Broken Chains (Harry/Hermione/Luna)




Broken Chains by Darth Marrs
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7718942/1/Broken-Chains

This is not a usual recommendation because this is a very dark story and normally those are good but not worth rereading. This breaks that pattern in that is both excellent and chilling. Remus is unable to stop Harry from going after Sirius into the veil. He continues to come to the veil everyday for a month just hoping. Then Harry gets thrown back out of the veil and the world is changed forever. When he awakes he is no longer Harry Potter he is the Darth Shaddix, Dark Lord of The Sith. Hermione finds that the only person he cannot attack is her and realizes that it means Harry is still in there. Then Dumbledore once again proving that his arrogance know no bounds attempts to break the mental block to separate the memories. It does not go well and what is left is someone who is a blend of Sith and Champion. He intends to remake the world and with Hermione and Luna (as a seer) at his side stands a good chance of succeeding. There is torture, rape, blood shed, dub con and in some cases gratuitous violence. He is not the Harry Potter they knew he is something else. The characterization is amazingly done, the characters make choices  that while not canon fit what they have become. This is not suitable for young readers and is rated M for the torture, rape and the explicit sex scenes. But if you can handle that it is a wild ride, a very believable story and the perspectives change enough for you to see the worlds reaction to the New Savior.

Harry Potter and the Escape to New York (Harry/Hermione/Fleur)



Harry Potter and The Escape To New York by Writing Warriors

I used to love the show Beauty and the Beast and thought Vincent was the perfect hero. He is also the perfect person to be raising Harry. The story is excellent, the characters are believable and the reactions of Dumbledore fit him perfectly. This is a man so obsessed with his own omnipotence that he disregards the efforts of those around him to stop his mad decline. This is not so much about Harry and Voldemort as it is about Dumbledore's obsession with the prophecy and the belief that he is always right. The scene where Harry dreams about what could happen was chilling because it was so believable when you figure out just how far the man would go for the "Greater Good". The relationship between Hermione, Harry and Fleur does not feel forced there is a natural progression to the Triad. I cannot recommend this story enough. When Hermione found out about what really happened in first year all I could think of was man I hope she sends him a howler because we all know Hermione could really rip someone apart when she gets started. Then the American Ministry of Magic gets involved and everything just escalates. Harry shows what is possible with love and support and I would love if there is a followup.
