Summary
After her husband is unfaithful and her cookie-cutter perfect world is turned on its head, Petunia Evans Dursley finds herself in her old hometown, full of regrets and feeling that her life has been without purpose. Before she can quietly take her own life, she is given an impossible offer by a long-dead figure from the magical world: return to the past, and rewrite her own history. Seeing it as a chance to make up for her biggest regret, Petunia accepts and finds herself in the middle of a Wizarding war she knew little about, protecting the younger sister she tried to forget by seeking help from the one person in the magical world she knows how to find.
A what-if story beginning in the latter years of the first war against Voldemort, where an unlikely alliance turns into an even more unlikely romance, and the bonds that bloom from it will change the course of Wizarding history.

Summary
“Potter…why is a horcrux of the Dark Lord sitting in your living room in muggle Surrey?” Severus Snape slowly and calmly asked as if he was holding onto his last thread of sanity while waiting for the answer.
“Well, we met back in my second year at school, became friends since I didn’t know who his future self was, he tried to kill me, I killed him, and then he floated around the aether for a couple years,” Harry sighed. It was all so very complex.
---
Everyone has had a summer from hell after what happened with the Triwizard Tournament. Literally everyone, even the part of Voldemort's soul that he thought he'd gotten rid of so very long ago. When Harry Potter's worst enemy asks for his help though...well, that pesky saving people thing just really gets in the way.

Summary
Harry Potter was born in 1977, three years before his brother Charlus. It was his brother who vanquished Voldemort on Halloween, 1981, while he is taken by Sirius Black - and accidentally locked in Azkaban.
Contains mild James and Lily bashing, but they aren't evil. Not evil Harry Potter.

Summary
“Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
“Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
And Lily Potter stepped aside.
Voldemort stared at her.
“... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
“No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
"You belong to me now" he whispered.
And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

Summary
Jackson needs a pack. It's not easy to admit, but he needs one, especially under the circumstances he was turned into a werewolf. The issue is, the Hale pack isn't really a pack. It's a ticking time bomb that's bound to end up with more dead bodies.
Mark his words, he's going to leave this shit town behind him. Leave this pack that hates him, this Alpha that abuses him any chance he gets, this place that literally fucking killed him. He'll get out of this hell he's trapped in.
And he does.
He just never thought it would include Stiles Stilinski.

Summary
I've read a lot of time travel fics in this fandom that revolve around Harry, and many that revolve around Hermione, but only a choice few choose to focus on Ron. I've decided to take up the challenge myself.
Ron Weasley is a strategist. When he's thrown back in time to before his first year at Hogwarts, he gets to planning. He's going to win this war before it even starts, whatever the cost to his sanity-- or the sanity of his friends and family, who are more alarmed by the day.
This is a rewrite of the first fic in the series. It will have major differences beginning in chapter 4 - the prologue and first three chapters remain unchanged.

Summary
Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.

Summary
Harry is below average in almost every way, but that's alright. He doesn't need to be smart to support his father, the man-who-lived, with the one thing he excels at: healing injuries solely with the power of his mind.
Life might be a little dull, but Harry takes comfort in the sense of purpose he gets from healing his father's injuries.
And then Harry finds Voldemort in his house, badly injured and chained to a wall, and everything changes.

Sheriff Stiles deals with a threat to his town, Derek helps, and the evil cavalry arrives on schedule.
---
"Stop trying to make 'Spark' happen. Deaton using a corny metaphor does not make 'Spark' a thing.""Hey, it's a thing! It's my thing!" Stiles spread his arms and wriggled his fingers. "I didn't spend all those years in sparky magic school to be--"
"Austin Powers, really?" Derek's look of disdain would have crushed a lesser being. Luckily, Stiles was used to it.
"I need to use references old enough for you to get them, since you're practically a senior citizen."

Summary
When Jack O’Neill found himself fourteen years in the past, he had to work out why he’d been sent back to this point. The ‘how’ was uncertain, and probably irrelevant, he decided, for the moment at least. Now all he had to do was change the things he thought were important, preferably without killing his Grandad – ‘or was it killing my Granny? For cryin’ out loud, I wish I’d listened better to Carter!’
