    Summary

    It starts slowly, the steady disconnect between who he is and who he should be. The man in the mirror becomes a stranger to him; he looks into the glass and wonders how everything became so distorted and backward and...wrong. He notices in bursts: when Teddy grows taller than him, when he’s kissing Ginny on her lips and looking at the subtle smile lines she’s starting to develop around her plush mouth. She’s got the cutest crinkles by her eyes.

    His face is smooth as it was when he was seventeen. Which was 18 years ago. He hasn’t aged a day.
    _________
    Living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be. Harry Potter learns the meaning of immortality when everyone he loves dies again and again after becoming the master of death. After millennia of love lost, Death sends him to "Elsewhere" in order to give his master something new and different.

    Harry emerges from ash in New Asgard. What's a man like Thor to do but offer the traveler a home?

    Summary

    The siege of Barad-dûr has lasted for years, and Gil-galad is tired of war. Every day the same as the other; dark and desperate and despondent. Then a man appears, foreign and fair, in the dry wastes of Mordor. He says no words they understand, is certainly not dressed for a battle. So they take him captive, and watch and wait.

    Gil-galad watches more than most. He finds he does not wish to stop.

    Summary

    This is what he’d been waiting for, this is why he’d suffered centuries in an odd sort of stasis. He’d seen the rise and fall of empire after empire, felt spikes in magic and heard whispers of legend that were so close to the real thing he’d nearly deluded himself into believing it time and time again, but nothing had felt quite like this. After an entire millennium of waiting, the King had returned.

    Or: Harry Potter is the fated Future King of Camelot and Merlin isn't about to let him grow up in Surrey with no knowledge of magic. What results is a Harry who's much better trained and much more well equipped to dive headfirst into chaos and a Merlin who remembers what it's like to care.

    Summary

    While on the hunt for Horcruxes, a chance encounter with Death Eaters ends with Harry being sent back in time to 1942 and de-aged to five years old. The horcrux inside of him leads Headmaster Dippet to the absurd conclusion that Harry must be Tom Riddle’s son from the future. Dippet believes it is best for model student Tom to take care of Harry until they find a way to send him back to his time.

    Tom is not happy with this arrangement at first.

    Summary

    "Death"

    "You are finally ready, I see"

    "Ready for what?"

    "To live"

    "Wasn't I doing just that?"

    "Were you?"

    Harry had no answer.
    (Perhaps that was answer enough. Or perhaps Death just enjoyed being cryptic. Hard to say.)
    ___

     

     

    {Time-travel AU. Watch as Harry is yeeted into the past, bullies the wizarding world into making sense, and absolutely refuses to follow Dumbledore’s script. Features excessive worldbuilding (someone's gotta fix this mess), slow-burn romance (because trauma-bonding is hot), and a protagonist who treats destiny like Terms & Conditions—unread and promptly ignored. Happy ending optional, sarcasm mandatory.}

    Summary

    In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.

    Other consequences are not short-term at all.

    Archived Author's Notes:
    I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.

    Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.

    Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.

    *I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

    Summary

    It's Courting Day: seventh- and eighth-year students get the chance to declare their intentions to formally woo each other.

    Summary

    It took the drastic move of Harry cutting his hair and getting rid of his glasses before Severus could see anything else than a mini James. But once he did he realised that he was not the only one blinded to the boy.
    The rest of the Wizarding world could only see the famed Boy-who-lived. Not the traumatised teen, with a far to heavy burden placed on his shoulders. With the clarity of his new sight he is horrified to see just how much the boy is suffering.
    When no one else tries to help Harry, Severus steps in.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was absolutely, unashamedly, done.
    First, Voldy uses a Ritual to bring his pasty snake ass back to life, killing Cedric- which, by the way, thanks for the extra trauma.
    Second, Harry goes through a lovely year of being tortured with a damn writing utensil and ends up in Azkaban after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries- which Dumbledore chose not to prevent.
    So, y'know, fuck him.

    One year later Harry gets released... only to find out he has to go back to the Dursley's; which, no thanks- his cell in Azkaban was looking rather comfy, in comparison to that hell hole.

    Luckily for the plot, Sirius knows of Harry's true parentage and decides it'll be better for everyone if Harry just pops over to America to be emancipated so he could then live with his godfather; it's not like this Tony Stark guy will put up much of a fuss right?
    Right???
