... well. I lied. I had every intention of finally finishing the story, but my assistant retired and her replacement is a really, really slow worker and actually pretty thick. I'll try for early September.

I hate posting these excuse posts. I always feel like such an ass.

In the run up to DH (which was not overly impressive) I did read some rather nice HP fic.


Pretty much anything by Maya, but particularly: Drop Dead Gorgeous, Quality of Mercy, and If You've a Ready Mind. (Unfortunately for those last two you've kind of got to dig.) V. funny Harry/Draco.

A Single Love by Vera which is a Harry goes back in time and raises Tom Riddle, but slashy and twisted.

Death Eater Takes a Holiday by Lee Lee Potter really long, hot, and humorous HP/SS story.

Family Values by Ishtar honestly not the best written story, but it's an Addams Family crossover, let me say that again ADDAMS FAMILY CROSSOVER!

Nocturne by Tira Nog HP/SS, Sevs a vampire and Harry wants sex.

The Uncle, from sam vimes Everything Sam writes is excellent, but I thought this one was really fun. Features Remus Lupin, Crime Lord.

Evil Be Thou My Good by Ruskbyte Hellraiser/HP cross, Ruskbyte is pretty much king of the really unusual but strangely appealing crossovers.

Harry Potter and the Pretty Sorcerors Balls by NGX's Girl X This is one of those retell the story from the beginning things, this time Harry is flammingly homosexual.

In Blood Only by E.M. Snape the only Severitus challenge fic I believed (but not the only one I enjoyed). Amazingly in character Snape.

Anything by jennavere who writes really lovely Harry/Draco fic.

And of course, no HP recs list would be complete without aspeninthesunlight
