It is time for the second round of polling, and as I am wont to do from time to time, I have been mulling things over with regards to my stories.

Of course, both Veteran and Avalon are included below, but I had a similar brainwave to when I combined two stories to create Written in the Stars.

It is a mix of Veteran and another story I have which is a Harry/Amelia Bones pairing, one that has been requested quite highly.

In this, Harry would be sent back to the sixties, just as Voldemort returns to Britain, intent on avoiding the war, but inevitably finding himself dragged into it.

Amelia will have her own backstory as to why she became an auror, and her path will cross with Harry's along the way.

She will be a 'play-by-the-rules' woman at first, but her character will go through significant changes throughout the story, due in no small part to her time with Harry.

Harry will be a crafty veteran with more than a little sprinkling of James/the Marauders in him making for an interesting mix. His own backstory will of course be explored also.

This will be a fun ride, one that I think all of you will truly enjoy as Harry finds his way in a new world with new challenges and Amelia Bones becomes her own main character, often frustrated with an enigmatic man she just can't seem to avoid.

Of course, I have many other plans, perhaps more feasible, for a Harry/Andromeda pairing.

Let me know what you think below!

Avalon!!!!

IbraMo Evil

my vote is for veteran ( harry's pairing looks lovely) , although harry/amelia also sounds interesting

Oliver Saunders

Avalon sounds like it will be very interesting! Whilst I love all of your stories there's only so many times you can do vs Voldemort and it can get boring and predictable. That's why I really enjoyed WRTBA due to Grindelwald and a brand new theme

PsyChung

Well the Harry/Amelia story takes instant 60% of the votes... lol

odzoo

I don’t think the one I voted for has ever won. Since I’ve loved all the winners, I may not have a qualified opinion. The other possibility is that all of Lee’s stories are just really good. I’m very intrigued by the Harry/Amelia story idea, so I voted accordingly.

Ross

Any idea when the poll closes?

Michael Hill

Avalon, Still has got my Vote - still a much fresher take on time travel story. to a much loved period in ancient British folklore.

It's a tough choice, as Harry/Amelia feels like a good safe option, whereas Avalon could be Outstanding if pulled off correctly, but Dreadful if not. Veteran seems too depressing - I'd rather Harry progress like in WTRBA or HTB, without love interests dropping dead every other chapter.

Josh Watson

All this Harry/Amelia talk but it’s too safe. I want to see the risk that is Avalon and see the greatness it becomes. I have no doubt Lee can do it well.

Celtic Bard

I was initially very very excited for Veteran, but I think the 1960s setting would be a very interesting scenario to explore. Wasn't there something like squibs rights marches happening at that time in canon? So yeah, my vote is first Harry/Amelia and then Veteran. As for Avalon. it might be too foreign of a setting to be truly Harry Potter and too few real canon characters to feel like Harry Potter too. Anyway, that's my two cents

FunInception

You should do another poll after this about whether or not to do the winner of this poll or the ASOIAF story full time.

Snewp

Your HP stories are always high quality, but I am definitely enjoying you branching out into ASOIAF more lately. I don’t want to be negative, because like I said, your stories are great, but comparing your recent HP chapters to the ASOIAF chapters, you seem to maybe be a bit tired of HP, as the writing in your ASOIAF story feels more vibrant and engaging.

Woolleymammoth

Can I suggest instead of being an Auror, Harry is a curse breaker. There are so few cursebreaker Harry fics.

Euniquity

Avalon sounds great, would love a totally new setting to play with. Something that will look unfamiliar but fun.

SerKaevyn

My vote still goes to Avalon, as it feels like it'd be fresher than doing yet another Harry vs. Voldemort, that said I'm interested in the Harry/Amelia story as well. At least going back to the sixties will be, hopefully, slightly different than the multitude of going back to the seventies fics.

Tyler T

I have been following your work long enough to know that whatever you do will be great. That said I’m going for Avalon, you have almost exclusively done Harry vs Voldemort, so I am eager to see something new.

RyanMK666

Well there goes the hope of the trilogy of the black sisters ): however I like the concept of the Amelia pairing story.

RyanMK666

I back that, there’s just not many at all. And of the ones that are, they feel rushed most of the time.

Gintoki Sakata

Avalon merely for the Morgana pairing, yet I have a feeling it'll be like harry vs evil Dumbledore who's more powerful kinda thing

Sunny

Veteran. Andromeda needs her screen time lol. Anyway, all are great options, with the Amelia one at 60% now. Re, the sixties story, you've got to make it more harder for Harry. I reckon losing knowledge of the future and his memories will prevent it becoming another time-travel fix up. P.S. I really would like you to do a story where Harry ( no memories, but knowledge of magic) is sent back in time (how you want it) where he has a glimpse of the past for like 5-10yrs before he's sent back to the present. The premise would be a friendship/respect b/w Harry & Tom where they excel at magic in school, but then when Harry's sent back to the present and it focuses on Harry remembering who he is and was and dealing with the fact that he has to kill his friend. You could have conversations between the 2, which would be fun, as I really like the version of Tom in Flower for a Soul.

WaltD

I love the fact that there is now a Harry/Amelia option and it does feel like it will be a delightful read. Also am really happy that there will be a focus on Harry’s marauder crafty side. Love it

I think the problem is utilising a Cursebreaker arc alongside the Voldemort arc - essentially, you're asking for 2 stories in 1 fanfic, which will always feel disjointed. For example, take The Archeologist - "Yharnam's Catacombs" remains my favourite chapter from any piece of written work, but the Voldemort arc is awful - not out of neglect, but because there's no entertaining way to build up to Voldie's defeat, short of having Inuyasha enfuriate Voldie to death. Realistically, the best way to write a Cursebreaker fic is to write a Cursebreaker fic, not a killing-Voldie fic.

Justin Herndon

I'd be in on the Harry/Amelia setup, there have been a couple of good ones but mostly remain unfinished. That said, I've really been enjoying your move into ASOIAF and would love to see that continue as your mainline fic, or a crossover with HP making his way into ASOIAF.. those are some of my favorites.

Vninga

I went Harry/Bones in this one, interesting pairing to pull off. That said I'd love to see a non Harry vs. Voldu fic from you. For Avalon im hopeful you get more comfortable with a more medieval setting via the ASOIF fic. I'd also be very interested in a Harry travels to another country fic with an entire made up adversary. Maybe the US or Japan/India/China or something either as an adult or child going to their equivalent of Hogwarts. Would be interesting to see.

Robert

I have been wanting a Harry/bones version for a long time….

Home of the Brave

The way you described it, it sounds like it would be a great story. A highly skilled war veteran with a dash of Marauder mentality sounds like this Harry won't be all business and there will be some fun stuff thrown in.

Albert Botha

I think a version where Harry really leans into the stone's ability to call people back would be great. Get lessons from all the greatest wizards in history, good and evil. Merlin, Emic, Rasputin etc. Not sure how the timeline would work. Perhaps time travel post a loss at Hogwarts in his 7th year.
