Title: Five Women Who Hate Fleur Delacour

Author: </b></a></b></b></a></b></a></b></b></div>[info]snegurochka_lee

Fandom: Harry Potter

Rating: PG-13

Words: ~7,300

Link: here

Genre: mostly gen

Pairing: vaguely Fleur/Bill

Why should you care: because it’s a good genfic about an interesting character used way to rarely and badly. It manages to be good but in a very weird way that will make you hate Fleur only to feel like “crap, she’s right” in the end. Interesting. overall 8/10 given by a picky judge.

Quote: She imagined Fleur had followed the same path as so many girls before her: Molly Prewett, the best in her year at Muggle Studies who married Arthur and then let him fiddle around with television sets and windshield wipers; Narcissa Black, who spoke flawless French and German and lived secluded away in that manor like an aristocratic woman of ancient Athens; Nymphadora Tonks, the cleverest witch of her age who had endless talent, a brilliant job, and completely lost the ability to get out of bed in the mornings anytime a man she fancied refused to ask her out.

Minerva hated women like that.

 

 

 

Title: The Boy Who Lived

Author: PigWithHair

Fandom: Harry Potter

Link: here

Genre: gen + character death

Why should you care: in the last months I think I read about all the DH-compliant fics out there. I will say this once OMG!!! Now that that’s out, lets continue: basically this takes place 90 years in the future. Harry’s old. Ginny’s old, heck their kids are old and as for Ron and Hermione… let’s not go there. This is very canon compliant and for me it’s as close to an ending as HP could get for me. An advice : READ IT NOW!!!

Quote:

Should she mention his title as head of the Auror office for all those years? Should she include that he’d been a Triwizard Tournament champion in his youth? There were so many great things to say about him, but thinking back she remembered Mr Potter as he had appeared when she had first caught sight of him that day at his home, dressed in too-large trousers, an old housecoat and bedroom slippers. After two more attempts, she sat back and sighed, reading over what she had written.

Dedicated to the memory of

Harry James Potter

The Boy Who Lived

 

 

Title: unsticking the shadow

Author: </b></a></b></b></a></b></a></b></b></div>[info]pogrebin

Fandom: Harry Potter

Link: here

Genre: AU

Rating: PG-15 for the philosophical themes

Why should you care: have you ever wondered what would happen if the muggleborns were blamed for everything? If nothing read for the authors sheer brilliance. 10/10

Quote: Situational irony was used to great effect by a playwright by the name of William Shakespeare, and Hermione thinks there is something almost Shakespearian in the way that Voldemort begins his article by confessing his name and his heritage and ends it by using his own example to prove his point. Mudbloods are evil bastards, wizards and witches of the wizarding world- take look at how I turned out. Phrases like: a generation of crossbreed Dark Lords a coiled serpent of suppressed Muggle rage a sinister foe that walks among you and slowly drinks your blood.

The word “you” is what disturbs Hermione most about the entire piece.

“You” and “we”

“Them” and “us”

Voldemort has just placed himself on the side of the Muggleborns.

Hermione smiles suddenly.

It is beautiful and unspeakable.

Hermione meets Harry’s eyes and says, “Voldemort has just destroyed us.”

Title: Vainglorious


Author: [info]pridefall

Fandom: Naruto

Link:
here

Genre: gen

Pairing: none

Why should you care: this is one of the best akatsuki fics out there and trust me on that because practically everything I read in the Narutoverse is akatsuki. The author captures all of their characters beautifully and makes them seam believable.

The Fates be damned -- I will not die a fool.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune roars for the first time in fifteen years, and even the gods themselves tremble in fear.

 

 

Title: Crash

Author: sharingank

Fandom: Naruto

Link: here

Genre: mature

Pairing: tobi/ deidata

Why should you care: I must say that this is the fic that made dei/tobi one of my favourite crack pairings. This fic is just love in a very smutty though not too graphic way. Mainly it’s something you might just die of blood loss over. Did I mention that the dialogue is brilliant also? Check it. Seriously. Now.

Quote:

The water continued pouring down in a steady stream, covering both of them. Tiny droplets clung to the ends of Tobi’s black hair before falling like rain on Deidara’s skin.

“You’re too fucking tall, un.”

Tobi kissed him, hard.

“From my perspective, that’s an advantage.”

To prove it, he reached up and averted the showerhead so that the water wouldn’t impede him, and used his weight to press Deidara forward. In order to prevent being jabbed in the stomach by the brass faucet handle, Deidara had to brace his hands against the slick wall.

Well shit.

Tobi spoke the truth. Deidara did know what the dumbass was doing. And he wasn’t sure he liked it.

Then again…

He wasn’t sure he disliked it either. This side of Tobi was completely new. Usually, Deidara was the aggressor.

Shit, shit, shit.

Pairing: none

Why should you care:

I began reading it reluctantly, but after the first paragraph I couldn't stop. It's gripping, interesting and a very original and non-morbid( is that even a word?) take on Naruto's death. It's one of those stories that manages to be sweet but not sappy or sad.

Quote: So it was, as one hundred and sixteen years of age, Uzumaki Naruto passed into his last great adventure. He had lived a long and fulfilling life, bringing light into every life he touched.
