My Harry Potter fic recommendations...

Harry Potter/Severus Snape



 
A Nick in Time by Tira Nog
Summary: Harry Potter and Severus Snape awake to an unusual development on Boxing Day.
Pairing: HP/SS (friendship/pre slash)
Rating: PG
Genre: Drama
Status: Complete and the sequel can be found on her account on that site and is called Growing Pains
Comment: Possibly my favourite Snarry fic.  This is why we all read fanfiction and prefer it to the original books.



 
Secret Guardian Angel by nerd-girl
Summary: Harry is aged by 10 years and it's up to the snarky Potions Master to find the cure, but they end up finding each other HPxSS slash.
Rating: R
Genre: Romance/Drama
Status: Complete
Comment:
 



Summary: Angst, dark. Sev has many secrets, loving Harry is just one of them. Can Tolkien's words, a Kin Bond Sword and the spirit of Alexian, help Harry defeat the Dark Lord and find true love? Set in Scotland after graduation.,
Rating: PG13
Genre: Romance/Drama
Status: Complete
Comment: I really liked this one but found that the sequel tailed off a bit in terms of quality. This one is well worth the read and no sequel is really necessary.



 
Season of Healing by Dien Alcyone
Summary: Circumstances lead Harry to stay with Snape for the summer before seventh year.
Rating: PG13
Genre: General/Romance
Status: WIP (HIATUS) but still definitely worth a read.



 
Crumbling Pedestal by ShivaniBlue
Summary: When Voldemort tries to force Harry to duel in the graveyard at the conclusion of the Triwizard Tournament, things take an entirely different direction as Fate steps in to meddle.
Rating: PG13
Genre: General/Drama
Status: Complete
Comment: This was an interesting take on the timetravel!Harry fic.  The theory of blood magic was interesting and the characterisation believable.
 
 
 
 
 




Severus Snape/ Remus Lupin
 
The Nine Lives of Severus Snape by The Treacle Tart
Summary: SLASH Severus goes exploring in his new animagus form and finds more than he bargained for
Rating: PG13
Genre: General/Humour
Status: Complete
Comment: This cracked me up.  Shortly after he transforms, Snape's thoughts run along these lines
"Dear Merlin, why hadn't he thought of this years ago? He could spy on the Gryffindors! He could finally catch them in something. Proof of the misdeeds they had been committing for years was within his grasp. Evidence of their complete disregard for the rules could be easily obtained. He could utterly destroy the little degenerates.

Oh, rapture!"

 

 

 





Harry Potter/ Tom Riddle
 
 
Abandon by Batsutousai and its sequel Reclaim
Summary: COMPLETE!HarryVoldemort, OOC, AU, postOotP Abandoned on the streets of London, 16 year old Harry Potter must find a way to survive. What's the BoyWhoLived to do?
Rating: R
Genre: Drama/Humour
Status: Complete
Comment:  Although the writing isn't quite as polished as some other fics and we all know that this pairing is about the most unlikely possible, this fic had me cracking up all the way through and for some reason elements of this fic seemed almost ... plausible.


The Forgotten by Batsutousai
Summary: What if Voldemort wins the “Final Battle,” but Harry Potter survives? Living in the Muggle world with no memory of his past, can Harry find the key to saving them all
Rating: R
Genre: Romance/Mystery
Status: Complete
Comment: This is actually a very plausible plotline with a well characterised Voldemort and Harry, dealing with the kind of problems Voldemort might have after he's won.  After all, Slytherins are nothing if not ambitious.





Het
 
 
Interwoven: the Seamstress and the Lovable Stray by Katinka
Summary: Britain's last Weaver struggles to finish her first Invisibility Cloak during the year of the Triwizard Tournament. Along the way, she happens to befriend a certain canine that has been lolling about Hogsmeade. This story was written prior to the release of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
Pairing: Sirius/OFC
Rating: PG13
Genre: Romance
Status: Complete
Comment: This takes place during PoA.  This is one of the best OCs I have ever read.
 
 
 
 
Summary: Harry left the wizarding world halfway through his seventh year. Hiding in the muggle world for almost eighteen years he is suddenly dragged back as his children are sent their Hogwarts letters. Why did he leave? And does he really what to go back?
Pairing: HP/OFC
Rating: PG
Genre: General
Status: Complete
Comment: Harry does tend towards superpower!Harry here but the writer deals well with the moral aspects of the power.  Mione5 always seems to write stuff with a real emotional kick behind it.
 
 
 
By Any Other Name by Didodikali
Summary (provided by me): Marauders era at Hogwarts.  Lily is surviving her last few yeras at school with the help and hindrance of friends both Slytherin and Gryffindor
Pairing: Severus/Lily
Rating: mild R
Genre: Humour
Status: Complete
Comment: Honestly, if I could draw like Didodikali, I'm not sure I'd be writing.  The fic is illustrated throughout by the writer and illustrated well.  And her Sev and Lily are perfect for the fic, written alternating between their POVs.
(Quote - Lily's POV: "What I need is someone who is not the least bit chivalrous, someone who has no compunctions about causing pain in order to win even against a pretty girl. And he's also got to play a more than passable Beater.... There is only one student in this school who fits this description)




Gen Fics
 
 
Summary: Harry learns some disturbing family history and returns to Hogwarts early before his 6th yr for Apprentice Studies
Pairing: none
Rating: R
Genre: Angst/Action/Adventure
Status: WIP
Comment: I have to admit that I have soft spot for apprentice fic - there simply aren't enough out there.  This fic has Harry apprenticed to Sev, living with other apprentices from other houses and a lot of thoughts on pureblood culture and traditions.  Shame its WIP but the theories alone would have made it worth reading.
