Summary
This will be a series of rewrites of classic literature but with Harry Potter characters. This is a bit of a passion project of mine and will contain a lot of my favourite stories with a variety of pairings. While I have a plan for some of the stories I will rewrite I am open to suggestions if there is anything you want to read.
These stories are all stand alones and can be read in any order.

Summary
Harry kills his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the end of 1st year. Somehow, this leads to him traveling through time to the year 1971 and being dropped, alone, into an abandoned house in Cokeworth. He has only himself to rely on, as always, but there is a silver lining: he gets to meet a younger version of his mother, who is apparently best friends with a young Professor Snape. Unbelievable.
Featuring: Everybody's childhood trauma, a lot of pining, and hopefully, eventually, a happy ending :)

Summary
Students flood King's Cross Station to board the Hogwarts Express to school on 1 September like every other year since 993 AD. It is an expected and anticipated moment in wizarding Britain, just as the boost in sales across all retail places, but especially those on Diagon Alley, spikes hugely every August. This year, however, something has changed, and several students approached the barrier between Platforms 9 and 10 to begin the 1975-76 school year, only to arrive on the platform twenty years in the future.
How will they manage to find a place for themselves in a world in which they are already adults, perhaps working somewhere, perhaps already dead, their passing long since mourned? And how will the world they've entered welcome a group of Doppelgängers and ghosts?
Here is a playlist for the fic, and you'll likely see a lot of similarities between the songs in it and the referenced material in the work.

Summary
Following the disastrous Third Task, Harry begins to notice two things about himself. First: his appearance has begun to change. Second: something is very, very wrong. The Cruciatus shouldn't continue to be causing him pain this far out from having received it, should it?

Summary
The attack at Godric’s Hollow didn’t kill Harry Potter, but it left him with a permanent spinal cord injury. While the Wizarding World celebrated, the Potters faced a harsh new reality. Unable to cope with the demands of raising a paraplegic son, James Potter abandons his family, leaving Lily to pick up the pieces.
She finds unexpected support in Severus Snape, who steps in to provide the medical care, structure, and fatherly love Harry desperately needs. This story follows Harry’s childhood as he navigates a magical world ill-equipped for wheelchairs, preparing for Hogwarts not as the Boy Who Lived, but as a determined boy who must fight for his dignity and his place in a world built for those who can walk.
