Title: Paradigm Of Uncertainty series
Author: LORI
Rating: R
Summary: Nine years after graduating from Hogwarts, Charms fellow Hermione Granger again finds herself caught up in Harry Potter's mysterious life.
Notes: Absolutely a wonderful piece of literature. Lori's stories are nothing short of brilliance. Many considered this to be their "H/H bible". Me being one of them. If there is anyone out there who hasn't read this remarkable work yet, erm, what exactly are you waiting for? run. don't walk.
Title: Beauty
Author: DANIELERIN
Rating: PG
Summary: What does it take to make you understand the meaning of it all? Harry finally figures out the answer to the question 'why'.
Notes: Danielerin is one of the most multi-talented writers out there. She just has a wonderful writing style which you can clearly see in this piece. Although you would think that it's nothing but fluff, there's a small plot twist in there that you wouldn't expect.
Title: Closure
Author: Goldy
Rating: R
Summary: After defeating Voldemort, Harry goes with Hermione to face the Dursleys one last time.
Notes: The title really says it all - he hates them, the feeling is mutual, but its something that just needs to be done. I love that Hermione helped him through this also which goes to show how great their partnership is.
Title: Unravelings
Author: Kaze
Rating: PG-13
Notes: It was just a dare... who knew it would force them to question their entire relationship?
My take: So adorable and fluffy which you wouldn't expect from Kaze at all. One of my favorite lines is ...
“What’s been said has been said. What’s been done has been done. You’ve had me from the beginning, Harry Potter. From every adventure to every painful moment in our lives, you’ve had me and until the very end. You’ve always had me, thread by thread.”
If that alone doesn't get you to read her story, just take my word for it. Amazing piece.
Title: Taste
Author: KATE J
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Is Harry imagining things? Does he care?

Rating: G
Summary: As a fun Christmas assignment, Professor Trelawney teaches the class how to perform a minor vision quest with this question in mind - "What is one simple thing I would like for Christmas?" No one is more surprised than Harry as to what his vision reveals.
Notes: This fic gives me warm fuzzies. It simple and sweet and just lovely. Beautifully written, and the plot is just wonderful. And as long as you're reading this, you should read A Simple Misunderstanding which is the followup to this story. It's just as good and just as lovely.

How will the wizarding world react to the return of its favorite son?

Title: It's All Relative
Author: DANIELERIN
Rating: PG-13
Summary: In the spring of her seventh year at Hogwarts, Hermione loses one dream while another comes true.

Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Dark!Harry
Summary: He's come back for her.
Notes: Gah! What to say about this fic? I don't even know how to start since there's just so much about this that I absolutely loved. It's amazing, absolutely heart wrenching and plain and simple, BRILLIANT! The emotions in this are radiant. You can actually feel Hermione's fear at the beginning when she see's Harry, but then everything it's tempered by the hope she has of him returning to the "good side". Its a beautifully written piece and even though it's sad, it's so worth reading. And as an icing to the cake, he killed Ginny. C'mon. That alone should get you to read this fic.

Notes: Yet another amazing piece from our own Goldy. This story had me from the very beginning. It tears you up to see how Harry treats Hermione, but when he realizes what he's doing and what he's about to loose it's worth it. That scene is just POWERFUL and so perfectly written. One of her best pieces.
Title: Hold That Thought

Summary: When Harry decided to push Hermione away for her own good, he never once considered what he could be pushing her towards.
Notes: It's one of the darkest fic I've ever read. Left me uncomfortable for a while. It's bloody amazing. There's things that might squick a few people like death, murder and all that jazz, but it's soooo worth the read.
Title: Duel
Author: grnshields

Title: When she Realizes
Author: Goldy
Rating: PG
Summary: My reaction to the common belief that it'll be something akin to Harry being hit with a baseball bat when he realizes his feelings. So, naturally, in light of that, I wrote a story depicting the exact opposite. What if it was Hermione who needed to be hit with a baseball bat?
Notes: Original plot and oh so good.

Author: CADEY
Rating: NC-17

Notes: Just as good as The Power He Knows Not, if not better. It's jammed pact with action and I just loved how she finishes the story. Absolutely amazing.
Title: Afterglow
Author: DANIELERIN
Rating: PG-13

Title: The Snitch
Author: napalmnacey
Rating: NC-17

Title: Why?
Author: FUNVINCE
Rating: PG
Summary: Hermione just wants to know the reasons why. She may not get the answers she wants, but in the end, it doesn't matter because she has what she needs.
Notes: One of the stories that came out during the week that all hell broke loose as a pick me upper. It's one of those "behind the scenes" fics and it's absolutely amazing. You have Hermione wondering what is it about Ron that JKR finds suitable for her and the conversation she has with her is one that we all would like to have. One of the scenes that sticks out..
"I just hate disappointing the people who really believed. They're being accused of seeing things that weren't there, but Harry, those things were there! Maybe they misinterpreted those things, maybe they were misguided, but they weren't delusional. They didn't just imagine it all, right?"
*sigh* Definitely a MUST read.
Title: O
Author: cheering charm
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Has R/Hr relationship.
Summary: He isn't supposed to make her feel this way.
Notes: Harry and Hermione definitely are an affair waiting to happen. You kind of feel bad for Ron when not even a few feet away their friends are shagging like rabbits. Kind of. Hot is probably one of the words I'll use to describe this fic.
Title: Best Friend With Benefits
Author: ELESSAR1201
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Mention of H/G and R/Hr
Summary: Hermione has sworn to make sure Harry has anything he needs...anything
Notes: What started as a way to release stress ended up being something unexpected. Hot and very sweet.
Title: Here at the End
Author: Ahn Na Blue
Rating: PG-13
Summary: The return of Hermione the Heroine. Incorporates a few of our favorite H/Hr theories. Meant to stay as close to canon as possible. Harry's got a lot of training ahead. And who will be there by his side? Hm...Who has always been there? Who fought with him at the DOM? Could it be a certain brilliant frizzy haired girl? And will he finally figure out what that means? Will he PLEASE finally figure it out? And bonus, there may be a catfight!
Notes: She's not lying when she says 'meant to stay as close to canon as possible'. She's telling the story from Harry's POV and spends time dealing with the R/Hr and H/G relationships. Stays very true to canon.
Title: Magic Never Dies
Author: Lynney
Rating: R
Summary: Seventh Year - starts immediately after HBP.
Notes: Lynney ability in writing is amazing. One of the best seventh year fics out there. I highly recommend it.

Notes: If you want to read UST done right, go ahead and read this fic. Really, really well written. Not to mention good.
Title: Forever Knight
Author: DeliverMeFromEve
Rating: NC-17
Summary: He had tried to move on, but he loved her so much in life that his passion for her surpassed the force of death. Harry truly believed that love knew no bounds, and he was going to make a believer out of her again.
Warnings: Work In Progress. Extreme violence and sex. but sex is always good.
Notes: I'm not really fond of Vampire!Hermione fic, but trust me, this story is absolutely brilliant. All the characters stay very true to their characters which is odd when considering fics like this one. Incredibly angsty with some smut thrown in. Which, i don't think people will mind on the latter. DeliverMeFromEve is definitely the new 'it' writer. She's brilliant.
Title: More Important Things
Author: Twitch E. Littleferret
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Harry begins his journey the summer before seventh year. But he faces unexpected challenges in coming to terms with Ron and Hermione's budding romance, his own relationship with Ginny and an unwanted return to Hogwarts.
