    Status: Work in Progress (68k)

    Genre: Time Travel

    Author Summary

    "The war had ended, and they had all returned. But not him.

    He'd been left behind.

    What remained was a piece for which there was no longer a place.

    His reforging came not from the hard-won peace. No. Instead, he found his hope in the past.

    While excavating an ancient chamber, he became the one unearthed. Cast into the eve of the First Wizarding War, a relic of the future that would never be."


    A Relic of the Future

    Writing is solid. Features a Harry who is kind of a curse breaker, but also something like a magical Indiana Jones?He's thrown back in time to the Marauders era while excavating an ancient chamber. Some really cool concepts and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Update rate so far is about 2 chapters a month

    So, the melodrama can be a bit much, but I fucking adore that shit so. Also, the formatting with past and present thoughts is... weird? I thought it worked well when Harry, wizard #2, and Chad Goblin were infiltrating the ancient roman Fort, and the past thoughts of Harry and his... mentor? Altogether though, clicked the fuck out of subscribe. I liked the bait and switch with the egyptian ushabti and the chapter of implications that Harry is gonna enslave Rita's soul in there, before it just turning out to be a "less barbaric, heh, trust me sis" version of the unbreakable vow to use younger Rita as a propaganda mouthpiece. I love the Dumbledore and adore the Hagrid and if we don't get more Hagrid I will comment with a frowny face. He always has been, and always will be, a purer soul that we don't deserve.

    Easy 4 for me. Could also easily go up or down. Along with many of these back-travel stories, it will depend a lot on how Lord Voldemort is depicted. It's somewhat refreshing that we've seen him... but once. I ranted here about stories that show us LV in every... single... chapter, and it's just don't.

    Perfect. Hagrid basically noogied a Kelpie into friendship. After thinking he might need to strip butt ass naked and swim in after a literal sea-horse that has fangs because he doesn't have swimwear.
