648Harry Potter and the Time of Retirement » by
0rigami
When someone is unsatisfied of his present, time travel may be attractive. But would an old Harry really be interested in reliving his school years with all those annoying school kids, classes and dark lords? Probably not - but sometimes you don't have a choice. No Slash - no clichès (beside time travel itself) - maybe no romance at all.

136Life After Death » by
birdwoman95
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*
