I was about to start wondering why I'm not a huge fan of Slytherin!Harry, but then you mentioned it right there. Every time I've read this, it's been a lame excuse for Harry/Draco (and once for Harry/Blaise, I think?). And idk, it's probably that I started off with the worst Harry/Draco fics ever (including all the part!Veela and "have to kiss until you turn 17 or else you die" and leather!Draco and abused!Draco + sudden hunk!Harry and "oh hey, surprise, Snape's your father!" stuff), but I never shipped it.
I really liked Hermione/Krum around the first time I read GoF, though. :D And I might have to check out again what I've missed since then, because I somehow ended up seeing them more as becoming really close friends, and it didn't help that I came across some Charlie/Krum, I guess. (Seriously, there has to be more Charlie fic. Charlie as an awesome brother, Charlie as the cool uncle, Charlie on his own being badass, Charlie/everyone, just.)
Oh man, those H/D fics you started with sound terrible! The first one I ever read was actually really good, which probably helped get me into the pairing. :P But I stopped shipping them years ago, so now, yeah...any Slytherin!Harry fic with H/D automatically becomes uninteresting to me. :P And especially since Slytherin!Harry is such an interesting trope, it seems like a waste to write shippy fic with it rather than gen. XD
I came across some really well-written Bill/Charlie back in the day, and yeah...I've been into that ever since. Doesn't help that I seem to have a propensity for shipping sibling pairings....
No worries, I have months old comments to answer to in my inbox... and I didn't have time for livejournal during the last few... weeks, anyway :P
MORE GEN IN THIS FANDOM. Seriously. Or at least a lot of gen around the shippy stuff if you want to keep it. One of the first HP fics I read, between all this H/D mess, started out as a very intersting friendship piece between Hermione and Pansy - and then the D/Hr started and everything went to waste, siiigh. And now I actually want some good Slytherin!Harry fic. One where Slytherin is neither painted as the ~cold house of awful people~ nor where they're pretending everything is so much better than in other houses and Gryffindor basically sucks. I just want some rational fiction (does this even make sense), is this too much to ask for??
I don't usually ship siblings, but if I had to pick anyone from the series, then it would probably be Bill/Charlie, ngl. Or Sirius/Regulus for the extra drama, hahaha ooops. Maybe I just have a thing for background characters you don't really know much

I haven't read H/D in ages-they were the first HP pairing I shipped, but these days I just don't see it at all. XD

haha, I love love love Sirius/Regulus. XD And I didn't know that about Charlie...but I'll just pretend it's because he's always been with Bill. ;)
