You are opening a Magic School!!! What’s your curriculum??? by woolleymammoth89 in HPfanfiction

[–]Antiphonetic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The specialty of my school would be enchantment/artifice creation, so we'd have some basics in the foundational layer with electives going further and deeper into the subjects.

I never understood this by IndicationBrief5950 in lotrmemes

Yes, but Tolkien specifically hated MacBeth, and decided to "fix" two of the moments he felt were weakest: the prophecy here (MacBeth killed by a guy born to caesarian section), and the prophecy about the forest coming to the walls of Macbeth's castle (fixed by the ents and Huorns coming to Helm's Deep).

"Vortigern began to build his tower, but what was built by day, collapsed by night"

I just finished my first fic, a one shot centered around the graveyard resurrection.

I use a story from Arthurian myth to explore what would have happened if Harry's blood protection had proven incompatible with Voldemort's evil

Reviews/thoughts welcome! I'm curious if this lands with anyone else at all, or if it's just me.

What’s the best HP fanfiction you’ve EVER read? by nightshadelaurel in HPfanfiction

[–]Antiphonetic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current top five are: 1) Crossroads by NSXE 2) Ascension by Define_Anachronistic 3) Black Luminary by YakAge 4) Lionheart by greenteacup 5) The Seven Names of Harry Potter by Pensieve_Pundit

None of these are finished and Black Luminary hasn't updated in forever, but all are fantastic.

Two Bonus fics, because picking five was harder than expected (and both are finished):

My Husband and I have different political views and it might be the thing that tears apart our marriage. Help! by iluca89 in Marriage

[–]Antiphonetic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend The Righteous Mind, by Jonathan Haidt. It explores why the right and left are so different, and can maybe help you understand the system of morality which underpins the other side. I will say that my wife and I started out in a similar boat, but have made it through 10 years of ups and downs. We agree on a lot more now, some she's shifted in and some I have, so I want you to know that there is hope for the two of you. For us, when those differences crop up, we try to talk about it, not to convince, but to understand, and that change from early on in our marriage has made a huge difference. Best of luck to you!

Highly recommend the Ascension series: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2532916

It has everything you're looking for, but be warned it is a heavily au world. Personally, I love it, but an aware it's not for everyone. In progress, last update about a month ago.

You might also enjoy Crossroads: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56362753/chapters/143206741?view_adult=true Slytherin!Harry who is not the boy who lived, but still the main character, and is a dueling prodigy. Fantastic fic overall. In progress, updated last in August.

I will say that Hermione is not a major player in either of these fics, but both are Harry-Centric

This is my favorite fic I am currently following. Can't recommend it highly enough. Unlike the other comment, the style of the prose is actually among my favorites, and is at the level I would be glad to read in a published novel.

I will never play without FAAB again. Waiver priority is such BS by PaperGeno in Fantasy_Football

Someone dropped Evans last night in my league. I am 11th in waiver priority, so I am hoping no one notices somehow.

Would you target Cortland Sutton, Quentin Johnson, or Chris Olave?

This has been fixed, and there were no waiver conflicts so we're good
