We all know the trope: your favorite character goes back in time and hijinks ensue. (Even if this goes against the rules of Time Travel established by this universe, it's a fun story element and a great way to see characters interact that wouldn't otherwise) This is a collection of the best fics with this theme. They can be of any genre, have any shipping, or gen. Most will be completed, and multi-chapter. Some AU.

Harry Potter and the Temporal Beacon by willyolioleo reviews
At the end of 3rd year, Hermione asks Harry for some help with starting an interesting project. If a dark lord's got a 50-year head start on you, maybe what you need is a little more time to even the playing field. AU, Timetravel, HHr, mild Ron bashing. Minimizing new powers, just making good use of existing ones.

The Last Peverell by animerocker646 reviews
Being the Master of Death made life difficult, especially when you need to save all of magical Europe from inbreeding its way to extinction.
