SingularOddities: Escape
Fandom: Harry Potter

AU. A marriage law is instigated during Hermione's sixth year. Hermione considers her options and makes her choice, it just wasn't the one they were expecting. By saving herself Hermione's decisions cause ripples to run through the Order. The game has changed, those left behind need to adapt to survive. Canon up to the HBP, Dumbledore lives, Horcrux are still in play.

This is one where the author's description is very deceptive and does not at all do the fic justice. It's true that the initial premise is the much maligned marriage law but this is an utterly minor part of what is a wonderfully rich, complex and very adult fic. All the characters are brought to life with great depth and sympathy (including Snape!), each has his or her role to play and this is explored in great detail. Percy's role in this is particularly interesting in that it fits perfectly with canon yet enlarges on and explains his behaviour, allowing him to become one of the unsung heroes. The final battle between Harry's Secret Order and Tom Riddle is almost too easy until you review just how much careful preparation has gone into setting it all up. Definitely one of those fic where you think "Yes, this is what JKR *should* have written."

holdmybeer: The Sum of Their Parts
Fandom: Harry Potter

For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would become a Dark Lord. For Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter would take down the Ministry or die trying. He should have known that Hermione and Ron wouldn't let him do it alone.

I've read stories before that have been based on the premise of Harry being totally pissed off with the Wizarding World either before or after having won against Voldemort. However, I don't think I've ever read one before that is so attractively spine-chilling in its portrayal of The Dark Lord Potter. Still intensely loyal to his friends but so utterly disgusted by the Ministry and Wizengamot that his nickname becomes The Fiendfyre Lord. Very believably characterised and clever use of magic. Definitely worth reading.

ShoeQueen: Chance Encounter
Fandom: Stargate SG1

Tag to 1969. They were supposed to interact with as few people as possible, but this chance encounter was years in the making.

I do like cleverly done time-travel/paradox stories and this one, although short, is definitely well written. Set during the episode "1969" where SG1 is sent back in time. As well as being amusing, it portrays Jack/Sam beautifully.

Muggledad: The Last Casualties
Fandom: Harry Potter

"Lily, it's him! Take Harry and run!" It began the same way, but ended in a very different way. This change caused life instead of death for many. Life altering changes provide the Power The Dark Lord Knows Not.

James and Lily's unexpected entrance into Hogwarts at the very moment that Harry's name is called out as the fourth entrant to the Triwizard Tournament is just the beginning of a new life for Harry with both family and massive danger.

This is an exceedingly well written story but is quite dark, with a highly manipulative Dumbledore. It covers the ascent of Voldemort over a conquered Britain, with Harry and other exiles fighting back viciously from overseas. Full of guerilla warfare, politics and betrayals it is enthralling but only recommended if you're looking for a fic you can get your teeth into.

Note that it is WiP and the author only seems to update infrequently (~yearly). What's written so far is definitely worth it if you don't mind WiPs.

Length: long, WiP (32 chapters so far)

WhiteSquirrel: Lady Archimedes
Fandom: Harry Potter

Years 5-7. Armed with a N.E.W.T. in Arithmancy after Voldemort's return, Hermione takes spellcrafting to new heights and must push the bounds of magic itself to help Harry defeat his enemy once and for all.

Continues the story of MathsGenius!Hermione begun in The Arithmancer. Hermione is increasingly taking on a leadership role in the war, with even Dumbledore deferring to her skills. In the meantime Voldemort has taken over the Ministry and is implementing his version of the "Final Solution". Hermione has reluctantly become the leader of the resistance, while Harry concentrates on other things, and is desperately fighting a battle against overwhelming odds.

Note: This is a WiP but is regularly updated every few weeks.

WhiteSquirrel: The Arithmancer
Fandom: Harry Potter

Hermione grows up as a maths whiz instead of a bookworm and tests into Arithmancy in her first year. With the help of her friends and Professor Vector, she puts her superhuman spellcrafting skills to good use in the fight against Voldemort. Years 1-4.

This is an unashamedly Hermione-centric story, with the emphasis on Genius!Hermione. If you're mathematical like me then you'll love this one - the author is clearly mathematically trained and has incorporated that into the story but you don't need to be a mathematics whiz to enjoy this. The writing quality is superb and, as it diverges further from canon, Hermione takes on a more and more important role in the fight against Voldemort.

