* Recommended by Bufu, [[User:Unclouded TJ]], boonerunner
* I'm rather surprised that Barb hasn't been mentioned
** [[User:Unclouded TJ]]: Her work was the first good fanfiction I'll admit to reading. The second in the trilogy, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/699701/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Time_of_Good_Intentions Harry Potter and the Time of Good Intentions]'', is one of the best looks at an AU I've ever seen and how it comes about is shocking. Granted I think it went downhill towards the end of the trilogy but up to the middle of the third story it was all very well done work.
** vick86: The ''Psychic Serpent'' trilogy is one of the best examples of [[Growing the Beard]] in fanfiction. The first book does suffer from a number of bad (Harry Potter) fanfiction cliches. This is to be forgiven however when one considers that this is one of the earlier book-length works and most of the cliches weren't cliches when it was written, but rather became cliches after other works started using some of the same ideas. The second book throws the AU curveball and it turns into one of the best series you'll ever read. It's definitely worth it to sit through some of the bad stuff in the first book to reach the greatness of the sequels.
Line 23:
* Recommended by [[User:Micah]], [[User:Doma Doma]], [[User:Nocturna]]
* She writes with a dry but periodically hilarious tone and plots of the inevitable-in-hindsight variety. I'm particularly fond of ''The Adventures of Icarus the Invisible Poltergeist'' and ''Running Close to the Ground''.
** Seconded by [[User:Doma Doma]]: Agreed. My favorites are ''Mordant'' and ''Correspondence Course''
** Thirded by [[User:Verity]], who would also highly rec her ''Remedial History''.
Line 40:
* Recommended by [[User:Rinny]], [[User:Yo Adrian]]
* It's pretty much the only fanfic I still even bother to read. Shame it isn't updated quite as often anymore, though.
* Strongly seconded by [[User:Yo Adrian]]: Oh god, where to start. Best Marauders-era fic I've ever read. The humor is
* Thirded by Yessiika: Beautiful, beautiful fanfic. One of the best ever written. Unfortunately, both authors have practically confirmed its status as a [[Dead Fic]]. However, what has been written is glorious; all of the characters, even some of the minor ones that the books mention in passing, have been fleshed out wonderfully and despite being a truly hilarious piece of writing, it has quite a few touching moments at times. The original home-page link is dead because someone hacked the site in late 2008 but thankfully, Lomara converted each and every file into PDF.
* Fourthed by this troper: It's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. If you haven't read it, go read it NOW. It's the Marauders in the flesh, funny and moving and so utterly ''them''. Honestly, would probably sell my soul to be able to write like this. The slash isn't very obvious, by the way, so don't be off-put by it.
* Fifthed by this other troper: it's bloody fantastic. All the characters are written ''perfectly'': Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Snape, even Peter -- ''all'' of them are completely three-dimensional people, with character progression that clearly leads them towards becoming their older canon counterparts we know from the books (and it thankfully ''doesn't'' fall into traps with the characters which are all too common in Harry Potter fandom<ref>e.g. James and Sirius the [[Jerk Jock|sociopathic bullies]], Snape the innocent [[The Woobie|woobie]], Wormtail the blithering idiot, etc.</ref>). As for the story itself, it's
* Sixthed by [[User:Lost Lenore]]: pulled an all-nighter to read it and would do it again in a heartbeat. [[Blatant Lies|Definitely not in love with this fic's version of Remus.]] Touching and funny and oh so right. Has a high rereading value, too.
* Now has [[The Shoebox Project|its own TV Tropes page]].
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1034541/Kurinoone The Dark Prince]'' Trilogy by Kurinoone (AU, some child abuse, some fighting, Dark
* Recommended by Elenor
* All canon pairings. Lily/James, Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, etc.
Line 90:
[http://www.fanfiction.net/~lightningonthewave Sacrifices Arc] by Lightning on the Wave (Very Long Completed AUs, Heavy Violence, Slash)
* Recommended by [[Tropers/Ptitlejg 85 gcuj|Ms. Byrd]], notsarah, starryblue, The Blood Sharpie, [[User:Lost Lenore]]
* ''Comments'': A seven fic series and related oneshot "Maze of Light," each novel-length work replaces its corresponding canon counterpart, and Lightning increasingly diverges from the source. Despite the oft-(mis)used premise "what if Slytherin!Harry had a BWL!twin," the plot manages to stay original and creative throughout, with truly inspiring [[Shout-Out|shout-outs]] to canon events. Canon characterizations aren't exactly possible, but there's a surprising amount of Original Flavor nonetheless. [[Magnificent Bastard|Snape]] is especially brilliant, and while Lightning never loses sight of the reality that spawned him, he progresses to the point of possibly being better than what JKR ever got around fleshing out. BE WARNED: the author really knows how to [[Anyone Can Die|turn on the water-works]], and pays careful attention to
