I like it! Go-backs are one of my favorite genre's and this one is most unusual. It encompasses all the elements of the challenge, but places the onus on an entirely unexpected person.
Rose is, as she indicated, in a difficult position. Her interference will end up in her demise, but place the elements for change in the wizarding world.
I share your disgust for the crapilogue. After all that, after everything that has happened in Harry's lifetime, nothing has changed. Draco Malfoy is still the pureblood bigot he's always been. His parents (and likely all the Deez) have once again managed to buy their freedom, and given that Shacklebolt who is considered by all to be a scrupulous man, is minister either casts some doubt on his ethics, or means that the minister's office is entirely figurehead. and the putrebloods still control the wizarding world. Disgusting!
Rose has a hell of a job ahead of her, both in circumventing Dumbledore's plans to sacrifice Harry for his own ideals, AKA 'the greater good',and Molly's plans for the Potter fortune, and keeping the whole thing quiet.
Your plan makes sense and holds a great deal of promise.
I have placed this on my alerts list and hope top read more at your convenience.

Hello Alorkin,
Thanks for the wonderful review.
I had hoped that my twist on the "Go-backs" was unique I am glad that you liked this change.
Unfortunately for Rose, Fate is punishing her for her parents faults and failings.
My biggest problem with the crapilogue is absolutely nothing changed at least the end of a show like Buffy you could see that the events had changed the characters and world they lived in. We learn nothing about what the main characters of Harry Potter do in the years between the penultimate chapter and the epilogue.
In the first few years Fate will help but once Harry begins school at Hogwarts it will become very difficult to circumvent Dumbledore but by then Harry will be much harder to manipulate.
It is nice to receive kind words from an author of your caliber, thanks.
Regards
