''[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-6136/Tassos+The+Flat+Next+Door.htm The Flat Next Door]'' by Tassos (crossover with ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'')
* Recommended by [[User:Looney Toons]], [[User:Caellach Tiger Eye]], [[Tropers/Maybe Baby|Maybe Baby]]
* ''Synopsis'': In an alternate summer after the events of ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix|Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix]]'', Harry and the Dursleys are moved by the Order into an apartment when 4 Privet Drive is identified and targeted by the Death Eaters. Harry finds little to recommend the change until he meets the gentleman living in the next apartment -- one Mr. Rupert Giles, whose quiet and respectful friendship saves Harry's sanity and soul from the depths of despair.
* ''Comments'': Set after the final episode of ''BTVS'' and featuring almost none of the other characters from the series, this is a low-key story that nonetheless carries an unexpected emotional intensity, all the way to its quietly surprising ending.
** [[User:Caellach Tiger Eye]]: Seconded. Rarely have I ever read a story with such charm and heart involved. The unusual friendship which blooms between Harry Potter and Rupert Giles is incredibly moving and carries the story all on its own. While short, it was immersive, and I lost track of time and everything else until after it was concluded. It proves that one doesn't need 100,000 words of over-the-top drama to capture the essence -- and more importantly, the heart -- of these two highly deep series.
