Oh, you.

"It's Not a Love Potion" by CrystalP374

Did you know that before "Misadventures," I had never, ever read a Harry/Draco fic? Not once. Slash is never something I've actively sought out, and I've always preferred good writing over smut, anyway. But people like what they like, and I can't blame them! I mean, we're all in the fanfic boat, so I can't really afford to throw anyone off.

However, there is such a thing as well-written smut, which is pretty much what this is.

It's smut, but as "realistic" as it can be. It's a bit silly, but the author's totally aware, so it's bearable.

"Harry's Brom" by Hans van Hozel

Hans is one of the most interesting writers I've read in a long time. The way he plays around with the constructs of the English language is amazing. The way he continually references the moon, using it as this analogy for the emptiness of existence is amazing. Hans dares ask, "What does Harry's broom feel?"

The romance between Harry's Broom, Brom, and Harry's owl, Hedwig, is beautiful and realistic. They both can fly, but neither one has a concrete identity. They both "belong" to someone else - Harry. Can you belong to someone else, and still be your own owl or broom? It's a worthy question to ask. I could do a Marxist reading of this, and perhaps someday I will.

"My Immortal" by XXXbloodyrists666XXX

I don't really need to talk about this story, I just wanted to post it because I genuinely love it. If I had to name my favorite fanfic, this would probably be it.

"'The Parallel Worlds' Series" by LouisaB

When I started this blog, I decided to only recommend one fic per author, and that was it. After just a couple of months, I'm already bending the rules, though in my defense, it's for an interconnected series.

I left out one story there - "Catch a Quaffle," technically second in the series, though it has nothing to do with inter-dimensional Marauders as it does Remus/Sirius fluff. And I just don't care about that.

After accidentally opening a portal and finding a parallel universe, the marauders (and Lily!) get into all sorts of adventures and wacky hi-jinks. These fics are actually really well-written, enjoyable, and pretty damn brilliant. The different marauders running around at all times is sure to make you smile. I doubt these fics would be half as popular as they are if it weren't for the RLSB aspect, but I actually feel like that's the weakest part to the whole series.
