Great premise with a confident and powerful Harry who refuses to play by the rules anymore. Brutal. However, some storylines are a bit wild or unnecessary for me (Ron conflict). Still makes it to the favorites.

Summary (Spoilers!):
Blood Feud by Thek1llerRabb1t
After thwarting an assassination attempt by his Slytherin dorm mates, Harry utilizes his status as the newly emancipated Lord Potter-Black to declare the forbidden ancient law of Blood Feud against five prominent Pureblood families, leading to duels where he systematically eliminates the Death Eater patriarchs and their sons, culminating in the unique resolution of the long-standing Weasley-Malfoy feud by granting Arthur Weasley the honor of executing Lucius Malfoy, which consequently elevates the Weasley family back into the prestigious Sacred 28 families.
Dumbledore has failed the uncontrollable Harry, now tries to build trust with him, and introduces him to Gellert Grindelwald. Harry learns that Dumbledore is terminally ill from a Withering Curse contracted while destroying a Horcrux, and together they hunt the final soul anchors, leading Harry to retrieve and eventually unite all three Deathly Hallows (the Cloak, Resurrection Stone, and Elder Wand), surrendering them directly to Death (personified as the teenage girl "Dee") after realizing their corrupting influence.
Following Voldemort's demise and a deal with Fate, Harry enforces several drastic, unique resolutions: he burns Malfoy Manor to the ground to deny the Dark Lord a base, captures Bellatrix Lestrange, subjects her to a complete mind-wipe, and places her in a muggle asylum, and most strikingly, kidnaps her newborn daughter (Voldemort's heir) to perform a blood ritual naming her Delphine Peverell and ensures Narcissa adopts her, before Harry ultimately accepts a new, lonely destiny as Death's "ferryman," traveling the world to eliminate those who attempt to cheat the final destination, wielding the Hallows which Dee returned to him as part of their pact.

First I thought the premise might be lame and trauma-dumpingly cringe, but this is really well written, insanely funny and hot at the same time. Favorite. Who thought therapy could be so much fun?

Bookmarker's Notes
This probably is the best 'reading Harry Potter' fic I read so far. The shock about Harry's abuse by the Dursleys is not a main focus (which makes other fics seem like a "poor Harry" reaction story). The reading has real world consequences before it is even finished (Fudge gets murdered for example). There is also the interesting mystery of how the books came into existence: Rowling exist as a Muggle in these books from the future and Voldemort tries to take her out.
The third book became less interesting and I only skimmed over it because the pacing could be better, but I will definitely revisit this fic when it's finished!
__
Summary (Spoilers!):
Book 1:
When Dolores Umbridge discovers a set of seven prophetic books about Harry Potter in the Room of Requirement and reads Philosopher’s Stone aloud to the school, the revelations—including Harry’s abuse by the Dursleys, Dumbledore’s role in abandoning him there, and Quirrell’s possession by Voldemort—spark a political firestorm, leading to Dumbledore’s flight from arrest and Umbridge’s own downfall when Amelia Bones intervenes to grant Harry and his allies legal immunity.The books’ accuracy forces the staff to confront their past failures, with McGonagall and Snape deducing they originate from a future closed time loop (possibly involving Harry himself), while Harry strategically embraces the readings to preemptively expose Voldemort’s return and clear Sirius Black’s name. The climax reveals the Ministry’s corruption under Fudge, as Umbridge’s attempt to suppress the truth backfires when Harry produces his own copy of the book, forcing Bones to dismantle the charges against Dumbledore and Hagrid—while also exposing the staff’s incompetence (like Quirrell’s unchecked possession) and setting the stage for future readings to be weaponized as both a political and wartime tool.
Book 2:
Harry actively pushes for the public reading of Chamber of Secrets to expose Lucius Malfoy’s crimes, and the revelations (including Dobby’s warnings, Malfoy slipping Riddle’s diary to Ginny, and the Basilisk attacks) force McGonagall (now interim headmistress) to fire Filch for child endangerment and admit Dumbledore’s desperate hiring of Lockhart, while the staff grapple with their past negligence in the original timeline.The book’s details about Polyjuice Potion, Hermione’s research, and Harry’s duel with the Basilisk (and destruction of the Horcrux-diary) not only vindicate the trio’s actions but also lead to the suspension of their Occlumency lessons, as the staff now believe the books will accelerate the war’s end. Lucius Malfoy’s legal jeopardy grows as the public reading provides circumstantial evidence of his involvement, though his political connections delay his arrest—while the staff privately realize the books’ strategic value, using them to preempt future threats like the D.A.’s exposure or Kreacher’s betrayal before they occur.

Summary
It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse.

Bookmarker's Notes
I actually really liked this story and the details and creative ideas that paint this new street muggle world Harry inhabits. The main reason this won‘t be tagged as a favorite is that the story ends too quickly and without resolve, although the story only needed about 3-5 more chapters to come to a wellrounded conclusion. Just as Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Blaise join the couple, things got interesting to me, but that that is where the story almost ends. A little disappointing.
Summary (Spoilers!):
Endrina - Life skills outside the curriculum
Harry runs away from the Dursleys at the age of ten, choosing to survive on the streets of London rather than return to Privet Drive. Dumbledore and the Order are unable to locate him for years because Harry’s unique "instinct magic" and intent-based protections shield him from magical tracking.
While living in abandoned buildings and working odd jobs, Harry develops wandless abilities, such as drawing protective circles and using a metal awl as a focus to unlock doors. Remus eventually manages to catch a glimpse of him after using muggle sketches and street informants to narrow down his location. When a street youth is murdered, Harry uses his power to mentally overwhelm the rapist-killer and uses something similar to a wandless Imperio curse to force a public confession at Scotland Yard.
Years later, Draco runs away from his family and the Wizarding War, encountering Harry on the streets of London and eventually moving into a squat with him. The two form a deep bond, with Draco teaching Harry formal magical theory while Harry teaches Draco how to survive as a muggle. Their hiding ends when they are captured by Greyback and taken to Malfoy Manor, where Harry is subjected to torture before Voldemort. Draco identifies Harry to the group to stop the torture, and Harry then punches Voldemort with fiery hands covered by his mother's protection before the two flee to the residence of Sirius.
Harry refuses Dumbledore’s offer to attend Hogwarts after hearing that it was him who placed Harry with the Dursleys. and instead stays in London, where he is joined by Ron, Hermione, and several other students who leave the school to support him. This group, known as the "Missing Seven," hunts Voldemort's Horcruxes by blending magical expertise with unconventional street tactics and muggle resources. Harry later removes the magical fragment from his own scar at the river Lea and returns to live with his friends in London.