Lumendea: Guardians of the Universe series

draconin — Fri, 08 Dec 2017 08:13:16 GMT

Lumendea: Guardians of the Universe
Fandom: Dr Who

All it took to change the universe was one little alteration to the time line of Rose Tyler when she was eleven years old. While an alien hunts her and preys on children, Rose meets a remarkable man called the Doctor. Suddenly her childhood is full of adventure, aliens and lots of running that will change the course of her life.

This is a very well written series where Rose becomes involved with the Doctors (9, 10 and 11) at a very young age. She is thrust into the universe of aliens and threats and, with typical Rose bravery, responds magnificently. It's an amazing alternate backstory for Rose that draws in the Doctor's other companions. It's Rose-centric and is full of friendships, UNIT, companions, various forms of the Doctor, alien invasions, and running for your life. But the shining star in this is Rose. Her evolution and life, and the way that she's just fantastic.

The series overlaps both in plot and characters with the Sarah Jane series. The format is episodic, with each story consisting of a dozen or so 'episodes', each one being a 4-5 chapter re-write of an episode from either Dr Who or The Sarah Jane Adventures but with very substantial changes due to the changes to Rose's character and timeline. The episodes are also totally out of order due to Rose's timeline interacting with so many of the Doctor's incarnations.

Although the last in the series is a WiP it is updated with clockwork regularity every week or so and the others are self-contained and complete.

The series consists of:

The Blonde Girl

Defender of the Earth

The Companion Connection

Time and Trickster

The Tyler Factor

Under the Mistletoe Moon

Child of Earth

Travels in Time and Space (WiP)

LeadVonE: Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches - Revenge is Best Served Raw
Fandom: Harry Potter

This is a fascinating and immensely complex remake of the "Harry dies, meets Death/Fate & is sent back" genre. In this version, as laid out in the first two chapters (so I'm really not giving spoilers here), there are three time lines operating. In the first, John Potter (Harry's twin, aka "The BWLived but not really", aka spoiled arsehole supreme) framed Harry (the real BWLived, abandoned by his parents as a squib (who have survived) and brought up by the Dursleys) for the depredations of the basilisk with the aid of manipulative!Dumbledore and had him sent to Askeban. Cue John dies in the graveyard, Voldemort takes over, mass deaths etc but also Harry learning hugely through his link with Voldemort which the Dark Lord gloats in keeping active while wiping out all of Harry's friends and most of the muggleborns.

In the second timeline John, send back by Death & Fate in disgust at his stuffing things up, is determined to get it right this time. Needless to say he doesn't.

In the third time line, Death and Fate have decided that Harry is their final hope to get it right and so so they send him back to age 8 complete with all the skills he learned through his link with Voldemort. Needless to say Harry is totally pissed off and very Grey.

Now comes the complexity: For Harry, this is his first trip back and he's determined to change things as much as possible and he now knows what's going on with John & Dumbledore. For John, this is also his first trip back and he wants to keep the timeline intact as much a possible so that he can predict what happens. However, he has no idea that his second timeline is now overlapping Harry's third or that Harry is also a time traveller. So he has no idea why Hermione and Ginny suddenly seem to hate him and who the hell is this "Lord Slytherin" who's so prominent but didn't exist the last time through?

This is, as I said, immensely complex. If you're not into WiPs then you won't like this at all. With the story beginning at age 8 there is a lot of lead up to even arriving at Hogwarts (chapter 16) and after 40 chapters we're only just getting to the end of first year. Lots of backstory in the politics and the logic of the spellwork and magic theory learned. Well worth the read!

Le'letha: Paint the Town Red
Fandom: Castle, BtVS

To solve the murder of a young woman, Beckett and Castle take their case into an underworld of Slayers and the supernatural. …Looks like Buffy is visiting the Big Apple after all.

This is an unusual fic in that it goes out of its way to delve into the mythos of the new Slayer generation post-Sunnydale. The culture, the slang terms, the developing divide between the Slayers and the mundies (normal people) is a fascinating background to the murder mystery that is primarily the focus via Beckett & Castle. Frankly I would have loved to see a sequel, as there were innumerable plot strings that begged to be developed but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. Overall, a very different and intelligent story.

Rating: M (violence)

Silverfawkes: Trust is a Relative Thing
Fandom: Harry Potter

What if Petunia put the blame where it belonged instead of on Harry? OOC Petunia Dursley.

Well plotted and sufficiently AU to be very different and interesting. Slytherin!Harry with Gryphindor tendencies and a highly focussed motivation that he's going to live his own life and damn anyone (such as Dumbledore) who tries to force him in directions he doesn't want to go. This is one of those really annoying WiPs that's so well written that I read it even knowing that it's probably abandoned. If you're able to handle WiPs, particularly ones that probably are abandoned, then this is well worth a look. Especially at 51 chapters.

