Madam Lurker’s Fic Recommendations (pg. 01)

Jun 29, 2006 13:55

Please note: this is a work in progress; I will be continually adding and updating so please come back often. Rather than having to contend with a legend and various shapes I’ll just be adding a note after the author’s story summary that will include why I like it, what I found annoying/interesting about the story, any additional warnings, spoilers and the like. Also, the stories won't be in any particular order, but I will try to group an author’s stories together if I have more than one story by the same author.

Author: Batsutousai

Story: Abandon complete, Words: 248103

Summary: (Harry/Voldemort, OOC, AU, post OOTP, written before HBP came out) Abandoned on the streets of London, 16 year old Harry Potter must find a way to survive. What's the Boy-Who-Lived to do?

Genres: Romance, Humor/Parody, Drama, Action/Adventure
Rating: MV (equivalent: NC17)
Warnings: Violence, Adult Language, Sexual Situations, Chan, Character Death, OOC-ness

Author: Batsutousai

Story: Reclaim complete, Words: 104563

Summary: (Harry/Voldemort, OOC, AU, post OOTP, written before HBP came out) Sequel to Abandon! In love with the man he’s expected to kill and member of the esteemed Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter must fight in a war in which he is divided. Can he lead his world to peace?
Genres: Angst/Tragedy, Romance, Humor/Parody, Drama, Alternate Universe, Action/Adventure
Rating: MV (equivalent: NC17)

Warnings: Violence, Adult Language, Sexual Situations, BDSM, Character Death, OOC-ness

ML Note: Well… what to say… These are the first Voldemort/Harry stories I’ve read that I really enjoy, and really got into easily. A few parts I felt like hiding in the closet from, but I pressed on and wasn’t disappointed. Voldemort is still his dastardly self, Harry is a monster (hah! Not literally) and completely loveable, but he also gets into the dark! Harry persona in a good way and does it believably!

Author: rowaine

Story: Graduation Plans complete, Words: 21144

Summary: Harry doesn't want to be the Boy-Who-Lived anymore. This one's a gender-bender fic, folks. It's also silly and goofy and un-beta'd. You have been warned :P

Genres: Romance, Humor/Parody, Alternate Universe, First Time

Rating: M (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: Adult Language, Sexual Situations, OOC-ness

Author: rowaine

Story: Summer Hols complete, Words: 8166

Summary: Set immediately after Graduation Plans, our lovely couple deals with their future... and future in-laws.

Genres: Romance, Humor/Parody, Alternate Universe

Rating: M (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: Adult Language, Sexual Situations, OOC-ness

ML Note: I have such a hard time finding a believable Gender Bender story, this one really hits on it well. It’s funny, a little risqué, and Snape is still his Sexy Snarky self.

Author: sweet asphodel

Story: Grounded complete, Words: 17205

Summary: Upon returning to Hogwarts for his seventh year, Harry finds that his magic is failing him. Even more disturbing to the Boy-Who-Lived is the discovery of the solution to his problem.

Genres: Romance, Humor/Parody

Rating: M+ (equivalent: R)

Warnings: Sexual Situations, Under 18

Author: sweet asphodel

Story: Escape Velocity complete, Words: 27989

Summary: Sequel to ‘Grounded.’ Harry and Severus must now face the ramifications of their bonding.

Genres: Romance, Humor/Parody

Rating: M+ (equivalent: R)

Warnings: Sexual Situations, Under 18

ML Note: Both are funny, Harry and Snape don’t get along right off the bat (something I hate), and they scheme together against Dumbles!

Author: sevs lil secret

Story: How Severus Snape Spends His Summer Hols WIP (updated regularly with nice & long chapters), Words: 352167

Summary: This is a story that revolves around an alternate life that had been lived by Severus Snape in the US while he was spying for the Light. Now that Voldemort is dead, he has opted to show this life to his lover, Harry Potter. Oh and by the by...there are Harleys and all sorts of goodies involved. It is a perpetual fic. If people here seem to like the first chapter, I will continue to post on a daily basis.

