Hermione Granger and the Hogwarts Champion by PseudoLeigha

Summary
Hermione Granger is having a crisis, what with her mother giving her an ultimatum (choose her parents or Hogwarts, basically) and her friendships with her best (read: only) friends faltering at best after months spent not speaking to each other all last term. The last thing she needs is Lilith "Shadow" Gaunt showing up in her life, making it look easy to take all the electives (*without* a time turner), beating her in essays and casting advanced magic like it's nothing. Unfortunately, Gaunt is actually a "temporally displaced" version of Tom Riddle, so someone needs to keep an eye on her, and what are the chances that someone will be anyone other than Hermione?

Summary
"Stop me if you've heard this one: a mental patient, a witch, and a priest walk into the village pub..."
-o-o-o-
It turns out that if you tell the staff at a Muggle psychiatric hospital that you're a wizard, the former headmaster of a magical school, and also a murderous, serial-killing gang member of a racialised hate group, that they are quite likely to lock you up on a closed ward.
Incidentally, to Severus Snape - exhausted and war weary - that sounds like just the thing.
High-powered Barrister at Law Hermione Granger disapproves, of course.

Story is finished in full and updates weekly on Sundays!
(Original summary: "As it happened, it wasn’t terribly difficult to be sectioned in a Muggle hospital. Not if one was a wizard and told the truth.")

Stranger than Fiction: Goblet of Fire by PseudoLeigha

Summary
Harry Potter escaped the Dementors at the end of his third year. He saved his godfather. He saved a goddamned hippogriff. But for the first time, he couldn't save everyone.
Someone died who wasn't supposed to die, and it's all the Author's fault. The Author messed up, you see. Their Story is projected on a world, and it can only change so much about how that world works.
Cracks have appeared in the Narrator's control for the first time. It still controls Harry's every move, but the settings, the context, its hold there is weakening, and more and more people are going off script as changes accumulate. Harry and Riddle have been given an inch. How far they can make it stretch remains to be seen. More importantly, they've been given hope. It came at a high price, but they know now that the Author can mess up.
And seeing as the Author doesn't really seem to know anything about the world they're influencing, it's probably only a matter of time until they mess up again.

“Why wouldn’t I be real, El?”
“The Aboleth got you.”
