Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I don't read very many fandoms, so here are a few Harry Potter fics that have made me happy this past year. In order from shortest to longest.

A Store of Happiness by coyotesuspect Sirius/Remus - G 10845 words
Harry spends the summer after his third year living with Sirius and Professor Lupin.

Rec note:
Mostly, this one just made me giggle. Especially with Sirius and Remus trying to keep their relationship a secret - badly.


What We Pretend We Can't See by gyzym Draco/Harry - M 131,086 words
Seven years out from the war, Harry learns the hard truth of old history: it’s never quite as far behind you as you thought.

Rec note:
This is a fic I have reread multiple times this past year. It's just... It's a fic I want to hug for hours. I think the best description of it is in the Notes: "It features all of my favorite things: gratuitous depictions of cooking, at least one character who is clinically incapable of shutting his mouth, and borderline-unhealthy drinking partaken of by 20-somethings whose lives aren’t quite what they thought they were going to be, somehow."

I have it saved to my kindle, and I plan to keep it there.


Oh God Not Again! by Sarah1281 Basically Gen - G 150,731 words
So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

Rec note:
This fic is glorious. I found it because there was a post on tumblr going around about it, and it lived up to the hype. Harry accidentally goes back in time and wakes up on his eleventh birthday with all his memories still intact. It's also basically a glorious fix-it for Sirius's death (mysterious disappearance through the veil), as well as fixing a number of the things that I found annoying about the books. Harry claims his future knowledge comes from his psychic scar, which annoys Hermione SO MUCH, and Luna totally believes him about being from the future, because of course she does.

Terrible secrecy of the giggle-inducing sort sounds excellent; thanks for the rec. :)

Oh man, I am game for like all of these! I'm def looking forward to that last one. Surprisingly enough, I don't think I've read any time-travel fix it fics! Never too late to start, huh?

It's just a glorious light-hearted romp. With Harry deciding he's going to have some fun. So much of his motivation is "This will be hilarious."
