Summary
Harry Potter is being ignored by everyone who’s supposed to care, takes a fall off a ladder and wakes up in a hospital. With nowhere left to go and a deep mistrust of adult intervention, he escapes to London for a night where things, naturally, get worse. He’s got no plan, a bruised skull, and a wand he’s not allowed to use. What he does get is Severus Snape, pressed into reluctant babysitter duty by Dumbledore himself.

Summary
"You can take Daisy out to fetch the cloak-"
"How do you know that?"
Arthur closed his eyes, expression riddled with irritation before turning to look at Merlin expectantly.
"Know what?"
“The mare I use. You know I call her Daisy? I never told you that." Merlin explained. Arthur stared for a few moments. He could see the flicker of emotions pass easily over him. Anger, annoyance, exasperation, indignance, and finally acceptance...AKA the Five Stages of Grief (Pendragon Edition).
"You talk to the horse.” He pointed out. Merlin narrowed his eyes.
“I whisper to the horse."
"...am I supposed to not hear it?” Arthur asked. Merlin wondered how likely it would be that he also heard him whispering magical spells if he heard him murmuring to the bloody horse. “Also, only you would choose such a ridiculous name.” He muttered. Merlin swallowed. This wasn't a problem at all, right? Right.
Or
Merlin knows Arthur well. Better than he knew himself apparently. What he hadn't expected was for Arthur to know his servant just as well... This causes problems. (also known as "The Time Merlin Had a Mental Breakdown Over Arthur Being a Normal Human")

Summary
Gwaine scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, chin jutted out as he resolutely shook his head.
"No way. We can handle ourselves without Merlin for two days...Well, some of us can." He clicked his tongue with a nod towards the other three. Leon frowned.
"What are you trying to say?"
"That we didn’t grow up with servants," Elyan snorted "I know it’s a scary thought but...we can actually survive a hunt without Merlin’s stew." He said. Gwaine gasped in fake shock.
"We don’t need a servant," Arthur piped up immediately, chest puffing out in defiance "Hell, with how Merlin is, I’ve pretty much been without a servant for years!"
"Great!" Percival said and jerked his head "Then let’s go."
Or
The knights go on a hunt without a servant because Merlin is sick. Obviously it goes fantastic.

Summary
“Don’t you see, Harry? We’re the same, you and I,” Tom whispers softly, grabbing Harry’s wrist. Tom strokes the thin skin, causing Harry to look at him. If he could, Tom would pluck those eyes out so they wouldn’t look at anyone else.
“No, I don’t think so,” Harry protests. The boy’s eyes stray to the discarded stones, the stones Tom almost used to kill those children. Displeasure seers through him at the lack of attention. Tom taps his pulse point with his thumb, coaxing Harry’s eyes back to him.
“Of course we are, and we need each other.” It’s a lie, but it comes out more sincere than Tom ever imagined. Harry inclines his head, sizing up the truth of Tom’s declaration for himself.
“Okay, sure,” the boy decides suddenly.
Harry Potter was his.
Tom Riddle meets Harry Potter at Wool's Orphanage where he immediately becomes a thorn in his side. Upon the discovery that Harry was like him, Tom decides he cannot and will not let Harry go. Even Harry's endless complaints and inevitable devastation if he ever found out Tom's plans cannot stop him from pursuing political domination.

Summary
Three monumental things happened in 1990:
Firstly, Fleamont and Euphemia Potter put their foot down and forced their son James to marry a witch they approved of.
Secondly, Albus Dumbledore decided to try one last time to hire a Divination Professor.
Thirdly, a witch called Lily Evans developed a counter for the Imperius Curse.
But as far as Harry Evans was concerned, nearly two decades later and half a world away, none of these events had anything to do with his life. He was just trying to get by as an Ilvermorny graduate and single teen father in a dangerous world. He’s got bigger problems than magical civil wars on the other side of the planet.
Albus Dumbledore, however, would disagree. With the resurrection of the Dark Lord Voldemort, all eyes have turned to a prophecy predicting a wizard who would be the Dark Lord’s downfall. The nation’s hopes rested on James Potter’s son Nate, famous for surviving the unsurvivable and killing the Dark Lord as a baby seventeen years previously. But as the only person to have heard the full prophecy, Dumbledore was uncertain. And his search for the real savior keeps drawing him back to a little boy everyone assumed was a squib.

Summary
Harry gets hit by a killing curse and instead of dying travels to a different reality where he is the bratty husband of the Minister of Magic Tom Riddle. Harry realizes that his husband actually hates him and can barely tolerate his scandalous and petty behaviour and married him only for political connections with the Potter family. That's all good since he doesn't like Riddle either. Tom, on the other hand, is confused by his pureblood husband's new and strange behaviour.

Summary
Part One (OotP) complete.
Her remains exhumed as part of Voldemort's grotesque resurrection ritual, Lily Potter is inadvertently brought back to life by unknown magic. She is twenty-one, a widow, and mother to a rebellious teenage boy. Bafflingly, her ex-best friend, Severus Snape, is said to have worked tirelessly to protect her son over the years, yet wants nothing to do with her. For his part, Harry Potter, at first overjoyed to have his mother back alive, begins to chafe under her authority and worry she has feelings for the teacher he so despises.
Part Two (HBP + DH) in the works.
After a dramatic summer, Harry vows to focus on Dumbledore’s lessons, not his mother’s love life. Try as he might, he cannot ignore Snape’s increasingly suspicious behavior: covering for Malfoy, pathetically fawning over Lily, and pretending he doesn’t hate Harry. Lily throws herself into teaching and recruitment efforts but frets over Severus and his refusal to disclose the details of the burden Dumbledore has placed on his shoulders.

Summary
“A boy,” Pinako relays, twisting the baby this way and that. Healthy, as far as she can tell. And atrociously young. Not more than a week old. Maybe two. “Do you know his name?”
“The- the man didn’t say.” Trisha murmurs back to her, eyes still red and tea clutched in her hands, Pinako’s daughter in law settles in next to her, hand squeezing her arm. “He- he calls him Red apparently, for the blanket…”
Pinako hums and doesn’t say anything about it. (Handing a baby over with nothing but a red towel and a pet’s name- it's wrong. But mostly it's sad)
Dammnit Hohenheim- you really stepped in it now.

Ed and Al are half brothers- not that anyone ever bothered to tell them that.

Summary
Harry Potter has spent his life avoiding the fate society dictated for him—an omega born to marry well and secure his family’s legacy. But when his uncle’s debts threaten to ruin what little remains of their name, Harry is left with no choice but to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Unfortunately for him, the highest bidder isn’t a desperate noble or a fading aristocrat—it’s the king himself.
Tom Riddle is young, ruthless, and utterly unreadable. A war-forged ruler with a mind sharper than any blade, he has no need for a consort, let alone one as headstrong as Harry. But for reasons unknown, he names Harry as his future spouse, sealing their fates with a single command.
Forced into a marriage he never wanted, Harry refuses to be just another pretty pawn in Tom’s game. But as the king’s enigmatic gaze lingers and the bond between them tightens, Harry begins to wonder—did he trap himself in a gilded cage, or is there something more dangerous than a crown resting on his shoulders?
After all, resisting the king’s rule is one thing. Resisting the man himself? That’s another battle entirely.
