A number of fic recs that are in the HP-verse (and a smaller number that aren't)
Hooray for Honda. Great meme, and it allows us to pimp some of our favorite fanfiction from other-than-HP fandoms. Personally, I only ever read two: HP and Daria, but here goes.
In no particular order:
1. Harry Potter And The Summer Of Change » by lorddwar Harry returns to Privet Drive and Tonks helps him become the man and hero he must be to survive. The bestest Harry/Tonks in the action genre, ever. The first and best Lord-Baron Potter-Black. It kicks ass. It takes names. I know, it's my default rec. But there's a reason for that.
1a. Lizardlaugh: Birthday Boy »
The hot, summer air was thick with dust and sweat and the smell of charred flesh. His wand felt as though it was fused to the palm of hand - a slim holly and phoenix-feather extension of his arm. HarryTonks. Harry and Tonks hit the nightclubs. Mayhem ensues.
and
1b. Undercover Discoveries: http://browneydweasley.livejournal.com/22524.html#cutid1
Harry needs to get out of what's become uncomfortably close quarters in the tent with R and Hr. Apparently someone's been keeping an eye on the trio.
What do these fics have in common? It's all about the pink-haired auror. Moving on...
2. India by Perspicacity The real hero of Deathly Hallows was Hedwig; this is her story. A canon-compliant, Deathly Hallows era, spy/military/action/thriller with Hedwig as protagonist. Hedwig/Phantom . I forget what the occasion was (think it was the last RL birthday thing), but this was my favorite.
3a. Bar Maid by
snegurochka_lee and 3b. Five Women who Hate Fleur Delacour, also by
snegurochka_lee
Do you hate the way women were reduced to trite, stock supporting roles in HP the way I do? So does the authoress, who has composed two of the most overtly feminist, brilliant and deliciously subversive fics ever to find their ways into the HP verse.
4. Girls Together Sarcastically » by Dennis
Time to leave the HP verse! In this series of post-canon vignettes, Daria Morgendorffer, her sister Quinn, best friend Jane and Quinn's old high-school nemesis Sandi form a band up in Boston. They rock the house.
We'll end it with another Daria rec.
5. An Overlooked Flaw by legendeld. Quinn devises the perfect system to rank potential dates. There's one fail-safe she forgot to program in, however.
Enjoy, and happy reading. If some are new to you, let me know how you like them. If they're not new, let me know that they're your favorites, too :-)
