''Stealing Harry'' is an AltFic fan fiction written by Sam The Storyteller.

The work is very popular among Remus/Sirius shippers, though others enjoy it as well. Sadly, though ''Stealing Harry'' is complete, its sequel, ''Laocoon's Children,'' is a DeadFic. Proceed with caution.

It can be found [[http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/samvimes/SH.html here]] as well as many other places.

Stealing Harry is a fan fiction written by Sam The Storyteller. Its summary says it best "''Stealing Harry grabs canon by the throat and disembowls it. If Lucius Malfoy got to Peter Pettigrew before Sirius could, Sirius would be a bookshop owner, Remus would have a steady job, and one day, when Harry Potter was eight-and-a-half years old, they might kidnap him from the Dursleys...''"

'''Tropes in this work include:'''

* {{Abusive Parents}}: Vernon and Petunia. As in canon, they lock Harry in a tiny closet and allow Dudley to bully him relentlessly. Witnessing this treatment is what motivates Sirius to forcibly take custody of Harry and give him a happier life.
** Narcissa. Having lost Lucius to Azkaban, Narcissa is left in disgrace. She doesn't take her situation well and takes out her frequent, unpredictable bouts of anger out on poor Draco.

* AdultFear: Sirius and Remus must deal with the fact that Harry is the target of many dangerous people, including [[spoiler: Peter Pettigrew.]]

* {{Ascended Extra}}: Many minor characters that were only mentioned briefly in JKR's books are given bigger roles in the Stealing Harryverse. For example, Padma replaces Hermoine as {{The Smart Guy}} of Harry's group.
* {{Alt Fic}}
* BigBadDuumvirate: Bellatrix and Peter Pettigrew in the first story.

* {{Big Brother Bully}}: Though his cousin, not his brother, this trope fits Dudley to a tee.
* {{Big Friendly Dog}}: Harry thinks Padfoot is this. Padfoot is also a hit with other children, who love to play with him.
* {{BlessedWithSuck}}: Remus is a werewolf as in canon, which means that he has to deal with painfully transforming into a slavering beast once a month, discrimination from other wizards, and strange dreams of another universe where things went very wrong (i.e. the canonverse). On the upside, he is mostly impervious to starvation, curses, and injury, and possesses an amazing healing factor. The disturbing dreams that he gets tend to show up when Harry is in trouble, allowing Remus to predict when something bad is going to happen.
* {{The Bully}}: Sticking with canon, Dudley.

* {{Changeling Fantasy}}: Well, it is based on Harry Potter, but Harry finds out about being a wizard sooner in this fic.

* {{Cheerful Child}}: Harry. Despite years of living with the Dursleys, Harry is still a bright and inquisitive child. He gradually becomes more open and cheerful under Sirius and Remus' care.

* DeadFic: Laocoon's Children, the sequel, which leaves off in the third book and is officially confirmed dead.

* WouldHurtAChild: Bellatrix, Peter Pettigrew... Let's just say basically all the bad guys.

* BadassGay: Remus. Sirius also counts, although he's more Badass Bisexual.

* {{AscendedExtra}}: Many minor characters that were only mentioned briefly in JKR's books are given bigger roles in the Stealing Harryverse. For example, Padma replaces Hermoine as {{TheSmartGuy}} of Harry's group.

* [[GoodParents Good Parental Substitutes]]: Remus and Sirius.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[CompleteMonster Bellatrix]], Peter Pettigrew... Let's just say basically all the bad guys.

* ForgetsToEat: Remus. As a werewolf, he's [[NighInvulnerability impervious to essentially everything]], so being hungry doesn't effect him. [[spoiler: Combined with his inability to hold down a job, this leads to him nearly starving to death.]]

* ForgetsToEat: Remus. As a werewolf, he's [[NighInvulnerability impervious to essentially everything]] but fire, silver, beheading, and other werewolves, so being hungry doesn't effect him. [[spoiler: Combined with his inability to hold down a job, this leads to him nearly starving to death.]]
