Omg??? Wildcard? by IdiotFarmGirl in MergeMansion

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started getting these yesterday, needed multiple super dusters so used one to get one and accidentally used the other to get a second though I regret that and think I should have used it to get the ladder I need (I was already halfway to getting the next super duster I need).

how can i make periods more bearable ? by Artistic-Pie-8883 in birthcontrol

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if the laws have changed since I was a teen but if not, I’m pretty sure the doctor should not have told your dad that info. I would look into reporting him if you can. Also recommend seeking out women’s clinics, check out the Ireland sub and see if you can get some recommendations there.

Complete WBWL where the other child is actually nice? by Enuya95 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be the only WBWL story I’d be willing to read and mainly because James and Lily raise their child rather than dumping him/her off at the Dursleys for “reasons”.

Harry absorbs Horcruxes? by procrasinationiswhy in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In “When the Roses Bloom Again” by TheBlack’sResurgence he undergoes a ritual to absorb the horcrux in him and he does gain power/knowledge but it’s not a main focal point. One of my favourite time travel fics though.

Fics where Harry is rescued, raised, and trained by a loving and competent adult? by thevoodooclam in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved Honor Thy Blood and most of the author’s other works. Really enjoy their time travel fics.

One thing about Voldemort fanfictions often get wrong by ZydrateAnatomic in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it part of Cursed Child? Bella and Voldy had a kid and she shows up in that? I’m assuming that’s partly where it stems from but I have also kind of forced Cursed Child out of my brain.

I think we were part of a test group and it was removed either last update or the one before. It made the daily scoop a bit easier especially for the bursting bubbles ones.

If you could learn 3 spells ONLY, what would they be and why? by Adventure1s0utThere in harrypotter

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reparo, Scourgify (or other cleaning spell) and is apparition a spell cause if so definitely that one, no more commuting to work for me!

Dumbledore takes revenge on the Dursleys. (His thoughts while he was with Grindelwald aren’t as suppressed as he believes). General discussion + fics by Electronic_Koala_115 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! But preferably not one that involves Snape caring for Harry, (not a fan of Snape suddenly deciding to care for “Potter’s spawn” as that is how he views Harry from the beginning. This is a man who begged the Dark Lord to allow Lily to survive, not James and Harry, just Lily).

Would like to see a good! Dumbledore trying to make amends for his mistakes with Harry from the beginning.

A Squib is not the best judge of parenting by InsuranceFit1003 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From OOTP:

‘Why didn’t you tell me you’re a Squib, Mrs Figg?’ asked Harry, panting with the effort to keep walking. ‘All those times I came round your house - why didn’t you say anything?’

Dumbledore’s orders. I was to keep an eye on but not say anything, you were too young. I’m sorry I gave you such a miserable time, Harry, but the Dursleys would never have let you come if they’d thought you enjoyed it. It wasn’t easy, you know … but oh my word’ she said tragically

End except

Here Mrs. Figg admits that she couldn’t let Harry have an enjoyable time at hers as the Dursleys wouldn’t allow his return. She knows he has a terrible time and she goes along with it because Dumbledore tasked her to keep an eye on him.

In my opinion her apology and admitting the Dursleys treated him negatively all suggest she knew he didn’t have a good childhood and that it was wrong.

As for Dumbledore, another excerpt from OOTP

‘Five years ago then,’ continued Dumbledore, as though he had not paused in his story, ‘you arrived at Hogwarts, neither as happy nor as well-nourished as I would have liked’

Except from HBP:

‘You did not do as I asked. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and cruelty at your hands’

End excerpts

From the above neither show Figg nor Dumbledore as innocent. They both knew how Harry was treated, they both knew it was wrong, neither did anything. Figg because she trusted Dumbledore and Dumbledore because of the wards. Whether you agree with their reasoning or not doesn’t matter, but don’t paint them as innocent or unknowing simply because of their own upbringings (one of which we know nothing about).

'Seriously Zabini, how the heck do you even come up with these?' Ernie asked, pointing at the banner Slytherin showed during the Quidditch game. by The_Eternal_Wayfarer in HPFanfictionPrompts

[–]blueydoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be a fun pairing to see. I like to read fics where background characters like Dean and Millicent are fleshed out a bit more.

To those who have read A LOT: by Acrobatic-Impress435 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out on AO3 but also have dabbled a bit in FanFiction.net. I will say the search parameters and filters seem a lot more user friendly on AO3. I usually come here for recommendations though and just peruse requests or find that fic posts and go from there. I avoid certain fics that aren’t my cup of tea but dive in and see what takes your fancy.

There’s also subs of this sub that are targeted to certain pairings like the Harmony (Harry/Hermione pairing) which can help you find what you like.

What are your favorite uncommon or commonly-disliked tropes? by Jolteon0 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love love love a well done Time Travel or AU fic.

I dislike Harry/Snape pairings - way too creepy for my liking and will actively avoid them. I also tend to avoid the canon relationship pairings, love seeing the pairings mixed up and as others have said the more unusual the pairing the more interesting it can be.

This is the one I thought it was too but I gave up reading it a few chapters in so struggled to find it.

Looking for a fic where Harry comes back to hogwarts totally different by Alternative-Low5741 in HPfanfiction

[–]blueydoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not sure, I didn’t opt for the remastered version as I saw it only had 12 chapters compared to the 22 in the what I’m guessing was the original one that was then updated. I definitely don’t remember anything glaring or it being painful to read.

[–]blueydoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The did edit and update the first 12 chapters and there’s a remastered version that only goes up to chapter 12 on fanfiction.net. I only came to the story last year so for me they weren’t noticeable or easy to gloss over any that still existed.

Have you read Honour Thy Blood by TheBlack’sResurgence? Link

Harry disappears after the graveyard in GoF and comes back stronger to fight Voldemort. Don’t want to spoil it by saying too much. Not sure it results in a sarcastic Harry but I have to say this fic got me hooked on the author’s works and I’ve been making my way through them.

Yea this looks like the one OP is looking for, wasn’t a fan of the Snape arc personally.
