Andre LouisI'm restarting my new/favourite #HarryPotter #Fanfic thread here, since #BirdSite is well, that... Let's start with this incredible thing, which is keeping me so engrossed that I cannot put it down, other than to type this. I will add to the thread with subsequent reads, and perhaps some old favourites.
This. All of this. It's being updated daily and it is fantastically fantastic! It can also be found in my fanfic archive.

@FreakyFwoof Yep definitly does.
Also, wanted to ask what tool do you use to archive your fanfics?

@johann @FreakyFwoof

summery:
The Fates of the MCU have written for Harry Potter to die during a failed Obscurial Transformation. A drunken conversation between the heads of the Marvel verse has changed that and Harry has ended up with Gamer powers among other things. Watch Harry go through Hogwarts, Kamar-Taj, and Xavier's institute as he learns to use his powers and level up. Contains a Flerken. Harem by Arc3
may not be to everyone's tastes.

Aah man. I hammered through this 36 chapter amazing thing in far too short a time. Did not want to put this down. https://archiveofourown.org/works/45514534
JamminJerry@FreakyFwoof I am going to be reading this one. it sort of sounds like one I have read most of called Harry Potter and the Game of Life by Abadashery. summary: Harry's plan to let Voldemort kill him has backfired as there was no Horcrux in his head. Instead Fate is one grumpy deity and decides that if Harry wants to play games well then she'll give him a game to play. A fresh attempt on the Life is a Game genre! Powerful!Harry. Fling!Harry Work in Progress! Rewrite of Chapters 21 and 22 in progress. Stay tuned!
sadly it looks like it has been abanded as there hasn't been an update sense 12/16/2020.

mirabilos@jamminjerry @FreakyFwoof this? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13390029
Apparently got an update on 8th January, now 24 chapters. “Soon to be out of Hiatus”… doesn’t look it.
But it’s a romance. Oh well, I’ll give it a shot. The GUI one from Andre was truly exceptional, I hadn’t read such a good gamer story ever.
@jamminjerry hmmhmm, so that was.
I admit I’m not a fan. It begins with way too much Gamer, and especially OP¹, then proceeds to be almost not at all Gamer, and mostly romance interspersed with teenage drama, half the ages are wrong half the time, and quite some of the sentence constructs are written confusingly enough to be barely intellegible.
The point inflation is also crazy. At the beginning it said average adult wizards are level 10 except in magic where they are level 25. And yet Harry runs through levels at a ridiculous pace (like a few small transfigurations, during battle no less, give him half a dozen levels in Transfiguration) and easily gets stuff into the 70s within the first couple of weeks into this all. Compared with the entire run-time of the game, assuming Hogwarts, starting from Summer 1993 that’s about 260 weeks, this is good as nothing, the first 2% of time after the tutorial and he’s reaching such high levels… pretty unrealistic.
Also, wasn’t Lily’s red dark whereas the Weasleys’ is almost orange?
¹) example is, consuming hundreds of skillbooks in one day
tl;dr: ⅓ totally OP gamer fic, ⅔ teenage romance combined with teenage drama that totally ignores the gamer parts
@FreakyFwoof it’s now 70c and completed
@mirabilos Yep, read all of it and the companion pieces too.
@FreakyFwoof I basically went to sleep in the middle of a chapter last night 😹
@FreakyFwoof what companion pieces, exactly? I cannot find any related stories on the author’s profile…
@mirabilos Aah sorry, talking about two different authors, my mistake.
If Jack Reacher and Mad-Eye Moody fit into one body and then became a friggin absolutely badass woman, she might be something like the main character in this, which is just fantastic by the way!
Summary: 300 years ago, Hunter Lenore Black entered an enchanted sleep to battle a corrupted goddess and keep it from destroying humanity. Now, she is awake, and oh boy is she not happy with the state of Magical Britain. Slight AU elements, no pairings. Rated for language, imagery and occasional violence.
@FreakyFwoof That was a damn good one!
@fastfinge Yes that it was.
A crazy-fun fic by Dogbertcaroll who I first heard of, around the Rorschach's Blot era when reading 'Make A Wish' which remains a personal favourite. Anyway, have this:
Summary: Harry is sure he's living in a fairy tale with himself as the hero. Really, what else makes sense?
@FreakyFwoof make a wish is just down right awesome!
@jamminjerry Of course it is. Imagine working with your very own Henchgirl.
@FreakyFwoof one thing I like is how belitrix was ... ... ... delt with. harrys luck with death eaters, and ch in that story too
@jamminjerry Oh yes. The Potter Luck strikes there very powerfully indeed.
@FreakyFwoof this is hilarious! Sadly, unfinished.
Here's a fun little oneshot about Felix Felicis: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14266184/1/
Title: Rosie Little Cheeks
Summary: When Rose "Rosie" Evans finished her fifth year at Hogwarts, she had one objective before she returned home. To rescue her half brother Harry from Privet Drive

