Summary
Latin; a dead language with no practical applications except perhaps the deciphering of old texts and as a particularly quaint party trick.
Thankfully, as Harry finds out, Latin is not as dead as he was first taught when he decided to learn the language. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, of course; he loved Latin, and would have been proud to know it even had it been as useless as it was pretty. But in the world of Wizards, the world of Magic, Harry realizes his rare talent with words is particularly valuable, and allows him to use magic that no one's ever heard of, that no one's ever seen. But as time goes on, and he becomes more and more entangled in the webs spun by those around him, he starts to realize just how deep the magical rabbit hole goes and how dangerous power like his can be.
All Harry had ever wanted was for the world to make sense.

The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.
Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.
And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.
Because that makes sense.
(No. No it doesn't.)
But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.

Summary
Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
Sometimes one change makes waves.Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected.In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.Series

Real Prophecy:
“The one with the power to match the Dark Lord approaches... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal… The Dark Lord and his Equal will either rule together, or kill each other… They will destroy each other or be closer than brothers… From one path, ‘ The End ’ will fall upon us. From the other, we shall be saved… For either to die, it must be at the hand of the other for neither can die while the other survives… The one with the power to match the Dark Lord approaches...” -

Summary
Harry knew that sometimes people were just stupid. Take soulmates, for example. Wizards thought so much about them, but Harry knew better. Soulmates didn't matter, just like blood didn't matter. After all, Harry shared blood with Dudley, but it didn't make him a bully like his cousin. So what that his soulmate was a Dark Lord? That didn't make Harry evil either.
But people were stupid, and if Harry's time with Dursleys taught him anything, it's that the best way to deal with one's freakishness was to hide it.
So he does exactly that.

All Marinette wanted to do was buy some dishes and twinkle lights.
Instead, she got wrapped up in an all-out game of hide-and-seek between four of the most well-trained vigilantes in the world. Involving Home Alone-esque traps, crushed forklifts, a surprising amount of shoplifting considering they're the good guys, and the beginnings of an epic bond with a smirking, laser wielding, maniac.
Not that she knew that at the time. All she saw was a cute guy hiding behind a desk, and the rest was history.

Summary
Lan Wanji was never told the details of his parents' story. Now that he has discovered his own desires, his life's goal is to keep Wei Wuxian from finding out. But life is cruel and truths get revealed at the worst possible times.
Since I suck at summaries, here are some key features:
- it's Wangxian mainly
- plus some development of the prev generation Lans
- plus going to war with the Wens
- plus Wen Qing being totally badass
- plus Jin family craziness
- plus just about every character ever mentioned on the show and some assumed ones getting screentime and storylinesAnd if you're still wondering, here's a taste:
------------------------------
“Ah, but there are other Wens here though,” Jin Guangshan gave an appraising look to Wen Ning and Wen Qing. “Who could say where they were last night.”“Where do you think I was,” Wen Qing retorted quickly, “on my wedding night?”
[...]
“What about him then?” a Jin pointed at Wen Ning.“He was with me,” Nie Mingjue said flatly.
“All night?” Nie Huaisang peeked over his fan to stare at his brother. “What were you doing?”
“Talking,” Nie Mingjue said in a threatening tone. The fan went back up.

❤️Gentians in bloom
by teawater
wangxianficrecs queue. archived as series (2 works).Really fascinating and entertaining, epic fix-it with depth and twists and just, wild and uninhibited creativity along the lines of [Magical Marriage Ribbons, and Fallen]. In which wangxian get together (after awkward adolescent stumbling) as students - a relationship that begins to solidify as they study together and debate cultivation theory and invention. (Wwx is already a prolific inventor, and lwj is reluctantly fascinated.) When the Wens attack CR (and WQ turns coat to warn the Lans that it's going to happen) it is, of course, wangxian who save the day with an insane off-the-cuff invention through which they fool the wens into thinking they burned the sect and then quite literally bag them.
There are so many departures from canon! For example, wwx figures out how to call the other Yin pieces to them; wangxian learn to combine their qi and make a single big, extremely powerful entity out of their two selves; wwx never loses his core and while he uses demonic energy, it's not in the same way it is in canon, so he's not universally reviled. And, of course, he and lwj are paired up since their student days. There is heavy focus on his talismans and inventions (yay!) They save the Wens; and stumble over child mo xuanyu (whose sass blossoms once he understands he's safe with wangxian).
Story is loaded with plot and action and character interactions and transitions seamlessly between all of them so that when your teeth ache from fluff there's angst to cleanse your palate, and the same with action and relationships. Wwx's self-worth issues are ENORMOUS and don't seem much settled by the fact that every single other sect wants him and his genius, and there's digging into his past and why he's so fucked up, which gives room for lovely emotional h/c.
And I'm not even going to go into the possessed baby xuanwus (from eggs collected by young mxy), all the illegitimate Jin brothers, the whole province given to wwx by GusuLan as thanks for winning the war (he's SO unprepared to be the Lord of a city), lwj's foul-mouthed secret uncle, the meteor and the volcano. Just. It's epic, trust me.
In the sequel (nearly another 100k) you get wwx trying to face his fears via puppy therapy, a grand cultivation tournament (featuring a newly young adult mxy and his crush), a woman with a strange history, an incredibly awkward jc, wwx hiding a secret he doesn't feel is his to tell and lwj drinking vinegar. It's delicious. [This is the one where wwx is a teacher doing lectures at Lotus Pier involving The Chair that is a yao and goes in a wall...]

Harry dies...
This is generally considered a bad thing. But considering what Harry's life was, he's not all too disappointed.
Thrown a few decades in the past, given a new chance at life, and strangely insistent magical impulses guiding him to a young abused boy in Spinner's End, Harry certainly has his work cut out for him if he has any hope of fixing the wizarding world.
A story about the benefits of kindness, care, competent parenting, systemic educational reform, and teachers that know their shit.
Also a sword, there are a few swords involved.
