Summary
When Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides he can't be left to his own devices in Diagon Alley for the whole of August and sends him to stay with the only person available - one highly displeased Severus Snape. Harry, for his part, doesn't think this summer could get any worse. After all, what could be more unpleasant than living with Professor Snape?
Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.
None of them know how they'll survive a month in each others' company, but they might just come out the other side with something they all need the most: a family.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
Chief Arnook never assigns Sokka to protect Princess Yue, so he goes to fight the Fire Nation with the other men. When the moon dies and the ocean spirit takes its revenge, Sokka is caught standing on the deck of a Fire Nation ship. Sokka should have drowned… and he would have drowned, if not for a certain Fire Nation raft fleeing the North Pole.
[An enemies-to-lovers season 2 rewrite, where Sokka is separated from the gaang during the Siege of the North, and travels the Earth Kingdom with Zuko instead].

He then finds himself face to face with Zuko's uncle, who is serving tea and claiming that they've changed.

Summary

Summary
-part one can be read alone-
The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.
Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.
Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.
Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.
Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

Summary
[“Uhm, I don’t know who you are,” Zuko grumbles into the phone, effectively cutting probably-drunk-guy off, “but this most definitely isn’t your sister.”
It’s quiet for a few moments and if not for the background noise on the other end of the line, Zuko would assume the stranger had hung up.
“Yeah,” the guy says at last, “you don’t sound like Katara at all.”
“Because I’m not,” Zuko mutters, not all too worried about sounding bitter or rude because it’s the middle of the night and most people would be pretty grumpy at being woken up by some probably drunk stranger.
“So who are you then?” the guy asks.
Zuko blinks a couple of times to himself. “Not your sister?”]
OR
Zuko's early morning starts even earlier when he's rudely woken up by a call from a drunk stranger. Turns out this drunk stranger is kind of endearing though.

Summary
When he arrives at Hogwarts, Harry Potter is not at all the boy everyone wants him to be. Harry does not speak, he does not make eye contact, he does not cast spells, he makes no magic at all. Not until he explodes in a hurricane of Dark magic, nearly leveling the entire Forbidden Forest with his uncontrollable fury.
Dumbledore and the professors of Hogwarts are horrified.
As the parasitic magic continues to consume the shy and skittish Boy Who Lived, it becomes up to his reluctant Head of House, Severus Snape, to determine exactly what’s wrong with the boy he loathes so very much — before it is too late.

Summary
Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to lose his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior. -

Summary
Of all the places he could have walked into--of all the tea shops in Ba Sing Se--(of which there are many)--he had chosen the one that Prince-fucking-Zuko worked at.
Or: Early on during his time in Ba Sing Se, Sokka stops for a cup of tea. This small action changes everything.

“I see.” Zuko closes the scroll. “Is the Water Tribe sending a replacement?”
“Uh yeah,” Sokka gestures to himself dramatically. “You’re looking at him.”

Summary
So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
Harry Potter had many questions. He wondered about everything around him. He was quiet, shy, polite, and thoughtful. If you knew what had happened to him two years before, you would be surprised at how he acted.
Severus Snape has questions. Why was this boy so different from his parents? Why was he always writing in that journal? Why was he living with the Abbotts'? And Why is no one talking about his past? He is going to find the answer to all questions, and find that the past doesn't always define us. That strongest people are sometimes the quietest.
As their worlds intertwine, Severus is determined to figure out what has happened and how. Bringing in an old rival, they had no idea they would uncover a hidden agenda and a more accepting world.
