Summary
On his darkest days, Tom Riddle had written into his diary, "Sometimes, I wish I'd never been born." Ginny put the golden chain around her neck, like a hangman's noose. She took the hourglass in her hands, closed her eyes, and spun.

Summary
“And they’re calling him ‘The Boy Who Lived’? Mycroft asked.
“It’s quite a legacy,” Fudge defended.
Mycroft scoffed. “It’s quite a mouthful.” He watched as Potter’s eyes crinkled.Mycroft prided himself on his intelligence and his control. Right now he knew more than both British ministers and had control over two Harry Potters.
It was like Christmas, his birthday, and Easter combined.Series

Summary
Tom Riddle wanted to cheat Death. Unfortunately for him, Death has their own opinions on the matter—and they’re not too happy about Riddle’s disrespect for their favorite animal, either. Time for everyone’s favorite omnipotent deity to teach him a lesson—and maybe gain a new Master, while they’re at it.
Now, the boy who wanted eternal life finds himself with nine of them—plus four paws, one very fluffy tail, zero magic and three Hallows to find if he ever wants to be a handsome human wizard again. And, wait, how is Harry Potter involved in all this?
Meanwhile, Crookshanks…Crookshanks has opposable thumbs, a wand, and the full resources of the Knights of Walpurgis at his disposal.
OR: The Tom and Crookshanks bodyswap crackfic literally no one asked for.

Summary
Harry's life post final battle isn't what he expected it would be, and then he dies, just like that.
He gets a second chance but forgets to read the fine-print, and ends up somewhere in the distant past while his body suddenly looks quite differently.
Now he's stuck as a teenager attending Hogwarts again, where he encounters an old enemy, and surprise, it's not Tom Riddle. All Harry has to do now is survive long enough to build a life for himself that's actually worth living.

Summary
If blindness wasn’t enough for Ariadne Granger to deal with upon attending Hogwarts, being the transgender Girl Who Lived didn’t help matters.
Blind trans girl Harry Potter fic to spite JK Rowling’s TERF ass. Starts before Ariadne has even figured out she’s a girl and before she is rescued from the Dursleys.
Also, because people sometimes seem to think it is: this is not your tranny-approved ticket for a guilt-free Potter fix, don't get in my ear about how this makes you feel less guilty about engaging with the fandom. It's explicitly meant to critique Potter and its writer, and I am not a Harry Potter fan. It's just in the form of a story because that's what I'm good at. This is not a work of fandom, no highly esteemed story is commemorated here.

Summary
There once was a tale of three brothers and the gifts bestowed upon them by Death. Such a tale is one of intrigue, of adventure, of tragedy. Such a tale is a lie.
Or; a story of time travel, genocide, and a boy who just wants to live.

Summary
The Killing Curse struck twice. Green light split the graveyard and The-Boy-Who-Lived fell with the spare. For a breathless, suspended second, there was silence. But, something ancient turned its head. Death had not been consulted.
When Cedric Diggory’s body inhaled again, it was not with the soul that had left it. Across the grass, Lord Voldemort smiled because he did not yet understand that he had made a different kind of mistake.
