Harry Potter fanfic recommendations

[mysid]

I don’t rec stories as often as I should—I do it very rarely, I must admit—but it’s not because I don’t find your stories brilliant. Rather, it’s that those who have friended me (and who else reads my LJ?) generally have friended each other as well. So most of the wonderful stuff I read here on LJ, you’ve probably discovered on your own.

Recently I seem to have come across numerous wonderful stories by authors whom I’ve never read before—some here on LJ, some elsewhere. I’ve tried to retrace my steps and find them all again so I can share them with you. With some of these authors, I found just one story that I really loved, and with others, I loved almost everything. I’m enclosing links to just one story from each author however. Once you read that one, if you like it, read more!

All ratings are those provided by the authors.

Alternate Moonlight by Julie Fortune
It’s R/S slash with the other R/S slash mixed in—and the Ministry of Magic being bastards to Remus throughout. Tense, poignant, hot. One chapter.
Rating: Adult

Bite to Break the Skin by obeetaybee
“Fenrir always extracts revenge against those who offend him.” One chapter.
Rating: R

The Dating Disasters of Sirius Black by KabeyK
KabeyK says, “For some reason unfathomable to Remus, Sirius always likes to tell him in excruciating detail about his various romantic problems. Not fluffy.” I say, as soon as I finished reading it, I went back to the beginning and reread it several times—it was that good. Eleven chapters.
Rating: R

Photograph by mackittenx
A photo of Sirius causes Remus to look at him differently. One chapter.
Rating: R

Photograph: You’re the Only One I Want to Touch Remix by midnitemaraud_r
A prequel to “Photograph” from Sirius’s POV. I love Sirius’s evolution in this one! One chapter.
Rating: M

Pictures in the Dark by Lossenrhos
Regulus on the verge of a choice and remembering other choices made. One chapter.
Rating: K+

There. That should keep you all busy reading for awhile. Happy reading, my friends!

Did you see that there's a snippet of it on her journal somewhere... I don't remember how I found it, but it's there. And SO DAMN CUTE.
