Summary
Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff-- houses have never mattered, not for the Trio. And now there's a war on. What would it look like to build a side of their own for a change?
And Justin's careful and best friends with all the ghosts and the portraits, and Neville's coming into his own, and Ginny won't even hesitate to punch you in the face if you bad mouth her crew.
And why exactly does Voldemort care so much about some vague prophecy?
Or: fifth year means Umbridge, the DA, and learning how to fight a war.

Summary
“…That gem.” Blue whispered, eyes wide.
In another world Steven had shown it in defiance as he confessed and everyone would have just passed a glance at it before wanting to know how he’d killed a Diamond. In another world Blue was distracted by her grief, her desperation for answers clouding her vision.
In this world Blue Diamond, who had sat in a room filled with bubbled Rose Quartz gems for thousands of years and stared at them until Yellow Diamond arrived to drag her away, noticed something she should have seen before. The gem was too light to be a Rose Quartz. The gem was too clear. It shined too brightly, the light catching it perfectly.
But she remembered a gem similar, a gem that haunted her memories. She saw it when she cried. She knew that gem.
“I know this gem.”

Summary
After getting caught in an exploding time machine (long story) after a road-trip-turned-treasure-hunt across the United States (even longer story), Harry is blasted back to the past. Twenty years and some change, in fact. Landing in the bygone years of the 1970s, Harry gets the chance of lifetime to meet his parents, to talk to and get to know them and understand the people they were.
Or rather, the children they were. He seems to have found himself dropped in on them at the end of their second year at Hogwarts.
Featuring time-travel shenanigans, Harry with an agenda and record levels of Big Brother Energy, and the Marauders (and Lily and co.) as snot-nosed punks that won't stop following Harry around like a bunch of lost ducklings. This isn't a fix-it fic. This is a revolution.

Summary
The Lone Traveler was created by another author over a decade ago. I asked permission to write stories with the character but the author never responded. He also disappeared from the fanfiction universe. So after two years, I went ahead.
Originally a tortured soul, he healed himself by helping others and, eventually, was promoted for his good works.
The occasional story may be added, but I have taken it to the farthest conclusion I can go: The Lone Traveler meeting the figure which, in the author's opinion, inspired the concept of a super-powered Harry Potter.
It doesn't end with dramatic action. It ends quietly with a concept of hope. After all, hope was the driving force behind the character the entire time.

Summary
Techno slammed his fists against the transparent wall of his prison, trying his best to break it down. His captors backed up, whistling anxiously to each other.
He gave the barrier another loud crack, delightedly watching as they scrambled away in abject terror.
Nodding in satisfaction, he turned around to meet the eyes of two other prisoners that had been thrown into his cell.
He froze.
Right.
There were now aliens in his cell.
And he probably just scared the hell out of them.
Or: Humans are a dangerous race feared by all on an intergalactic scale. Techno, a human ex-soldier that was abducted by aliens 18 months ago, is biding his time in captivity.
This changes when two young aliens are sent into his cell to die.

Summary
An SMP can mean many things to a player.
It can mean a good time. A place to retreat when private servers and test worlds just don't live up to expectations. It can mean war, murder, and griefing. It can mean friends, games, and challenges. The list goes on and on.
But one SMP means... a bit more to its residents.
It means family.

She grimaced at the gravel's grinding sound beneath her as she uncurled herself and began to move across the stone roof. Standing on her knees and placing both hands on the spire, Pearl hesitantly peeked out beyond her hiding spot into the courtyard below.
Instead of the giant, robust figure she had been expecting, the creature was small. Toddler-size, if that. It was standing when she first looked, but as she watched it plopped down on the ground, making another sad mewing sound.
It looked like a baby. A baby warden. Pearl had no clue those even existed.

Or, Pearl, Gem and Impulse accidentally find a baby warden.

Summary
The Boy-Who-Lived is dead and the world has rolled on without him. Voldemort's victory over magical Great Britain is complete, but traces of the war linger on.
Ten years later, Harry Potter is just trying to survive each day as it comes. He knows the rules; he keeps his head down and he does his best to blend in with the muggles. He keeps his magic locked up tight and doesn't stay in the same place for too long.
Harry's not trying to win a war, he's just trying to escape it.
Magic rolled over him, a crackle of heat sliding over his skin and the tinny taste of metal and juniper coating the back of his mouth. It was a crushingly familiar weight, pinning him in place with an iron hand that made a small voice in the back of his head begin to scream, setting his skin prickling and crawling. Seclusion wards, Harry thought, automatic and numb. Walls raised to keep prey in and competing predators out.

Summary
“I can’t believe I’m giving you advice,” Rowle muttered to himself, running his fingers through his short, sandy blond hair. His blue eyes met the Slytherin Head Boy's stormy gray eyes across the library table that they sat, and a grimace crossed Ravenclaw's face. “Look Riddle, Evans isn’t someone to mess around with. I know he looks nonthreatening, being so short, and thin, like a gust of wind could blow him over; but if you keep fucking with him it’s your funeral.”
Tom arched an incredulous brow. He looked at seventeen-year-old Theodore Rowle, all six-feet and two inches of him, and compared him to the five-foot-five fifteen-year-old Henry Evans in his mind. The fact that the Ravenclaw was in any way frightened of his small, sylphlike housemate was laughable to him when Theodore was so large and broad-shouldered in comparison. But he was. Noticeably so. Tom didn’t need to use legilimency to see it. “Why are you so afraid of him?” He wondered aloud.
“Because I’m not stupid,” Rowle scoffed. “We’ve known each other a long time. I know what he’s capable of.”
Tom leaned forward in his seat, interested. “And praytell, Rowle, just what is Evans capable of?”Series

Summary
You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.
Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.
You don't think this was in your employee contact.

Summary
It’s mesmerising, following the fluid lines of the sculpture from the neck to the tail, each detail so delicately carved and shaped it’s impossible to imagine that it’s been carved from stone.
He’s reached a hand out before he knows it, stroking one finger carefully along the raised spines of the dragon, along its back. It’s warm beneath his hand, despite all the stone around him being cold. It’s definitely some kind of stone though, maybe a refined obsidian of some kind? It seems to swallow the light around it completely.
His finger is warm where he is touching the statue.

Summary
His attention skipped passed the students and moved to the politicians’ pavilion. His gaze locked with crimson, and he nearly faltered under the sheer hunger in those eyes.
It unnerved him how fixated the man was on his dirtied, exhausted figure.
But what troubled him more was the slight smirk he could make out on the man’s lips. It was almost pleased.
On the night of the attack, Lily managed to escape with her infant son, but at the cost of her husband’s life. Distraught and distrusting of her friends, she fled to France with Harry, to raise him away from the corruption in Britain and the rising influence of the Dark Lord. She trains him to the best of her abilities, shaping him into a dangerous, intelligent and powerful wizard.
But when Britain re-establishes the Triwizard Tournament, and Harry, now known as Hadrian, is forced to return to his once-home, he finds himself questioning whether he really wants to kill the Dark Lord. Voldemort finds an unexpected challenge in the child, and as his intrigue and amusement grows, so too does the desire to possess the spark in those defiant green eyes.

Summary
One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.
Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.
On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.
It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.
Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’
Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.
‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’
He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.
And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.
Harry was done playing saviour.

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.
