The man who died with a smile on his face woke up as a boy with a rude limerick in his heart!
OR
Fred wakes up at 11, and has all kinds of ideas for how to make things better (and funnier) this time through.
Startlingly, so does Harry...

Whyyy is Harry having to do a refresher on Herbology now that he's an Auror? And what exactly does that have to do with Neville's Murphy Bed?
The non-venomous Tentacular would like to know.

Bookmarker's Notes
Deeply satisfying, long, both funny and grievous story using travels in BOTH space and time via an unusual method.
Neither misogyny nor misandry are present, much to my profound relief. Bigotry abounds, as when does it not, but it is addressed.
No quick fixes for anyone.
Read it, but pace yourself carefully lest you find yourself without sleep for several days.

No one sees you quite as clearly as an adult who must care for you abruptly, with no forewarning.
SINGLE BEST de-aging fic ever in any fandom.
Also: Harry Potter needs a CSI lab for the Aurors, and can't understand why they want there not to be one.

Bookmarker's Notes
In which the swap of the elder near-death Neville and Harry with their nine-year-old counterparts is a thirty-odd year project with hundreds upon hundreds of variables, hidden choices, inexplicable alterations, and deeply unanticipated results.
In which the job of Warding means much more than any Reader ever considered. In which there are much more vast Dangers To The World than Tom Riddle. And in which the Sainted Dead are proven to be far more human than anyone ever said to the boys (all four of them).
And in which South and Central America and the Pacific Islands are far more central to World Wizarding Society than anyone tells the kiddies.
SINGLE BEST Harry Potter multiple-universe fic.
SINGLE BEST old-and-young Harry and Neville fic.
SINGLE BEST international politics of the Wizarding World fic.Do have your tissues handy, and watch out for drink-and-food hazards. This author actually knows how to write gut-wrenchingly hilarious dialogue.

Summary
‘We may have won the battle, but I fear the war with winter is just beginning.’
The aftermath of war is no laughing matter. Those who died must be honoured, those who are wounded must be healed, and those who remain need food and clothing, peace and sanctuary. With Thorin's life hanging in the balance, it is up to Bilbo and the rest of the Company to rule the rag-tag remnants of Erebor in his place.
Then there is the matter of the gold...
Can Bilbo save both king and kingdom, or is Erebor destined to fall deeper into ruin?

Bookmarker's Notes
For once, it is not by his design, or by Fate's design, or even by accident. Dumped precipitously and damagingly from the apocalypse of the decades-long war against Voldemort into the summer of his own 15th year of life, the catastrophically competent Boy Who Lived, renaming himself Blake Slytherin (because why not, after all) decides that, as long as he is there, he might as well rescue his younger self from the horrors of his own timeline.
This is not a happy story, as such, but it is a deeply satisfying one, a nice long one, with no filler, no issues glossed over, no stone left unturned, and no enemies left unaffected.
Go on, read it. You know you want to.

Bookmarker's Notes
You know how some people write that this person or those people are a "force for chaos" and that it is "a surprise Hogwarts is still standing"?
And then leave it at that?
Not this one. In this story we see the chaos and how it impacts people all over the castle.
I am only half-way through it and already know it is going in my Re-reading Comfort List.
I have already laughed myself to tears multiple times per chapter, and let-me-tell-you, that has not actually been happening these past four years.
Make certain you are not in a public place before reading.
You have been warned.

Excellently written series, in Bujold's own voice and values, considering the effects of abruptly introducing instantaneous communication and unimpaired swift travel throughout the nexus, with impacts as imagined by Lord Auditor Miles Vorkosigan.
Deeply satisfying, even in the later more scholarly segments.

Excellent Back To The Past story. All is repaired as should be; the delight is in the telling of it, spare and crisp and completely from outside Harry's POV.
A definite Chinese watercolor of a story.

Bucky Barnes is a guy who knows how to take a licking and keep on ticking. And it's a good thing, too, because the world has thrown some pretty weird things his way, including Nazis, dinosaurs, demons, robots, and *shudder* having a teddy bear named after him.

Summary
While the US government hunts for Hydra in their ranks, all SGC operations are stalled. But the Ori's armies are still coming and Earth isn't any closer to coming up with anything that can stop them. Frustrated, Daniel takes a vacation, makes a few friends and accidentally uncovers a clue to what could be an Ancient weapon. Against protocol, against orders, he and his gathered knights errant (because they refuse to let him go on his own) set out on a desperate quest.
But unlike medieval stories, their goal is neither fame, fortune, nor a beautiful princess. Instead, their quest is a race against time to find a way to save Earth.
