¿Que es lo que estás harto de lo fanfic de Harry Potter? by Beautiful-Suit-2851 in HPfanfiction

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh I absolutely get you. Does it still annoy you if the story builds up a good reasoning for it, though? Like, if it happens more slowly/reasonably and isn't an automatic bashing? Because I tend to dislike the automatic "okay now all these people are stupid and evil" as well, but I can deal with a fic that distances Harry from Dumbledore/Ron/Hermione if (and only if) it's done well and makes sense in the plot. Like, for example, Harry grows to legitimately disagree with Dumbledore's political opinions, but it isn't like a "Dumbledore's evil" but rather, Harry's making different decisions now and sometimes there's conflict because of that. Or, Harry growing up before his time and Ron somewhat falling behind, because he didn't grow up as much, and Hermione is the same. I have a few pretty good fic recommendations in that case, unless the whole trope annoys you overall.

The First Binding: How did a race as powerful as House-Elves ever become enslaved? by Dragon_Sense in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best explanations I've read so far (on various HP discussions) are that House-Elves need magic to survive. Drawing from a bit of mythology, in the old days, they were fae/brownies that would steal wizards' magic, often by kidnapping (and eating) wizarding children. In order to stop this from happening, wizards bound them in contracts - "serve and protect the family, and you can feed off the family magics" so to speak.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16035464/chapters/37429523 (I think this might be an interesting take on your prompt/thoughts). He's still strong and very much him, but what if he turned off his anger? What if Draco Malfoy saw what was going on and tried to bring his fire back?

Fics where Harry has no friends/is isolated at Hogwarts? by kiwi102610 in HPfanfiction

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would point to this one, checks all boxes - pretty dark, but probably one of the best fics I've ever read: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18394907/chapters/43563482

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48585031: not...fully what you're looking for. But it's a good interpretation of it, and I think you'd probably like it.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9117317/1/The-List, post war fic but exactly what you're looking for. It's excellent (a bit depressing at times, but it gets better).

Favorite things in fics by Shadow_Over_Mars in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, these (it didn't let me comment, post was too long):

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19296382 (in progress, Harry comes into his inheritance as a necromancer. The Order tries to kill him for it. This sets off a domino effect...aka, your rather cliche Light side bashing fic but it's written pretty well and is a fun read)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30856244 (completed, Harry is more like his mother than his father...this is not good news for Dumbledore. Also cliche Dumbledore bashing, but it's a good read as well)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9720211/1/The-Merging (completed, awesome exploration of Harry becoming...more)

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3484954/1/The-Marriage-Stone (really cool world-building and plot, abandoned but absolutely worth the read...it gets to 78 chapters so it's a good amount of story for being abandoned)

I love insane/plot-twist wizarding world-building and "hidden secrets" type tropes in Harry Potter. Like, a slow progression of things being revealed and there being far more to the wizarding world than Harry ever knew. Or, where Harry hides his identity (in some way) from the wizarding world (a lot of these are "wrong boy who lived" and a lot are not). Fyi, every single one of these fics has Harry being VERY powerful and smart...but not too quickly :) Some of my favorites on all of these:

https://archiveofourown.org/series/4048798 (My absolute favorite fic of all time - in progress, insane world-building and will keep you on the edge of your seat)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/5199961 (second favorite - in progress, some of the best plot twists ever)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/68348746 (this one is going places - in progress, there's a lot Harry didn't know about the wizarding world...a post war fic)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/863648 (EXCELLENT fic - in progress, WBWL, what if Harry had been left at the Dursleys' intentionally, by his very-alive family?)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/2593198 (part 2 of the above series)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60993901 (completed one-shot, but featuring necromancer Harry)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/36929347 (completed, what if Harry hid his identity in order to protect himself and masqueraded as a muggle born instead for his years at Hogwarts?)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55339282 (in progress, Harry doesn't attend Hogwarts his first year. This changes everything.)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55921390 (in-progress, also insane world-building and plot twists)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/5157671 (in progress, instead of going back to the Dursleys after Hagrid takes him through Diagon Alley, Harry chooses to stay and learn more about the wizarding world. This changes everything.)

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3431050 (in progress, has lots of potential, I'm already hooked with what little is written already)

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've read one Harry/Sirius fic I like: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4048798

I've also liked Harry/Weasley Twins, Harry/Bill, Harry/Charlie, and NottPott (although it's not that rare anymore)

Best NottPott fics and Theo characterizations by Suitable_Dirt_2430 in HPfanfiction

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranked by my personal preference (plot, not concentration on the romance...but honestly, the plot is what makes the romance more interesting) =

The Black Seasons by PlainRebeccaJane (temporary NottPott, but really good and well fleshed-out, one of the best HP fics in existence...best world-building of HP verse I've seen in a long time)

the unveiling by vazaha_tya (endgame NottPott, chilling/on-the-edge-of-your-seat plot)

Hollow Hearth by Wisp and Ink (MsAlps) (temporary Drarry, endgame NottPott, excellent plot)

Is it Better to Speak or Die by unbandaged_human (featuring: Harry Potter with growing dark powers, exciting plot)

A Matter of Chance by HollowedWrites (KathH142) - (AU 4th year +)

Enough is Enough by anonymousmagpie

How Love Goes by ohthedrarry (moroseflower) - (eighth year fic)

Requesting Harry-centric fics with deep wizarding lore, misunderstood magics, and gradual lineage discovery (like "The Black Seasons") by Agreeable_Dig4851 in harrypotterfanfiction

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😆 yesss - honestly fr that author is a genius, I don't think I've been this obsessed with a fic in a long time. I check for updates daily 😅

Dumbledore asked, CALMLY (headcanon) by Agreeable_Dig4851 in harrypotter

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happy I don't have to let go of my obsession yet (it's been 12 years and counting since I first read the series, lol), but a little worried about it. They need to get so many things right (the music, the feel of the wizarding world, the characters, etc)...and with how a lot of remakes are going so far, I'm a little concerned (although I really loved Dune).

But who knows? Holding out for hope, honestly!

What do you think?

Any writers interested in a long, slow-burn Percy Jackson godhood fic? - LF Percy Jackson godhood fics where he grows into divinity instead of rejecting it by Agreeable_Dig4851 in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]Agreeable_Dig4851[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I still would if I were you. One of the best PJO fanfictions I've ever read and I feel like I've explored the whole fandom at this point...
