Summary
Somehow, I find myself reborn in the world of Harry Potter as a no-name orphan. You know what that means: pursuing magic's secrets and uncovering the most tantalizing of mysteries this world has to offer! Oh, Voldemort? Why should I care? SI OC. A slow-boil, realistic journey of a man rediscovering his path in a world of great magic— whether for good, or for evil.

Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
Another take on WHAT-IF Harry got rid of Voldemort in fifth year? Oh yeah and WHAT-IF he just so happened to fall in love with certain twins? In disguise. Under a wrong name, that is. Shenanigans ahead.
Also a take on self-discovery and gender fluidity.(Or the one in which Harry gives the headmaster the finger and decides to go exploring the Wizarding World on his own.)

Summary
Artemis Lee never wanted to go to a stupid, outdated magic school with a bunch of sheltered children. She should have struggled more to get on the train. But she didn't, and so here she is, furiously resigned to suffering for the next seven years.
And honestly, she really couldn’t give a shit about what will happen to the backwards British wizarding world and all its weird progenies around her.
(Except no matter how much she says she doesn't care, she does.)

Darling, I’ve Done Something Stupid by Alexandra_Dashwood
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
19 Sep 2026

Summary
At sixteen, I made a mistake.
Not a small one. Not a “slightly questionable judgment” sort of mistake. No. I made a time altering, law-breaking, ancestor-complicating mistake.
After one celebratory evening, several glasses of something expensive, and what I maintain was an excellent idea at the time, I used a forbidden family heirloom : a Chrono-Selective Time-Turner, to “briefly” visit my father.
You know. For a few hours.
The Time-Turner, unfortunately, decided I needed narrative consequences.
So instead of a polite, emotionally contained reunion, I got thrown headfirst into the First Wizarding War, stranded in the past, and immediately mistaken for my father’s suspiciously familiar-looking half-sister.
Which is already a problem.
It becomes worse.
Because now I’m:
- Lying to purebloods with alarming ease
- Outperforming people who take that sort of thing very personally
- Starting rivalries I absolutely did not plan (but am enjoying immensely)
- And, somehow, attracting attention I really should not be attracting...Blending in was never part of the plan.
Neither was staying.

Darling, I’m Raising a Hero (Sort Of) by Alexandra_Dashwood

Summary
At sixteen, I decided that one woefully neglected six-year-old boy—yes, that boy, with a destiny too heavy for his tiny shoulders—deserved a proper childhood. Naturally, I handled this with the subtlety of a goblin wielding a glitter cannon: I stole a Chrono-Selective Time-Turner from my family vault, defied at least three minor laws of physics, and hurled myself headfirst into the 1980s, where I promptly reinvented myself as Alex Selwyn—French accent, golden eyes, and just enough charm to convince anyone that my sudden appearance wasn’t suspicious.
Blending in? Hah. Spoiler: I don’t. Between part-time jobs in Diagon Alley, endless doodles, perfectly timed pranks, and occasionally questioning the very concept of “legal behavior,” I discovered the revolutionary art of caring for someone unconditionally.
And Harry? Well, that poor, unsuspecting child got a childhood that was messy, magical, and probably legally questionable in half a dozen countries, full of laughter, crepes, and chaos—the sort of childhood only a slightly reckless, world-bendingly dramatic witch like me could provide.

Summary
Lilies are symbols of grieving, surely as they are symbols of innocence, of motherhood purity, renewal, and transience.
They can be toxic, greedy, and voracious in their growth.
Lillian Powell wakes in the body of one Lily Potter, with a screaming toddler, a weeping wound like Lichtenberg figures stark in her fair skin, and the expansion of the stars above her in the late night of October 31st, 1981.

Summary
It all starts with the stars, doesn't it?
She doesn't know how she got there, or why. But she has a mum who she loves, magic at her fingertips she only read about in books, and a whole lot of knowledge and not enough backbone to let things play out how they're supposed to.
Having a bleeding heart always did make things more difficult for her.
Or alternatively: Confused woman wakes up as a baby and later finds out she's in the HP universe, gets attached to the characters and makes her way into trolling most adults, just because.
