Summary
Harry runs away from the Dursleys at six years old and finds himself on a tropical island called Arcadia. After the decades-long Arcadian Revolution, Arcadia won their independence from England in the wake of Voldemort's defeat. (Britain is still sore about this).
Taking the name Benjamin "Benji" Christos, Harry/Benji grows up in Arcadia, home to Florida-Man-esque headlines involving singing bank robberies, the ocean being set on fire (twice), the national Quidditch team setting a world record for the most fouls in a single game, and a nationwide restraining order against Albus Dumbledore. Benji develops a talent for flying, dancing, Magical Construction, and showing the world that he is most definitely NOT Harry Potter.
Meanwhile, Benji and his honorary family must deal with an insidious Blood Ward, placed by a certain interfering Magical Guardian and Headmaster, that threatens his life.
At eleven years old, an international incident involving the relocation- not theft, Benji swears- of the Godric’s Hollow Monument, leads to Benji's true identity being discovered. This leads to a story of chaos, found family, unlikely friendships, and declaring one's independence.

Summary
Harry Potter runs away at the age of five and accidentally Apparates himself to Arcadian Alley, a working class neighborhood near Knockturn Alley. He manages to become an Emancipated Minor and an accomplished broomstick mechanic. Adopted cousin-ships, inter-alley skirmishes with Knockturn Alley, Anti-Dumbledore protests, Cousin Day Parades, conga lines, and Goat-based politics ensue. Started out as a collection of ADHD-fueled summaries of plot bunnies I don't have time to write out. I'm now working on turning it into a haphazard collection of short stories.

Petunia renames him Benjamin and treats him like the son she'll never have, while Vernon resents him for taking Dudley's place. To help control Benjamin's Accidental Magic, Petunia introduces him to the Wizarding World early and allows him to run around the Wizarding World in disguise all morning. Once the Accidental Magic is out of his system, Petunia spends the afternoon and evening homeschooling him.
When Benjamin is seven, Petunia unexpectedly gets pregnant. She dies giving birth to her daughter, Marguerite.

One day, the infant Marguerite does Accidental Magic in front of her father, leading him to attack Benjamin for contaminating his daughter with his freakishness.

Summary
Harry Potter walks off the Dursleys' doorstep and wanders around the dark neighborhood for hours, cold and starving. Wishing to be somewhere warm, he accidentally Apparates to Arcadia, a tropical island located at the intersection of the Equator and the 90th Meridian East (south of Bangladesh and west of Indonesia) and winds up in the ocean a half mile away from the coast. A Muggle slave named Alexander rescues Harry, and Harry is raised in disguise by Alexander's owner, one of the twelve rulers of Arcadia. Harry grows into his role as the son of a powerful Wizard and staunch Arcadian patriot. But, all too soon, the head of a boarding school in the United Kingdom tracks him down, decrying Muggle slavery and claiming to know Harry's real parents.

Summary
During the worst of the Wizarding War, a new recruit manages to take Lord Voldemort's mind off of the everyday banality and responsibility of trying to overthrow a government.
It helps that the young man has a quick mind, a clever mouth and more devotion than ought to be legal. Then again, both of them have always had a taste for the forbidden.

Summary
At the height of his power, Lord Voldemort employed another failsafe next to the horcruxes: his most loyal followers would be able to retrieve them and resurrect him with their help.
As a result, Barty Crouch Jr. breaks his father's mind control early and goes off to seek his master.
While he is unsuccessful in locating him, he manages to find surprising but welcome allies in the Boy-Who-Lived and his godfather.
With the support of the Ancient and Noble House of Black on his side, Barty needs to use all his cunning and guile to navigate the world of politics and Dark Arts.
And so, four years after their first meeting, a different Harry Potter will arrive at Hogwarts: one who wants nothing more than to bring Lord Voldemort back and who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal.

Summary
Lily will not stand for her prodigal son's refusal to fulfill his newfound duties, and demands that action be taken to remedy this. The response she receives instead sends her reeling.
Fair warning: This is Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived!Lily, whose fame has utterly gone to her head. Her personality may be argued to have very little to do with her canon self.
Events of the backstory have also altered Petunia's personality. If you're expecting the harridan from canon, you will be disappointed. Part of the point of this fic is the changes in the personalities of the Evans sisters. Pointing out that they are highly "out-of-character" by canon standards is about as relevant as pointing out that Harry doesn't actually have a twin brother.
