There is more to Walburga Black than a screaming portrait.

Tony references Doctor Who compulsively. Also, Bruce needs pants. And Steve's best friend in the 21st century is a Dalek. Other than that, it's your basic team coming together fic.

Harry Potter had never really managed a normal, peaceful Halloween, so he really shouldn't have been surprised when he was suddenly displaced from the grocery store and found himself in front of a maniacally cackling man in a very dramatic outfit.

Challenge: Secretly, all of Tony's kitchen appliences are AI's, they're just a little scared of the other Avengers. But the moment Tony enters the room...'WHAT ARE YOU DOING'

When Sherlock is called out to investigate a strange murder, the suspect is nothing like what he expected. Who is this strange man with no name, why would he kill an innocent young woman, and just who is he hiding from? 10th doctor whump.

Two-Shot. His mother is gone. His uncle is missing. And Zuko runs for his very life.

The Doctor loves surprises. Harry Potter is the only wizard with the Vortex in his blood. Someone gets implicated in intelligent design.

I thought the dull aching was something other than my demise. As it turned out, I was sorely mistaken. Perhaps I should listen to Alphonse more; maybe then there wouldn't be another bloody tragedy that would, inevitably, end it all. For good.

warning: NOT BEATAED What if Tom Riddle Sr. had raised Tom? Would he still grow up to be Voldemort?

Massively AU. Assume nothing. Harry Potter is born into a very different world than the one in canon. A world where the Greats of history walk among mere men. A world where power is all that matters, and young Harry Potter is a commodity desired by many.

The use of memory altering spells is common in the HP books. Protecting their secrecy comes before everything else, and justifies any action. Or so they believe.

Snape's Occlumency lessons have shattered the last defences of Harry's mind. Now, completely unprotected, his dreams have become home to a nightmare other than Voldemort. A nightmare that has taken on a life of its own.

One-shot HP/DM - Fairly cliché setup - a potions accident involving Harry and Draco leads startling personal revelations and happy snogging-times. Slightly AU 5th year.

In the station between Life and Death Harry makes a different choice. Now he is eleven again, nothing is going the same as before, and people are starting to ask questions, especially the Malfoys, the Hogwarts professors and, most worryingly, Mad-Eye Moody. Harry is beginning to suspect that he might not be up to this Master of Death business and everything that goes along with it.

One Shot. Alice is just a name, and Luna is a just a figment. This is Underland after all. Rebirth shouldn't come as a surprise.

"Artemis Fowl had retired half a dozen counselors from St. Barleby's already this year." Here's how. Six chapters, one for each psychologist losin' it.'

Highly AU. Mr. Harry Potter is age eleven, and the possibilities for his future are endless. The magic system of Harry Potter has essentially been turned on its head.

After waking up on an alternate Earth Harry is tested and experimented on. They tried to turn him into a weapon. But he was no ones weapon. Not anymore. Where does he fit in this new world where things and people are a bit more...ultimate. HP/Marvel xover

An ongoing series of one shot stories exploring how Slytherin!Harry would have handled key moments from the books. Events will appear out of order, so don't be surprised if it jumps around. Small but important edit made to Chapter Five

Harry Potter doesn't actually like Quidditch. A oneshot character study.

It is the greatest threat the world of magic has ever faced. It cannot be reasoned with. It cannot be bargained with. It cannot be hexed. It cannot be cursed. It cannot be stopped. It cannot be killed. And only Lord Voldemort stands in its way.

One Shot. AU. After all, every child deserves a mother who loves them. Even those who grow up to be monsters. Luna just never imagined things would turn out this way. Time Travel.

Harry had asked the devil for the power to defeat Voldermort and the devil asked for his heart in return. There had been laughter in his dreams ever since. COMPLETE

Because anybody who could break into the North Pole has to have thought theft through better than that.... AU bit of "The Cave of Two Lovers".

Once again, Harry, Sam, and Dean are on a Hunt together, only this one may turn out to be the most important Hunt of all. Harry Potter xover, rated M for language, not slash. Sequel to 'Twice is Circumstance'.

