Summary
After the war, Harry Potter won. Then he lost everything.
Years of fighting for a world that threw him away the moment he became inconvenient. Years of watching good people die while the Ministry shook hands with the very enemy trying to destroy them. Years of grief that hollowed him out until nothing remained but rage and a single, desperate question:
What if I had done it differently?
A forbidden ritual. A second chance. A body that is no longer his own and a mind that remembers horrors no fifteen-year-old should ever know.
He knows what's coming. He knows who is responsible. And he knows that the Boy Who Lived cannot save anyone.
So Harry Potter will not try.
He will do something far more dangerous.
The future hangs on a single question:
What happens when the Chosen One stops choosing to be good?

Summary
It started with a rat.
A rat scurrying through the garden, eating Aunt Petunia's prized roses. He did it without thinking, bringing the shovel in his hand to cut the creature clean in half.
Petunia had screamed.
Dudley threw up.
Vernon had dragged him inside before beating him black and blue.And Harry...Harry discovered something rather unnerving about himself.
Because this little rat had been powerless against him. For the first time in his short life, Harry Potter had gained power.
He felt addicted.It started with a rat, and ended with No.4 Privet Drive burning to the ground.

'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
- Merriam Webster dictionaryFor Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

Summary
Eight years ago, Tony Stark lay dying on the Afghan sand, the shrapnel of his own bombs having pierced his very heart, betrayed by his beloved godfather and left to die. Now, he lay helpless in a Siberian bunker, weighed down by his own dead armor, utterly wrecked by the friend he'd so naively trusted.
But despite the world’s best efforts to break him, he lives. He comes back with a vengeance, stronger than ever, refusing to be defeated. Ever the mechanic, he fixes things. He builds a brighter future, a safer planet, and a loving family from the ashes of what he has lost.
… or, my self-indulgent long-ass fic filled with my trademark bitterness and bias that asks the question: what would happen leading up to and during IW if Tony completely turns his back on the Rogue Avengers post-Civil War?

Bookmarked so I don't read it for a third time!
It's a good story but the author marked it as complete for some reason. It actually only has six chapters and wasn't even half way through the story. -

Summary
When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire and his closest friend turns against him, it triggers a cascading series of events that send him down a completely different path. With some help from new friends, and a few surprisingly competent adults, Harry starts to question things in his life and find his own path outside of what others expect of him.
Or;
What if Harry had a slightly more emotional reaction when his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, and some of the teachers acted like actual responsible adults?
Featuring a host of new Ravenclaw characters, a sassy snake friend, and protective mumma dragons.
