Summary
It is the week after Christmas, 1991, but for Harry Potter that is no longer true. Instead, he finds himself stepping off the Hogwarts Express at Kings Cross Station at the beginning of the Christmas hols. His parents greet him with hugs and Harry is drawn into a loving Christmas holiday at Godric's Hollow.
They have been dead for years but now they are alive-- and it's the best thing that has ever happened to Harry.
It is the week after Christmas, 1991, and Harry Potter gazes into the Mirror of Erised, unmoving. He will die, soon enough-- unless something is done-- for the Mirror has him in its power.

Summary
“What was that?!” a student from the back cried. Mystified, the Professor swished his wand and wordlessly unlocked the cupboard. James stood with his wand at the ready, prepared to face his Boggart. Possibilities flashed through his mind.
Swimming in deep water. A swarm of Grindylows. Manticore, Gytrash, Inferi… A boy fell out.A boy that looked exactly like him.

Summary
When Loid adopted Anya and they became the Forgers, he made sure that the families with the surnames Williams, Levski, Klein, and Roche that were most likely to adopt were either no longer in Berlint or at least lived in or worked on the other side of the city. For the ones that were too close for his liking, he made sure to keep Anya away from any neighborhoods or establishments that would increase the chance of a run-in. In a city of almost 1.3 million people, there was a very small chance that the Forgers would run into any of them by happenstance. It was such a small chance that Loid had discounted the possibility after doing the math.
Perhaps that chance hadn’t been small enough.

Summary
“Anya, can you tell me where you’re from?”
“From the orphanage, Papa. But if anyone asks, I’m from West Berlint,” she recited, just like they’d practiced months ago for her admission interview in this very room.
Twilight shook his head. “Not our story we made up. I’m asking for the truth. Where did you live before the orphanage?”

Summary
As far as anyone knows, Anya is an average six-year-old who lives with her Mama and Papa in a nice apartment in West Berlint. She likes anime, coloring, and playing with her dog, and leads a pleasant life of a carefree child. The adults remember a world of gunfire and bombs and boys who died in the mud to fight the petty squabbles of men, but Anya is like the rest of today's youth: bright-eyed and innocent, naïve and oblivious to struggles beyond her math homework.
But Anya knows far more than she lets on, especially to her parents. Anya knows everything.
And it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out, one way or another.

Summary
“Shh, shh, he’s waking up”.
His eyelids fluttered open, blinking a few times as his eyes adjusted to the light. There was this ringing noise in his ears, making everything feel so far away.
“Papa?”
[REDACTED] finds himself with no memory of the past 16 years of his life, with a wife, a kid, and a definitely not legal job. But who did this to him? Who on earth would find a normal soldier so valuable?

Summary
Cedric’s jinx broke the Time-Turner. Leaving Delphini, Albus and Scorpius stranded inside the Triwizard Tournament Maze in 1995.
With no clue what to do, how to get back to their time and a dark witch at large after them, Albus and Scorpius have to rely on Snape and Dumbledore to hide them during Harry’s fifth year.
Hopefully without changing too much of the past and ruining their future. That is, if Delphi doesn’t ruin it first.

Summary
“You said you were changing history by being here and if you and Emmett hadn’t been there that first day we met, I’d have died,” she said. “So. Was I dead?”
Marty wet his lips. He dropped his head. “I, uh,” he said. “I kind of figured the Doc talked to you about this.”
“He did not,” she said.

Summary
After returning to 1986, Doc quickly learns that something is wrong-very wrong. Instead of his Hill Valley from his 1986, something had changed in 1931 leading to this new 1986, one where Hill Valley is a surveillance state. Left with a wrecked Delorean and his Marty McFly seemingly gone, Doc has to navigate this new Hill Valley, put the Delorean back in working order, and fix the past to repair his future.
Kind of a roleswap(?) for the video game. Basically what if, instead of Doc disappearing in episode III, Marty disappears. Major spoilers for the video game, of course!
Also, title is a work in progress. I couldn't think of anything, honestly-Bookmarked by TheRealisticOptimist

Summary
Emmett Brown has learned that he has perfected time travel, and succeeded in creating a time machine. But, for something that should be his greatest invention, he dreads the day where he completes it. He already knows the damage it will cause to future boy Marty McFly, and along with that weight, he also has to ensure he corrects the error he made.
Marty, trapped in 1955, is burdened by the thought that he may never see his home again, one way or another. Either his parents don't fall it love, or Doc's plan doesn't work.
Luckily, they both have a friend to turn to.Based on @odddelorean's Tumblr prompt.

Summary
Emmett is too empirically minded to believe in life after death. But after death there is, at least, remembrance. He can only theorise about what will actually happen in the event they fail – but he doesn’t need to understand temporal physics to make an educated guess. A few last moments of terror in the face of the inevitable, followed by total oblivion.
Doc Brown ruminates on the peculiar situation he's found himself in and grapples with the ethics of time travel. Marty eats a sandwich.
