Ship(s): James Potter/Regulus Black, Marlene McKinnon & James Potter, [Minor or Background Relationship(s)] Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, Marlene McKinnon/Dorcas Meadowes, Mary Macdonald/Lily Evans Potter, Barty Crouch Jr./Evan Rosier 

Rating: T

Summary:

"He loves me?" "He loves me not?" "He loves me not."

James knew unrequited love was painful, sad and heartbreaking, but he never knew it would be flowers-wrapped-around-his-heart-and-lungs-blocking-his-air-supply-making-it-hard-for-him-to-breathe-and-live painful, but, oh well, what can James do if he doesn't like James back, he might just die it would make no difference.

OR James is in love with Regulus, Regulus doesn’t love him back. Now he is coughing up flowers and petals because this time, feelings might actually be fatal.

Ship(s): Sirius Black/Harry Potter

Rating: E

Summary:

It rocks Sirius to his core every time he thinks about it, because they aren’t the same – Harry and James.

Sure, Harry pushes his glasses up with the knuckle of his pointer finger. James used to do the same thing when he had dirt or sugar or random potion essence on his hands. Other people do that too. Sirius has never seen it, but they do.

Ship(s): Harry Potter/Hermione Granger

Rating: M

Summary:

Who, she wanted to ask. Who, she wanted to cry. Whose ghost is haunting you right now? As if his parents’ death wasn’t enough tragedy, as if the nineteen year old boy trembling in her arms hadn’t experienced enough pain to last a lifetime.

Tell me who you’re crying for and I’ll cry with you. 📜 In fifty years, will all this be declassified? by birbsletter

Ship(s): Mary MacDonald/Peter Pettigrew

Rating: M

Summary:

In her horror and regret, mornings like these felt like a slap, a cruel show of how beautiful life would be if she wasn’t broken, like a clockwork toy smashed against the wall by a spoiled child.

Ship(s): James Potter/Regulus Black

Rating: E

Summary:

James and Regulus played together one time seven years ago and for the next five years they pretended it meant nothing. After two years of dating but still playing with others at their local BDSM Club, they're going to have one last hurrah before committing to monogamy.

“If any of the other players give you an order I don’t like, I’ll step in and stop it or you can use your safe words any time. Otherwise, I expect you to be obedient, pleasing, and silent. Understood?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

“Good. Stand back up so I can kiss you, love, and then I’ll put your blindfold on.”

I’m actually obsessed with this ship

Thinking about Sirius being a big spoon cuddling James, and James completely melting in his arms, sharing a moment so vulnerable it's like they're the only ones in the universe, like they're the only two that matter. Sirius is able to give James everything he needs - comfort, safety and endless unconditional love, because James isn't just his love, James is his salvation. He will move mountains, hold the sky and rewrite the stars if it means getting to hold James like this, in his arms, right where he belongs.

Third chapter of Auror Potter is out!

MY BABIES

Who, she wanted to ask. Who, she wanted to cry. Whose ghost is haunting you right now? As if his parents’ death wasn’t enough tragedy, as if the nineteen year old boy trembling in her arms hadn’t experienced enough pain to last a lifetime.

Tell me who you’re crying for and I’ll cry with you.

It’s 1999 and Hermione is having a hard time adapting to all the new changes the war brought with her—trying to create some positive change in the Wizarding World while figuring out where she stands with Harry.

Harry, who gets increasingly worse as the days pass, slipping away into a dark corner of his mind she can’t reach anymore.

After a month and a half of struggling with this chapter of my ttpd fic, I finally finished it. Yay to me!

It’s a Post War story, mainly Harmione but with a bit Romionarry ✨sprinkled✨ all over it. Hope you like it! Inspired in So Long, London.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

If anyone is able to donate, it would be a huge help!

Harry time travels to the past (no specific ship)

(Or in most of these cases, to his first year at Hogwarts)

✨ Another Chance / 57k / Harry leaves the white limbo of King's Cross to find himself in his childhood cupboard once again. Luckily for him, it seems he's brought Ron and Hermione back with him, and with his best friends at his side he can do anything.

The Golden Trio take Hogwarts by storm, a bit more jaded and ruthless than before and determined to undermine the war before it ever truly starts.

✨ Oh God Not Again! / 151k / 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.

✨ family and other wonders / 124k / Harry was supposed to pick- move on and be with his parents, or go back to finish the battle with Voldemort. But even Dumbledore doesn't know everything, and Harry finds that there are actually a lot more options than those two.

Harry wants more than what he got. He wants a home. He wants a family. He wants a chance to be happy. He isn't sure he deserves all that, but he's going to try anyway. If only to spite Dumbledore and Voldemort's plans both.

