Summary
Harry and Hermione are out of options. Voldemort has won, and they are no closer to finding his key to immortality. Feeling lost, Harry's only solace is the re-emergence of his soulmark and the man showing up in his dreams. Harry could never bring another person into his dangerous life, let alone his soulmate, but the man in his dreams will stop at nothing to bring them together.

Summary
“And my intended?” His lips pressed into a cold smile.
The catalyst of his failure and transformation; exponentially more important and far-reaching than mere shifts in status of his followers was, as always, Harry Potter.
The boy of prophecy, his fated vanquisher, the-boy-who-lived to be his Horcrux.
Or
At the Battle for the Department of Mysteries Voldemort discovers the unintended Horcrux slumbering inside of Harry Potter, hurling his carefully laid plans into disarray. But like a snake shedding its skin, Voldemort reinvents himself again.
A scant few months later, peace treaty negotiations culminate in a public ceremony binding his human Horcrux to him fourfold; by prophecy and blood and soul and magic.
It is when Harry’s gaze remains hollow as their blood soaks the delicate flowers of their handfasting chords and the hungry earth yawns below, Voldemort realizes he may have claimed a poisoned prize.

Summary
Harry takes a tentative step forward, bracing himself against a lamppost. His eyes sweep over the immaculate rows of houses, the stillness, the eerie silence of a neighbourhood that has always prided itself on perfection. It doesn’t take long for him to find the only thing worth coming back here for: a tiny thing crouched amongst the flowerbeds in the back garden of Number Four.
Green eyes far too large for his gaunt little face, unruly black hair sticking out in every direction, like something had nested in it and then given up halfway. Dirt smudged across tan skin. Glasses taped at the bridge and slipping down his nose with every breath. The utter embodiment of guilelessness.
Ten-year-old Harry Potter.
Harry watches in silence as the boy gently pats fresh soil over a tulip bulb with the care of someone desperate to get it right.
He remembers this day too well.
‧₊˚❀༉‧₊
In which Death refuses to let its master die with so many lingering regrets, and Harry Potter learns to love himself again… or at least, a version of himself.

Summary
Harry dies. And then he wakes back up- only, he's eleven again, and waiting to be sorted.
Except, it's not his sorting. He's found himself in 1971, and he has absolutely no idea what to do. He's friendless and wandless and the constant sight of his eleven-year-old parents and his parents' eleven-year-old friends walking around and laughing and being alive is not helping him feel any less alone.
But he's not alone. Because as it turns out, he's not the only one that's come back.
Far from it.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Snake by gonzoclock

Summary
What I wanted to write was a quick one-shot that explored the idea of Harry being the biological son of Voldemort, only Voldemort doesn't know he has a son and is also as evil as ever. Meanwhile, Harry is just a charismatic kid with a snake and ridiculously powerful magic.
It turned into a series rewrite.
Here's book one, I guess.
Features Harry Potter trying to keep his friends from doing crimes, a tired Remus Lupin spontaneously adopting a traumatized child with absurd magical capabilities, Severus Snape doing the bare minimum which is still somehow more than what Dumbledore is capable of, and Harry's friends' growing exasperation with Harry's terrible decision-making skills.

Summary
"Harry Potter is mine."
Voldemort took a graceful step forward, the air around him clinging close and darkening as if he had called the shadows to accompany him. "Mine to harm," he continued, his voice a soft. "Mine to conquer. Mine to defeat. Mine to torture. Mine... to kill."
Red eyes bore into green, staring intently as if peering into his very soul."And mine..." His magic brushed against Harry, nearly suffocating with its potency, choking him and binding him all at once, marking him for a fate he never wanted. "... to decide when to kill."
Harry returned from the graveyard to a world drunk on lies and fear only to be taken prisoner by Voldemort right from under Dumbledore's nose. One month wasting away in captivity left him empty, haunted by the deaths of those stolen from him.
Until everything changes, when Harry gains the Dark Lord's interest and is set free of his prison. When he is entered into an altogether different fight - one in which he must finally choose what he really wants.

Summary
Watching his parents' ex-friend attempt to resurrect a mass-murdering Dark Lord was not how Harry expected the Third Task to go.
He knows he has to think quickly and act quicker if he has any hope of surviving this year's confrontation, so Harry takes a risk. It's a potentially very dumb risk, but Peter is approaching him with a very sharp knife, and Harry knows he is running out of time.
Pro: He puts a stop to the Dark Lord's grand rebirth, and dies heroically as Peter kills him in a grief-fuelled rage.
Con: He doesn't put a stop to it, and dies slightly less heroically at the hand of an insane egomaniac. Said egomaniac goes on to rule the World. Or Britain.
The blade glints in the moonlight and Harry reckons if he's going to die either way; how much harm could a few words really do?

Summary
Harry Potter has just escaped the clutches of Lord Voldemort. The Wizarding World is ecstatic, Harry is more famous than ever (much to Snape’s annoyance), and Draco Malfoy can finally catch a break.
Things would be back to normal, if it wasn’t for Harry’s continued dreams with a certain Tom Riddle. A young and handsome man who’s more connected to Voldemort than Harry ever imagined. Tom Riddle is a fantasy that’s far more alluring than Harry would like to admit.
What happens when Voldemort tries to convince Harry to return to his side willingly? What happens when Harry tries to find some good in Tom Riddle and change him for the better? Who will give in first? Who will change forever? Surely, the Wizarding World will never be the same.

Summary
Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.
Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.
All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.

Summary
The fiasco that is Harry's life could be summed up in two words — Avada Kedavra. Those words have haunted him for as long as he can remember, endangering him with their very existence. He'd resigned himself to a life without a soulmate, to pain and sorrow... but then the Blacks happened. Or, one Black in particular.
Whose idea was it to let a Black woman invent time travel, anyway?

Summary
At eight years old, the strange splotch of color on Harry's arm transforms into a skull with a snake curled around it. That alone would be odd enough to make Harry a strange, freakish boy.
But then the snake begins to speak.
Following his soul mark's guidance, Harry abandons the world he grew up in for the new, fantastic world of magic. He imagines a future with his soulmate, one filled with wonderous magic, food and clothing aplenty, and, most importantly, a large, loving family.
He just needs to find his soulmate and have him get with the program. It can't be that hard, can it?

Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.
