The Hogwarts Strike Team by Myracle is a Harmonian Peggy Sue fic, currently at 85k words and seven chapters, the last of which is set in the summer after First Year and can best be described without spoilers as "Where the Canon Train goes whooshing by into tot night on the other set of tracks." It's occasionally a bit gory, I woot, (Pre-timehax there's bad guys dying left and right, then the bathroom troll and later assassination of some Death Eaters) but less so than, say, playing Skyrim or the average gangster movie.
Also, Dumbledore is good and mostly competent but far less informed than some portrayals, so you don't have to sit through the usual moustache-twirling Stupid Evil cliches. It's probably not for everyone, but aside from preempting the Crapilogue with the premise of Voldilocks having played silly buggers with Britain's ley lines in ways that, whether it was his original purpose or not, ended up being a doomsday booby trap after his canon death. Somewhere close to a decade passes from the "Final Battle" to the end of Ch1, laying the groundwork for why extreme measures are needed and the stress of dealing with the problems to break up the canon couples.
It's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I find it a pleasant enough brew, and it avoids "soul bond" cliches as well despite having what could be the most valid excuse for them I've yet seen, in terms of justifying something along those lines with on-camera action.