OR: Harry Potter wakes up ten years old but with all of his memories from age seventeen. He immediately begins to make Mistakes.

✨ Another Chance / 244k / Harry willingly walks to face Voldemort for one last time. The moment the Killing Curse hits, he wakes up the day after he and Hermione traveled through time. Gifted this chance, Harry sets out to learn about about what has been denied to him since he lost his parents. Along the way he makes new friends, learns new magic, and carves out his place in the wizarding world.

✨ Harry Potter and the Ticket Backwards / 78k / When the most powerful magics collide due to Harry Potter's desperate, last sacrifice, he creates for himself a chance to fix up the wrongs in his world. Yet going back in time isn't everything that he expected: Voldemort is a threat, but it is Harry himself who no longer fits comfortably in the world. Time has changed him, he just hasn't yet figured out how.

✨ Everything Black / 67k /

If you had a chance to do it over again, make things better, would you take it?

or

Harry fakes it 'til he makes it.

OR

Harry -somehow- accidentally goes back in time.

✨ Square One / 59k / When Harry dies in the Forbidden Forest, he expected not to wake up. Much less wake up in his childhood cupboard, and even less expected was the letter from his friends confirming it wasn't just him starting over at square one.

Time-Travel fix it where the golden trio get sent back to first year! Starts on the day of Dudleys birthday! Sorry for all of the head cannons!!

Heavily inspired by Arkodian's series "What goes around comes around"!

✨ The Walking Paradox / 57k /

This was a bad dream.

It had to be. It must be a nightmare, purgatory, something. Anything, anything at all except for what his sneaking suspicions were saying.

There was no way – there was no way – Harry James Potter had been hit by the Killing Curse and promptly been transported back in time.

And yet.

(Yet another time travel fix-it fic - except it isn't a power fantasy.) (though those are good, too)

A school project based on Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban

and my husband, of course

Tomarrymort time travel fix it / Redo

These are not time travel to the 1940s. I have another post for that. These are mostly Harry has a do-over/second chance at life.

✨ Do it Over / 51k / A depressed postwar Harry has taken

Death's hand, reunited with the horcrux he mourned, and traveled into his own past.

Now he wakes up on the morning of his eleventh birthday, ready to do things differently this time. He has no grand plans, just the instinct to be close to the man whose soul he shares.

✨ way down we go / 18k / Harry Potter discovers truths about Tom Riddle and Albus Dumbledore’s past, and he decides to enlist Ron and Hermione's help in travelling back in time to the 1930s and fixing what was broken before Tom can become the infamous Dark Lord.

But once he goes back in time, he can never return.

✨ The Darkening of Your Soul / 260k / Harry is betrayed. Harry gets a second chance to do it all over again.

There is just one catch. If Harry gets to keep his memories from his previous life, so does Voldemort.

✨ The only sound is the overflow / 53k / It was his second time dying. And soon after, it was his second time coming back to life.

Somehow, he was still alive.

And he was living his life all over again

✨ Harry Potter and the Greatest Show / 177k / The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.

Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.

And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.

Because that makes sense.

(No. No it doesn't.)

But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.

✨ Tip of Your Tongue / 78k / Getting grabbed around the ankle at the last second by a screaming Uncle Vernon? Not great.

Kicking Vernon in the face while Fred shouted, "Floor it!", thus resulting in the Dursley patriarch falling out a window?

Genuinely a top 10 moment in Harry's life.

After dying and being thrown back into his 11 year-old body with limited access to his memories from his past life, Harry's had to get by with only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to keep him from making the same choices (and mistakes) as he did before. But now that he's more connected than ever with his sixth-sense, the barriers that kept his past from him are breaking down. Dreams and visions are bombarding him more frequently, and just in time. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and as his deja-vu brain keeps saying, "It's not happening like it did last time.

✨ A Change of Fate / 183k / In which soulmates exist and Harry

Potter takes control of his own destiny, and Tom Riddle gets a chance he doesn't deserve.

Soulmates Time Travel AU that starts off in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Harry is at the white train station).

Or, in which Death hated the Epilogue and gives Harry a chance to claim his soulmate and fix this shit.

✨ Resurrect The Living / 100k / Circumstance makes Harry an offer he can't refuse.

"I can get you the Elixir of Life," Harry says. "But I need your help with something else."

"You," says Voldemort, cautious now, wary now that this confrontation hasn't gone at all like he expects, a little incredulous, "need Lord Voldemort to help you?"

Harry looks right past him for a second, jaw tense. "Yeah. You're the only one who can, apparently."
