Summary
What if Shinichi hadn't been found by the police directly after shrinking? What if he hadn't made it to Agasa's, and therefore, not been taken in by the Mouri's? What if his injuries were more realistic? Follow the plot in the DC manga and some of MK from this new perspective. I've also taken the liberty of modernizing the setting.

The Sprouts and the Summer of the Snap-dragon by Islanderlass

Tags
Summary
AU starting summer of First Year. According to Albus Dumbledore, the Alley Explosion of 1992 'only' killed a shopkeep and two Ministry Wives. It should change nothing. The Weasleys and Malfoys beg to differ.
A story that has nothing (really) to do with Harry Potter. It's all about two men and eight children who mourn together, grow together, and build together.
Series

Tags
Summary
Albus Dumbledore was sure he made the right choice when he sacrificed an innocent child. Too late he understood how terrible that mistake was. Harry Potter was not what he wanted him to be, he was not what the magical world expected him to be. He was not a replica of James. Instead, he inherited more of Lily.
Far too much to be convenient.

Summary
Not all men are born equal. Some are created and stitched together wrong. This is the first lesson Subject A0-104 learns.
After the discovery and shutdown of an illegal quirk genetics lab, a group of dedicated pro heroes and detectives seek to find the children involved and rehabilitate them. While the general public is under the impression the “Angels” are in custody, they had escaped the lab during the chaos of discovery.
They remain elusive and unaccounted for three years later.
Once he transferred into Class 1-A, Shinsou Hitoshi accepts an internship with Underground Pro Hero, Eraserhead. As both his (apparently versatile) quirk and keen perspective catch the attention of the investigative team, Shinsou ends up on the case for “experience” and an “unconventional learning curve” despite his lack of a provisional license.
Unfortunately, the good part ends there.

Summary
Once upon a time, there was a world where wizard adults were incompetent, everything was coated in a thin layer of racism, and there was a very strict black and white morality. This isn’t that story.
This is the story of four children with the potential to change the world for the better. They each come from different places and perspective, but they each share one thing: Love. And Love is a very powerful thing. It can move mountains, change people for better or worse, and it can even break curses.
But these children are only eleven, now. They know not of potential or world-changing love. All they know of is a letter and a school full of wondrous things.

Summary
==ABANDONED==
Chapters 1-9 are full chapters; chapter 10 is a brief summary of the rest of the school year.
This work is abandoned - my own thoughts on engaging with Harry Potter fan spaces are complicated as a trans person, and the more I tugged at the strings holding the author's original worldbuilding together, the more of a chore and less of an enjoyable writing exercise it became to make a world that was cohesive and didn't make me feel like I was compromising my own values. I'm leaving the work up and added the summary chapter because I am proud of the portions of the story I managed to write and I know it sucks to read an unfinished story. However I will not be responding to any comments left and I may or may not post an outline of the rest of the years the series was originally supposed to span.
Thank you for your time.

Chaos Theory by Lalaith_Quetzalli (SeriesID: 2420938)
Summary:
The belief that nothing is ever truly random, that even supposedly unpredictable behaviors are ruled by deterministic laws. A mix of chance and logic that should be impossible yet shapes the universe. A matter of choices and consequences, of lives intertwined by free-will and by fate.
1. The Stilinski Pack: Sheriff Stilinski is in the know about the supernatural, has a history with Peter, and so after the fire he takes care of Peter. Cora, being friends with Stiles, seeks refuge with the Stilinskis. Things are completely derailed from canon.
2. 6 years after the fire. BH is territory to the Stilinski pack with alpha Peter, who is married to Noah. Derek comes to town looking for Laura, and in time becomes part of the pack. Allison and Chris come to town, hunting Gerard and Kate, who have been declared Intolerables by the French matriarch and have been hunted for years now. Gerard and Kate are dealt with pretty swiftly, by Noah and Stiles respectively. Some unusual truths about Chris and Allison come out. Deaton makes a move, and the Nemeton doesn't take kindly to it.
3. Backstory of how Peter, Noah, Chris, and Claudia all knew each other in younger years.
4. Completely different Darach Arc, which involves the BAU team (in the know about the supernatural) assisting.

Bookmarker's Notes
Great story! HPverse inconsistencies are questioned. No OOCness or bashing, in my opinion, but the story doesn't give the benefit of doubt to some characters (mainly Dumbledore and the Weasleys), making it seem like bashing if you love those characters.
John and Rodney do not let Dumbledore befuddle them and refuse to let their kid attend a school they aren't allowed to vet for security. They just hire a magic tutor for the kid on top of his normal education.
I hate it when a "Harry Raised By Others" story makes his pre-Hogwarts life seem like a mere training montage for him eventually being powerful enough to defeat Voldemort and showing up everyone in Hogwarts, instead of treating it like an actual childhood and recognising the fact that responsible adults in the HPverse could just as well deal with Voldemort. In this story, the Goblins demonstrate what having responsible and competent adults in the wizarding world could be capable of.

The last thing he needs is people sending him love letters in the mail - and whatʼs this about bloody ribbons round his wrist?

Or: Slow Burn Snarry with ridiculous wizarding courting thrown in because itʼs FUN, and also a crap ton of magical theory, some introspective character study and even a lil dash of philosophy and humour.

There were very few things in Harry Potter's life that he was certain of. There was one absolute certainty though; he'd felt it in his bones for as long as he could remember. He, Harry Potter, was dead. The living people around him might not believe, but the dead sure did. Oh well, it doesn't impact his life much. Besides, it's nice to get help with his schoolwork from his parents.

Summary
A multi-part series following Harry, Remus, and Sirius from November 1981 to October 2031. The first part is saving Sirius and Harry, told almost entirely from Remus' perspective. The second through eighth will be Harry's Hogwarts years. After that we'll explore the aftermath of the Wizarding Wars with Harry as auror-turned-professor, Remus as a commissioner for the "truth and reconciliation" committee, and Sirius as a Kept-But-Not-Captive Man and unwilling substitute transfiguration teacher. I've got it all lined out but not chronologically finished so bear with me!
