lunabee34One of my older stories, Five Things That Never Happened to Simon Tam, has gotten a lot of attention the last week. Kudos out the wazoo. I haven't written a lot of fic in the last years, and it's really gratifying that people are still reading those older stories.
Some reccage!
The Best Revenge and its sequel The Best Revenge: The Time of the Basilisk by Arsinoe de Blassinville
HP; Snape/OC; Harry-centric gen; LOOOOOOONG
This is a great sub-genre example of those smart and independent Harry stories I was talking about awhile ago. Here, Snape discovers Harry's Hogwarts letter before it is delivered (Cupboard Under the Stairs? Buzzah?), and he and Minerva intervene. I love this story. It doesn't deny Snape's foibles but allows him to be much more of a well rounded person than the series ever did. I also really enjoy the take on Voldemort in this story. Very plotty, nice character insights and commentary on canon.
Birth of the Serpent King by Kiera Marcos
HP; Harry/Draco; medium
Here, smart and independent Harry is enabled by Draco and Narcissa Malfoy, Lucius having given his life to save Harry's during the TriWizard Tournament. Lots of lovely world building here. The Malfoys introduce Harry to all the wizarding heritage that Dumbledore has kept secret from Harry. This is totally a "Harry is chock full to the brim of awesome power" stories, but I was thorougly delighted with it.
We Belong Series by MJ2007
HP; George/OC; super long yet never long enough :(
This links you to the author's profile page on ff.net; the series is accessible from there. OMG,kaleecat, I love you forever for linking me to this story because this story is exactly the kind of story that hits all my kinks HARD!!! Now, I know what some of you are going to say. It's super OC heavy. Lots of OCs. But they are cool OCs. I care about them. And they do not ever supplant canon characters but rather support them. I LOVE GEORGE WEASLEY! I LOVE RON WEASLEY! I LOVE GEORGE WEASLEY! I LOVE ALL WEASLEYS! WEASLEYS! This fic made me cry pretty much constantly, equally from joy and angst. It is now one of my favorites of ever. Ever. Ever. The basic premise is that Fred Weasley had a son he never knew about; now that he is dead, George must take on the role of parenthood.
