Summary
“Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!”
“Stand aside, you silly girl… stand aside, now”.
And Lily Potter stepped aside.
Voldemort stared at her.
“... Is this some sort of trick?” he asked softly.
“No". Her voice was flat, lifeless. “You already killed James... If you let me live, then you can have Harry”.
Voldemort’s lip curled - not in amusement, but disgust. His own mother had died for him. Pathetic, yes, sentimental and foolish - but she had chosen to die so that he could live. Lily Potter wasn’t even choosing to care. Surely the child of prophecy deserved a better mother than this! Even he could give the boy to a better family to be raised right!
Voldemort slowly reached down and picked up the child.
He was still staring at him. He was still oddly silent. His eyes were still the colour of the Killing curse and brimming with power.
Yes, Voldemort decided, that was exactly what he’d do.
"You belong to me now" he whispered.
And with a crack like thunder, he turned on the spot, vanishing into the night.Or, the one where Harry Potter is raised by the Lestranges and it goes more or less how you would expect.

Summary
Soulmate something everyone looks forward to. On the fifteenth birthday of the youngest of the pair, the marks appear on 99% of the population. Less than one percent of the world doesn't have a soulmate.
On Harrison's 15th birthday his soulmate marks came in. One was on his left wrist the name was in clear and crisp handwriting. It read 'Rabastan Lestrange. He knew that meant his soulmate was a Death Eater. He realizes that the Light has failed him and that not everyone in the Dark is evil. Barty's kindness was proof of that and why Harrison helped him escape. He knows he can never tell anyone. Not even the other side of the bond. The Light would not be happy to know that he was connected to a Death Eater and Rabastan would likely not be pleased to learn that his soulmate was the enemy.
Desperately Harrison tries to keep his head down. To not bring attention to himself and hope his connection to his soulmates is overlooked in the brewing storm of war. As he returns to Hogwarts he struggles with a powerful in him that he's unable to find an explanation for. Desperately hoping that no one notices. But that's not how things work out. Not for him. Never for him.

Summary
“No post on Sundays” Uncle Vernon announced happily, “No damn letters today-”
Something came whizzing down the kitchen chimney as he spoke and caught him sharply on the back of the head. The next moment, thirty or forty letters came pelting out of the fireplace like bullets.
“That does it!” he snapped, his beady little eyes focused solely on Harry, “It’s you that they want. And they won’t stop coming after us until you’re… gone”.
Harry didn't like the sound of that.
“But Vernon, we can’t! You heard what that- that despicable old man told us!”
“Don’t worry, pet” Vernon said, his nasty grin triumphant, “I’ll leave him someplace so far away that those freaks will never trace him back to us. There’s an institute up north, for these- these hopeless cases and whatnot - St Brutus's Secure Centre for Boys. I’ll leave him there, and then we can get back to our nice, normal life”.Or, the one where Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts in first year but finds his way to the wizarding world anyway, and this changes everything.

Summary
Holly Potter, years after wining the war, realises that while Voldemort might have been stark raving mad – the young Tom Riddle was a shrewd politician and wanted to bring many needed changes to Wizarding world, changes she can get behind wholeheartedly. After being hit by a killing curse for the third time in her life she wakes up in a dimension where Voldemort doesn't exist and Tom Riddle is going by the name Marvolo Slytherin. He is the kind of politician Holly had dreamed he would have been if not for horcurxes.
As Holly and Marvolo get closer to each other in this dimension she slowly starts realising that both in her own world and in this new one the connection between her and Tom Riddle is much much deeper than a prophecy or a horcrux and that she had been manipulated in both worlds to view him as the enemy.
