Sometimes playing by the rules is not just your best option, it can be your only option.

AU. Harry Tyrell the counterpart to Harry Potter, born the second son of House Tyrell dares to dream. He will not be a sword at the side of his brother, a knight of the Kingsguard or what else his family plans. He will make his own destiny and show the world what 'Growing Strong' really means. Image is curtsey of NyxxNoxx.

A very different Count Dooku gets pulled into a force anomaly just after he leaves the Jedi order. This Dooku remains uncorrupted by the Dark Side. He left the Order for purely ideological reasons. His disembodied spirit joins with a young Harry Potter and acts as a guide to a child caught in a terrible situation. Kind of two AUs. Pairings undecided. Main pair will not be slash.

AU GoF. What would have happened if the Schools involved in the Tri-Wiz were less receptive of Harry's name coming out from the Goblet? What if everyone was against him? And where the icy blue-eyed Slytherin Queen fits in all this? OOC!People Powerful!Independent!Harry. Bashing of some characters around. Good but Misguided!Dumbledore and Harry/Daphne! Betaing in process!

Harry and the dragons fight to find their place and gain acceptance amidst growing international tensions. Not all is well and good as the Weyrs threaten established powers and offer new opportunities. Follow Harry and the dragons as they try to navigate increasingly turbulent waters of international politics, terrorism and intrigue. On indefinite hiatus.

An AU kicking off mostly from where Hagrid picks up Harry, though he's very AU. Some OC, but mostly just independent Harry. No pairings. Rating for some languageish things. Writing is complete, but will add one chapter a week, when I remember to (only 5 or 6 long, can't remember which).

After the Events of his fifth year Harry is angry. Fed up with Dumbledore's lies, half truth and deceits, he will no longer allow anyone to dictate his life. He trains very hard and along the way makes some startling discoveries. He discovers who he is.

The war is lost, Voldemort is about to kill Dumbledore and Harry when Dumbledore in a last desperate attempt sends Harry back in time with the order to change one small thing. But Harry is obliviated before the timeturner activates...[HarryTonks][complete
