Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
Magic will follow intent. He has been told that in every class, every year, since he first stepped foot in Hogwarts. No spell, no potion—nothing will work unless your intent is clear and your mind is focused. And he knows it’s true, it's why he once found himself on the roof of his school while attempting to escape certain pain and broken bones. Or why, even earlier, when faced with another adult being willfully ignorant of his signs abuse, he turned the woman’s hair a shocking blue.
This foundational rule of magic was ingrained into him when he summoned Prongs to save Sirius and himself from the Dementors. Magic will follow intent. So he’s not really surprised to find himself here once again—on the precipice of highly improbable, though not impossible, magic. After all, he is “The Boy Who Lived.” So he’ll figure out a way to live through this like he always does, because Harry Potter always perseveres—even if he can’t be “Harry Potter” anymore, and it’s 1974, and Voldemort is at the height of his power, and Severus Snape has, weirdly enough, really pretty eyes.
“Yeah,” Harry thought as he attempted to ignore that last bit his mind unhelpfully added on, “I can do this.”

Summary
Harry Potter is adopted by a retired chemistry professor causing him to become an accidental potions prodigy. Navigating the world of wizards with a strong home base allows Harry to ask important questions like, 'why don't we learn math?' and 'why hasn't everyone read Hogwarts: A History?' and most importantly, 'Why does everyone treat squibs so terribly?"
____"What would have happened if I didn't bounce? Might've died, I suppose."

Summary
“Harry James Potter. Since your darkness cannot be contained even by the foulest of creatures or craftiest of devices, under the Wizarding Unity and Prosperity Protection Act, you are hereby sentenced to death. You will be cast into the veil. May this sacrifice protect our unity.” He heard Minister Granger say. How weird it was to hear her speak words. He was used to her screams in his mind.
~~~
“So the world is beyond saving, huh? Once upon a time, I was a boy that would have asked how to fix that.” Harry said nonchalantly. “But the man that died today doesn’t give a fuck.”
“I know asteraki mou, that’s why you’ll be perfect. The world does not need a savior, it needs a reaper.” Hades replied with a feral grin.
~~~
Or the one where Harry goes back in time, but not to fix things.

Summary
There are many moments in our lives that add up to define who we become, and some things that we simply are with or without any choice in the matter. Getting to Platform 9 3/4 by himself and finding a toad roaming the train, one small moment among thousands, really should not matter all that much in the grand scheme of things… Except it does.
—-
Or, Harry never meets Ron on the the train to Hogwarts and goes to Slytherin instead. This changes everything that it can.

Summary
Harry Potter is a troubled teen, and that is not a great mystery to those who meet him. But he's the Golden Boy, the Saviour, so it would seem that such a person cannot reach a breaking point, right? Harry can always deal with difficult situations, isn't that true? Of course, Albus Dumbledore is not happy about Harry's recent behaviour, but he's not overly concerned. He believes that a little scolding (preferably coming from someone other than Albus) will do everything that's to be done. And if Harry is not happy with Albus at the moment, it's surely a matter of proper conversation. Isn't it?
What Albus doesn't know is that only one thing of the above is true in the case of Harry: he can always deal with difficult situations. So when Harry quietly breaks and falls into pieces, his downfall starts unnoticed, and the problems go wild, Harry finds a way to deal with the problem.
Just completely different than Albus would imagine.
Harry finds refuge in the care of the ancient vampire, under the wings of Immortals, and gets himself into more trouble, even though he thinks Harry Potter's problems are a thing of the past.

Summary
Harry Potter really didn’t plan on living past his fated confrontation with Lord Voldemort. When the latent basilisk venom and phoenix tears in his blood started making dramatic changes to his body, he wasn’t that concerned. It’s not like he was going to live long enough for it to be a problem anyway.
Even if he had planned to live past the final battle, then he could never have guessed the struggle awaiting him on the other side, or that he’d become a magnet for those with nowhere else to go like the snarky house elf, the grumpy phoenix, the injured vampire, or the stray werewolf that showed up on their doorstep…oh, and the egg. You can’t forget the egg; that’s the most important, more than anyone or anything else on the planet. Harry will do whatever it takes…literally whatever, even light the fire and watch the world burn, all for the sake of the egg.

Heart pounding, he hid in the shrubs next to the old retaining wall that was his closest hiding place. When the starving dog across the way darted into his arms as aurors arrived, what else could Harry do but wrap them both up in his invisibility cloak?
