An old favorite of mine has suddenly come back from the dead:
Realizations by Wishweaver, which had appeared thoroughly dead for the last... jeeze, near decade? (Just checked, yes, November 2010) has reappeared on Archive of our Own. Better yet, Wishweaver is rewriting/updating it. The AO3 copy is only up to 7 chapters as I type this (but when I first came across it last night it was only 4 chapters); if you want to see all 36 chapters of the original, it's here.
For those unfamiliar with it, it's a post-Goblet of Fire AU Harry Potter fic, in which Harry comes home after the end of the school year to find that the Dursleys have picked up and moved to Australia without telling him. He ends up staying at the Leaky Cauldron -- working for old Tom to pay it off, with a bare-minimum disguise and the name "Jim" to hide his identity on the Alley (and he soon picks up the nickname "Sparky"). But it's when a pair of American Muggle children wander into Cauldron, though, that his life gets thoroughly turned upside down...
