Summary
“But what are the odds of two people who were born on the same day being genetically identical?” Simon asked. “Plus, everything about us that isn’t identical isn’t genetic, right? Our scars, our glasses…and we’re both missing one parent…”
Harry finally understood what Simon was implying. “You don’t think -”
“I do.” Simon looked up at him, a smile spreading across his face. “We’re twin brothers, aren’t we?”
***
After a happy but rather mundane childhood with his mother, Harry Evans is desperately excited to go to Hogwarts and finally experience the full magical world. However, what Harry hadn’t been prepared for was meeting the Boy-Who-Lived, Simon Potter. The boy who, strangely enough, was somehow completely identical to Harry, down to the last messy black hair.
WBWL, but with a Parent Trap style twist.

Summary
“Your robes are…red,” Hermione finally said, strangely accusing.
“Burgundy!” Severus protested. Red was tacky. Burgundy, however, had class.
“And what did you do to your hair?” she asked in horrified fascination.
Snape’s hand rose to his scalp.
“Nothing! What is wrong with you? I just washed it and blow-dried it like every morning…”
“Ah, I see.” She nodded and stepped back. “Alternate dimension. It must be.”

Now, after the escape of the man who got his mother killed and revelations brought on by an encounter with a dementor Harry has to face a new challenge, that of figuring out who he (or she) really is.Starts in third year, currently in seventh year

Tom Riddle was sorted into Gryffindor. There is nothing to fear.
(If oneshots and multishots aren't your thing, you can probably skip ahead to Hermione Granger and the Silent Country, which, by accident, has a pretty good recap of what you need to know to hit the ground running in that story.)

Summary
Instead of three Gryffindors, the trio consists of a Slytherin, a Ravenclaw, and a Hufflepuff. No matter what, they're on each other's teams. And also, they probably need more than just two friends, and maybe even some competent adults.
And meanwhile, in the firmaments, the war builds.
Or: the power the Dark Lord Knows Not is friendship, but in a split-knuckled, brutally co-dependent sort of way.

Summary
Harry Potter has always been different, and his strange connection to plants marks him as the freak his Aunt and Uncle always claimed he was. The wizarding world was supposed to be an escape, but even there, he must hide the truth of his abilities. His magic doesn’t fit the rules, and secrets have a way of growing wild.
(If only there was someone who understood...)

A Minor Intervention by PseudoLeigha
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
24 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
Buffy and company are in over their heads with the First and its mind-games. When Xander is used to open the Seal, their universe is invaded by something even stranger and more terrifying than Turok-Han: Bella Black and Mira Zabini. (They were on holiday and got lost. That's Bella's story and she's sticking to it.)
Bella quickly picks a fight with the First because it's an insult to the Dark to call that thing evil. This is good for morale, but does rather derail canon.
Tom eventually shows up to take the girls home, and/or be used as a tool of the gods and the Powers That Be to deal with that persistent little Devourer problem of theirs. With the daughter he didn't know he had in tow, because "Katie" said so.
And, as it turns out, when you put Willow Rosenberg, Dawn Summers, and Lily Evans in a room together, you have the makings of an epic shift in magic and the nature of the universe itself.
(Mira is NEVER going on holiday with Bella again. Ever.)
POD: Albus Dumbledore hires Tom Riddle as the Defense Professor in 1961. Between being a full time professor and Head of Slytherin and his hobby of killing people in horrible ways, he's far too busy to become a Dark Lord. Consequences ensue.

Summary
Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.
Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.
This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.
There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.

Double Agent Vader by Fialleril
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
06 Dec 2017
Summary
The one where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.
This is a collection of oneshots that all fit into the same universe, but posted in no particular order. Updated when the muse strikes me.
Alternate summary, according to TV Tropes: A man attempts to escape slavery by turning into one of his culture heroes, teaching his daughter how to do magic, killing people, and flower arranging.
