A Firecracker Christmas by BlaisedLit for SoonWithoutTheSun

Summary
Growing up, Harry knew that he would have to fight Voldemort. After spending 21 years of his life to defeat the Dark Lord, Harry Potter was finally enjoying doing something else. Staying in London under the guise of James Black, he had managed to use his skills and a few very powerful connections to be hired as a consultant on a project with the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Mysteries. The plan: familiarize himself with the country where his parents and his favorite uncles grew up and live a normal life.
Two months later, in a cozy bookshop off London's magical streets, a used Quidditch book caught Harry's eye. One that was clearly loved with wonderful little notes and anecdotes scrawled in its margins—tactics, secret recipes, hidden magical locations, and little glimpses of someone pouring their heart out into that book. Someone who had never been hurt by a diary and thus had no reason to mistrust one. A certain "Firecracker" who seemed to love flying.
Discovering London through the book also leads to a chance encounter with a feisty redhead. This might be the most wonderful Christmas yet for the savior of the world.
For H/G fans with a little Hallmark magic.

(Chaos, as it turns out.)This story is part of a series. If you haven’t yet done so, check out the prequel to this: Congrats, it’s triplets (Now grab them and run)! We really veered off canon with that one. This won’t really make sense without it.

Albus thinks he has it all planned out; leave Harry in the muggle world and fetch him when he's ready to come to Hogwarts. He doesn't count on Lily's sister to actually do right by the Boy Who Lived, nor does he expect to lose sight of his only weapon against Voldemort. Sucks to be him.

Summary
They called it the Maw. A ring of blood and ruin. A place for monsters. A home for children who had none.
Harry Potter never made it to Hogwarts.
Brought unconscious to the dark alleys of Knockturn, he should’ve died— cold, angry, and forgotten. Instead, he carved out a place for himself with bloodied hands and stolen wands. He built an empire from an abandoned factory, guarded by outcasts and orphans, where creatures fight for food and every day is a struggle. He’s not a boy anymore. Not a hero. Not a victim. He’s a thunderstorm.
Then, his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire— a name no one should know— he’s dragged back into the world that left him to starve. The world of robes and rules, where boys live in castles and forget the rest exist. He’s not welcome there. He doesn't want to be.
And yet, in the middle of all this, stands Lord Voldemort— beautiful, terrifyingly human, and wearing a smile like a knife. He offers Harry an alliance. Harry knows better. But monsters recognize each other, don’t they?
And this time, Harry Potter isn’t here to play by the rules.
He’s here to burn the house down.

Summary
True Healing magic has been forgotten to time. The magic used by Saint Mungos isn't True Arts. It's a pale imitation of what once was. Rumors of Low Magick making its return to the world is whispered in the alleys. It's a magic where the user doesn't draw their power from themselves, but the world itself. True Healing Magic falls into this category. This magic is not easily controlled and requires the caster to know their limits or risk burning out, and possibly even death. As the war ramps up, both sides want to get their hands on this so called user of the Lost Arts.
Harrison has kept to himself since he returned to England the previous year. After his parents had abandoned him, he'd been adopted by another assumed squib. She took him in, taught him, and treated him like her own son. Self taught he returns to England and sets up shop in Knockturn Alley. He acts as an Underground Healer, who only takes payment in what people can afford. There's just one rule. Don't talk about him.

And he is Harry Potter, by now, he should be more than used to encountering every kind of dark thing that can exist, whether it’s an artifact drenched in blood, or a child locked away since birth who also look way too much like him.
Or, Harry Potter died and was reborn in another world, one where he is James Potter’s cousin and Tom Riddle is the new Minister. The strangest part? He’s just met his younger self in some dungeon in Russia.