Blueowl: To Shape and Change
Fandom: Harry Potter

AU. Time Travel. Snape goes back in time, holding the knowledge of what is to come if he fails. No longer holding a grudge, he seeks to shape Harry into the greatest wizard of all time, starting on the day Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley. No Horcruxes.

This is one that I've recently re-read & I'm amazed that I didn't add it to this list long ago; it's outstanding. Snape's character is AU but, given the horrific future he's come from and his friendship there with Harry developed over years of fighting together, this is not surprising. His careful manipulations and guidance are well plotted and very logical. Harry's abilities are considerably more than in canon but don't approach the common pitfall of becoming super!Harry. Voldemort is convincingly and chillingly portrayed without being caricatured as he often is. Highly recommended, even for those (like me) for whom Snape is not a favourite character.

BooksOfChange: The Closet of Possibility
Fandom: Harry Potter, BBC Sherlock

Sequel to A Study in Magic and A Study in Magic: The Application.

Harry Potter accidentally turns 221B's cleaning supply closet into a magical portal that leads to worlds that reflect the deepest, most desperate curiosity of a person. Sherlock, unfortunately, didn't know that when he opened it to take out the vacuum cleaner.

This is a triple xover between classic Sherlock of Victorian England, BBC Sherlock of modern day and Harry Potter. Told from the point of view of classic Sherlock and Watson, it portrays their reactions to interacting with our modern day Sherlock. It's short and more in the nature of a Xmas fic than a serious part of the series... but it's cute and amusing.

BooksOfChange: A Study in Magic
Fandom: Harry Potter, BBC Sherlock

When Professor McGonagall went to visit Harry Watson, son of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, to deliver his Hogwarts letter, she was in the mindset of performing a familiar if stressful annual routine. Consequently, she was unprepared to find the cause behind Harry Potter's disappearance.

This is a fascinating xover between the BBC Sherlock series and Harry Potter. It is slightly AU in Sherlock canon in that John Watson is female and married to Sherlock. Yes, yes, "John" and "married???" but it all makes sense and is well justified within the fic. Sherlock is perfectly portrayed and you can well imagine that his attitudes and abilities leave the wizarding world nonplussed to put it mildly! Plus a Harry Potter raised by him and John is NOT going to take the sort of shit that canon!Harry took and is going to take a far more analytical look at magic.

This is one of those ones that at first glance should never work and yet, through the sheer brilliance of the writing, leaves you breathless and wanting more. Highly recommended. It is currently a trilogy with part 1 complete, part 2 a WiP and Part 3 a short stub of a few chapters that's more of a Xmas fic than a real part of the series. Updates are not frequent but it is not abandoned.

Temporal Knight: Harry Potter and the Rune Stone Path
Fandom: Harry Potter

At age 10 Harry finds a chest left by his mother with books on some of her favorite subjects and quickly finds that he is a rune savant. His talent for understanding and creating runes sets Harry onto a very different path than anyone had expected.

While still following a similar path (troll, basilisk, tournament) this ends up diverging massively from canon and is quite original and entertaining. It mostly manages to avoid the Super!Harry trap by ensuring that all his powers are well explained and consistent, but does stray that way a bit at times.

To quote the summary: "So. Giles decides he's 'standing in the way' and buggers off back to England. What a load of horse shit. For those who don't agree, the specifics of the author's argument are encapsulated within the fic. Fortunately fan fiction writers don't have to incorporate annoying logistical details like 'one of our ensemble is leaving the permanent cast and will only be available sporadically'. Here's what I came up with instead."

This is a Tabula Rasa fic and, for those wanting a Buffy/Giles fic... no, it's not really that. What it does is try to resolve the whole 'leaving' and (in passing) the 'Spike-kissage' issues in a whole lot more mature and believable fashion than the show did. And leaves a few doors open. :-)

Harry is dumped onto the bridge of the Enterprise D in the aftermath of his defeat of Voldemort. This is the story of his new life.

