Summary
“Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
“Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
And Lily Potter stepped aside.
Voldemort stared at her.
“... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
“No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
"You belong to me now" he whispered.
And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
Harry is tired of fighting.
When the world offers him something quieter, something away from the noise and expectations, he stops running and takes it.
When survival no longer has to be the only thing that matters, something else has room grow.

Summary
No one knew that when they destroyed the Horcruxes, they weren't destroying them.
They were releasing them.
And Voldemort absorbed each piece bit by bit, until they filled him back up again.

Summary
Neither can live while the other survives.
For most of his life, Harry Potter believed the prophecy meant one of them had to die. He could not have been more wrong.
After Voldemort's final defeat, Harry discovers that years of shared blood, tangled magic, and a fragment of soul lodged beneath his scar have left them too intertwined to ever truly become separate again. Voldemort dies, and Harry follows soon after, his magic and soul unraveling beneath the weight of a fate that can neither keep them together nor pull them apart.
But this was totally not in fate’s plan. And somehow the solution involves sending Harry back to Halloween night in 1981 with a teenage Tom Riddle attached to him.
Now stranded in another universe, armed with new identities, a baby version of himself, and a former Dark Lord who insists on a political career, Harry has only one goal: Give his younger self the childhood he never had.
