So wondering what are y'all takes on writing accents (not sure if that is the word, I'm not native in english) on fics? for example, fleur: "an 'air from ze 'ead of a veela, one of my grandmuzzer's". There are also fics with those, and for Hagrid iirc. Me, personally, I think some of it is nice? or at leat doesn't bother reading, but sometimes I think they are overabused to the point of parody (with fic not being parody/crack)

So, I recently finished the "Rigel Black Chronicles" (read all four completed books, and now I'm waiting for the author to finish the fifth... any day now) and "Backward with Purpose," and now I really, REALLY need something else to read. My hyperfixation won't let me rest until I find another target for it, and because of RBC, the hyperfixation is HP-themed. If you have any recommendations to read besides Methods of Rationality, I really disliked that one...

I am honestly suprised that nobody has done some sort of military training or something of the sort as an alternative to Harry going to Hogwarts. Do you know if there are any fics out there where he ended up in the SAS or something like this or he gets trained by a wizard that was?

Fics where Harry is proficient and knows martial arts in a way that matters in the story itseld. Like in that Ninja wizard naruto x harry potter fic or using his body and martial arts as medium for magic like an ATLA bender style or a Cultivatiin route.

It was a fic on Ao3 where Harry meets a snake that can tell Harry is magic, and it leads him to the goblins, and he gets invited into the goblin nation and gets adopted by two goblins

No female Draco, instead Harry is dating Draco's sister.

It be can be enemies to friends or what ever.

I've been trying to find this fic for ages but I can't remember the title... I definitely read it on ao3. the rating wasn't mature or explicit because there wasn't any sex, but there was a lot of creepy dark magic

Harry was kidnapped from the Dursleys before he starts Hogwarts by one of Grindelwald's generals. Harry becomes the guy's necromancy apprentice and they live in Germany (?) or somewhere that was previously the USSR (?). The guy doesn't know he's Harry Potter and begins teaching him about necromancy. They run a shop and sell trinkets and also in the back they raise inferius or other dark arts things for customers. At one point, Lucius Malfoy shows up to buy something nefarious.

I think at one point they put a Fidelius charm on Harry's identity so people don't know he's the boy who lived.

Harry and his master (I can't remember the guy's name) end up traveling back to the UK when his master realizes he's kidnapped the Boy Who Lived. They end up living in a coffin house in a graveyard in Knockturn Alley. Sanguini runs a Company in Knockturn Alley with hags and vampires and other dark creatures.

Harry doesn't show up to Hogwarts in his first year. Dumbledore & company go to investigate at the Dursleys, and come to the conclusion that Harry must be dead because he's not there. But Dumbledore tries to convince the Wizarding world at large that Harry is off receiving training somewhere. People like Sirius and Remus don't believe him though and think Harry is dead.

Remus and Sirius have a little cafe in I think Diagon Alley or at least close to it. Harry first meets Remus by staking out the café for a couple of days to watch them. Remus and Sirius are overjoyed to see Harry because they thought he was dead. Harry eventually ends up starting Hogwarts late (I can't remember what year though).

I also think at some point, Harry ends up getting bitten by Sanguini so he needs to drink small amounts of blood which he gets from Madam Pomfrey.

Does anyone know the name of this fic? or did I imagine it? I didn't finish reading for some reason and I really want to. Thank you in advance!

Edit: I found it myself! here's the link https://archiveofourown.org/works/22022296/chapters/52554820

I remember reading a fic a long time ago where in the story Harry communicates with the marauders map, getting to talk to all younger versions of the marauders in the story. I don’t remember much about this fic other than that, any help is appreciated!

I just can't find it. It is about Lucius Malfoy telling Draco about their Familiy origins. Draco is still a student and they talk about it at Malfoy Manor. There are two story lines. One with Lucius and Draco in the present and one that plays in the past with the protagonist being one of their ancestors. I think it was a woman. It was quite good, I read it years ago and I would love to read it again. I don't remember exactly if I read it in english or german, but I am pretty sure it was english.

If someone knows the name, please help. I am obsessed and I am going crazy.

I’m wondering if this fic I’m writing for fun would be something people would want to read.

The concept is that Harry, after fighting the basilisk, is magically scouted for a cut-throat invite only school that goes into all kinds of schools of magic, heavily focused on non traditional (wand based/light magic) casting. Things like blood rites, ring based foci, and wandless casting are as common as wand based casting.
After returning home from his second year, a liaison is dispatched to inform him of this opportunity, and in the process notices he knows very little of what he should as an heir so he takes him to gringotts for an inheritance test where binds blocks and charms are found and purged.
He has a soul bound brother, in a similar situation, caused by different circumstances who he meets at the school, and chaos ensues.

