Before she dies, he was thinking of her. Ever since they met, all he could think about was her. Now, she is gone, and his thoughts go with her.

A potion gone wrong, a spell cast as a prank, and Harry's bad luck. Mix these three things together, and you have a recipe for untold disasters to occur. Featuring Snarky-but-Good!Draco, Independent!Harry, Sarcastic!Snape, Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Molly, and McGonagall bashing! Also, high potential for Evil!Dumbledore, but also Evil!Voldemort. No pairings at the moment.

When Harry gets in an argument with his friends, Hogwarts thinks it's high time she took matters into her own hands. Harry begins his training in the ancient and noble art of Alchemy, and begins to break free of the manipulations placed on him. A manipulative Dumbledore and an independent Harry clash, and Harry must struggle to escape the machinations of Fate.

Manipulative Dumbledore? Check. Evil Voldemort? Check. Manipulated Dumbledore? Check. Nothing is true. Anything is possible. And Harry will have to fight for his life as he and his friends unravel a web of lies and manipulations, culminating in the ultimate battle.

Voldemort - and let's face it, Dumbledore too - made some pretty convoluted plans. Here are my thoughts on how their plans could have backfired on them spectacularly. Obviously AU.

When a cunning bit of treachery by Hades incapacitates Zeus just before the next Game of Fates is played, Hera calls upon Harry to take Zeus' place to protect everyone and everything he holds dear. But treachery is always just around the corner, especially when the God of the Underworld is playing...

When Harry first heard of the magical world, he didn't expect it to be real. But now he finds even more truths about himself, and must deal with enemies both obvious and hidden. Balancing Hogwarts and interspecies politics is never going to be easy, but can he even survive? AU as of the trip to Diagon Alley. Crossover with pretty much every Final Fantasy game ever.

When Dolores Umbridge takes over Hogwarts, the students - and even some of the staff - aren't going to take it lying down. A prank war of epic proportions ensues, but who will be left standing at the end? AU from the end of fourth year, Cedric is alive.

Firenze and Harry team up to try and prevent Voldemort's return to power. Along the way, they will have to navigate the Ministry of Magic's laws, ancient magical artifacts, and the most treacherous of all, teenage life. Is their determination strong enough, or will their resolve be broken?

During Harry's first Occlumency lesson, Severus Snape gets an unexpected and entirely unwelcome surprise.

Why did I do this? Because I enjoy torturing myself, I think. Join me, as I mock, bash, and tear apart Tara Gilesbie's 'My Immortal'. Remember: we're the only commentary that gives you a free industrial size bottle of brain bleach on your first visit. And trust me, you're going to need every last drop.

A far more cunning Harry, who is ready to accept and embrace his Slytherin side -with mild kleptomaniacal tendencies- deals with the Department of Mysteries incident, and begins to prepare Britain for war. After all, no one said humans were the only ones with something at stake in this war, did they? Featuring Dumbledore being Dumbledore, Snape being Snape, and Luna being Luna. AU.

My attempt at the twin!Harry/wrong-boy-who-lived category. Does not contain abuse, there will be some unintentional favouritism, but not much. Dumbledore is misguided, but whether good or evil, only time will tell. Harry will not be evil, but he will be more powerful than in canon. Oh yes, in case it wasn't obvious, this is an AU.
