00567 | | Online Harry Potter RPG. Long, complicated, ongoing. Surprisingly good, although it varies from place to place. The basic premise: Voldemort won the war. Now an underground resistance runs around being angsty and dramatic. Some rather dark bits, some really funny bits, and one of my favorite romances ever. Assasin!Sirius and Crazy!Seamus are perfect together. |

00569 | Neville and Percy become friends. Very, very good friends. Percy does something stupid. Very, very stupid. He suffers for it. Very, very much. But not as much as Neville.
Khirsah is one of the best authors I've run across, and she know her characters like she was the one that went to school with them. This is very sweet and very angsty. |

00570 | Authors' Notes: "This is not sweet, fluffy Remus/Sirius. When Khirsah and I tackled the Remus/Sirius dynamic we were pretty much motivated by a unilateral hatred of a neutered Remus and Sirius. Bleh. Yes, they're so sweet. They're so gentle. They don't fuck, they fade to black. And if they do fuck (oh, wait, they don't fuck, they *make love*), they're kind, and considerate, and Sirius tops. What-thefuck-ever. This series has its sweet moments, but it's central themes are very dark. Remus struggles with his lycanthropy, and with sexual abuse. Sirius goes through hell in the process of loving Remus. And when they fuck, they *fuck*."
And when Ailei says dark, she means *dark*. But if you like intense, this is the story for you. |

00576 | Basically, it's simple. 8-) Keith and Carson are the reincarnation of the ultimate wizard and warrior; they've been yanked into the alternate reality that is going to need them for something desperately heroic once they gain their full powers. They've been somewhat physically changed to adapt to this new environment. It's almost an elaborate version of those Ultima computer games where a modern-day guy was pulled into a fantasy world, except, uh, they screw a lot. They are two California boys originally. Now they're something other. WIP

00588 | | One continous storyline, both authors - this is a massive arc of sort of self-contained fics. As always, Tenshi and llamajoy write thoughful, poetic stories. A certain amount of action contrasts with backstage angst. Worth reading the 40+ (!) stories in this. And their stand-alones. And their humorfics. Hell, just read everything on their site. You'll be glad you did. |

Harry/Draco |

00614 | This is the first in this series - A Rare Descent, Passing Through, The Eleventh Doorkeeper, and The Seasonless World. They all blow me away. This is not a happy series, but it is totally beautiful. The way shalott writes the magic in this gives you a sense of the depth of the mythology behind this. The slash is fairly vague, and after they... fall in love? connect? Harry and Draco spend the rest of the series apart. However, their relationship is, despite the lack of overt refrences, the center of these stories. This series breaks my heart. The angst is so well done. I can't say this enough - absolutely beautiful tragedy.
Unfortunatly, the series doesn't seem to be finished. Not a cliffhanger, but certainly not resolved. I know everyone hates stalled works-in-progress, but this one is worth it. |

00618 | *Quote* "I have never felt right. I think I have always known this about myself, and suppressing it was hard, and took suppressing all of it, suppressing everything. I have been holding my breath for fourteen years, waiting to feel normal. So, I didn't think I'd ever find that, that thing you talked about like it was everything."
This story is near the end of a series, but I want to recommend it separately. It's mostly about coming out, to other people, but also to yourself. The rest of the series is worth your time, but this story really has something to say. You can find the previous stories on the author's site, or here: http://www.ashesofoldlovers.net/worldscollide.html |

00623 | | Beware, this is an ebook, not just a fic. And the quality of the writing justifies the length. Lust Over Pendle is a comedy of manners set in the Golden Age detective thriller genre, and is presumed to take place after the end of the seventh Harry Potter book, and, therefore, after the fall of Voldemort. The slash is fairly discreet, despite the title. A classic of the fandom. |

The first few fics focus on the unlikely relationship between Bats and MM, but the series goes on to explore the Batfamily and all it's sattelite members in loving detail. Slips into domestic!fic at times, but the wonderful action/adventure episodes balance it out. Chicago has a great feel for the Bat 'verse. |

Authors note: See, once upon a time people used to talk a lot about how Professor Xavier was a cult leader. And then Dr. Benway wrote a little story called X-Manson, where Xavier really *was* a cult leader. It was a very, very good story. The stuff which nightmares are made on.
So then I started thinking about Batman. About the
things people -- people like me -- said about Batman.
And I wrote this story.
Yes, I'm in therapy.
No, I don't live near you.
