"Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness" by thanfiction

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4315906/1/Dumbledores_Army_and_the_Year_of_Darkness

I'm not really familiar with thanfiction's fandom history  but this is a pretty well-done fic with a fairly ardent fanbase. I usually try not to rec stuff that's already well-known unless I truly love it (like "My Immortal" or "Slytherin Spy") but I really quite enjoyed this and I figured, Why the hell not?

It's about what happened for the DA during year seven. Pretty enjoyable.

"Moving On" by LadyKatie


http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3717765/1/Moving_On


Fuck, I love this fanfic. It's Harry/Draco, post DH. It's canon compliant (minus the epilogue, natch), and just ... fuck.

It wasn't perfect. There were a couple of scenes where I rolled my eyes (and some cringeworthy sex), but nothing that made me stop reading. I also love how this fic explored the notion of Wizarding Britain after Voldemort's fall.

I mentioned in my last post that I was never a Harry/Draco fan, but if one fic were to make me like the pairing, this is it. This is my "Dating Disasters of Sirius Black" for all the Drarry shippers out there. This makes sense to me.

"Marauder Reminders" by Jenulus

This is an unfinished Lupin/Tonks fic that, to me, portrays their relationship in the most canon-honest way.

I think it was Jenulus's original intention to cover their whole courtship, but she only managed to get nine chapters in, so she covers their first meeting at Grimmauld Place and their growing friendship/flirtation.

I just really like the way she portrays these characters. Tonks, in particular, is wonderful, as she is a bit gruffer in this fic than most others.

I'm breaking another one of my rules by posting a piece that's unfinished, but who cares. This had a really, really good start, and it's worth looking into.