Genres: Angst/Tragedy, Romance, Humor/Parody, Drama, Alternate Universe

Rating: M+ (equivalent: R … in some places I would even say NC17)

Warnings: Violence, Adult Language, Sexual Situations, BDSM, MPreg, Non-con (rape), Self harm, OOC-ness

ML Note: This is fic is one of the few D/s fics I’ve ever read, never mind followed diligently since the first chapter. I myself have had some challenges reading this as I chaff at the very thought of being submissive - I just haven't got that sort of trust in people that it takes to be a sub, never mind being a Dom; I’d probably freak out the minute punishment (weather giving or receiving) was mentioned - I don’t do pain of any kind. This story is very in depth, very well written, and it’s given me a whole different perspective on the D/s life style.

Author: The Minx 17

Story: Redefining Bill Weasley complete, Words: 9556

Summary: After the Battle of the Tower, Bill Weasley finds he needs to redefine himself. Over the course of the fic, the two move from a preslash relationship forward. BW/HP

Genres: Romance

Rating: M (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: Adult Language, Sexual Situations, Spoilers (for HBP I believe)

ML Note: A little sappy (in parts) but well done, it’s hard to find well done Harry/Bill stories because of their age gap (I think) and because they hadn't been around each other much. A lot is just told from Bill and Harry’s perspective (but not a personal POV just from where they are in the story, it doesn’t focus on the other weasley’s much or anyone else for that matter).

Author: Vallon

Story: Ange de la morte (Angel of Comforting Death) WIP (updated about once a month, but nice long chapters to make up for it), Words: 47412

Summary: Ever since the night Harry saw Cedric die, he been witness to the deaths of all Voldemort’s victims. He feels their pain and their grief. He comforts them the best he can before they die. Soon Death himself comes for Harry not to take him to the Gates of Judgement but to offer him a job.

Genres: Angst/Tragedy, Romance, Alternate Universe, Horror/Supernatural, Hurt/Comfort

Rating: MV (equivalent: NC17)

Warnings: Violence, Adult Language, Sexual Situations, Chan, Non-con (rape), Character Death, OOC-ness (implied incest, but it isn't really… read it and you’ll understand that)

ML Note: This one is well worth the wait, it’s well written, the concept is believable, and Harry isn't Super Power, or indestructible. And I LOVE her Death.

Author: Vingilot

Story: Skin Deep () WIP (updated fairly regularly), Words: 217523 - ALSO they’re adding the fic to HPFandom but only 12 chapters as of yet

Summary: Harry and his friends create a new type of magic embodied in Harry’s tattoos to keep him protected from his uncle. When the new magic works Harry is removed to Hogwarts where Dumbledore finally tells him the truth. Severitus. Written PreHBP HarryBill

Genres: General/Romance

Rating: M (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: Sexual Situations, OOC-ness, RAPE, Violence

ML Name: I’ve literally cried in parts, Harry here is very… tragic I suppose but not in the over done teenaged angst sort of way, the Severitus part is done very well, Snape is still snarky, but he is definitely OOC but so is Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Bill (although, I don’t know if he classifies as OOC as I don’t think his character was gone into very much in the books - It’s been a while since I’ve read 1-4, I just couldn’t do 5 knowing Sirius was killed in the end). If you aren’t a Dumbledore fan, I say definitely go for this one, he gets every bit of what he deserves here! SLASH fic!!!

Author: Corwalch

Story: A Place Where I Belong complete, Words: 36541

Summary: HP/Stargate XOver. Everyone deserves a place where they can belong. It's just that some of us have to go further than we ever thought we would to find it.

Genres: Action/Adventure, Crossover

Rating: G+ (equivalent: PG13 - only because of the language really)

Warnings: Adult Language

ML Note: Very well written, this is one of the first HP/SG1 crossovers that I read, and I was immediately drawn in and captivated - I thought Daniel/Harry was very in character as was Jack. It’s very believably written, and something I would recommend to someone who hadn't yet read an hp/sg1 crossover but had been considering it. this is a Gen fic!!!!

Author: alliekatgal

Story: Serpent Tattoo complete, Words: 36742

Summary: Harry finally confronts Severus with his wish to know the real Severus Snape. As their relationship progresses, they discover that Harry has a unique connection to the elemental forces of the earth.

