    I am searching for this recent story where Harry, somehow, is sent back to a time where his parents are still in school and is sorted in Gryffindor.
    He adopts Dumbledore's last name....and I believe goes on to marry Bellatrix.

    I came across it sometimes back but ,for the life of me, am unable to recall the title or the author.

    Looking for this 19+ years later fic with flashbacks to HBP were we discover that Harry discovers he's been obvilated and under a love potion for 19+ years by Ginny.

    Contains the line something like "Luna Fucking Lovegood, I see how you look at that Ravenclaw."

    Story about Harry organizing the cursebreaking expedition to Egypt to study ancient magics.
    His assistant is Daphne (or Tracy) who is the Black Widow of the new generation (I mean killing her husbands for money, not a comic book character).
    When Harry is rich enough, she decides he is going to be her new husband. Harry responds by turning her into a Horcrux.

    There's a story where Harry figures out that Moody is an imposter, but then he gets overpowered in a duel (or tricked, somehow) and obliviated, so things go as planned. I want to say it's What Lies Beneath or On the Way to Greatness, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

    I reread On the Way to Greatness recently and it definitely happened in that story. I'm sure I've read it in another story too, but can't remember where.

    It was a pretty common plot thread back in the day, but given how popular OTWTG is, it's probably that one.

    For a while, I thought it might have been HP and the Chrysalis, because I felt like Tom had been warning him about Moody, but I couldn’t find it in the story. I think fake-Moody tries to recruit him as a death eater in the library, and he’s not very subtle about it.

    Maybe it was another’s of his Slytherin friends who warns him in Greatness?

    In Greatness it was the Marauder's Map. Harry noticed during DADA class that the person teaching the class was not Moody but Barty Crouch, but Crouch found him out (using Legilimency, from memory), held him back after class, out-duelled him and Blaise Zabini and modified their memories, taking the Map in the process. All up, it was actually pretty well executed.

    @James018 - that must be it.

    Yeah, that was pretty good. Still one of my favourite stories.

    It starts in the first year. The point system was personal, so you'd earn points for yourself and could "buy" things with them (like a private room, or have the elves do your laundry). Harry (non Gryffindor) initially teams up with Neville (Gryffindor) until they fall out and Harry teams with Hermione instead. I don't remember who are the other two teammates. Thanks ahead!
    I can probably think of some more details, but they'd be small...

    Looking for an story about the MCU (i think?). Basically it's a bunch of snippets of a reporter following the Avengers around and framing the plot as a series of newspaper articles. I'd spoiler the twist if it weren't so crucial to what I was looking for but:

    The reporter/POV is P. Parker. Stealth Spider-Man crossover, which we don't discover until the final line.

    I can't remember if I read it on AO3 or even Spacebattles, but for some reason I don't have a bookmark so I'm assuming it's one of those two.

    Was trying to re-find a fanfic on Fanfiction.net (at least I'm pretty sure that's where I read it).

    Harry Potter fic. Main character is an original female character already most of the way through Hogwarts. Can't fully remember what house she was in other than not Gryffindor. Set in same time period of Harry Potter books. Snape teaches her a lot about potions and somehow she ends up being a double agent like him, learning to brew potions for the Dark Lord but remaining faithful to Dumbledore/The Order. Does go past her graduation out of Hogwarts. Also later in the fic she and one of the Weasley twins end up falling in love and it's very hard for them to meet.

    I think her name might have been Persephone because I remember Perse/Percy being used as a nickname and being made fun of (cuz Percy Weasley) but I MIGHT be mixing that up with another fic.

    This really is driving me insane though, can't remember the fic title or author and have tried using filters to search on FFN and Arichive of Our Own but have come up with zilch.
