Harry Potter and the Chamber of Snake by gonzoclock

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book two.
Features: a Harry Potter making a ridiculous amount of terrible decisions; an exhausted Remus Lupin that did NOT sign up for this but by god will he be there for Harry anyways; a Severus Snape who didn't actually think this year could be worse then last year and is proven wrong in a big way; Dumbledore being awful; and Harry's snake Merlin, who just wants to play quidditch ONE TIME.

Summary
July, '95. Harry's worst ever summer. Against a backdrop of Tory suburbia, royal divorce, Britpop, hip hop and war in the former Yugoslavia, Harry is sticking it out through a summer plagued by the twin demons of trauma and puberty. He's going to be okay—just not this year.

Summary
After Voldemort is defeated the summer before their 6th year, Hermione believes she and Harry will be together for life...but this wasn't quite what she had in mind. A Harmony fic that subverts and deconstructs the standard tropes associated with the pairing. Not for hardcore shippers.

Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

Summary
In a world where Voldemort's victory brought forth the golden age of pureblood supremacy, young Harry - an average Durmstrang student - grows surrounded by the same propaganda that has become the gospel truth of the Wizarding World. Injustice is a norm and racism is not only accepted, but actively encouraged. Embracing the status quo becomes harder when Harry finds himself in a train station where the living should not dwell, and a dangerous friend who goes by the name "Tom".

Harry Potter and the Secrets of Vipers by orphan_account

Summary
Harry Potter returns for his fifth year at Hogwarts amidst an increasingly unstable political situation. And this year, for the first time, Hogwarts is no longer firmly under Albus Dumbledore's control. Threats inside and outside the school put pressure on some of Harry's closest friendships, and power struggles lie beneath the surface of every faction in the brewing conflict. At its center is the Potter family, and Harry's position is more critical, and more precarious, than ever.

Summary
“I’m doing something here I don’t do very often. I’m giving you a choice. Ronald, do you want to follow your own path? Do you want to follow your ambitions? Do you want to be looked up to?”. Yeah, that sounded bloody nice, Ron thought to himself.
Ron always hoped he would be sorted into Gryffindor, just like his brothers. But after seeing his so far only friend Harry get sorted into Slytherin, he starts doubting it a little. So, when the hat tells him he can thrive in Slytherin, that he was not just going to be another Weasley if he goes to Slytherin, Ron accepts.
This is a long-fic spanning from first to seventh year, from Ron Weasley's perspective. It's a Harry/Ron slow-burn, and when I say slow-burn, I really mean it. It's going to be slooow.
