Guide to Completed SSHG Novels (HBP-era) - Compliant
I meant to keep up with SSHG WIPs and add them when complete--and a newly completed novel just forced me to split my novel post in two. So here is the canon compliant part.
I searched through FanfictionNet, AdultFanfiction, Restricted Section, Ashwinder, Petulant Poetess and OWL.
I also created other guides:
SSHG HBP Epics - Complete Guide - over 100,000 words
SSHG HBP Novels - Non-Canon Compliant Complete Guide - over 40,000 and less than 100,000 words
SSHG HBP Novellas - Complete Guide - over 10,000 and less than 40,000 words
SSHG HBP Short Stories - Select Guide - under 10,001 words
SSHG HBP Drabbles - Select Guide - exactly 100 words or multiple of 100
SSHG HBP WIPs - Partial List - unfinished stories
I've listed every single completed SSHG story I could find of over 40,001+ words and less than 100,001 words posted after July 15, 2005 and before July 21, 2007. It comes to 125 novels.
I put a star next to the ones I personally liked (I tried all below) and otherwise noted those recognized by awards and rec sites like the Multifaceteds, Quill to Parchment (QtP), Know It Alls (KIA) and crack_broom as well as the sshg_awards nominees to highlight those that you might find worthwhile checking out.
There are, of course, several works in progress that may yet reach Novel length and be completed that ultimately will belong on this list. So, in the order in which they were posted:

Summary: Arithmancy has often been defined as the science that deals with the laws of magic. (Elements of Arithmancy, Reichenbach, H. c1947.) Equations, however, factor only what the Arithmancer knows to be true at the time. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances throw a kink in the works. Magic doesn't behave as one expects and solutions can be found in a chance meeting 10 years later.
