    Summary

    "We don't even ask for happiness, just a little less pain."

    __

    The wool blanket is navy with some intricate threads of cream woven in. He traces a stitch with the pad of his thumb, but stops and frowns when he notices that his knuckles have healing yellow bruises on them.

    He wonders where that's from, then subsequently stiffens and wonders where the hell he is.

    Which, you know, leads him to his next question: Who is he?

    __

    Or: Peter wakes up with no memories in a remote cabin where a mysterious man tells him that they're married.

    Summary

    "Ignore the dementor; really, it's fine. There are no monsters here. It's just me…Harry."

    When things go very wrong before his fifth year, Harry Potter tries to pretend everything is normal…while also taking care of his Harry-suit so that it stays healthy and alive and learning to rein in his new powers, yeah everything is definitely normal.

    Summary

    He’s not just writing I must not tell lies anymore. He’s writing everyone’s lines, and they all appear on different parts of his body.
    He starts categorizing everyone by their lines.
    Anthony Goldstein. I must not fall asleep in class. On his left hip.
    Luna Lovegood. I must adhere to the dress code. Underneath one of his ears.
    Susan Bones. I must not presume to know better than the Ministry. Across his heart.
    Fred and George Weasley. I must not wreak havoc. On both of his collarbones.
    All of them scarred on his body. All of them not knowing that he took all of their pain, their humiliation, their penance.

    // Harry gets the stupid idea to take on everyone's detentions without telling anyone. Umbridge doesn't think it's enough.

    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore's magic faded from the world ten days after his funeral. Wards, bindings, traps, controls, glamours - the scope of the wizard's interference in the Wizarding World was greater than anyone realized. Obliviated memories returned. Powerful magic was released from its chains. Geasa were broken. Thankfully, some wizards were ready. Ready to step in. To step up. To offer help and hope to the teenager who had been weighed down with too many expectations and too little information.

    His core and mind released from Dumbledore's bindings, Harry Potter would not flee, he wouldn't take off on a hopeless task handed out by a dead wizard. Severus Snape was released from Dumbledore's complete control. And Remus Lupin opened his eyes, embraced his power and oaths, and turned eagerly to protect and train his cub.

    Complete re-write of Book 7. AU.

    Summary

    Harry Potter really didn’t plan on living past his fated confrontation with Lord Voldemort. When the latent basilisk venom and phoenix tears in his blood started making dramatic changes to his body, he wasn’t that concerned. It’s not like he was going to live long enough for it to be a problem anyway.

    Even if he had planned to live past the final battle, then he could never have guessed the struggle awaiting him on the other side, or that he’d become a magnet for those with nowhere else to go like the snarky house elf, the grumpy phoenix, the injured vampire, or the stray werewolf that showed up on their doorstep…oh, and the egg. You can’t forget the egg; that’s the most important, more than anyone or anything else on the planet. Harry will do whatever it takes…literally whatever, even light the fire and watch the world burn, all for the sake of the egg.