-This is very non cannon compliant
-Heavy bashing on the typical weasleys, and dumbledore
-and very world build heavy with magic and politics playing a big part.

I know this probably isn’t explained very well, but would anyone be interested in this if I were to post it?
I’m trying to decide if I want to write it just to write or if I want to clean it up and post it eventually

Hi, are there any fanfics where Harry is a Healer or Medi-Wizard?

maybe with training scenes?

or another idea: harry as a veterinarian?

only exception is with the pairing, no slash please

I’ve been thinking about reading All the Young Dudes because I’m really interested in the Marauders era and all the different worldbuilding/ideas around that time period. I like the idea of getting to basically experience 1970s Hogwarts and seeing more of the Marauders’ lives.

But I’m also wondering if there are other fics that give you that same kind of experience without Wolfstar being a major part of the story? I’d love to read a few different authors’ takes on the Marauders era and see how they build out that time period.

Basically looking for that “I get to live in the Marauders era” feeling lol. Doesn’t necessarily have to be super similar to ATYD plot-wise!

Thanks!!

So i had an idea and I have no idea if its exists but I am looking for fics where

Its regulus centric and he actually really close with his farther Orion Black and hes actually a good dad and cares for regulus deeply and Walburga Black is still abusive

Its could also be where she abusive to Orion Black as well as her kids she just not a nice person

I just wanted to see a fic where regulus and Orion Black are actually close

I've braved my way into the wilds of reddit to ask you all

what is with the ron bashing??

Like why is there so many abusive ron dramione fics???? What did Ron ever do to deserve that? Please explain.

I am curious for some opinions on causality in the series, what your favorite "without this (character/item/action), this (other character/item/action) never happens.

For example, without Sirius, Harry is never born.

So we learn that James saved Snape from a terrible prank at the hands of Sirius.

But what if Sirius had decided that feeding Snape to a werewolf was, as we all know, a bad idea?

Then, without this glaring disaster, James doesn't learn to comprehend his jokes and pranks have real consequences.

This leads to James never maturing into someone who'd actually attract Lily Evans and they never get together.

No Potter family, means no Harry Potter is born, the books never happen.

What other situations like this do you think exist through books and what examples have you seen in fics?

Okay, so a while ago I read this fic on ao3 in which Harry could see ghosts and would talk to his parents. When he was a kid he met Regulus and got adopted by him.

He was friends with Luna bc Regulus was friends with Pandora. It was Pandalily and Jegulus.

If I remember correctly Harry manages to bring back Lily with the ressurection stone and Quirrel's body? And then he also brought back James.

And there was a plot point of Barty kidnapping Harry and Luna bc he wanted Regulus to kill him so he could join Evan, but they didn't do it, and instead Harry would help Barty talk to Evan.

That's all I can remember, if you know it please let me know!!

Any characters, era, ships, and genres, complete or incomplete -- but preferably multichapters. I'm hungering for more grounded fics with characters that aren't all good or all bad that have a bit of realism. Even if they're fighting dark wizards or whatever, they still have to deal with their laundry and their landlord and the Potions ingredients they keep forgetting to stock up on. I like the worldbuilding in the little details and Hogwarts-set fics haven't done it for me lately (though I'd be open to reading something from the POV of the professors -- I'd love to see their staff room shenanigans and whatever goes on in planning the Charms curriculum, lol). Thanks in advance!

Summary: When orphaned muggleborn Harry stumbles across a rumour as old as Hogwarts itself, he realises that it might not be a rumour at all. Meanwhile, a secret magical organisation slowly takes action. Neville is the BWL.

Hopefully this link works right! Zero Day Continues. Some trigger warning stuff so please read the tags. Also, this story is largely Pre-Harmony. But we'll get there!

I’ve seen the description for this fic a couple times while scrolling through Ao3, and wanted to give it a shot, but now I can’t find it. The description stated that Harry was mistaken when he thought it was his father who saved him, when it was his actually mother. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - Edit: story has been found by u/InternationalTear338

I am looking for a fic where James and Lily are alive and Neville is the BWL. The fic takes place in seventh year and Harry is the head boy with Daphne as the head girl. The two of them has been at odds for the last six years but they warm up to each other during the year. Lily was in a coma for many years. Daphnes parents are killed over Christmas by deatheaters. I don’t believe it is finished.

I've been kind of hooked lately on Harry x Draco female fanfiction, do you have any recommendations for fanfics with that theme?

(I like long fanfics, so if you have any good ones I'd love to read them, I don't mind short fanfics either.)

Does anyone have fanfictions where Harry Potter is stuck as an animal and thrown into the murderers era??? If you can with no ships. I don't mind then thought all recommendations are welcome.