The magical contract made by the Goblet of Fire inadvertently sets underway events that change everything you thought you knew about the boy-who-lived. AU GOF, depressing and a bit dark.

The world remembers a martyr, a painted icon with a golden halo. Lily Potter wasn’t that.

One-shot. Veela!Draco's POV. Draco comes into his maturity and finds out who his mate is. Their history makes their relationship rather ephemeral.

The Maruaders were not nice people, but what if the gang was as Dark as they should at first glance appear to be? AU Marauders era one-shot.

After finding out about his magic earlier, a decidedly non-Gryffindor Harry Potter plots his way to success.

The puzzle is complete and the doorway open once more. With his memory curiously and painfully blank, Draco must find the missing Boy-Who-Lived... because if his mistakes catch up with him, they will tear his soul apart.

Notes were handed out to students, warning them not to use magic over the holidays "I always hope they'll forget to give us these," said Fred Weasley sadly. After first year, Harry gets to do magic at home. Light and simple bit of cute fun.

The Harry Potter saga told in a form where every word in the story is composed from the letters “Harry James Potter.” It's slightly harder than it looks .

The true story of how Harry and Ginny's kids got their names. Really, it's all Snape's fault. Crackfic oneshot.

Ginny's not like Harry. She doesn't get to talk to the dead. PostDH oneshot.

ONESHOT. AU. How could have Harry's sorting ceremony looked like if the first war against Voldemort went down a bit differently. Dark and disturbing.

What if Vernon and Petunia were even more successfull in 'beating all that nonsense' out of Harry? A silly AU story of a nonpowerful, but cunning, Harry.

Both have been wearing masks they never managed to see through. Reluctantly saving each other’s life, they’re scared enough to look to one another for support. Slash HPDM

If life had ever bothered to ask his opinion on it, being an artist wouldn't have even made his short list, let alone a discussion on Things Seamus'd End Up Doing.Of course, Hermione Granger would've be a close second for things not appearing on that list

What really happened to the Philosopher's stone? A one hundred word drabble of a unique idea that wasn't big enough for a 'full' story. Could be canon!

Something for Hegwig. Written before Deathly Hallows was released.

A different war begins. The people want a saviour who'll protect them from bullets and Harry isn't it. 'Death Eaters killed eleven wizards this week. The Muggles have killed eighty.' [oneshot]

Harry finds a way to get motivated, really, really motivated. A super!Harry oneshot. Post HBP, AU, No DH.

Oneshot. He's hungry, bored, and severely annoyed. Riddle's been bossing him about for weeks. And who on earth is Barry Cotter?

Waiting for my turn to approach where the Dark Lord sat in his high backed, regal chair, I briefly wondered how different my life could have been if the Sorting Hat had got it right. Post HBP, AU, No DH.

Required reading for aspiring fanfic authors, or so I have been told. Yet another completely irreverent 'Mary Sue' parody. Set after HBP, but in no way cannon.

Dudley Dursley never really hated Harry Potter, but he did want what was in his room... Dudley decides to investigate Harry's room, with unfortunate consequences. Short oneshot set after GoF.

Mistletoe causes the fire, and Blaise Zabini knows of no way to quench it, to stop burning for the forbidden. Lost inside what he should not touch, it seems only right for everything to end under the innocent plant that started it all…

Harry and his friends are not pleased. The war is over, and they are the victors, but at a heavy price. Now they have a chance to set things right and skew the odds in their favour. And if they can humiliate the enemy in the process, so much the better.

A prequel of sorts to Leviathan Rising. Harry got through the first task of the Triwizard Tournament thanks to some good, general advice. But what if 'Moody' had given Harry some different advice?

Set in Gof, what if Harry had found a way to overcome the second task? What if while searching through the library he came across an insignificant seeming little book that teaches him the magic he needs?

The Daily Prophet has introduced a new opinion column to replace Rita Skeeter's. Minister Fudge claims it's just a publicity stunt, but many have already written to You-Know-Who for all kinds of advice.
