Favorite rewrites of the the original story
Primarily HGHP or HGSS stories that rewrite the original story timeline or a school year with a twist.
For HGHP fics Harry goes to Gringots and learns of his heritage or Someone is interjected into the story that alters Harry’s perspective or Enemies become allies or Adults acting like responsible adults.
Also these are generally not No More Dursleys type stories but rather stories that end the War early and/or expose Albus Dumbledore as a manipulative chess master.
For HGSS fics the pairing chose to or is forced to work together during 5th or 6th year with a primary focus on ending the war but they eventually lead to HEA.
