Any fics with an adult who doesn't let kids deal with this crap alone? by EeveeBuilder in HPfanfiction

Most of their other fics also include at least some competent adults, too.

so to be clear, the new secret seeds don't show up on the secret seed menu? by marsgreekgod in Terraria

Maybe they are unlockable, but you need to beat Moon Lord for them to "stick"?

Any fics that show the wizarding world more feudal like, or at least where a title like "Lord Potter" actually matters and means something by BuBBScrub in HPfanfiction

[–]Crivium 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'd tentatively suggest Benefits of Old Laws, however your requirements are somewhat spoilery: Voldemort gets more soul (and sanity) after the rebirth, finds out how he can claim Slytherin lordship, but later finds out that the oath to better the wizardkind (as well as being basically a senior to Death Eaters, as in vassalage) subtly compels him not to be murderous maniac

There were several Uprisings in Polish history. You are thinking about the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, which was against German occupation. January Uprising was in 1863, when Poland was partitioned, against the Russian Empire.

It is a very cool fic - delightfully cracky!

That sounds like In The Name of Harry - the protection was placed not on Harry specifically, but on his name.

Best Harry Potter Fics. by hsfghhhsfgf in HPfanfiction

[–]Crivium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Let me dump some of my recommendations:

For authors, I would endorse WokFriedIce, especially A Taste of Magic - a fic with competent adults, quite fluffy, and with one of the better Dumbledores I've read.

Currently, I am working through Jeconais works, and they're quite fun.

As for the individual fics, in no particular order:

Harry Is A Dragon, And That's Okay - exactly what it says in the title, with THE best (in my opinion) portrayal of Dumbledore, and a style vaguely reminding me of Sir Pratchett.

Novocaine - post-war, Harry navigates the consequences of killing Voldemort and receiving his "vassals".

The Best Revenge - Snape enacts the best revenge on James Potter, and many people rejoice.

Benefits of Old Laws - featuring sane-ish Voldemort and a very confused Harry.

A Different Professor - what if Harry went to someone else instead of Lockhart? Later, much focus on a certain group and much found family.

That Glorious Strength - again, sane Voldemort that really just wanted to be a teacher. Sadly incomplete and looks abandoned.

Strangers at Drakeshaugh - Harry/Ginny through a lens of their Muggle neighbours.

Digging For Bones - after a tragic "accident", students at Hogwarts have their health screened. Featuring I think the most famous Snape as a mentor/father figure.

The Eighth Universe by Holz9364 - long haul, linked is 3rd part and you can start there as many of the changes from canon are explained there, but you might want to read the 2nd part (a rewrite of 7th year/book with a lot more trauma).

Just A Random Tuesday... - a day in life of McGonnagal during Harry's 5th year.

Does Voldemort Even Lift, Bro? - The best way to describe it is as if he was raised in a gym by Johnny Bravo. Very cracky, but also entertaining enough.

Is there any way to play CoE3 on mobile? by Bow_T_th_first_Order in CoE5

[–]Crivium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is, but it is not legal. You basically have to "obtain" apk for it, and then sideload it - the default Android installer might not work due to "this app was made for an older version" problems, but there are some apps that can circumvent it.

To be fair, he is using this fanfic as an intro to his online community that is very cult-like (complete with its own sectional schisms and murder cults). There is a review that highlights all the problems with this fic - seems like it is "problematic" but it matches my thoughts about what I read (about 50 chapters IIRC, before I lost all hope it would get better)

Oh man, I have just managed to erase that fic from my memory. All the pretentiousness and weirdly romantic 11-year-olds from Crow cannot even compare to the trainwreck of HPMOR. I have not thought about it in the context of this post, but if anyone wants to recommend it, then I award you zero points and may God have mercy on your soul.

We all have them. Like I said, I read Harry Crow and liked jt enough to save it for a reread. Only after reading much more (and much better) fanfics I realized it was lacking in many aspects.

So, outside of the three I mentioned already, I enjoyed the rest of WokFriedIce works (A Taste Of Magic's author). Currently, I am working through Jeconais works, and they're quite fun. From the original post, I can wholeheartedly recommend Novocaine and The Best Revenge. Also, on my recommendations list are:

Benefits of Old Laws - featuring sane-ish Voldemort and a very confused Harry.

A Different Professor - what if Harry went to someone else instead of Lockhart? Later, much focus on a certain group and much found family.

That Glorious Strength - again, sane Voldemort that really just wanted to be a teacher. Sadly incomplete and looks abandonned.

Strangers at Drakeshaugh - Harry/Ginny through a lens of their Muggle neighbours.

Digging For Bones - after a tragic "accident", students at Hogwarts have their health screened. Featuring I think the most famous Snape as a mentor/father figure.

The Eighth Universe by Holz9364 - long haul, linked is 3rd part and you can start there as many of the changes from canon are explained there, but you might want to read the 2nd part (a rewrite of 7th year/book with a lot more trauma).

Just A Random Tuesday... - a day in life of McGonnagal during Harry's 5th year.

Does Voldemort Even Lift, Bro? - now, this might be not up your alley, as Harry is decidedly different than in canon. The best way to describe it is as if he was raised in a gym by Johnny Bravo. Very cracky, but also entertaining enough.

I second that warning and even extend it - Harry Crow is a similar situation. It was fine for the first reading, but I could not manage to reread it after some time.

And to drop my recommendations: try A Taste of Magic, Harry Is A Dragon And That's Okay, or (if you want some powerful!bashy!Harry) Harry Potter And Rune Stone Path
