    I'm looking for anything good involving all sorts of time travel screwery, the more non linear and complicated the better. What have you got?

    Sounds like you're referring to Retroactive

    Harry takes a chance in hope of saving Sirius from the Veil, assisted by Luna and some stolen Time Turners. Working with Luna comes with its own complications, though.

    The grandfather of all time spin stories would probably be HP and the Wastelands of Time.

    Take a deep breath, count back from ten… and above all else – don't worry! It'll all be over soon. The world, that is. Yet for Harry Potter the end is just the beginning. Enemies close in on all sides, and Harry faces his greatest challenge of all - Time.

    Both are written by DLP members. Of course, saying it that way is like saying Seaman Earl Paddock and General George Patton were both veterans of World War 2. True, but the scale of involvement...

    I didn't know you wrote that, IMO it's got better pacing than all of HE&tSP.
    I'd only read Wastelands until he was with Dumbledore under the catacombs...? and it stopped updating and I never got back into it. Is Heartlands worth it?

    Wastelands is definitely worth reading in full.

    Probably the most extreme case of Time Turner abuse in fanfiction would have to be the Draco/ and Fleur wedding in Lens of Sanity's An Old and New World, starting at the end of Chapter 25. If you've read it, you know what I'm talking about.

    Not exactly time turner abuse as towards the end it ignores the prime principle of not changing anything. And it's not exactly a fic more of a minimally expanded upon plot bunny. But it has the consecutive jumps that interact with each other that makes time turner fics interesting to me. Also I'm posting it in a hope that someone will go "Hey why hasn't anyone written a proper Quantum leap type fic?"
