AU: Harry doesn't grow up with the Dursleys

Jul 04, 2006 11:31

This list more or less goes hand in hand with the other list I started today, Mentorship and adoption (Harry-centric) - where I only take stories that follow canon at least for a while. This list is for Harry having a different childhood - which means in a lot of cases also being adopted or at least mentored by someone ( Read more... )

Here from hogwarts_today. The ones I know are generally Remus and/or Sirius raising Harry. Hope these help.

The Maddest House by busaikko. Summary: Remus/Sirius; overall rating NC-17; in the aftermath of Halloween 1981, Sirius Black finds himself in a safe house with baby Harry. (The story ends in 1991, months before Harry would enter Hogwarts.)

Five Ways Remus Lupin Never Raised Harry Potter by juliette_kelley. Summary: Remus/Sirius in some scenes; rating PG-13; Five scenes. Five different ways Remus Lupin could have raised Harry Potter, but didn’t.

Scenes from Another Life by Helene. Summary: Remus/Sirius; rating PG-13; The night James Potter died, Sirius Black stopped to think, and three lives unfolded another way.

Then there is one more but I'm not sure if it fits in with your restrictions. I'll inclde it and you decide. Five Ways Sirius Black Never Raised Harry Potter (scene 1), (scene 2), (scene 3) by juliette_kelley. Remus/Sirius, Rating R to NC 17 depending on the scene. Each of the scenes are unrelated one-shots. The last two have never been written/posted. ( ... )

Thanks. I'll check them out.

Well, looked at them and decided that both of the "Five Ways" stories don't quite fit on the list. It's basically five unrelated ficlets or drabble-pieces of might-have-beens, not enough of a story to fit in any of the three categories I have. But added the other two.

Glad some were useful.

I also remembered that there is a community domus_felicus that is supposed to be dedicated to stories of Remus and/or Sirius raising Harry. I've never checked it out so don't know if there is anything of use to you but figured I'd pass that along.

Thanks, will have a look around. :)
