{{work}}

These are recommendations made by Tropers for [[Harry Potter]] Continuation fanfic, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3979062/1/ Hogwarts Houses Divided]''

* ''Synopsis'':The war is over, and all is well, they say, but the wounds remain unhealed. Bitterness divides the Houses of Hogwarts. Can the first children born since the war's end begin a new era, or will the enmities of their parents be their permanent legacy?

* ''Comments'': Tells the story of Teddy Lupin's first year at Hogwarts. Not only does this story ''feel'' like a Harry Potter book, but it stuck so close to the [[Word of God]] that I had to remind myself after reading that this is not actually canon. WARNING: Even though Harry and the rest of the gang make an appearence, this is mainly about Teddy and the kids he's going to Hogwarts with. Expect a lot of OC.

*** Now has its [[Hogwarts Houses Divided|own page.]] Could do with some love... and maybe a better summary.

 

 

''[http://community.livejournal.com/hp10k_showcase/7219.html Glass Half Full]'' by [http://pir8fancier.livejournal.com/ Pir8fancier]

* ''Synopsis'': Twenty years after the battle at Hogwarts, it's not happily ever after.

* ''Warnings'': Substance abuse, filthy language, lots of smoking references

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2612901/1/Theres_Always_a_Way There's Always A Way]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/~starkan Starkan] (a.k.a. [http://www.viridiandreams.net/ Viridian])

* ''Synopsis'': A one-shot response to the "Marriage Law" plot hook. When research regarding declining birthrates and rising squib numbers comes to light (too much pureblood inbreeding, naturally), the Ministry has a complete meltdown and passes a law that requires all unwed purebloods to marry halfbloods and muggleborns in an effort to remedy the situation. Of course the Ministry being the wretched hive of corruption and injustice that it is, the process quickly turns draconian and oppressive, but when Ginny and Hermione are matched up with Lucius and Draco, an injured Harry puts his foot down and calls in [[Career Killers|some outside assistance...]]

* ''Comments'': Imagine the protagonist of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' set in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' 'verse. Wonderfully snarky and intelligent.

** Psalm of Fire: I'm not a big fan of anything short of epic length, but I love S'Tarkan/Viridian's writing so much I had to read everything he's written. I wasn't disappointed, this oneshot is a whole bunch of fun!

 

 

''[http://bobmin.fanficauthors.net/Wizards_Fall/Wizards_Fall.php Wizards Fall]'' by Bobmin

* ''Synopsis:'' In the aftermath of the defeat of Voldemort, the Wizarding World goes down a path almost as dark as Tom Riddle's. And in response, Harry, Hermione and Luna find themselves forced to take the most drastic possible measures in order to save the best of the world in which they grew up.

* ''Comments:'' Like many Bobmin works, this is a Harry/Hermione ship and features Super!Harry. However, even if those two traits usually turn you off from a fic, don't pass this one by. Well-written and unlike anything else out there in my experience, ''Wizards Fall'' will have you simultaneously hating and pitying the villains of the piece even as the heroes' success is vaguely bittersweet. Features one of the most extraordinary versions of Luna Lovegood I've ever seen in fanfic.

 

''[http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?chapno=1&storyid=619 After the End]'' by Arabella and Zsenya

* ''Synopsis'': What happens after Hogwarts and Voldemort's defeat. Extrapolates an ending to the series, which had many elements that actually ended up happening in canon, and shows the characters assimilating to "normal" life without Voldemort.

* ''Comments'': Quite possibly the best fanfic This Troper has ever read. Warning: mild Sirius/Remus slash.

 

 

 

''[http://sciathan-file.livejournal.com/69180.html Death and King's Cross]'' by sciathan file

* ''Synopsis:'' Who knew death had etiquette enough to be personalized? Post-DH Afterlife story.

* Comments: Absolutely amazing, beautifully written one-shot comprised of snippets of varying lengths featuring the dead characters, mostly those who died during ''Deathly Hallows''. Each afterlife is brilliantly tailored to the character (there's the epic meeting of {{spoiler|Fred Weasley}}, mirrors, and James and Sirius), and leaves enough ambiguity and unanalyzed meaning to make the reader think for a long time and re-read over and over. It's also completely canon. Sirius and Dobby's interludes were especially poignant to this troper.

 

''[http://fanfiction.portkey.org/index.php?act=read&storyid=8254&chapterid=1 Remembering With Joy]'' by puck_nc.

* ''Synopsis'': Spoilers for D.H.! 65 years after the Battle for Hogwarts, George is dying. Oneshot

* ''Comments'': A wonderful take on George's death, as he reunites with his other half.

 

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3954448/1/Questions_and_Answers Questions and Answers]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/~little0bird Little0Bird]

* ''Synopsis'': Picks up right off from the Epilogue of ''Deathly Hallows'' and follows the younger generation for a few years. A fairly realistic look at how life continues. Excellent characterization (Albus is, as Molly puts it in one chapter, "exactly like Harry would have been if the Dursley's hadn't treated him like they did"). Author has a few minor deviations from canon (mostly departures from [[Word of God]]). Questions and Answers is a part of her larger post-DH universe which includes the following stories:

** ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7042965/1/On_a_Summers_Day The First Day]'' tells the story of the first year following the defeat of Voldemort.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4152700/1/Cauterize Cauterize]'' by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/24216/Lady_Altair Lady Altair]

* ''Synopsis'': Oneshot. "Of course it's missing something vital. That's the point." Dennis Creevey takes up his brother's camera after the war.

* ''Comments'': Probably the best oneshot I have ever read.

 

''[http://hpfandom.net/eff/viewstory.php?sid=42801 Life Ever After]'' by [http://hpfandom.net/eff/viewuser.php?uid=1365 Ophelia Raven]

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3682339/1/The_Golden_Age The Golden Age]'' by Arsinoe de Blassenville

* ''Synopsis'': After the War, Harry and Hermione try to carve out a life for themselves, but find difficulty living in a world at peace.

* ''Comments'': Theoretically set between the end of book 7 and the epilogue, although the author admits that he had to make a lot of changes to accommodate Rowling's shifting decisions on what happened in between. This story is an excellent example of flawed heroes. Both Harry and Hermione can't let go of the War and proceed to make many questionable decisions in the name of The Greater Good.

 

''[http://draco664.fanficauthors.net/Snapes_Worst_Nightmare/The_Sorting/ Snape's Worst Nightmare]'' by Draco664

* ''Synopsis'': What is Professor Snape's worst nightmare? Why, teaching the next generation of Potters and Weasleys!

* ''Comments'': This story is supposed to diverge from HP canon at some point after [[Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix]], since Sirius is dead but {{spoiler|Dumbledore is still alive}}. However, it does not deal with the war, but with the next generation of Potters and Weasleys. Somehow, the seven Weasley siblings have children that are born during the period of time that allows them to attend Hogwarts the same year, with 3 Potters and 9 Weasleys joining Gryffindor's ranks and doing their best to annoy the hell out of Snape and the Slytherins. Very, very funny!
