    Summary

    “Professors McGonagall and Moody kept them working until the very last second of their classes too, and Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry.”

    — Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

    "Challenge Accepted."

    It's Easter of year six and Harry struggles with visions he's inherited from Voldemort. Dumbledore is reaching the end of his time and needs to ensure someone will take care of Harry after he's gone. An incident in the Forbidden Forest where Snape must care for an injured Harry without using magic sets in motion a chain of events that impacts how the prophecy plays out and brings former enemies to a place of mutual understanding.

    Alternative Year Six story that extends into Harry's post-Hogwarts years. Canonical as possible through OotP. (Originally written and posted between November 2003 and June 2005, between books 5 and 6 around movie 3 under the username GreenGecko. This is the 5th edition.) This story can be read as a standalone. It comes to completion without a cliffhanger.

    Summary

    “Come on,” was all Jayce said. “I’m taking you home.”
    Viktor shook his head, eyes widening slightly. After a moment of trying to organize his racing thoughts, he looked down and said,
    “I am not sure being alone would be the most responsible thing for me at the moment.”
    “Alright, well… No problem, then.”
    The other man looked up, confused. It still sounded very much like a problem. The sentiment must have been clear on his face because Jayce quickly explained.
    “Viktor, I am officially inviting myself to sleep over.”

    If Viktor had ever imagined getting Jayce into his bed, it would not have been like this.

    Summary

    Stanley Pines, age 26, wakes up in a park to a nerd staring at him. The kid says his name is Dipper and that he's on a mission to reunite Stan with his brother. Stan doesn't really want to do this, but Dipper is offering to pay, and he says his brother is in trouble. Stanley will always help Stanford, no matter what shit has happened in the past, so he sets off.

    Stanford Pines, age 26, wakes up in his house to a teenage girl chatting with his friend, Fiddleford McGucket. The girl- Mabel, supposedly- knows all about his muse and their dalliances because she is, also supposedly, his great-niece from the future. While he does not want to reunite with Stanley necessarily, she essentially blackmails him into being nice when he arrives. Because apparently Stanley is coming to his house. Joy.

    (Dipper and Mabel, on the eve of their 18th birthday, are sent back in time to their Grunkles 1 year before the portal is completed. They both, separately and then together, work to fix the mistakes of the past. Featuring a matchmaking Mabel and a scam artist icon Dipper.)

    Summary


    “This is the most stupid thing you’ve ever done!” Hermione yells after Harry. Then she blinks. They’re no longer at Grimmauld Place and, sitting huddled together on a familiar four-poster bed with red hangings, are four teenaged boys, staring avidly at them. Well, this is just brilliant, she thinks. “And you didn’t even get the year right!”

     

    Or: the one in which Harry is done with the war and thinks it’s time he got something he wanted for a change. He misses his godfather, goddammit.
