizon, this was going to be a daunting task already. Throw in an international championship, foreign guests crowding her study environment, and Cho Chang going spare over the cancellation of quidditch and this is shaping up to be a year to remember for all the wrong reasons. And now she has Harry Potter looking to buddy up to her seemingly in an effort to woo Cho away from her increasing infatuation with Cedric Diggory. It's sort of cute... In fact, he's rather very cute.
Oh, bother.
A slice-of-life story in which Hermione finds love against the backdrop of the Triwizard Tournament, Neville is the Boy-Who-Lived, and Harry Potter is Gryffindor's aloof seeker. Probably mostly Hermione's POV, but Harry might be mixed in later on.

Summary
It's a dire time for the wizarding world. Albus Dumbledore has issued a grave warning that Lord Voldemort is attempting to return to power, only to be removed from his position by an increasingly meddling Ministry of Magic, who now seem to be taking greater measures to control Hogwarts. All of this is happening in the midst of the Triwizard Tournament, in which an agent of Voldemort himself has seen fit to attempt to force Harry to participate.
Harry, however, is having absolutely none of this and has instead elected to leave the country.
Under the guise of a study-abroad program at the new and prestigious Lily Academy, Harry and his friends have jetted off to America for a much-needed escape from a bunch of backwards inbreds and their crumbling society. But will the Atlantic Ocean itself be enough to keep their troubles at bay? And what mysteries await them beyond the Proclamation Line of 1763? Harry is about to find out that the New World means new troubles, ones he could never have imagined.
The clock is ticking. But what is it counting down to?

Summary
When a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes 'round the world.
Zinnia Potter just wants to be free, of the Dursleys, of Privet Drive, and especially of these meddlesome magic-folk that won't leave her be. But one's fate has a way of clinging like a black stain, and just when she manages to find happiness, her life as a runaway is brought to a dramatic end.
Ginny Weasley is torn between the simple joy of life at the Burrow and her desire to come into her own as a person, free of her brothers and no longer one in seven. When all she's known has been life as a septuplet, is she ready, able to grow and be the person she's meant to?
Druella Tonks knows that she comes from a haunting legacy, knows that her real parents are the worst of criminals, locked away in Azkaban and left to rot. A rich heiress, the daughter of Death Eaters...a friend of the Girl-Who-Lived? If she can help it, absolutely.
In which Arthur and Molly Weasley didn't have children until 1980, when all seven came at once. In the intervening years, things went very differently...

Summary
When Rita Skeeter's first article drops in Harry's fourth year, the contents are quite a bit more favorable toward Hermione Granger, describing her as Harry's one true best friend, always stalwart and by his side, and constantly sneaking looks. Much to Harry's chagrin, he realizes that she has a bloody point, doesn't she? What's a boy to do when he realizes that his best friend may very well have feelings for him?
No, seriously, Harry has no idea what to do here.
Inspired by a post over at the Harmony subreddit, I just couldn't resist drabbling this one up.

Summary
Harry Potter wasn't the first person entered into the Triwizard Tournament against his will. In fact, it's happened enough that there are rules in place to discourage such a thing. When Harry finds out that the binding magical contract spoken of so severely isn't actually binding him at all, but rather his mysterious cosigner, he decides to forego participation completely. But more than that, the attitudes displayed by his fellow students, the faculty, and even Albus Dumbledore himself leave him wondering if anyone he knows actually has his best interests at heart.
Together with Hermione Granger (with whom he's recently rekindled an estranged friendship) and the tiny aid of an enterprising first-year named Mafalda, Harry's going to do what he does best. Frustrate and enrage a whole lot of people.

Summary
Harry Potter realizes he has feelings for Hermione Granger. Simple enough, right? Something to cope with, but maybe there's a way to make this work? Except Harry didn't arrive at this conclusion until seconds after she's announced her engagement to Ron Weasley. Forced to cope with this revelation at the worst possible time, what's Harry to do?
Started as a rambling comment on reddit, but due to somewhat popular demand, I've decided to flesh it out into a fic. Contains angst, but no bashing. Everyone in the story is a person with feelings, not a caricature.

Summary
"You know, I sometimes think we Sort too soon…"
They looked at us and saw what they wanted to see. A rich boy. An aristocrat. A hanger-on. A boy with a dark secret. And a brain. More than that, we were Gryffindors. And we were Marauders.
In which Severus Snape begs the Sorting Hat to put him in Gryffindor, if only to get closer to Lily Evans. What follows is not at all what anyone expected. In which Severus Snape adapts surprisingly well to life as a Gryffindor, James Potter is able to show off his nobler side without an arch-rival, and a time-travelling whack-job shows up on Halloween out for Severus's blood.
Yes, this one departs drastically not only from canon but from any original concept I had for it. Expect time-travel shenanigans, cryptic visits from the future, and a lot of things getting made up as I go.
But at the end of the day, it's still a Marauders fic, and there are plenty of antics.

Summary
People loved to point out to Mafalda Prewett (often to her face) how very nosy she was, which she always thought a silly thing to express. Her nose was of a perfectly average size for her face, thank you very much. Was she inquisitive? Very much so. Did it get her into no small amount of trouble? Endlessly. Was she planning to stop? Oh, heavens no. Hogwarts awaited, after all.
Molly Weasley has a cousin who's a squib. The dark family secret was thought forgotten until a young Mafalda Prewett received her letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. Now, her life is about to go from that of a perfectly ordinary (albeit woefully misunderstood) girl to that of magic and mayhem. And really, when you're calling the Burrow home, mayhem is the only conceivable result. With her first year of magical education coming on the heels of the Quidditch World Cup and bearing witness to the Triwizard Tournament, things are sure to start off on a wild note. Featuring Weasley family antics, slice-of-life goodness, and Neville Longbottom absolutely fed up with life as the Boy-Who-Lived.
