LeadVonE: Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches - Revenge is Best Served Raw
LeadVonE: Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches - Revenge is Best Served Raw
Fandom: Harry Potter
This is a fascinating and immensely complex remake of the "Harry dies, meets Death/Fate & is sent back" genre. In this version, as laid out in the first two chapters (so I'm really not giving spoilers here), there are three time lines operating. In the first, John Potter (Harry's twin, aka "The BWLived but not really", aka spoiled arsehole supreme) framed Harry (the real BWLived, abandoned by his parents as a squib (who have survived) and brought up by the Dursleys) for the depredations of the basilisk with the aid of manipulative!Dumbledore and had him sent to Askeban. Cue John dies in the graveyard, Voldemort takes over, mass deaths etc but also Harry learning hugely through his link with Voldemort which the Dark Lord gloats in keeping active while wiping out all of Harry's friends and most of the muggleborns.
In the second timeline John, send back by Death & Fate in disgust at his stuffing things up, is determined to get it right this time. Needless to say he doesn't.
In the third time line, Death and Fate have decided that Harry is their final hope to get it right and so so they send him back to age 8 complete with all the skills he learned through his link with Voldemort. Needless to say Harry is totally pissed off and very Grey.
Now comes the complexity: For Harry, this is his first trip back and he's determined to change things as much as possible and he now knows what's going on with John & Dumbledore. For John, this is also his first trip back and he wants to keep the timeline intact as much a possible so that he can predict what happens. However, he has no idea that his second timeline is now overlapping Harry's third or that Harry is also a time traveller. So he has no idea why Hermione and Ginny suddenly seem to hate him and who the hell is this "Lord Slytherin" who's so prominent but didn't exist the last time through?
This is, as I said, immensely complex. If you're not into WiPs then you won't like this at all. With the story beginning at age 8 there is a lot of lead up to even arriving at Hogwarts (chapter 16) and after 40 chapters we're only just getting to the end of first year. Lots of backstory in the politics and the logic of the spellwork and magic theory learned. Well worth the read!
Length: WiP, long (40 chapters so far, updated reasonably regularly)
Rating: T
Pairing: Harry/Daphne/Hermione/Luna/Ginny
