Summary
Harry Potter is exhausted, haunted by the media, and somehow more socially anxious than ever. The war never came, but he’s still stuck in the middle of everything—The Chosen One, The Liar, The Symbol. He’s tired of being looked at. Tired of being looked through.
When eighth year begins, he flees to the Room of Requirement to escape it all. It’s quiet there. Safe. Until it isn’t—until Draco Malfoy shows up. They agree to ignore each other, which goes about as well as you’d expect.
Includes: magical shenanigans, a snake named Thistle, thestral babies, inappropriate uses of Parseltongue, cozy chaos, smutty smut and angsty angst, and two idiots falling in love.

Summary
After Sirius falls through the veil, Harry realizes he has a choice: die as the Chosen One or live as himself. He chooses himself.
Armed with self-taught Apparition and a photograph torn from a muggle magazine, Harry disappears to Egypt. He trades his wand for anonymity, his galleons for a flat in Cairo, and his destiny for the simple freedom of surviving one more day.
When Dumbledore sends Snape to drag him back, Harry refuses. And slowly, against all odds, he convinces Snape that they both deserve to live too.

Summary
“When our demigod heroes complete quests of a certain difficulty or influence, we offer them immortality, to become one of us. We tell them it’s a reward, and perhaps it is, but truthfully it is because their divinity has begun to outshine their humanity, and their mortal forms won’t hold forever. The same holds true for you.”
After Harry Potter's return to life in the Forbidden Forest, the Underworld deities judge that his time as a mortal must end. Harry, who was only just starting to get to grips with a magical world without war, must now enter a new world of myth, and take his place in the Underworld Court. Of course, Harry's never been very good at doing what he's told and won't give up on the life he fought for so easily.

Summary
Harry Potter has never been normal. Even before he was born, he was a child of prophecy. So no part of his life could be called normal in the slightest. When given the chance to have a 'normal' life, does he even know what that means? No, he's gone through too much to even try, and he's too tired to care. It's too bad everyone expects him to be the upstanding son and heir of the Potter family when he's never had family before in his life though.
Also, the baby is a little difficult to explain. The baby who may eventually turn into Lord Voldemort...no, nature vs. nurture and all, and Harry plans to nurture the hell out of this kid.
