Everybody Else Is Doing It »
This is the "bits and bobs" stuff from my hard drive. It's mostly complete stuff, just I wasn't satisfied with it or thought it should be fleshed out. I present it to anyone who wants to read it. WARNING. Some of these will not look fondly on characters you know and love. In one particular chapter, there is a major character death. Rating is for that chapter in particular.Harry Potter, M, English, chapters: 17, words: 40k+, favs: 393, follows: 379, updated: 17h published: 1/30/2018
665Life After Death »
The summer before Harry's third year, the Dursleys are not so forgiving about what happened with the cake drop. Vernon was punished at work for that, and he's a big believer in paying bad fortune forward. This is the fallout. Rated T for slightly above canon-level child abuse and character death. Slow burn; pairing mostly implied. No beta. *WIP*Harry Potter, T, English, chapters: 18, words: 133k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 1k+, updated: 3/9 published: 8/26/2023, [Harry P., Hermione G.]
353 Punxsutawney revisited »
YATTF... but with a twist. It's time travel, but not really. It's the outcome of time travel. Because, you know, it's got to be a little confusing... Rating is for hinted lemon. Book timeline, but not canon. EWE.Harry Potter, M, English, Drama & Romance, chapters: 7, words: 39k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 600, updated: 6/6/2023 published: 4/23/2023, [Harry P., Hermione G.]
37 Up In Smoke
This is a series of vignettes that are connected (same AU) that used to be in the Everybody Else catch it file. I've had a number of ppl ask me to pull them out and put in a story. So here you go.Harry Potter, T, English, words: 12k+, favs: 166, follows: 83, 6/4/2023
446 Kiss of Life »
He was their boy hero. How would they feel if he were kissed by dementors, even when they were buying the whole Boy Who Was Crazy schtick? Just how big would the fall out be? Rated M for language and situations.Harry Potter, M, English, chapters: 13, words: 70k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 710, updated: 6/7/2022 published: 5/18/2022, [Harry P., Hermione G.]
378 A Growing Understanding »
AU starting end of Fifth year. Hermione was hurt a bit more by Dolohov's curse, and Harry needs to do something to fix it. It all goes off the rails from there. Tropes galore, I'm terribly mean to several characters I don't like (i.e. most adults and the youngest Weasleys)Harry Potter, M, English, Adventure & Romance, chapters: 11, words: 64k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 616, updated: 2/3/2021 published: 1/29/2021, Harry P., Hermione G.
68 Nomenclature
What's in a name? If Harry Potter isn't... how did he get that way? What could it mean for him? Started out with this concept, but the muse made it a bit more... terrible summary. Sorry. Rating because I think I may have used a cuss word?Harry Potter, T, English, words: 11k+, favs: 529, follows: 179, 6/9/2020
124 The Sound Of Silence
Harry's treatment at the Dursleys didn't make him – it broke him. At Hogwarts, broken children make their way to the home of the badgers. No one protects like a badger. The outcome? Heads fly. This is the trial of Albus Dumbledore. Rating due to child abuse mentions. Format is weird.Harry Potter, M, English, Crime, words: 8k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 443, 10/3/2016
213 Backward Without Purpose
A re-do story full of cliches and cussing. I dislike the Weasley family in general and Ron in specific, so you may want to pass if he's your hero. Adult, Auror Harry is thrown back to his 10 year old body. What does he do? Kick @ and take names, of course. Rating is for the recounting of crimes by a Very Bad Man.Harry Potter, M, English, words: 18k+, favs: 2k+, follows: 649, 6/28/2016
68 A Four Book Series
I always believed that the series would have been well-served by ending at GoF. For me, it changes completely after that. Anyhow, this is my quickly written, unbeta'd triwiz conclusion. No pairings, no bashings, slightly OOC, slightly AU.Harry Potter, K, English, Adventure, words: 2k+, favs: 258, follows: 77, 4/26/2016, Harry P., Cedric D.
337 A Tale of a Tail »
An AU kicking off mostly from where Hagrid picks up Harry, though he's very AU. Some OC, but mostly just independent Harry. No pairings. Rating for some languageish things. Writing is complete, but will add one chapter a week, when I remember to (only 5 or 6 long, can't remember which).Harry Potter, T, English, chapters: 6, words: 62k+, favs: 1k+, follows: 503, updated: 1/9/2016 published: 12/5/2015
170 Don't Get Mad Get Apathetic
What if, in fifth year, Harry did just that? An independent Harry story with some OOC, no real bashing, but not a big fan of some of the big players. No pairings. Rating for some curse words. First attempt at publishing on this site... we'll see.Harry Potter, T, English, Adventure, words: 23k+, favs: 2k+, follows: 775, 11/28/2015