I found this a very interesting story in that, while he enriches the plot, this is far more a STNG story than it is an HP one. Which is as it should be considering the setting. Magic is such an easy deus ex machina in non-HP 'verses that it's refreshing to see a story that incorporates it without letting it dominate; although Harry's magical abilities certainly play a part it is his adoption into the STNG crew and lifestyle that is the main point and this is very well handled, with believable attitudes on both his and the crew's side. The female Klingon character K'mpok (Kim) who plays love interest is really excellent and overall I was left very definitely wanting a sequel.

kaylysilverstorm: Stages of Hope
Fandom: Harry Potter

Author's summary: Professor Sirius Black, Head of Slytherin house, is confused. Who are these two strangers found at Hogwarts, and why does one of them claim to be the son of Lily Lupin and that git James Potter?

"You should go back to them," he said. "They'll be missing you soon, and I'm sure your husband is looking forward to another dance with you."
Lily's eyes swept from his face across the long stretch of silent shadows over to the other room, where there was light and warmth and music. The distance seemed insurmountable to her, and the moving shapes twisted, like seen through a pane of unevenly blown glass.
Her son. In darkness even when surrounded by light. Always on the outside, looking in. "No," she said calmly. "No. I think I'd rather stay here, Harry, with you."

I've come across a few stories of dimension hopping Harry but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. The author's summary terms it as "dark humour" but I don't know that I'd agree; it's certainly dark in places but the overall feel is hopeful. And although there are certainly humorous moments the level of angst is such that I would never have used humour as part of its description. Unless you're referring to the type of humour that makes you laugh as you cry.

This Harry, Hermione, Neville & Luna have accidentally come from one AU world to another. Their world is one where, to put it mildly, things have NOT gone well. They are all shell shocked and suffering from massive PTSD, none more so than Harry. So finding a world where Serverus is Head of Gryphindor, he & Lily are still friends, the Malfoys are on the side of the good guys and... well follow the link and find out. It grabbed me within a few chapters and just wouldn't let go. The quality of writing is amazingly good and I repeatedly found myself going back to reread a paragraph or page, sometimes having to stop and wipe the tears away first. Read it!

rosewarren: Don't Blink
Fandom: Dr Who

What if Rose stayed with the Doctor through Doomsday? What if she was the one who ended up stuck in 1969 with him?

Blink is IMHO one of the cleverest, most fascinating episodes in the whole series and my only complaint about it was always that Rose was gone (damnit!). Apparently the author agrees with me because this AU has Rose staying with the Doctor rather than ending up with Jackie and Pete in the other universe. Consequently she's the one who "goes domestic" with the Doctor in 1969 and we get to see what happened at the other end of the loop to the point of view of Sally Sparrow portrayed in Blink. We see Billy as he makes his mark in his new world and tag along as Rose and the Doctor have a few adventures while they wait for the Tardis to rescue them. This also gives time for a relationship to develop and deepen.... :-)

The quality of the writing is outstanding in this fic; the interweaving small plots and the careful attention given to fleshing out OCs makes it memorable and well worth reading despite being a wip.

Note: (Oct '14) No update for a year. There is certainly more than enough already written to make it worth reading but it does end with numerous threads unresolved.

In the station between Life and Death Harry makes a different choice. Now he's eleven again, no one is turning out the same way, the Sorting Hat won't Sort him, the Malfoys are looking at him strangely, and - it's time for another visit.

We're all familiar with the standard HP "do-over" fics, so it takes something exceptional to make me recommend one here, especially one that's a WiP. But this one stands out proudly with such masters as S'TarKan's Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past and Jedi Buttercup's Back Again, Harry. Rather than simply trying to follow the same path but eliminating his errors Harry takes another path entirely, uniting the houses and making friends in totally unexpected places.

Chilord: A Fine Spot of Trouble

A little over six years have passed since the events that ended the second reign of Voldemort. Now, Harry Potter is the one that needs to be rescued. Rising to this challenge is... Draco Malfoy?

I'm not normally a fan of anything featuring Draco since I basically see him as having very few redeeming features. But this one just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Essentially, sometime after the war's over, Draco comes across Harry in a bar pissed out of his mind and smelling like the sewer he's been sleeping in for some time. When Harry's 'friends' won't step up to the plate Draco, very much against his better judgement, takes on the task of rehabilitating Harry Potter. A great deal of wonderful snark ensues, together with a *very* reluctant friendship. Worth reading.

Time travel fics are a dime a dozen in the HP fandom but this one stands out as being distinctly different. Hermione Granger is going back not just a few years, but 20 years.

Fortunately she has Sirius Black, age 21, Marauder extraordinaire and professional prankster on her side. What can possibly go wrong?

The writing in this monumental fic is of a very high quality, with a convoluted, gripping plot and detailed, believable characters. You'll also love the dry humour that abounds. The romance between Hermione and Sirius is very well handled.
