Summary
Clarke's Second Law: “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.”
Harry Potter was a boy-savior who was raised to leave the saving people to the adults. Petunia Evans was a genius inventor and single parent of two boys, one of whom happened to be the Boy-Who-Lived. Severus Snape was a potions professor with mage sight who was progressively becoming more concerned about his student's curse scar and at the same time getting quite close with said student's aunt. Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin student from a dark family with conflicting feelings about his family loyalty and a certain chaotic roommate.

Summary
Clarke’ First Law: “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”
Severus Snape had a short list of likes: inventing potions, inventing spells, elf-made wine, and causing his robes to billow behind him dramatically. He had a very long list of dislikes. At the top of the list were children and James Potter. He found it to be quite impossible that he would ever find value in anything that combined his two greatest dislikes. Which was what made it so strange that he found himself purposefully seeking out the child of James Potter.

Summary
In canon, it took fourty years in hell to break Dean Winchester. So in a universe where time is no different in Hell than on Earth, what would happen?
At age sixteen, Dean sells his soul to bring his brother back to life, and by age nineteen he is dead and in Hell. Dean’s days are filled with nothing but torture until a blue eyed man claiming to be an angel shows up and attempts to rescue him. True to Winchester fortune, the rescue mission is a bust, but instead of killing the angel, the demons lock him in a cell with Dean. Although initially wary of trusting any supernatural being, Dean finds himself drawn to the angel. That is, until Castiel returns from a demon-led field trip acting decidedly less trustworthy.
When some of the lower choir angels discover the righteous man is in Hell, Raphael sends in one garrison as cannon-fodder to buy time, and warns the demons that they better break the first seal soon. Nevertheless, Raphael is surprised when he receives word back asking him to discuss a plan for the righteous man which will require angelic resources.

Summary
Harry Potter is Voldemort’s horcrux. This doesn’t really impact his life until the first time he meets Voldemort face-to-face. Well, face-to-back-of-Quirrell’s-head-face.
Harry learns he can burn Quirrell’s skin with his bare hands. He knows this is his only opportunity to both survive and save the Philosopher’s Stone. What he doesn’t realise is that by willingly placing his hands on Voldemort’s wraith’s host, he opens himself up to possession.
It isn’t Voldemort’s first choice to possess his fated vanquisher while still weak, but a key magical principle is “like calls to like”. He will do whatever it takes to get his body back… and own Harry Potter afterwards.
What happens during Harry’s school years while unknowingly pulling Voldemort along as a passenger?

Summary
The second time Voldemort strikes Harry Potter with the Killing Curse, it fails in a new way.
This time, instead of ending a life, it creates one.
—The eyes are Harry’s, obviously. The texture, the wildness of the jet-black hair, that’s Harry’s, too. A trait from Lily, a trait from James.
But the rest… The shape of the face, the nose, the mouth… The more Harry looks at the boy’s sleeping face, the more he sees Tom Riddle in miniature.
A trait from Lily, a trait from James…
And the rest from their murderer.

Summary
Total canon rewrite with a Slytherin Harry Potter that has the Boy Who Lived dropping the rose colored glasses from the start, and collecting friends from all houses as he strives to surivie and flourish within the magic world as he possesses a broken sort of magic that changes things more than before.
(Because Harry being a Horcrux really should have done more than give him the abilty to speak Parsteltongue and look into Voldermort’s mind since the other Horcruxes like the locket, dairy, and ring did)
Arthurian legends get mixed in at book 4 because I couldn't help myself.- Words:
