Summary
"how terrible is it to love something that death can touch. oh, but how beautiful it is to know that death is dying to touch what you love."

"Tell me the truth, Potter!" Umbridge screeched, "Tell me where Albus Dumbledore is!"
Harry’s head lolled forward as the curse lifted for a moment, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe.
"Go… to… hell," he rasped, defiance burning in his emerald gaze.
Her face twisted in rage, and she raised her wand again.
"CRUCIO! "
The curse slammed into him again.
---
Harry Potter dies. Harry Potter finds himself in the afterlife. Harry Potter finds himself facing Death in the face.
Death has his face.
Death tells Harry he wasn't meant to die, and gives Harry three propositions: go back to life, wait in limbo until battle or go back to the 1940s, and complete the impossible, with the help of his mother and father.
Death tells Harry everyone dies, but not everyone lives.
And Harry...
Harry finds himself with a mission.
Harry will make sure Tom Riddle gets to live his life, for once.

Summary
Harry Potter is supposed to be Voldemort's personal meditation tool for Dark Lords Suffering From Being Surrounded By Idiots, but when sudden changes in his sullen mental state come to Voldemort's attention, his plans are shoved aside and he is left reeling from sudden revelations about his nemesis.
OR
Harry would like to remember who he is, where he is, and who he is with. As he recalls more and more of his past, he realizes that he might just be safer than he's ever been and that it's kind of weird that he has yet to remember anything about the man who claims to be his enemy (and is doing a horrible job at it).
COMPLETE!

Summary
Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.

Fewer things are the same now, in this summer of 1996, though a few things will remain the same. This is Part Two of the Dreamweaver series.

Summary
Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.