Genres: Romance

Rating: M+ (equivalent: R)

Warnings: Adult Language, Sexual Situations

ML Note: very well done, Harry is a bit OOC but not too much, as is Severus, but again, not too much. Spoilers for OOTP, the ‘final battle’ felt a bit… anti-climatic to me but on a whole a good story. SLASH fic!!! HP/SS

Author: lilyseyes

Story: Bodyguard complete, Words: 73159

Summary: Dumbledore has decided that Harry needs a bodyguard during the summer after his sixth year, and who better to keep him safe then Professor Snape.

Genres: Romance, Action/Adventure

Rating: M+ (equivalent: R)

Summary: Severus must rescue Harry from Voldemort, and keep him alive until the dust settles.

Genres: Romance, Action/Adventure

Rating: MV (equivalent: NC17)

Warnings: Sexual Situations

ML Note: mild OOC ness, very well done, the battle (I'm not sure I can really call it the final battle) seemed a little quick to me… not that I’d expected some 10 page epic battle, but it seemed mildly rushed but still written nicely. SLASH fic!!!!! HP/SS

Author: lilyseyes

Story: Life after Voldemort WIP (seems to be on hold…) Words: 111081

Summary: Is there hope for a life after the defeat of Voldemort? HPSS

Genres: General (some romance)

Rating: MV (equivalent: NC17)

Warnings: Sexual Situations, MPREG

ML Note: nicely done story, Severus is rather OOC here but still well written. It does seem, however, to be on hold or maybe on a hiatus as it hasn’t been updated since November ’05. reading it is really up to you (of course) unless your very against reading an unfinished WIP that’s on a hiatus -grin-. SLASH fic!!!! HP/SS.

Author: Greywizard

Story: Prophecies? We Don't Need No Stinking Prophecies! WIP (regularly updated) Words [49,829]

Summary: How would things have changed if Harry Potter was raised by the Scooby Gang? BTVS/HP Crossover!!!

Genres: General Fanfiction

Rating: FR13 (equivalent: PG13)

Warnings: Language, Violence

ML Note: this one is well done, it does pop around a bit to give the view of Hogwarts and BTVS gang, but it’s labeled well so you don’t get confused. Dumbledore is a bit of a … well meddling old man in this one but it isn't clear if it’s in a malicious way yet or not.

Author: aewnaur

Story: The Chronicles of Riddick: The Underverse WIP (updated regularly), Words [33,257]

Summary: Summary: In order to end the Necromonger threat Riddick must journey to the past where it all began. And gets some help along the way. WARNING SLASH Xander/Riddick. Now with Fanart. Chronicles of Riddick/BTVS Crossover (if you don’t like Buffy or Willow this is for you!!!)

Genres: SLASH, an odd type of romance

Rating: FR18 (equivalent: R)

Warnings: SLASH, Language, Violence, Sexual Situations

ML Note: This is well done, Riddick is very in character, not something you want to read if you’re a bit fan of Buffy and Willow! Riddick/Xander is just yummy.

Author: lisaroquin

Story: Slytherin Scheming, Scrappy Style complete, Words [38,103]

Summary: Severus *thought* he was going to have a quiet summer to recover from Lexa Wilkins and Ronni Weasley's first year at Hogwarts. Until Minerva invited Xander Harris and his son to spend the summer at Hogwarts. And Potter ends up with 3 Dursleys.

Genres: general insanity, mild language

Rating: FR15 (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: SLASH (mostly implied)

ML Note: this is really a funny story. A little crazy, and some OOCness, but overall it’s well done. There is a story that comes before it but you don’t have to read it first (I didn’t).

Author: lisaroquin

Story: Who Knew WIP (updated regularly), Words: 6508

Summary: Who knew the surprises one little invitation could bring?RWHP SSSBRL CWHG DMGW

Genres: General

Rating: M (equivalent: PG15/Mature)

Warnings: mentions of abuse, minor language, violence

ML Note: I'm just going to give this one note for this author. I really enjoy these stories, he updates fairly often, and they’re written well; a big plus is they’re also in the realm of possibilities (for the verse’s of course). Some minor spelling or grammatical errors may be found but they’re really minor and not something I would pitch a fit over, unless that sort of thing really gets to you.

