Summary
“Harry, are you going to explain any of this?" Ron asked. "Or did you go totally senile in that fall?”
Harry didn't know where to start. He looked at the young teenager in front of him, his mind whirring. This was his best friend. He would always trust Ron with any big changes in his life, Harry decided. Regardless of how old he was.
And honestly, Harry needed help right now.
OR
While hunting horcruxes with Ron and Hermione, a freak accident lands seventeen-year-old Harry Potter back in his thirteen-year-old body. He has to tell someone, and who better to trust than his best friends? Don't worry, though: even this cannot tear their friendship apart.

Summary
A continuation of my fic Even This. Now that Ron, Hermione, and Ginny have joined Harry in 1993, it's time to actually grab hold of this opportunity to fix the future! Though their actions definitely grab the attention of...well, basically everyone. But changing the future is easier with help, right? What could possibly go wrong?
In this pseudo-sequel, each chapter will be told from the point-of-view of one of the non-time travelers. How long does it take Albus Dumbledore to notice that something weird is going on in his castle? How do Molly and Arthur react to the sudden change in their youngest two children? And so on, the story goes. The various POVs will slowly reveal the actions of the time travelers as they strive to save lives...and maybe the whole fate of the wizarding world, while they're at it.

Summary
Ron accidentally travels back in time. So much the worse for him.
[There are so many stories about time travelers, but almost none of them feature Ron. So many stories of good Death Eaters and bad Dumbledore. So many stories about an all-powerful protagonist who easily solves all problems. This story will not be like that. Ron is the main character who accidentally returns to the past and tries to do everything so that his life does not fall apart.]

Summary
A past that was too hard to bear,
A regret that he could not share.
A heart that was filled with pain,
A regret that will remain.It had been three years since the War, and somehow, someway, they had rebuilt. In an accident no one could have predicted, Ron is whisked away to a time before regret.
Hopeless for his future, he sets about changing the past.Bookmarked by TheRealisticOptimist

Summary
Harry's not afraid of death. He accepted a long time ago that he would probably die young. He hoped he'd be proven wrong, but as he walks through the forbidden forest to destroy the Horcrux inside of him, he knows it was never meant to be.
He's not afraid of dying, but he didn't want to yet.
He wishes he had more time to be a kid, to be with Ron and Hermione, to enjoy life just a little longer.
He wishes and wishes and wishes with every step he takes towards his death, and somewhere, somebody listens.
And his wish is granted.

Summary
Marty thought he was handling his adjustment to his new 1985. He really did. And then he momentarily forgot who he was now living with.
NOTE: I changed the publication date on this to November 26th, as it's kind of a Thanksgiving story. At least, the "present-day" part of the story takes place on Thanksgiving Wednesday.
