Much is made of Ron's jealousy over Harry's fame (and wealth, when applicable). On at least one occasion, I believe Harry points out to Ron at least once that he would gladly trade his fame, wealth, et cetera, for what Ron has always had: family, and the ability to live without being constantly harassed.
So. Take another of the classic "go back and do it over" fics. This time, both Ron and Harry are going back - maybe together, maybe separately, maybe even from separate timelines.
Only when they arrive, they discover that they've landed in each other's bodies. As infants. (Probably right around the time of the legendary scar-inducing Killing Curse.)
They both say they've wanted what the other one has had. Now they have the chance to find out what it's like.
