    Summary

    After a disastrous second year, Harry decides that he no longer wishes to attend Hogwarts. He's been vilified for being a parselmouth, and Dumbledore doesn't seem particularly concerned about the students' safety - and that's not to mention Harry almost dying at the hands (or teeth!) of a basilisk. With neither Hogwarts nor Privet Drive as a safe haven, Harry takes off and disappears. What happens when the Golden Boy is finally found - and he's no longer a naïve, impressionable twelve-year-old seeking love and approval from others?

    Summary

    Not necessarily an ideal situation but I'm willing to try and find the positives. At least so I can have something pleasant to look forward to. Being Bella Swan was an unexpected challenge but, you know, it could have been worse. I could have been reborn into Twilight without knowing anything about anything and have to stumble my way through like Bella had!

    This was... fine.

    Summary

    “Harry Potter.”

    The cold burrowed into his flesh; the scent of cloying death and molding earth clogged his senses.

    “The Boy Who Lived.”

    A strange sense of unimaginable loss and disappointment rose inside of Harry. That brilliant, yet cruel boy could’ve been so much more if he’d not stepped down this bloodied path.

    Terrible, but great. He pitied this creature.

    “Come to die.”

    Harry Potter faced the flash of green light with the bravery of a Gryffindor and the broken heart of a Hufflepuff.


    When Death gives Harry a third option, one that can save everyone he ever cared about, he takes it unflinchingly. Even when that means doing the impossible: falling in love with the enemy, Tom Riddle.

    Summary

    In the grand scheme of things, one single person isn't much. They are a grain of sand in the vast desert, and they are lost without a trace, only to be briefly rediscovered when one looks at their family tree, or finds their gravestone hidden beneath the dirt and grass that cover it.

    But, for some unlucky people, the world seems to focus on their single grain, and gives them every bit of pain and suffering that it can.

    And for Harry Hartford, formerly known as Harry Potter, he is that grain of sand.

    But god, how he wished he wasn't.

    A retelling of the Harry Potter story which, while it generally hits the same story beats, falls off the wagon rather quickly. Where Harry grows up knowing he is loved, and he finds a new set of friends, and yet, at the same time, quickly learns that the world has it out for him for circumstances outside of his control.

    And because of that, he must find a way to survive without completely losing himself in the process.
