Summary
As Harry tells Tom Riddle's diary,
The Voice is in my head, but it's not mine. It sort of says what's going on around me and sometimes forces me to do things, and I think it makes me sort of go on autopilot and then describes what happened, like "Harry kept absent-mindedly picking up the diary and turning the pages. He was sure he had never heard the name T. M. Riddle before, but it still seemed to mean something to him..." Except I don't feel like it should mean something, and it's always annoying when the Voice says I feel something and I don't, and if I'm annoyed, I'm paying attention, and if I'm paying attention, I can do things like write to you instead of just being on autopilot.
As Tom tells Harry,
Okay. So bear with me, because this is going to sound mad, but it sounds like we've been cursed somehow. My best guess is that it's a tynged. The kind of curse fairy tales are built on. In this case, it literally sounds like we're in a story. You're the hero, and I'm the villain. With that being the case, I would like to propose an alliance. Help me get out of this book and I'll help you find a way to break whatever hold it has over us.
This is easier said than done.

Stranger than Fiction: Prisoner of Azkaban by PseudoLeigha

Summary
Harry Potter escaped the Chamber of Secrets at the end of his second year. He killed the monster, a fifty-foot long, incredibly deadly snake. He saved the girl, his best mate's baby sister. Of course he did, he's the hero of the story, he didn't have a choice. Literally.
The Narrator still controls Harry's every move, at least whenever anything important is happening. As it turns out, Tom Riddle isn't dead, the bloke is like a bloody cockroach, and he's determined to use Harry to figure out what the hell is going on with the Story and make it stop. Which Harry doesn't actually disagree with in principle, being the hero of the story is almost as bad as being the villain, but the last thing he needs is more voices in his bloody head.
On the plus side, at least Tom can make the Dursleys lay off him for once.
Silver linings, right?

Summary
Harry Potter escaped the Dementors at the end of his third year. He saved his godfather. He saved a goddamned hippogriff. But for the first time, he couldn't save everyone.
Someone died who wasn't supposed to die, and it's all the Author's fault. The Author messed up, you see. Their Story is projected on a world, and it can only change so much about how that world works.
Cracks have appeared in the Narrator's control for the first time. It still controls Harry's every move, but the settings, the context, its hold there is weakening, and more and more people are going off script as changes accumulate. Harry and Riddle have been given an inch. How far they can make it stretch remains to be seen. More importantly, they've been given hope. It came at a high price, but they know now that the Author can mess up.
And seeing as the Author doesn't really seem to know anything about the world they're influencing, it's probably only a matter of time until they mess up again.
