While I overall consider the first real big “rewrite” of my potter fanfic to be a disaster on several fronts; one good thing I added was a snippet of a near-climatic scene at the start of it (Voldemort proclaiming he had the elixir of immortality) along with “two years earlier...” line. On my originals, which I marked in AO3 as a “series”, I start with a quote from a future historian, which sets up the atmosphere; all stories are timestamped at the start, though the years are renumbered to avoid an explicit earth-year connection (which can present challenges in dialogue).
