Request Slytherin Harry fics where Harry does not turn into a mini dark lord & instead turns his housemates to the "light" side?

51 Upvotes

Like the title says.

I can't state enough how tired I am of reading Slytherin Harry fics where he becomes Lord Potter, who actually understands why prejudice against Muggleborns is actually normal and pureblood bigotry isn't all that bad.

I need a fic where Harry struggles within the house; however, he gains friends and support who learn and grow from the bigotry propped up by their families and house.

Genius Fratris by alonelysock

^ This is the only fic that does exactly this and gives such variety to Slytherins. And we see Harry gain allies who are against Voldemort.

Discussion If AK can be blocked by solid objects, can it be stopped by armor?

13 Upvotes

Currently writing a fic and a I plan on using armour to block certain damage. Made me think about how spells and curses work. If the AK curse can be blocked with solid objects shouldn’t armour or even clothes be able to stop it?

Discussion To Break or Not to Break

5 Upvotes

This one's for the FanFic authors and creative writers , when writing your ff at what point do you decide to take a break from your project and how long do you Break for

For example you have 5 chapters done do you Break for a few day then come back or do you not Break and keep going???

Me right now ive stepped away after chapter 17 this project is about wrapped up so I stepped away for my mind to work and so I can be sure the ending is how I envisioned it

Discussion What do you think would happen to the kid of death eaters born in prison?

4 Upvotes

I have an idea for a character. Both her parents were death eaters sentenced to Azkaban. However, her mother was pregnant when sentenced and she's born while her mother is imprisoned. She's in Ginny's generation.

With no family to take care of her, would the ministry just put her in an orphanage and then send her to Hogwarts when she turns 11? Would they tell her about her death eater parents? How do you see the ministry handling someone like this?

Request Any crossover fics that respect the universe?

4 Upvotes

By respect the universe, I don’t mean it in a “wow, that’s so lore accurate!” way, but more of a “wizards/Dumbledore/Voldemort are an actual threat”

A good example of this is “A Shyish Student”, which is a crossover with Warhammer Fantasy

Preferably a bit on the longer and/or complete side, but I’m accepting anything at this point

Find That Fic Looking for a fic that started similar to “The Fallen Gamer,” but not a fallen angel. They end up stealing the Hogwarts library, and have a gamer system.

4 Upvotes

It’s also a crossover universe with maybe Marvel, not sure. I remember they develop spells using the system. One of them was to hear I think Snape walking away from the room he was in, and another was a spell to block, stop wards from activating.

Request Long AU fics

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for stories that diverge from canon. To be specific, I don't want simple reenactments of the main events from each book, so as far away from that as possible, and as long as possible. At least 200k words. No crossover and no slash.

It's okay if a fic somewhat resembles the main canon events, as long as the plot is sufficiently different regardless that you feel like you're reading something new.

It's also ok if it starts from a canon event, eg Triwizard tournament, but then the butterfly effect kicks in from the author's own takes on the plot so that the story doesn't develop further as it did in the primary books. What I don't want most of all is an orderly reenactment, A follows B follows C, year after year. It's okay if it starts from A and then goes somewhere very different from B and C and D though.

Request Any fics that feature the summer before third year?

9 Upvotes

I always think that this is an underrated part of the books by the fandom. Harry isn’t at the Dursleys, doesn’t really need to sneak out, doesn’t have much going on… and is pretty much living in Diagon Alley.

Are there any fics that have Harry do interesting things over the course of this summer?

Find That Fic Voldemort reborn, calls Harry too skinny

I’m looking for a fic that I read a long time ago. The only thing I remember is that, at the end of fourth year when Voldemort is reborn, he measures Harry’s wrist with his fingers, calls Harry too skinny, and lets him go.

Description: Female Harry Potter x Erik Killmonger (N'Jadaka) - Soulmates

Harri's so excited for her 12th birthday. She's going to meet the person who's meant to be by her side. She's never had that before. Only... the boy in the dreamscape doesn't like her at all. That's okay. She's always been alone anyway, so she's not going to start being all fucking needy now. She's never got anything handed to her for free, why would it be different for her soulmate?

This work was inspired by 'like the grass catches the rain' by Tsume_Yuki (https://archiveofourown.org/works/15685254/chapters/36443814). Same paring and soulmate concept, but it's my own work and ideas after that.

It's only been up for two months and in WIP, but I just think its so good! Tsume_Yuki of course is sensational, and this one is just sooooo good as well.

We need more Female Harry Potter x Erik Killmonger (N'Jadaka) fics!

I really liked it it, reminded me of Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, its doesn't exactly use characters from the books though, it's just the setting is the Wizarding World, it's a cosmic horror kind of thing.

Request Any fics where Harry ends up in a world without magic?

5 Upvotes

I'm a sucker for fics where magical Harry ends up in a universe where the wizarding world doesn't exist, but he still has his magic!

A few examples of what I mean:

  • Whispers in Corners by esama — Harry uses his powers as a Master of Death to work as a medium in a non-magical world.
  • Spellist — Harry ends up in the Marvel universe.
  • Double-Aspect Paradox — Harry ends up in the body of his female alternate-universe counterpart in a world without magic, where she's the daughter of mafia boss James Potter and marries Tom Riddle.

I'm looking for more fics with a similar premise! Crossovers are very welcome, but I'm also happy with original non-magical AUs. I especially love seeing how Harry's magic, knowledge, or abilities change things in a world where nobody believes magic is real.

Find That Fic Fic where Harry, with his dormmates, jokes that Snape says "turn to position three-hundred-and-ninety-four" during sex.

59 Upvotes

I remember VERY little of this fic, otherwise. Maybe it was slightly angsty? Regardless, I remember Harry and his dormmates having a rather real-feeling conversation where they talk about how mortifying it is to imagine their teachers in compromising positions, and Harry comes out with that banger of a joke. All the boys are laughing so hard that they're crying.

Find That Fic A fic where the Secret is broken by a picture

3 Upvotes

There's a picture of someone flying in the sky that leaks to the muggle press. What ensue is the Secret is forced to be broken and magic is mixed with science as well as technology.

I also remember there being a subplot about the pope being an actual wizard and magic affecting all major religions because the ghost of a biblical character wasn't happy with the current divisions so there's people who try to make a one world religion and others who reject this etc.

Request Fics with writing you can only describe as... "superb"

82 Upvotes

Fics where the sentences and dialogues just flow, where the plot is riveting and will keep you turning the page. Fics with writing that can can open or change your mind on the most absurd of plots, or the most unlikely ships. Fics that know their characters so well. Fics that made you realize that fanfic can surpass the original body of work they are based on.
