Summary
It's 1975 and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. At Hogwarts, she never puts a toe out of line, never gives her pure-blood classmates a reason to doubt her. Lily has big plans, even if she's not sure what, precisely, those plans entail.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky, but the war is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His ageing parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. The so-called Dark Lord is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act. The trouble is, Hogwarts isn't split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard.
Lily and James have always been enemies - ask anybody. But now that they've found themselves on the same side of an escalating war waged in classrooms and corridors, they're forced to see each other in a different light.

Summary
Voldemort has risen again in the graveyard of Little Hangleton. Dumbledore has reformed the Order of the Phoenix, and members old and new have made Sirius’ childhood home their place of rest and reconnaissance.
Remus Lupin is happy to rejoin the Order and bring some semblance of purpose back into his life - as a werewolf suffering under the increased restrictions of the Ministry of Magic, he has been, somehow, more penniless and destitute than ever.
Nymphadora Tonks is delighted to fight against Voldemort and his followers on two fronts - through the Order and the Ministry - even if she suddenly finds herself juggling more than she should.
After an awkward first meeting, neither is sure what to think of the other. But forced proximity reveals understanding and a connection that neither expected but both crave.

Summary
With Harry Potter's life hanging in the balance after a less-than-successful Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is sent back in time to save the Potters before they are betrayed. Initially promised a quick trip to 1981 and back to a future of peace, Hermione finds herself stuck in the past with a one-way ticket and a landing five years too late.
Now, in 1986, Hermione seeks the help of Remus Lupin to bring down Voldemort before he and his followers can rise again, but she finds that 1986's Remus Lupin is very different from the reserved and kind professor of 1998. This Remus is angry, grieving, and wants nothing to do with a witch who failed to save his chosen family.
They'll have to come together, however, if they want to prevent the Dark Lord's coming resurrection and save a young Harry Potter... and save themselves.

Summary
Severus Snape, faced with his own demise and with a profound sense of guilt, travels back in time to the night before Harry Potter’s parents were killed by Lord Voldermort.
Having weighed up his options, based on relationships and people he could trust in 1981, he rules out the possibility of approaching James Potter and Lily Evans himself, and instead seeks out the assistance of Narcissa Malfoy, herself a young mother at the time.
This story will span two decades, but the first dozen or so chapters will deal with setting the scene in 1981, after Snape visits Narcissa and effectively changes the future for all of the main characters.
The characters do not belong to me, they belong to JK Rowling. I hope I do them justice.
I write for fun and with the hope of bringing pleasure to a few readers.
Rated Mature for alcohol use, smoking, language and mentions of violence and sex (nothing explicit though.)

Summary
Remus Lupin never intended for his return to Hogwarts to be anything more than a necessary duty. He came to teach, to protect Harry, and to keep his secrets buried deep under a layer of well-worn tweed. He didn't plan on meeting a Hufflepuff student who understood his silence better than his words, or on finding his best friend again in the most unexpected way.
In the halls where ghosts of his past still linger, Remus is about to discover that home isn't a place you return to—it’s the people who pull you back from the edge.
