    Summary

    The thing is – giving Jim Kirk a dare will never ever work. “Enlist,” she repeats to herself as Pike’s back disappears out the door. She snorts. It’s one of those things that just keep getting funnier.

    Summary

    From the moment Charlie left Hogwarts, he'd heard about Harry Potter. The longer time goes on, the more their lives become intertwined and the more Charlie can't keep himself away (8 year age gap be damned).

    This is an AU, but uses as many elements from canon as possible. It follows the order of the books but is mostly from Charlie's perspective. Up until later chapters of the story, this all could feasibly exist within the canon universe.

    Don't be turned off by the 'Underage' tag, I just wanted to cover my bases. Also note the story is only rated at Teen. That being said, if that's a trigger for you then protect yourself and pass this one by. I hold no grudges :)

    Summary

    Harry Potter really didn’t plan on living past his fated confrontation with Lord Voldemort. When the latent basilisk venom and phoenix tears in his blood started making dramatic changes to his body, he wasn’t that concerned. It’s not like he was going to live long enough for it to be a problem anyway.

    Even if he had planned to live past the final battle, then he could never have guessed the struggle awaiting him on the other side, or that he’d become a magnet for those with nowhere else to go like the snarky house elf, the grumpy phoenix, the injured vampire, or the stray werewolf that showed up on their doorstep…oh, and the egg. You can’t forget the egg; that’s the most important, more than anyone or anything else on the planet. Harry will do whatever it takes…literally whatever, even light the fire and watch the world burn, all for the sake of the egg.

    Summary

    Harry Potter had a plan...it wasn't a very good plan, but at least it was simple.

    Step 1: Don't die from the insanely difficult ritual
    Step 2: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible before getting killed and/or arrested

    As it goes, it was really simple...until it became clear he wasn't traveling back in time alone. Now the whole plan has to change.

    Step 1: Don't die from the ritual
    Step 2: Kill off current Dark Lord
    Step 3: Establish following to become new Dark Lord
    Step 4: Overthrow Ministry
    Step 5: Cause as much chaos to the timeline as possible
    Step 6: Keep boyfriend alive and not mad at him

    It was a work in progress, but plans hadn't worked out well for Harry in the past regardless. Oh well, it's not like he could make things worse...

    Summary

    Harry by now should know better than to touch things that he'd been assured were harmless.

    Too bad that circumstances aligned to give him no other choice, resulting in him and his godson being tossed back nearly a century into the past leaving him with a significant choice to make: did he keep his head down and try and avoid changing the future?

    Or did he take a very deliberate step off of the pre-worn path and see if a few changes - just here or there - could create a better future for everyone, including him.

    Summary

    Update 6/29/2020: Due to current issues going on in the world, I thought it prudent to add a few things here so that all of you have some advanced knowledge of what you're getting into:
    1) Due to the very nature of the Summer Contacts 'verse - something that was written and planned a looooong time ago -, Magical and Muggle Law Enforcement in every form will play a very heavy role. There will be both positive and negative portrayals of LE so if you do get triggered, please Read with Caution.
    2) There will be stories that will to some degree deal with racism. A lot of it will be anti-Muggle racism - such as 'Quidditch, Anyone?' - and Canon Blood Status prejudices, which will be explored throughout the series. Stories containing 'Regular' White/other racism will be tagged and further details included in the Author's Notes.
    3) COVID-19. While this handed me the most *beautiful* scenario, I don't know if it will be included in the series itself.
    ~Most stories are being written by hand, so keep that in mind. ~
    The series Summer Contacts: Revelations also ties in.
    While I do have ideas for AU versions -remix? - of some of the stories here, I don't know if I'll be writing them anytime soon.

    Summary

    “A doctor,” Sherlock repeated, cracked words breaking right over John’s explanations. “And a soldier. And something more, now, too. Something I didn’t see.” He looked up to meet John’s gaze and narrowed his eyes. “I’ve been over it again and again since this morning and have utterly failed to find a logical explanation. What are you? A god?”

    John snorted and straightened from the doorframe. “There are no such things as gods, Sherlock, and if there were, I wouldn’t be one.”
