Summary
Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.
He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.
(Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

Summary
It took a few moments - quite a few, in fact, most of them spent huddling on his office couch, cuddling his favourite desktop organiser - to get over the whole ‘so close to death, he probably owed it flowers’ thing, well enough to fully grasp what had happened.
He had gone back in time. He was no longer the Pupil of the Eye, but plain Elias Bouchard, the Heart of the Magnus Institute, with a plan for greatness which he now knew was absolutely, one hundred percent, going to work.
If he wanted it to.

Summary
"No, I— I’m an esper. A psychic.”
Half an hour ago, Martin would have thought that was completely ludicrous, an obvious attempt to deflect, or the words of a delusional man. Now, though—
“Now you’ve seen it in action. You know that I can hear your thoughts. How else would I know you’re a spy? How else would I know your name is Martin?”
His breath catches in his throat.
-
What was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission takes a dramatic turn, and one Agent's life will never be the same again.

Summary
As long as he’s known Arthur – as long as he’s hated and tolerated and liked and loved him – John has wanted his own body. An identity all his own. When he and Arthur find a way to make it happen, it should be perfect. It needs to be perfect. But Arthur still can’t see, and John makes some unfortunate discoveries about his new body, and they’re both having a hell of a time of it. They aren’t alone, but it’s hard to remember that when you don’t share the same moral frame anymore. Hard, but not impossible.

Oh, I Love You So Much (It Scares Me Half To Death) by SupposedToBeWriting
Fandoms: Malevolent (Podcast)
01 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
Arthur and John have become Doe & Lester, private detectives. Finally in his own body, John is eager to see what the rest of his mortal life holds -- Arthur, on the other hand, believes that John should spend his life without Arthur holding him back. Arthur is not the sort of man who can provide stability, warmth. A family.
On a case, they find a baby clutched in the arms of her dead father. John grows attached quickly, and together, the men discover that the baby is in fact Emily MacFarland from another timeline... and that the universe is much more breakable than they thought.
The sky falls around their ears, strange flesh monsters crawl from portals, and the world seems to be nearing its end. John begins to realize what exactly he wants out of life, as Arthur faces the constant enemy to his own happiness: himself.

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

The Knight's Gambit (OLD VERSION) by Aku_Cinta_Kamu
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
22 Feb 2025
Tags
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 makes a plan to fake his death and go kill Voldemort and all his horcruxes on his own. After all, he knows all of the opposition's moves already, and they know nothing about his. What could possibly go wrong?
DEAD FIC! CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN!

Summary
“You’re an Unspeakable!”
Draco Malfoy stops, his hand on the doorknob to the staircase.
“An excellent observation, Potter.” He says dryly. “May I continue on the way to my job there? I am supposed to be on the clock right now; I was already running late…”
“I started looking into it.” Harry says quickly, “If I had known you worked for the Ministry when we talked before, I would have asked for your help. As is, we could use an ongoing informant.”
“I’m a researcher, Potter. Not law enforcement. I did my part; do yours.”
“But-”
“Unless you want to go back in time; I’ve given all the help I can give.” Draco cuts across him, opening the stairway door.
“Wait-” Harry says, blinking quickly as he watches Draco disappear down the stairs. “Is that an actual option?”
---
Nearly a decade after the second wizarding war, there's rumblings of a coming third, and Unspeakable Draco Malfoy tries warning the Head of the Auror department, Harry Potter, about the troubling signs he's seen around him, but when Harry takes an off hand comment related to Draco's research seriously, everything changes.- Language:

Summary
“Harry!” He looked back to see his mentor’s face, pale underneath the streaks of blood and ash that covered it. His golden eyes were wide as they locked on Harry, seeming almost nervous.
“There’s no time!” Draco called out, grabbing his hand and pulling Harry towards the massive turner that would take them (hopefully) back twenty years into the past.
“Forgive us!” Remus called, raising his voice now over the building hum of the time turner, carrying a note of desperation. “He always meant to tell you. But then he was gone and it didn’t seem my place.”
“What–” Harry began, but then the power of the turner coursed through him, through his arm where Draco held him and he felt himself get dragged backwards into the vortex. The last thing he saw before his world went dark was the pleading in Remus’ eyes.
“Forgive us.”
Or: Harry and Draco travel back in time to defeat Voldemort and find that nearly everything they knew about the past (and present) is built on lies.

Summary
The work Harry does is justifiable. It’s justice. He works for his country, and his country is a republic—the magical side, anyway. It’s not laudable work, it’s not work he’s proud of, but it’s necessary work. Harry has always taken the necessary jobs that no one else has the stomach for.
It’s just that he’s never deciphered a kill sheet and seen Draco Malfoy’s name on it.
Career Choices: Harry: Hit Wizard; Draco: Anti-Government Extremist

Summary
“My soulmates… well. I’ve always known them as Gerry and Agnes.”
Even with all the build up, it takes a long second for recognition to hit. “As-- as in--” Martin bites his lip before his voice can go any higher. He leans forward and hisses across the table “Gerard Keay and Agnes Montague?!”
Jon’s face does something complicated. “He really does hate ‘Gerard’, but. Yes.”
---
Some soulmates are unlucky, born too far apart in space and time to naturally meet. Jonathan Sims is one of them, because of course he is. But that doesn't mean the universe would be cruel enough to keep them from ever knowing each other.- Language:

Summary
The Archivist was silent for a moment. “I led prey to them,” they replied. “I helped them hunt. I asked for a story in return, but they didn’t want to give one, so they brought me to you instead.”
He smiled at that, wide and angry in the dark, clenching his teeth until he could imagine the taste of blood. “Did they, now.”

It had made him feel sufficiently shitty, he thought, as he typed out a professional acceptance note on his phone. Dejected, he accepted the shitty, horrible, fucked up offer because he was broke, and because he was broken.
He dragged his leaden limbs to bed, and worried. He had a weekend to prepare for his first week working at, not for, The Magnus Institute.
