Hi folks,
have been intending to make these recommendations for a while. Certainly the series by Arkodian. Especially when folks seek
creative uses of the mind arts.
The story by Tyrannic_puppy is simply amazing..one at a time.
The Arkodian series is called what goes around comes around.
four stories so far, the fourth work is almost done.
Speaking personally, there is allot of richness here.
At age 9, harry discovers a passenger in his mind, the essence of
Harry Potter, from the future. He is not say flooded with
memories, more like an exchange of insights, at least at first. Including information about his magic, and how he can slightly
impact his surroundings, the actions of those he lives with.
One positive is his learning via said essence about grimold place
and the greater information about magic there. Another? When
Vernon tries to take a swing at Harry, Dudley is motivated to step
in. Results in Vernon getting booted from the house, as he hurts
Dudley instead.
Both Petunia and Dudley are squibs, something we learn after
Vernon is gone.
Over time we learn more about essence Harry's future, mundane
end up learning of magic for example, due to ministry mistakes. The insights help Harry make better choices early on leading to a
much more prepared Harry.
Harry also, once he gets to school, teaches his broader circle of
friends about the mind arts as well. Hannah is especially
talented, Harry his friends across house lines, making for
greater detail for characters we learn little of in cannon. Then
there is the world building.
Harry becomes friends with..a hag, in knockturn who teaches him
old ways magic, Wilde natural magic. He in turn starts to help
those living there create a better life for themselves. There
are changes from the books as a result, Diary tom
entraps..someone else entirely. First time I have read this
character becoming his victim in fact.
Its a really fine series, cannot recommend it enough.
For the other recommendation, now that elfish welfare is
complete, tyrannic_puppy is both working on a new story, and
fortunately updating an older one. That latter is called Harry
headlines at Glastonbury
Summary:
Since the war, Harry has taken to exploring long-forgotten
places as a chance to escape his extensive and unwanted fame. But
what he found in the depths of Glastonbury Tor will change not
only his own life, but the future of all.
Story starts with Dobby working along side Harry on this
dig..dressed like a house ELF Indiana Jones. Its adorable.
Work is a cross with the stargate universe. I have never seen
the series, but amazingly enough the author includes a viewing
guide letting you know which show in which series influences what
happens in the chapter.
Truly a page turner, rich characterizations, with the weaving
between hp and sg providing fantastic plot elements.
And, if you are a stargate universe fan already? You will be
most pleased indeed I imagine.
Hope these give someone new reading material.

I can't even see the first one, because you have to have an ao3 account. I've tried to sign up three times, and never gotten a response. I've had some indication that there was a response at least once, but it's never made it to my inbox, nor could I find it in my spam trap.
?
The second story I have read, but it had less than half the number of chapters it's currently at. Back on the reading list it goes, I guess.

Yes. The one great thing about ao3, is that actual humans run the site, responding to contact emails.
If memory serves, there is a category under the FAQ section about resetting your password. The final option giving you a way to contact support, if the answers do not match what you need.
I suggest you contact ao3 support.

Let me know which email you wish to use.
As Cindy's example illustrates, I suggest you choose one with a firm computer tie..ao3 is very careful these days.

If I remember the difference correctly (I think it's been more than 20 years since I've read An Enemy of the State), I'm getting more Eastern in attitude, but more Western in proclivities and capabilities, as I age. Although I am trying to get in better shape again, which should improve my capabilities a bit.
?
Eastern is the one with all the weapons (and I mean, all the weapons), right?

wheels

Yes, exactly.? Flint is Eastern Sect, kind of American in sensibilities with ALL the weapons, Western is Tolive, more Oriental, plays economic judo.
I got lucky in reading Enemy of the State first.? Have a copy on my bookshelf, in fact.? Need to see if I can find e-copies.

Hi all, I took the fact that I got pinged by Reddit with these recommendations *as I was first reading this message* as a sign from the muses of fanfiction that I needed to immerse myself in Potterverse world building, and they, reddit and you were So Very right About Arkodian’s series: it is bloody fantastic, and I join the ranks of it’s heralds willingly. Haven’t yet got to tyrannic_puppy, but if Arkodian is an example of your bookmarks then please add me - I’m OrdinaryMortal on AO3!

They're available on Amazon, but you can't download Kindle books to anything but a Kindle device or Kindle app anymore - Amazon changed things just over a week ago. I'm not fond of buying ebooks that end up not being actual purchases, but there are a lot of books that are now prohibitive to acquire in hardcopy. The most recent ones I've had my nose rubbed in are the Papa Schimmelhorn stories by Reginald Bretnor - I used to have the two paperbacks that I was aware of, but I lost them somewhere over the years, and prices on one of them run up into the hundreds of dollars. They're probably available on some of the sketchy "library" sites running on Russian and other servers, but I've always been leery of using them. So, I may end up with Kindle books, anyway.
