Summary
The war has ended and Harry is feeling lost and disillusioned. At the encouragement of Hermione he begins to renovate Potter Manor.

Summary
Remus Lupin wakes up at St. Mungo's with no recollection of the last four years. His last memory is from the Shrieking Shack, moments before he tried to kill Wormtail for his traitorous crimes.
To his immense surprise, it's March 1998. A beautiful, pink-haired witch claims to be his wife, and, as if he couldn't be more shocked, she's expecting their first child.
Oh, and there happens to be a significant conflict in the background between Voldemort and the Order.
At least some things haven't exactly changed.

Summary
After a one-night stand with the girl of his dreams, Victoire Weasley, Teddy Lupin thinks his day can't get any worse. But when an accident with a Time-Turner sends him, Victoire, Albus, and Scorpius back in time to 1991, he's sure he's never had a worse moment in his life.
Then Teddy realizes they're stuck in the past for good, and the fears of meeting his not-yet-dead parents, the war with Voldemort, and the hunt for horcruxes become his reality.
Oh, and he's still in love with Victoire, but she's got no idea.

The Path of Least Resistance by Hermione_Grangers_Sidekick
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
It’s been almost six months since the Battle of Hogwarts rocked Wizarding Britain; six months since Harry Potter attempted to sacrifice himself in order to spare the lives of those he loves; six months since the Dark Lord ordered Bellatrix Lestrange, not Narcissa Malfoy, to check that his Killing Curse had been successful in finally overcoming The Boy Who Stood In His Way … but for two children who arrive unexpectedly from a distant, unlikely and devastating future it has been a great deal longer since those events occurred, and they are desperate for their version of history not to repeat itself once again.

Summary
“About last night,” Shacklebolt said. “When we arrived on the scene, we obtained a detailed statement from each of our two witnesses about what had occurred. They both gave a rather interesting description of our trespasser.”
“Oh? Anything useful?” James asked with mild interest.
“Yes, actually. Oddly enough, both our witnesses mistook him for the same person.”
“Who?”
“You.”

Summary
It was like looking in a mirror—if mirrors were designed to show you what you’d look like post-head-splitting execution. And with a poor haircut.
James made a series of aborted sounds before he managed, “Who’d pretend to be me when I’m literally here?”
“A wise question,” said Dumbledore calmly.
Sirius murmured, “Death Eaters are barmy.”
What does one do when being impersonated by a nutjob? What does one do when assumed to be said nutjob? When can Draco go home? All good questions no one has the answers to!

Summary
The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.
He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.
After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.

Summary
Loki and the team found a way to manage the branches successfully that didn't mean Loki had to leave. After, he went to New York in the year 2023 to find Peter parker after Dr. Strange made the multiverse forget about him. His purpose there? To ask him to join the TVA, of course.
---
Mobius held the file in his hand up as a divider, trying to separate himself and Loki from the boy. "What is he doing here?"Loki leaned closer, going along with. "I thought he'd be a good addition to the team," he whispered back.
"What team?" He asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Our team," Loki replied.
Mobius shook his head. "We don't have a team."
"Sure we do," he said. "you, me, B-15, OB, Casey, sometimes Sylvie—depending on if she's in the mood to save the world or burn it down—and now we have Peter. He's reliable, I swear. He's worked with my brother."
"Right, it's nice that you're making friends," Mobius said. "but he knows nothing about time variance."
"Nonsense," Loki insisted. "He's met several of his variants when a spell tore a hole in his universe."
"You do know I'm standing right here, right?" Peter asked. "I can hear everything you're saying."