Author: FaramirMorning

Story: Little Wolf complete, Words: 39647

Summary: Harry goes to Hengehill University where he meets someone with a secret

Genres: Romance, Fluff

Rating: Innocent-ish (equivalent: PG13)

Warnings: Spoilers (up to OOTP I think)

Author: FaramirMorning

Story: Autumn Skies Complete. Words: 62320

Summary: The sequel to 'Little Wolf'. Three years after Harry and Cara first meet they now prepare to move onto the next stage of their lives and the past begins to repeat itself.

Genres: Romance, Drama

Rating: Guilty (equivalent: R)

Warnings: Spoilers (up to OOTP)

ML Note: Both are well done (although, there is grammar/spelling errors… she may need someone to beta), yeah, fluffy on both parts but very good stories. Her OMC is very well done and thought out. I just love Cara to pieces and want to smother him in hugs and kisses. Her werewolf information is very different than the usual werewolf stories I’ve read, and the big plus is that Cara isn't a total Mary-Sue! Harry is a little bit on the super power side but not too much. Overall, these two have become some of my very favorite stories, and I hope you (any of you) give it a read! SLASH fic!!! Harry/OMC

Author: Jeconais

Story: This Means War WIP (Hiatus I believe…), Word Count: 169,892

Summary: When the Weasley Boys interfere in Ginny's relationship with Dean, they make the biggest mistake of their lives. The witch decides that revenge is in order, and her first point of call is a new boyfriend - Harry.

Genres: Action/Adventure, Comedy, Romance

Rating: Teen (equivalent: PG13)

Warnings: Spoilers (Up to OOTP but Sirius is alive - grin-)

ML Note: This is a VERY funny story, it’s also romantic and has a bit of action/adventure mixed in. Jeconais goes through a VERY thorou beta period (the story goes through many beta’s as it gets edited for content, spelling/grammar, and timeline/sequential accuracy), so if you are a stickler for that sort of think you’ll love him to death! Although, this one is on a hiatus, so unless you’re willing to wait for him to finish…

Author: Jeconais

Story: Hope WIP (updated about… once a month I suppose but long chapters!), Word Count: 137,610

Summary: A man who is lost in his own country.  A girl who needs her mate to survive.  A tale of Quidditch and romance, of anger and betrayal, of friendship and enmity.  A story of the power of hope.

Genres: Action/Adventure, Fluff

Rating: Teen (equivalent: PG13)

Warnings: Spoilers, not for Dumbledore lovers!

ML Note: To be honest, I was a little skeptical about this one at first, but then I sat down and gave it my undivided attention… Wow. It’s really well done (he doesn’t skimp on the beta phase!) the Veela thing is actually believable, but in some parts I must admit I cringe a little! Snape and Malfoy (the younger) are really in character, but if you love Dumbledore I wouldn’t suggest you read this. Not that he’s bashed heavily, but it doesn’t put him in a pretty light.

Author: the-dreamer

Story: The Awakening of a Magus WIP (updated every few months, but long and detailed chapters), 246177 words

Summary: In the summer after the Triwizarding Tournament, Harry suddenly awakens to new powers and a new look. However, the powers of a Magus aren't so easy to control, and they don't make life easy. Voldemort is much more powerful than ever. Some new characters come into the picture, some old characters will not survive, and other old characters will learn a new outlook. No slash, O/C but no Mary-Sue, light R/Hr ship, possible other light ships, light Harry/Tonks

Genres: Drama/General

Rating: PG13

Warnings: Super Power Harry (but with in reason), some violence, maybe some fluff
ML Note: A very well written story! For those of you who detest WIPS; I my self an leery about WIPS, especially those that don’t get updated often, but this one really and truly is worth the wait. Her chapters are of a nice length and are very detailed, and keep your attention very well. And if you aren’t into the Harry/Tonks ship because Tonks is what… 7 years old? Or there abouts… this one explains why it’s a bit more accepted - I won't say here because I think it’d give away a major spoiler for the story, but suffice to say it does make allowance for the ship very nicely. (For those of you who are very adamant about grammar/spelling, the story is really well done - I’ve yet to come across any major spelling or grammatical errors, and if they are there they aren’t noticeable).
