Oh God Not Again! by Sarah1281 is a Harry Potter time travel fix-it fic, and it’s an absolute riot. I was cackling out loud from start to finish. The pacing of the story is consistent, never feeling rushed or dragging on, and the characters are entertaining but also unexpectedly creative, engaging, and surprising in their interactions. Harry is overpowered in this story, which isn’t to everyone’s taste, but it’s a trope which I enjoy.

The narrative seamlessly weaves together action and dialogue, striking a perfect balance that keeps the reader hooked. The highlights for me, are undoubtedly Harry's conditioning of poor Cedric, causing him to develop a phobia of graveyards, and his Patronus-worthy line – “Tom Riddle. I’m fairly sure you’re a paedophile.” The inclusion of the psychic scar to cover Harry’s future knowledge is a stroke of genius that I haven’t seen in any other stories, making for several hilarious interactions with other characters.

This story is complete at 150,710 words over 50 chapters, and it’s available on both FFN and AO3. If you enjoy a fix-it fics and over the top humour, overlaying a creative, well-balanced narrative, you should definitely check out this story. ( )
