Summary
A gift is what Death called it, Harry still isn't really sure about that. After reincarnating and living so many lives, it really shouldn't have come as a surprise to find himself in the middle of the war that had started it all.
The most logical thing to do, of course, is to adopt himself.

Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
After death Harry expected peace, not a second childhood.
An incident long before his birth has left Death waiting for a suitable master. The world must be balanced, after all, and Harry, unwilling participant that he is, finds himself standing squarely on the scales.
Unfortunately, Death has a flair for the dramatic and seems to enjoy making Harry’s life harder than it needs to be.
or
A classic time-travel fix-it where old enemies become allies, and a meddling old man has sunk his teeth deeper into the wizarding world than anyone ever realized.

Summary
'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
- Merriam Webster dictionaryFor Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

Summary
November 1st, 1981. All across magical Britain, witches and wizards celebrate the fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort. Muggle news report strange auroras and lights in the sky, ornithologists are invited to panels on the BBC evening news to discuss the strange behavior of the country’s owl population. An elated mood permeates through the wizarding world, but one wizard is not happy. One wizard whose plans have been foiled. He knows Tom will one day rise again, and little Harry Potter will have to vanquish him for good. Years of meticulous planning down the drain just because of one unforeseen little detail. James and Lily Potter were not meant to survive.
ON HIATUS FOR A WHILE, LIFE’S A BITCH RIGHT NOW AND I CAN’T AFFORD TO ESCAPE INTO WRITING ANYMORE FOR A WHILE UNTIL THINGS ARE PROPERLY SORTED OUT. Sorry to everyone but I can’t keep updates consistent at the expense of my wellbeing anymore, at least for a while. Will let you know when I’ll be back consistently and you might get the odd update now and then because self-sabotage is my thing 🥲
