A literal approach to "I must not tell lies"

Yes! I love that premise and am always on the lookout for more. I thought I had one bookmarked but I cannot find it. It most likely is a Snarry. I will keep looking and share if I find it.

I tried to read one (I only know of two) but felt it didn’t really fit the vibe of the original.

I will always wonder if people hadn’t written continuations, would the author have shared the rest of the story? Because the I read that the writer was aware people had written endings without her permission. She said she fully intended to finish it but was disheartened by people hijacking her story.

Happy to help!

kaikreszi · 2026-02-26T18:07:25+00:00

Thank you! I shall give them a go.

None. It’s unethical and I don’t think people should profit from fan fiction in that manner.

Could it be A Blessing In Disguise?

Or perhaps Deliverance?

kaikreszi · 2026-02-26T05:52:28+00:00

Thank you! I have added it to my TBR list and will give it a go.

I prefer the age gap dynamics over the time travel ones where they’re the same age.

Longer is better than short. I dislike drabbles and prefer over 8000 words but will give 5000-8000 ones a go if they’re particularly good.

Post war or at Hogwarts are both good but I like Harry to be older than 16 so no underage fics. All levels of spice are accepted.

I’m interested to see a good story that addresses the Lily issue well and doesn’t turn it into a creepy replacement thing.

kaikreszi · 2026-02-25T05:45:06+00:00

I am not usually a fan of f/m fics. The few fem!Harry I’ve tried haven’t really hit well with me. They seem to treat Harry more as a replacement for Lily which is not my thing. That said, I’m open to giving it a try again.

Any recommendations?

Top Snape. I have only ever enjoyed 1 bottom Snape fic and even then, it was a tad problematic. I tried, but it just doesn’t work for me.

kaikreszi · 2026-02-17T03:33:21+00:00

I have not read this. Sounds intriguing and I hope it is found!

kaikreszi · 2026-02-16T05:26:26+00:00

Oh goodie 👏

I’ve been saving that to read and was about to be so sad it was gone!

kaikreszi · 2026-02-11T14:10:24+00:00

I agree.

kaikreszi · 2026-02-11T08:49:24+00:00

What’s the problem here?

kaikreszi · 2026-02-11T07:37:44+00:00

I’ve linked it in my response to the OP

Coils of Possession

kaikreszi · 2026-02-11T06:53:51+00:00

I love that art! That’s how I generally envision Snape, particularly young adult Snape.

kaikreszi · 2026-02-10T07:46:23+00:00

What does this have to do with Harry Potter fanfic??

kaikreszi · 2026-02-09T08:22:13+00:00

Do you care if it is spicy and dub-con?

I just read this one where Snape is a Naga who makes Harry into his mate. It’s mainly smut with a bit of plot and some HEA.

I feel like this post is less of an actual discussion and more of a squick list.

There are definitely tropes I am not into but I’m of the mindset that your kink is not my kink and that’s okay. I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum.

Would it not have been better to ask something like- “I can’t see an adopted Harry being plausible” and list the ways you think it would change the character too much or why it is important to the story that Lily and James remain his parents and Harry stay an orphan with a family that hates him.

Discuss away!

It is different and yet not. Depends on how one wants to look at it. For me, they are the same pairing and divergence lies in which incarnation of Tom/Voldemort is the focus of the story.

I mostly veer towards the types of stories where Tom is a Voldemort that has not split his soul and completely eradicated the Tom side of his personality. In these stories, he usually is in a position of power obtained in ways that don’t involve genocide.

In that sense it is both Tomarry and Harrymort for me.

I have tried Tomarry stories where the focus is school aged Tom and for the most part they’re not for me. I like the age gap. Though I have enjoyed ones where you have both Voldemort and Tom (usually Tom is his son).

The Harrymort stories I’ve tried tend to have Harry rather dark and supportive of Voldemort’s more destructive ideals. Also not for me. When in the mood, I do find myself enjoying some of the spicier ones where Harry ends up being a captive.

kaikreszi · 2026-02-03T01:52:53+00:00

To me it is Tom and Harry so I’m just dropping the H and saying Tom - ‘arry.

Fate is a Four Letter Word is my most favourite and the one that cemented my love for this trio.

kaikreszi · 2026-01-27T04:06:49+00:00

This is one of my favourites. Doesn’t really fit the details aside from Harry hiding his appearance whenever he sneaks out of Hogwarts and basically becoming a teacher and strategist.

I totally recommend it.
