Summary
Harry Potter is shat on by his friends and Dumbledore, so Death pulls him back in time to screw Dumbledore over and get dicked down by a hot guy. Yep, that's pretty much all there is to it. Over the course of nearly 200 chapters.

Summary
Bella threw her head back and laughed, the sound like little bells. Harry wondered how such a beautiful woman could have a personality like rotten fruit. "Is that a threat, ickle bickle prince Potter?" she cooed.
Harry said nothing, firmly looking away, and she suddenly turned serious.
"Duke Thomas is a powerful man," she hummed in a low tone. "I've been acquainted with him for quite some time, and he's always gotten what he wants."
In a bastardisation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Harry's mother remarries shortly after his father's death to James' half-brother, Thomas, much to Harry's confusion and disgust. First a duke, now a king, it seems that nothing will stand in his uncle's way when it comes to getting what he wants. Not Lily, not propriety, and most certainly not Harry himself.

Summary
When Harry was young, a prophecy foretold he would defeat the darkest Dark Lord of their age. And somehow, he had—without him remembering.
But just before he left for Hogwarts, his parents warned him about the Dark Lord's son, one he had left behind in a Muggle orphanage, never to get close—
Harry didn't care. He befriended the prickly Slytherin, and now, a decade later, they had never been closer.
They were best friends. Best friends who happened to fuck... best friends who knew how each other tasted.
It was perfect—until it wasn't. Things went downhill when Ron and Hermione noticed Tom's gift, and suggested, that it looked like... a proposal.
That wasn't right. Lots of friends sleep together, right? Tell the other how good they felt, how amazingly they sucked...
Oh. Oh, fuck.

Summary
The only way Harry can get free of those who wish to use him is to agree to an already made betrothal contract created by Dorea Black-Potter. Will this simple thing change the course of Harry's predestined - at least by Dumbledore - future? Will he remain neutral or will he turn dark after he learns everything Dumbledore's done? Will there be a wedding in future for Rabastan and Harry? Can they have a chance of happiness or will the two Slytherins by nature at least, only presume to use one another? NO UNDERAGE BETWEEN THE MAIN PAIRING!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary
An intensely canon-compliant humanized Voldemort's POV of his life throughout both wars, with flashbacks to his younger years. Centered around his relationship with Bellatrix, and his journey with love, family, and grief, but very all-encompassing and inclusive of everything and everyone I could think of.
The Voldemort we see in words—from Dumbledore, from Harry—is not the Voldemort we see in actions. How do we bridge the gap between the Voldemort that Dumbledore claims has no idea what friendship is and the Voldemort that calls his Death Eaters his family when they’re not even present? gives Bella a piece of his soul? drags her by hand out of the Ministry? is clearly liked as a person at least somewhat by his followers? has at least one person willing to physically care for him for nearly a year? has multiple people willing to go to Azkaban for life for the chance to have him back?
Voldemort is not the person Dumbledore thinks (or claims to think, so that Harry will kill himself) he is at all, but is a human being with human emotions and human thoughts and human relationships, however unique.
