Harry Potter The HP Fic Recommendation Thread

I mean, I recently saw a fic that had Lucius Malloy punishing Snape for bringing shame to Slytherin by forcing him to have sex with Dobby, or be Dobby's sex slave or something. This is not an isolated incident.
I just went searching and found the summary:
Lucius Malfoy is the king of Slytherin and today is his duty to punish Severus Snape for bringing shame to their house, with the most humiliating and disgusting punishment he could ever think for the dirty git. He would make Severus lose his virginity to the next uglier thing he could think: a house elf.
No one could ever foresee the consequences that would unfold.
(This is supposed to be a dirty PWP with all my kinkies. There’ll be sex between a person and a house elf, but Dobby will slowly acquire a human form to glamour himself because I want so. There's also a plot.)

Random thought: We always see these time travel stories where Harry and Co. are all like 'We cannot be found the Unspeakables will dissect us!'
Have we ever seen a story where that's legit Voldemort's reason for half the crap he pulls?
"Look, in about 200 years the muggles are going to flip shit and nuke the entire planet dead. I may have sort of fucked up with the Horcruxes and lost most of my sanity but I need to survive for like 400 years to help solve this shit. No, I'm not taking over the government to rule as a dictator because I need British power, in the grand scheme of things Britain isn't that important. But I need to live somewhere, and Britain's reasonably easy to take over aside from Dumbledore's passive aggressive muggle hypocrisy everywhere, and I need a place where the government won't dissect my timetraveling ass. It's a bonus that the Minister's word is practically gospel here so I don't need to worry about a rebellious unspeakable doing weird shit with me. Now are you in or not? Because if you kill me Fate is just going to drop this whole bucket of bullshit in your lap."

You would probably need to change canon for this to work out, but it's a fun idea. Can be light hearted or a serious story. A light hearted version, would be that, while Britain is a wonderful country to begin the 'human reformation' plans, it's a HUGE bureaucracy - that works! Dumbledore doesn't really have an opinion on things, but is just damn good at following the law and making sure Voldermort gets behind bars ... even if it means in the long run, the wizarding world is doomed. Why? He's at the end of his life and wants to screw the current generation by FOLLOWING the wording of the law.
I think I would read this story. Or something with a similar dynamic - i.e. Voldermort's objectives are commendable, Dumbledore isn't really his arch-enemy but just a good pencil pusher. No evil Dumbledore, just one who doesn't care either way because he's near the end of his life.

I'd probably spin it that actually it was the Wizarding Worlds' fault anyway somehow; like one of the 13 muggles that was killed in the "gas explosion" when Padfoot confronted Wormtail was, like, secretly a Russian spy, so the suspicious gas explosion a hundred yards off the gas line dramatically increased tensions between nuclear powers. Like that.
I read a fanfiction once where Voldemort was so anti-Muggle because he was terrified of the world ending in nuclear war. That seems kind of what you're looking for? But it had a really weird setting where time froze and the only people still able to move were Voldemort, Harry, a couple other powerful wizards I think, and a plot I can't remember. I'm pretty sure Again and Again by Athey has a similar characterization except Voldemort went insane from creating horcruxes.
If he was institutionalized as a child, the orphanage was probably relocated outside of London as part of Operation Pied Piper -- about 50% of the children living in London were moved out of the city during the Blitz, either formally to government-run boarding facilities or informally by being sent to relatives' homes.
I dunno that Voldemort was actually that afraid of death in the first place; I mean, on one hand he was so super-paranoid that he went ahead and created seven Horcruxes instead of the standard-issue one, but on the other hand he wasn't afraid to basically experiment on his own soul by going overboard like that.
Plus, like, if you're sociopathic enough that you don't consider "cold-blooded murder to shave off a piece of your soul to stick in a jar" the kind of cost that's not a mortal sin, instead just, like, a logistical hassle to arrange, why not create a Horcrux?
Plus if his greatest fear was dying he probably wouldn't have gone and started a war. Probably he would have become some kind of evil sage or hermit or whatever, not pick the kind of job where he's definitely going to be hunted by cops and vigilantes all the time.
He's more like a control freak; his mom dying on him fed that with abandonment issues, he anchored his soul so he couldn't die outside his own choosing, he was afraid of losing to Dumbledore not getting killed by him as such, he hated that a prophecy would dictate his future, he couldn't get the job he wanted so he decided to conquer the nation so he could make the rules.
Voldemort always seemed to me someone driven by his need to dominate his surroundings, if he was really driven by death-fear I think he would have been more, well, cowardly about risking his life; he wouldn't have created a Horcrux without making someone else do it first to check it was safe, ditto his new-body ritual. Instead he was basically a tyrant. And he probably would have went and stolen / reproduced the Philosopher's Stone way back in his youth to preserve himself, rather than just trying to grab it the one time he needed to rebuild his body and not bothering with it otherwise.

Harry killed them once. Now that he is eleven he'll kill them again. Hermione knows her wonderful best friend has a huge secret, but that just means he needs her more. A H/Hr time travel romance where they don't become a couple until Hermione is twenty one, and Harry kills death eaters without the help of children.
Rated: Fiction M - English - Romance - [Harry P., Hermione G.] - Chapters: 9 - Words: 40,170 - Reviews: 356 - Favs: 1,111 - Follows: 712 - Updated: Oct 31, 2014 - Published: Sep 12, 2014 - Status: Complete -
An interesting take on the 'Everything goes wrong, rocks fall, everybody dies, and then PTSD!Harry gets sent back in time.'
Even more interesting is that the story is told from Hermione's perspective.
