Hellooooooo guys...

So, today i'm here to show you, in my opinion the best time travel fanfics!!
So, let's do it!

In first, I think is impossible talk about time travel fanfics and not to mention "Delenda Est"

Delenda Est by Lord Silvere: That was the first time travel fanfic I read!

Harry is a prisoner, and Bellatrix has fallen from grace. The accidental activation of Bella's treasured heirloom results in another chance for Harry. It also gives him the opportunity to make the acquaintance of the young and enigmatic Bellatrix Black as they change the course of history.


Passageways by jerrway66: (This one is NOT complete, it seems to be abandoned, but I still highly recommend you read it.)

Hogwarts Castle decides to interfere in the lives of two of its students to change the past and future from a terrible war and giving the pair an opportunity to find something more than just protection within its walls. AU Story, Political, Fed-up Harry, OC Dumbledore.


Wind Shear by Chilord:

A sharp and sudden change that can have devastating effects. When a Harry Potter that didn't follow the path of the Epilogue finds himself suddenly thrown into 1970, he settles into a muggle pub to enjoy a nice drink and figure out what he should do with the situation. Naturally, things don't work out the way he intended.


The last Peverell by animerocker646 (Fem!Harry)

Being the Master of Death made life difficult, especially when you need to save all of magical Europe from inbreeding its way to extinction. At least Death was enjoying watching his Master attempt this over and over again. Harry didn't find it nearly as entertaining. Well, tenth times the charm right? (FemHarry)


Stepping Back by TheBlack's Resurgence

Post-OOTP. The episode in the DOM has left Harry a changed boy. He returns to the Dursley's to prepare for his inevitable confrontation with Voldemort, but his stay there is very short-lived. He finds himself in the care of people who he has no choice but to cooperate with and they give him a startling revelation: Harry must travel back to the 1970's to save the wizarding world.



All according to plan by LysandraLeigh: (This is "inverted", Bellatrix time travels for Harry's third year! It is a mention of honor.)

Thirteen-year-old Bella Black intended to go back in time to start a war in service to her patron goddess. Ritual magic goes awry and she finds herself in 1993, faced with a failing House of Black, an insane alter ego, and a Dark Lord on the rise. Chaos ensues. Title drop. (A collaboration by LeighaGreene and inwardtransience)

Timely Errors
Harry Potter never had much luck, being sent to his parents’ past should have been expected. 'Complete' Time travel fic.

 

A Long Journey Home for me and it's not a particularly close call. Probably abandoned by now, but I love it.

 

That's probably Nightmares of Futures Past (pretty much abandoned, unfortunately the author was hit with some serious health problems, but he still pops out the odd chappie every 3-4 years.)

 

I'll second resurrect the living, im enjoying that and its still semi regularly updating.

Backwards with purpose i was a bit meh on but i think im the outlier since everyone ive ever met raves about it!

I've got this one in my favorite list on fanfiction but cant remember it too well: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6671596/1/A-Necessary-Gift-A-Harry-Potter-Story

 

I still reread or start to Backwards with Purpose 1. 2 I was always iffy about. Sounds like the perfect time killer on slow work days tbh.

 

I concur, the plot was clever and original enough, and the climax powerful and well built. One good old staple of the genre, if a bit mushy. Part III, OTOH, is better left unread.

 

There was also one where Harry went back, created a company with Remus and few other people, finished Voldemort and left it to the young Harry. Can’t remember the name, but as far as fics go, it was fairly enjoyable. If someone remembers, please link it.

 

Sarah1281's Oh God Not Again is probably my favorite time-travel fic, because it doesn't take itself seriously. There are some decent ones out there, but even the classics are guilty pleasures for me. That's mostly what I read anyway, so it's no big deal.

 

It was good in the beginning but went to shit somewhere in the middle.

 

Literally right when they time travel forwards again. That story ruled when it was set in the 70s.

 

Exactly, it went from 4/5 to 2/5 in the blink of an eye.

 

Has to be Concentric Wavelengths by Voice of the Nephilim. Bit different from the usual time travel story in that it uses only canon style time travel and is set entirely within the Department of Mysteries. Still the most intense and atmospheric story in that genre I've read and the plot is very tight.

It was written for one of the quarterly challenges way back when, iirc.

 

Can I ask why you think it got so much worse? I hear this opinion often, and had it myself when reading it, but I don't usually see people explaining why.

 

Mostly because I completely hate the children in the alternate future. The Potter kids are annoying as fuck.

 

I enjoy Delenda Est, even the 'sucky' second half in the future. Harry & Bellatrix are a lot of fun, together or apart, so the Potter girls being annoying doesn't sink it for me. They are a big step down from the older generation from the first half though.
