Fic for Harry Potter
Happily Ever After, by Jeconais
Rating: T+
Summary: If you sit very quietly, I’ll tell you the real story of a Prince and his Princess, and how they changed the world.
Comments: An enjoyable romance. It's a comfortable read, and not as good as the author's other two Harry/Gabrielle stories, but nonetheless, this was one of the first things I read after exploring non canon pairings. The pair's a bit odd (and I love odd!pair fics), and Gabrielle is a great deal younger than Harry, but it is an extremely well written story by a brilliant writer. I find it an absolutely adorable story and it's one of the ones that you know is going to end well. It has many fairytale themes and fairytali-ness and quite a fair bit of the super! genre fitting in as well. But despite its flaws, it really is a cute thing to read. It's not particularly funny, and at times, it is drenched in fluff. And sometimes, when things are bad (i.e. after maths assessment tasks) a cute thing like this cheers you right up.

Hedwig and the Goblet of Fire, by Meteoricshipyards
Rating: T
Summary: Harry uses Hedwig to test the restrictions on the Goblet of Fire. Obviously, they're not good enough to stop the smartest owl in Britain!
Comment: Pure, utter, crack!

*Oh God Not Again!, by Sarah1281
Rating: K+
Summary: So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.
Comment: A hiliariously funny parody. Of all the do-over time travel fics which exist in the Harry Potter world, this is pretty much my favourite for being non angsty and poking fun at various tropes which are either disturbing or ludicrous in both general fic and particularly do-over fic. It's also brilliantly written and quite witty in the way it addresses things.

Crossover fic for Harry Potter
*Blurring House Lines and Nil Desperandum, by Lily Winterwood, a crossover with Axis Powers Hetalia
Rating: M
Summary: Accepted into Hogwarts and Sorted into Slytherin House, Arthur Kirkland must prove to the rest of the school that not all Slytherins are evil while coming to grips with the fact that he is much more than an ordinary wizard. and Hogwarts is all but a dream now to the Nations, especially for Arthur Kirkland as he faces Voldemort's totalitarian regime. Sequel to Blurring House Lines; follows plotline of Deathly Hallows.
Comments: This fic is very long and isn't the best crossover ever written- it does ask you to suspend you disbelief a few times and in many ways, the sequel is better than the original. But it is worth the read- it explores many facets of both Hetalia and Potter canon and fanon, and is very well written and really does manage to mash two very different universes together. It is a must for fans of both series.

The Different Faces of Su Li by romantiscue, a crossover with Twilight
Rating: T
Summary: Equipped with a highly realistic magical strap-on, a crossdressing Su Li flees to La Push after the war to escape her father. Perfectly straight Embry Call never expected to imprint on another guy. Pseudo-slash. Sexuality confusion.
Comments:This might be one of the fics I dislike after reading the rest of the story. But the first chapter alone is well fleshed out and contains a bright spark of originality rarely seen in fanfiction. Even if I decide I dislike this story afterwards, this is one of the stories I see so much potential in. I like this fic because it explores a background character very well and handles her thoughts and emotions about her situation thus far in a believable way. It's a very different concept and I think that it is a pity in some ways that this absolute gem of an idea won't be very much exposed to the fandom world because it doesn't focus on the main character, or one of the more favoured side characters or even one of the popular background characters. This fic shows what fanfiction is- alternate viewpoints and exploration on themes that the original authors don't.
