Summary
After the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Harry is alone and struggling to find a way to hang on to his sanity when an unexpected boon walks into his house and kidnaps him to Gringotts. The Most Noble House of Nott is attacked and Theodore is left with nothing but ashes, a single gemstone, and the burning fire of something bigger than himself lodged forever in his soul. Lucius Malfoy suffers a momentary lapse in sanity and raises his wand against the Dark Lord. The lines between light and dark, good and evil, blur together and disappear entirely. All the while, Harry goes searching for who "Just Harry" is and keeps coming back to a dark-eyed Slytherin he never thought he'd call his friend...

Edit 6/23/26: Read up to Chapter 34. Enjoying this - happy there’s no bashing but Ron and Hermione are still irritating lol. But in a believable way, as they are children who don’t know everything Harry does. And that scene with Ron and Neville shook me to my boots. First, because it gave Ron more understanding as to his behaviors but also what Neville revealed!! The connections!! Hope Hermione gets a scene like that too maybe? And the collaboration between the coven?!? The dialogue is great, the prose is great. Looking forward to more.

Summary
Christmas 1979—danger, secrets, lies and their shared history looms large over the Blacks' first Yuletide season as a reunited family. While life as a fugitive proves bleaker (and more boring) than Regulus could have imagined, a botched espionage mission at Malfoy Manor draws Sirius deeper into the Black family web—and his cousin Narcissa's social set.
Meanwhile, Walburga hatches a daring scheme to restore her wild firstborn's damaged reputation in the family—finding him a suitable bride—while Orion grapples with the past, and the high price his two sons have paid for his inaction.
[Regulus Black Lives/Black Family Witness Protection AU. The continuing story of how Regulus stealing part of Voldemort's soul brings a broken, dysfunctional family together]

Summary
The best day of Harry Potter’s life was the day Potion Master Severus Snape found him bruised and broken in an abandoned corridor, the first day of term, and recognised him as his Omega.
For the rest of magical Britain, that day was the beginning of the end of the world like they knew it.
This is the world and characters of J. K. Rowling. I'm just borrowing it. No money is being made.

Summary
A world with no Dursleys was a world Harry Potter was bound and determined to stay in. To do that, Harry Potter wanted to be great. To have every opportunity the wizarding world could offer. So, he used the Restricted Section. He learned. He studied with Hermione, made friends, and did his best to have a normal, happy childhood. Anything so he would never have to go back.
But when a troll was released his first year, when he was betrayed in the Chamber of Secrets by Lockhart, and when every adult in his life failed him, that was when Harry and his friends knew the adults couldn't be trusted. They'd been burned one too many times. Then, when Voldemort returned, they had no reason to believe that would change. Harry and his friends would survive.
History was filled with great wizards of distinct moral alignment: Voldemort, Grindelwald, Herpo the Foul; even Merlin walked a dubious line. No one with purely good intentions would expand their power so outrageously. Harry hoped he could be the first. Because he knew if he was going to stop Voldemort and protect his friends, he needed to inherit that legacy of power.
Harry Potter was hungry for control.

(Read up to Chapter 46, unfinished.) Love love love this so far. Very interesting take on Harry’s heritage and how that affects his behaviors. Love that Sirius and Remus are trying to be good people, even Snape somewhat. Harry’s dedication and drive is so refreshing to read, and the Drarry is nice.

(Read up to Chapter 36. Unfinished but ongoing.) The magical theory in this one is very unique, especially the takes on necromancy, death, and divination. And I still have beef with Petri but I’m glad Harry has some sort of mentor?
