Some parts of this post will seem like ragebait, but I promise it's not.

Ezio is canonically one of the most important assassins (that's a debate to be had honestly, but when it comes to how influential they were to the brotherhood, Ezio is generally considered second only to Altaïr and maybe Bayek).

Anyhow, maybe this is just me misremembering stuff, it has been a while since I played the Ezio trilogy, but were the Borgia really that big of a threat in the first place? Compared to the likes of the British Empire and Abstergo, their concerns and plans seem a lot more local.

No doubt breaking the power of such a strong branch of the Templar Order was impressive, but it doesn't seem as important as some other feats from other assassins.

Thomas de Carneillon broke templar power in all of Europe for a century, Connor singlehandedly expelled the templars from the colonies after they had decades to consolidate their power, the Frye twins freed London from centuries of templar control in a single year.

Ezio and Altaïr are the 2 emblematic figures that made the brotherhood what it is, and again, I'm probably misremembering something, but compared to Altaïr, Ezio's impact seems a bit smaller.

Did the brotherhood become a global thing thanks to Altaïr, Ezio, or was it global before either of them? Honestly, the games after Syndicate made that aspect of the lore a bit confusing to me.

Already got everyone else on isle I, but I'm really struggling with Hilda Berg. Any tips?

After his resurrection, he discovers what happened to his childhood diary, and wonders why Harry would be petty enough to destroy it for no reason. He still punishes Lucius for having lost such a dear memento.

He gets progressively more confused during the Second War, as he sees Harry destroying the artefacts of the founders for no apparent strategic objective, though their loss doesn't hurt as much as losing Nagini.

The gaunt ring is in Harry's possession, and Voldemort is intent on recovering it before Harry destroys yet another piece of his past.

Just over a week ago from his perspective, he had been killed by Snape just like the both of them had planned. Now, he found himself living through 1995 a second time, shortly after the end of the tournament and Voldemort's resurrection. What initially looked like an opportunity to avoid some of the mistakes he made in his last years alive, had quickly turned into a nightmare, as he absorbed more and more of the differences between the 2 worlds.

"I'm sorry, could we go over this again?" Dumbledore asked his consultant while trying to maintain his composure (since when did goblins offer that kind of service?).

"I am paid by the hour, sir," the goblin (Meatknife, or something equally asinine) answered.

"I have been swindling money from the Potter vault for years."

"We have the statements for every transfer, sir."

"I have tried using part of said money to bribe the Dursleys into being more abusive, and when that didn't work, I put them under the Imperius."

"That is something you've done in the past, sir."

"I have bound Harry's magical core, which is apparently a thing that exists, with the intent of making him weaker."

"Also with the unintended consequence of making him a lot stronger than he otherwise would have been were he to unbind it, yes."

"I have insured that Sirius wouldn't have a trial, despite knowing that the Potter's will would prove his innocence."

"I believe my predecessor spent 3 hours trying to convince you not to execute that particular idea, sir."

"I have also set up a marriage contract between him and my goddaughter while they were both toddlers, and I have instructed her to use amortentia to force the relationship, despite knowing fully well what happens to children conceived under love potion."

"I believe you didn't plan for Harry to live long enough for that to be a problem, sir."

"I suppose I didn't," Dumbledore said while rubbing his forehead, trying to stave off the incoming headache.

It wouldn't be easy to undo his other self's baffling decisions. The man had an obsession with micromanaging, and Dumbledore was already nearly drowning trying to keep up with the various proxies (politics, muggle affairs, agriculture, what was the point in manipulating the damn agricultural output of Britain and its allies?).

'First things first, I need to get Harry off the Dursleys. The resentment from that alone on top of everything else will burn what little bridges I may still have with him. Assuming, of course, it isn't too late already...'

Dumbledore then looked back at the goblin, 'might as well ask for suggestions. Might make his outrageous hourly rate less not worth it.'

I saw a few fics with suicidal Snape, and the title's situation came to my mind.

There's nothing stopping anyone from trying that, right? Make one of the various types of love potion, use your own hair, and drink it yourself. How effective it is depends on the author, but it is a possibility.

Has anyone seen that situation used?

I see a lot of discussion on neglect fics, but rarely do I actually take the time to read them.

Genma realized his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth.

He looked around, and realized that most of the ninja watching the match were silent, as were a large portion of the civilians. All of them staring fixedly at Naruto.

Neji, much like the crowd, was also shocked and looking at Naruto. Naruto... looked more confused than anything, wondering why the proctor would get his name wrong like that.

Genma was most definitely screwed.

Elsewhere, the 3rd Hokage was rubbing his head, trying to stave off the incoming headache.

'In hindsight, replacing the previous proctor with a member of the Hokage Guard Platoon who served under Minato was a bad idea.'

Something where Dumbledore, Sirius and Remus didn't know that Harry existed/was alive. Or if they did, they highly opposed leaving him with the Dursleys.

Bonus points if Ron befriends Harry instead of his brother.

The only example I can think of is Becoming What You Pretend to Be, where it's found out that Harry is an orphan stolen by the Potters to take the real Harry's place while they went into hiding. Everyone thinks what the Potters did was shitty, even Sirius hates them for leaving him to rot in Azkaban, and recognizes the fake Harry as his actual godson due to everything they've been through.
