In some fanfics, James and Lily giving Harry away might be due to a prophecy that requires Harry to be raised away from them for a certain power to develop. So they make the heart - wrenching decision to give him to a family that has some special connection to an ancient magic that can safeguard him.

They could have adventures exploring different realms of heaven. Maybe there are places full of magical creatures they've never seen before. They might be on a quest to find a special kind of magic that can help Harry in some way, even from the afterlife.

Harry would often be a main character in these fanfictions. Since it's about bashing his parents, his reaction and how he copes with the new view of them is a big part of the story. Another could be Sirius Black. He was very close to James, so fanfictions might explore his feelings towards the bashing of his best friend.
