A single "⚠️" means that there is mention of abuse.
*~*~*
Voldemort kills Lily Potter but somehow James Potter survives the attack. He attacked the Potter's in an attempt to avoid a certain prophecy. Except his plan backfired when Lily sacrificed herself for her baby. We all know this story. We all know how the Dursley family treated Harry like trash.
But that's not what happened, James Potter never died. He was simply rendered unconscious. Everyone thinks it's a miracle but there's something they don't know. Harry never had to live with the Dursleys. Harry didn't lose both of his parents. He was never a poor orphaned abused child!
Isn't that what everyone had hoped for? But, there's a dark secret that might actually change everything from the original prophecy. Harry wishes he had died that night. He knows that there's a side to James that no one else knows about. He has grown quite accustomed to it. It's all he has ever known since he was a baby after all.
It's a painful truth that needs to be uncovered before it's too late. What really happens under the roof of the Potter house? Will anyone believe the shy, timid boy? Will he really become a powerful wizard? Will Harry manage to break free from his fate and/or destiny before it's too late?
What is Harry's life truly like? How will Harry navigate life situations he has never been in or even seen before? Will the truth really be found out? Or will Harry become a different kind of monster before he is saved from himself and his very traumatic lifestyle?

NEPENTHE ⟶ James Potter
It has been over a year since the murder of his wife, Lily, and James Potter wishes every day that it is simply a nightmare that he will wake up from. Unfortunately, it isn't and in the wake of her death, James finds himself as a single parent to their son, Harry. The Boy-Who-Lived is known all around the wizarding world as the one to defeat Lord Voldemort on the same night that Lily was killed as the proclaimed "Dark Lord" attempted to rid of the child as well, yet failed. However, James is just trying to do his best in raising Harry in the most normal fashion as he can possibly muster but it's not easy. With one of his former best friends in Azkaban for the betrayal to the Order and his two remaining best friends not on speaking terms, James finds himself drowning in stress. Yet, relief comes in the form of a young woman, named Renata, and their first encounter is nothing short of a chaotic mess. But at the same time, it's the first thing that's made James laugh in months.Complete
Echoes of Fate
When Harry Potter steps into an alternate dimension, he finds a world where his parents, James and Lily, are alive-and so is his doppelgänger, a version of himself who never faced Voldemort. In this alternate reality, the prophecy that once dictated Harry's destiny was never fulfilled, leaving the Wizarding World in a brutal, ongoing war against the Dark Lord. With Voldemort's defeat still uncertain, the prophecy "calls" Harry, the only one destined to end the war. However, this Harry is no longer the determined, battle-hardened hero of his own world-he's tired, seeking peace after years of conflict. The last thing he wants is to involve himself in another war, let alone with the parents he lost in his own world. Accompanied by Hermione, who accidentally followed him through the dimensional rift, Harry is forced to navigate this chaotic new reality. James and Lily want to bond with their son, but Harry feels disconnected, grieving the loss of his own parents. Meanwhile, his counterpart, a gentler version of himself, is eager to form a friendship with the Harry who arrived from another world. As the battle rages on and Dumbledore seeks to use Harry for the war's end, Harry is torn between staying and helping people he barely knows, or returning to the world where he belongs, leaving them to their uncertain fate. But in this world, the lines between family, destiny, and the choice to fight for a future blur in ways Harry never imagined. In this powerful exploration of love, fate, and identity, Harry and Hermione must decide: will they leave this world to its own devices, or will they once again rise to defeat Voldemort-even if it means embracing a life that was never meant to be theirs?Complete
