Summary
When Harry arrives in Kings Cross after Voldemort hits him with the killing curse, he means to go back like the good soldier he is. But as he's waiting for the station to fade away, he sees...himself? standing on the platform waiting to board the train. The next thing he knows, Draco Malfoy is waking him up and yelling about recreational drug use.
Haz just wanted to push the limit a little bit. It's Pensieve Potion, no one's ever overdosed on it before... no one he's heard of at least. The next thing he knows Draco's absolute babe of a mom is waking him up and asking him weird questions, while some noseless douche monologues about world domination. Holy shit, is that supposed to be Voldemort?
Or: the one where Harry travels to an alternate dimension and swaps place with a very different version of himself. He'll get back to saving the world eventually, he just needs to figure out what this version of Draco Malfoy is up to first.

Summary
Harry Potter died at 22—not in battle, but drowning in grief after losing everyone he'd ever loved. When Death offered him a second chance in a world where his greatest losses never happened, he took it.
Reborn as Hadrian Evans with the hard-won wisdom of someone who's survived the unthinkable, he finds himself in a reality where the people he failed to save are alive and thriving. Where he's nobody special, and for the first time in any life, free to choose who he wants to become.
But knowledge is both gift and burden. This time, he's determined to do better—to save the ones who matter, to heal instead of just survive, and maybe finally discover what it means to truly live.A story of second chances, chosen family, and the revolutionary idea that sometimes the greatest heroism is learning how to be happy.

Summary
The story of the Marauders is a sad one, with betrayal turning their lives to ashes; we all know the tale. But what if someone had unmasked Peter Pettigrew just in time to prevent the events of Halloween 1981 from happening? Could James, Lily, Sirius and Remus find a happy ending if only that one night was erased from their stories?
----
Non-canon compliment fic based off of atyd, so it contains parallels to MKB89's fic as well as some original characters from that same work. Events from Harry's life still somewhat take place towards the end, but with a few adjustments and some major changes (as in people don't die) AKA THIS IS AN ALL THE YOUNG DUDES FIX IT FIC from october 1981 = everybody lives <3

Summary
In December 1977, Regulus Black did something brave. He ran.
With nothing but a wand he couldn’t use, a bag of money, and a desperate hope for survival, Regulus escaped into the muggle world mere days before his Death Eater initiation.
Against all odds, he’s taken in by three muggle artists who live loudly and love fiercely. Through them, Regulus discovers the strange, wild magic of acting. And he’s good at it. Too good.
***
Six years later, Sirius and James walk into a London cinema and see Regulus’s face, six feet tall, staring back at them from the screen.

Summary
When they were young, Sirius had always poked fun at Regulus' name for being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naturally, Regulus strived to defy the odds of his namesake; but in a Gryffindor-esque, impulsive act of bravery, Regulus turned the tides of the Marauder's story. Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.
Or, an alternate universe where Regulus makes a split-second decision to run away with Sirius and changes the course of everyone’s future.

step into the daylight and let it go by serendipitysirius

Summary
James Potter loved Lily Evans from the moment he knew what it truly was to love anybody. But, in the end, it didn’t matter that James had declared that he would never love anyone else but Lily. Because he still lost her.
One year on from Halloween 1981, James is struggling to raise Harry alone whilst drowning in an impenetrable dark sea of grief, determined to never love again. Because, in his experience, to love, is to lose.
Luckily, Regulus Black knows quite a lot about loving and losing. And drowning, too, considering the fact that he survived the cave in 1979 and faked his death for two years, popping in to give Sirius the fright of his life on Halloween.
And, consequently, showing up just in time for the events that followed. The shattered remnants of people that the war left behind.
Maybe Regulus will be able to show James that it’s okay to extinguish the first love flame, whilst simultaneously giving him the parenting help he is too ashamed to ask for. And, in return, maybe James will manage to convince Regulus that love isn’t something you earn, something that always has a catch.
Maybe they just needed one another all along, to take that step into the daylight.

Summary
There is a world where a prophecy goes unheard. A world where a boy is never orphaned, where he grows up safe and loved, rather than in a cupboard under the stairs.
But in that world, Harry Potter died in 1991—killed in what became known as the Hogwarts Express Massacre, along with every child who was supposed to attend Hogwarts that year. The war did not end, but it shifted, forcing both sides to set aside their differences against two common enemies: Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore.
Seven years later, during a memorial for the children lost that day, the dead return. But not as ghosts. They are flesh and blood. They are seven years older and ripped from a world that's only just beginning to recover from its own war.
And the families who mourned them must now face the mirrors of the children they lost—and the strangers they’ve become.
