Quality 'Harry finally grows a pair' story.
Would've preferred the relationships and post-Hogwarts arc to be more fleshed out. -

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.

Loved it.
Very cozy relationships, but sadly lacking on the 'Harry develops godlike powers' front. -

Summary
Harry will find his true powers after the loss of people he cherished. With these powers, he will make sure that all those that hurt him, his family, friends and others are dealt with. What else is someone to do if they Don’t Fear the Reaper…?
WARNING, this is a tragic story with a bit of an uptick at the end. It is darker than my usual writing, a bit gory at times and not for those that like fluff, since there really isn’t any.
Dumbledore bashing ahead, as well as fighting, death and mayhem.

Summary
Harry boards the Hogwarts Express for his first year at Hogwarts, but everything is not what it seems. Harry has come back from the future to defeat Voldemort, but he only has a few hours in which to do it. He needs to find the simplest solution...
A unique and fast-moving Harmony "redo" like nothing you've ever seen before.
The Harmony stuff takes off in part III. That's where the feels begin... :)
Some genuine reader comments about this series:
"In ten years of reading HP fanfics I don't think I've read such an original and moving story."
"This has got to be one of the most beautiful, organic and satisfying Harmony fics on AO3."
"I'm just gonna call this series, 'How [the Harry Potter Books] Should Have Ended'."
"You've turned me into a crying mess! Thank you for such a beautiful story!"
"I've reread this series over ten times but I still can't stop the feels."
"Gave me chills! Even now I still have goosebumps!"
"Heart-wrenchingly beautiful."

Done, read all 5 of 5
Loved them:
8/10 story dev.
10/10 writing skill.Would've loved for Harry to have added Dumbledore, Snape, Skeeter, Fudge and Umbridge to his list, and seen Magical Britain dragged out of the septic tank.
Would've preferred for Harry to have been sneaky with his vigilantism, so he wouldn't be a fugitive and could have had a real life, exploring the world away from the awful Brits.

Harry Potter and the Angry Grim Reaper by TomHRichardson

Summary
My answer to Reptilia28’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” Challenge. Six times has Harry Potter died young instead of fulfilling his destiny of killing Tom Riddle and of marrying his soulmate Hermione. The seventh time that Harry’s soul is sent into his younger body, Harry keeps his older memories and he has a plan. But this time, if he fails, both his body and soul shall die.
This is an H/Hr story that bashes Dumbledore and our most unfavourite Weasleys.

My own response to Reptilia28's challenge. Harry died in the battle with Voldemort. What happens when he meets the Grim Reaper? Especially when the Reaper isn't happy with him. Rating changed to more appropriate one. HHr. Other pairings as they come.

Not my favorite, but definitely high quality.
The focus is more on horcrux hunting and slice of life, than achieving overpowered badassery. -

Summary
Harry is tired of being Fate's and an ungrateful Britain's chew toy. Not to mention manipulative wankers, a Minister trying to find scapegoats to hold onto his job and goblins only looking to make a galleon. After a meeting with the Swiss Ambassador, Harry's life changes while those that made his life miserable find out what it's like to deal with gnomes and upset goblins.
This will be a short six part story. Enjoy.

Summary
Harry Potter had survived war, propaganda, and being turned into a symbol.
He had no interest in repeating those beats.
Los Angeles offered something different; anonymity, mystery, escape.
As his history crops up again, Harry is reminded that walking away doesn’t protect you and it doesn't stop things from happening.
It just changes where you’re standing when they do.

Middle aged PTSD Auror/FBI Potter in Lucifer.

Absolutely hate this broken Harry, but love the story so far.

Summary
AU. In another iteration of the world, Harry is not born as the prophesied hero. Not even as a proper wizard. It's his twin who's born as a genius witch. It's Neville who's the Chosen One. He's just a squib. But it's alright. He's going to learn to punch mountains into rubble. By the time he's done, he'd be above everyone else; he'd not be weak anymore. Eventual Godlike Harry.

Harry Potter and the Rotfang Conspiracy by SmuttyPlotWizard

Summary
In canon, at the end of Book 5 Harry blames Snape and Dumbledore for Sirius' death, but by the start of Book 6 he inexplicably forgets all about that. In this story he doesn't forget, and events take a very different turn. Harry decides that Dumbledore is part of the problem, not part of the solution. He seeks out a new and potentially more useful ally - Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister for Magic. How will that decision change things? And how will a hormonal teenage Harry adjust to sharing a room with Auror Tonks, the extremely hot bodyguard that Scrimgeour assigns to him? Independent!Harry. Proactive!Harry.
An occasionally X-rated (NC17-rated in the US) novel-length Honks re-write of Half-Blood Prince that’s about 80% plot, 10% humour and 10% smut. The smut doesn’t really take off until Chapter 7. Just to be clear, the smut in this story is very smutty. If you don’t like smut this story is not for you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Of the 440,000+ Harry Potter fanfics on AO3 this story is in the top 1000 (by kudos)! Of those that don't involve slash it's in the top 100!
Thank you to everyone who hit the kudos button. You guys rock!

Harry FINALLY grows a fucking spine, and fights back.
Probly the closest depiction of Canon Dumbledore I've come across, so far.
(blinded by his own sense of self-righteousness, consumed by his own overly complicated schemes, and utterly indifferent to the suffering of the innocent.)

Summary
Harry is tired of being the Go-To for the Ministry. They call him for every potential dark lord, creature rampage, or random issue that would be a photo-op.
Harry looks for a Magical Nexus that would work to cover his signature.
Sunnydale, California fit the bill. Maybe he shouldn't use the Black Family library as a resource.

What would happen if the mind of a 28-year-old Harry was accidentally returned to his just recently turned 15-years-old body? Lots of swearing, that's for sure.

Tired of the way he and his godson are treated, Sirius takes a stand and reclaims his house. No longer will he let others rule his life. I wouldn't call it bashing, just my point of view. On hiatus due to illness.
