So, uh. Recs?

[demarafis]

Any specific genre/characters/pairings/tone you're looking for?

[(Anonymous)]

Just interested in seeing what everyone's favorites are/which ones have most impressed people. :)

I used to see recommendations that people go trawl through delicious to see what stories are popular, but I gather that things have changed somewhat, so not as useful. I found that lurking in the 'does anyone recognise this fic' forums was a great way to find stuff to read.

[demarafis]

I tried to not focus on any specific pairings and rec several different genres. As are result, the stories below are not all canon-compliant, or post-DH. Some are contemplative, some are dark. Some are crossovers but also parodies + crack. Few are replacements for canon, as most build on or add to HP canon.

I hope you give them all a chance. Enjoy!

Gen & gen-ish:
Silver and Green: a Quartet, PG-13, post-DH.
Summary: For four Slytherin seventh-years, the sarcastic potions master turns out to be not only the best teacher they ever had, but also the most important.
No Room for the Weak, PG, post-DH.
Summary: There's a Boy Who Lived and a boy who didn't, and even a mother can't always tell them apart.
The Boy Who Lived, PG-13, canon-compliant.
Summary: A story of four boys.
Leave Out All the Rest, PG-13, post-DH.
Summary: Nobody expected the year after Fred's death would be easy. But nobody expected George would have to lose so much, just to live through it.
Make a Wish, PG-13, parody.
Summary: Harry has learned the prophesy and he does not believe that a schoolboy can defeat Voldemort, so he decides that if he is going to die then he is first going to live.
In Loco Parentis (see the epic_recs post for summary and review)
The Fourth Deathly Hallow, PG, HP/Sherlock Holmes crossover. Summary available at story link (had to cut it because this comment exceeded the maximum character length of 4300).

Non-Gen fics:
Fruiting Bodies, NC-17, multiple pairings, short and fun and full of crack+NSFW adorable clay figure pics.
Summary: Love is in the air. Also, spores.
The Janus Rose, G, Severus Snape/Pomona Sprout, canon-compliant.
Summary: Pomona Sprout performs a melancholy duty in fulfillment of a promise she made to Severus years before he died.
Big Name Death Eater, R, Severus Snape/Hermione Granger.
Summary: Have you ever wondered what really happened at the Death Eater meetings?
Humbug (A Christmas Tale), NC-17, Harry/Draco.
Summary: Draco has been taking his casual relationship with Harry for granted. Visits from four key ghosts the night before Christmas just might shake up his priorities in life.
A Black Comedy, R, multiple pairings, parody and crack.
Summary: Two years after defeating Voldemort, Harry falls into an alternate dimension with his godfather. Together, they embark on a new life filled with drunken debauchery, thievery, and generally antagonizing all their old family, friends, and enemies.
Browncoat, Green Eyes, R, Harry Potter/River Tam.
Summary: Firefly/Harry Potter crossover Post Serenity. Two years have passed since the secret of the planet Miranda got broadcast across the whole 'verse in 2518. The crew of Serenity finally hires a new pilot, but he's a bit peculiar.

Rec lists:
Up-to-date multipairings recs including rare pairs, compiled by bethbethbeth
crack_broom, multipairing HP rec community, where the reviews are just as good as the rec'ed fics
HP recs by painless-j, mostly slash but also het and gen, may be out of date

Just popping in to say thanks for the recs.