Patrick Perdue@FreakyFwoof For once, I've already read the one chapter that currently exists *before* you posted it here. YAY! I'm ahead of the game... or some junk.
@BorrisInABox How very dare you do this to me! You cheater you!
@FreakyFwoof Yep, terribly sorry... much as I ever can be about this, I.E. not at all.
Title: Fifth Year Rebooted
Author: Labgasod
URL: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49334527
Summary:
What would happen if the mind of a 28-year-old Harry was accidentally returned to his just recently turned 15-years-old body? Lots of swearing, that is for sure.
@FreakyFwoof this looks like it could be an interesting read
@jamminjerry Wrong. It *is* a very interesting read. I have read all chapters that currently exist.
@FreakyFwoof I was hoping to find it in your folder, so that I could read it as one file, but didn't see that author there yet.
@jamminjerry The author is 'Lab12'
@FreakyFwoof ah, I must have been looking at the wrong thing and thought that was the author on the web site. my bad.
@FreakyFwoof you are right this is a good story. I am already at chapter 3 out of 12. good find.
Title: Regulus Black and the What the Hell
Author: gonzoclock
URL: https://archiveofourown.org/works/44521072
Summary:
Four-year-old Luna has been able to see lights her whole life- and when both of her parents die in an explosive magical accident, she decides to grab on to one of the lights and follow it.
Meanwhile, Regulus Black has never really thought of himself as the parental sort- he's hardly interacted with a child in his life, much less raised one. But when two magically inexplicable orphans show up and somehow resurrect him- well, what else was he supposed to do? Not immediately adopt them? Yeah, right.
(Features little Luna and Harry adopting each other as siblings and Regulus being in way, way over his head)
Title: Switched
Author: PseudoLeigha
URL: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38610990
Summary:
My take on the wrong-boy-who-lived trope. Harry Potter is a certifiable lunatic. Danny Tonks is really a very normal bloke for also being a magic freak. Out of the two of them, Harry is definitely the more likely to kill someone someday, but he's not sure whether Dumbledore could possibly have known that when he switched them...
Title: Witch. Wizard. Gnome!
Author: WolfgangNH
Summary:
Harry is tired of being Fate's and an ungrateful Britain's chew toy. Not to mention manipulative wankers, a Minister trying to find scapegoats to hold onto his job and goblins only looking to make a galleon. After a meeting with the Swiss Ambassador, Harry's life changes while those that made his life miserable find out what it's like to deal with gnomes and upset goblins.
Title: A Mid-Winter's Eve
Author: WolfgangNH
Summary:
Harry is dragged off to a pagan celebration of Imbolc. It is a night of rebirth and new beginnings. What kind of rebirth and beginning will be discovered.
I really, really didn't expect to like this. I was very wrong about that. It is most excellent, and this person is one of the Writers with a capital W. They can definitely write and write well.
The Accident that Changed History
Author:
Trygvasson
Summary:
Sirius Black always got away with bullying Snape, until the one time things went too far, and he didn't. Expelled halfway through his seventh year at Hogwarts, his first job offer is dangerous to refuse, from his cousin Bellatrix. Sirius is the one who ends up as the Order's double-agent in the First Wizarding War. Rated for language and psychological horror, nonexplicit
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14201949/1/
@FreakyFwoof ok that actuallllllly sounds pretty cool.
Sean Randall@FreakyFwoof I've just finished The Accident that Changed History by Trygvasson thanks to your thread. Utterly unputdownable.
@cachondo Yeah that's a good one.
@FreakyFwoof I am going to read this one. did you ever read this one?
The Pawn turned Queen
Author:
Cyan93
Summary:
What does one do when they realize they're a pawn? Harry is going to take any good opportunity to escape the playing board. It just so happens that the way he does it, ends the game! Harry is a human hybrid! His two separate DNA strings only viable because of magic, shunting it into a human Animagus form. When he finds out, he escapes his fate.
Total chapters: 58
@jamminjerry OO I have not heard of this. Is it also in our folder? Thanks for sharing.
@FreakyFwoof not sure if it is in your folder, but if I am not mistaken it is in katies folder.
Katy T@jamminjerry @FreakyFwoof If it's in my folder, then it'll be in yours.
@jamminjerry @FreakyFwoof Yup, it is. that author is in root. That story itself has the old author in the file, which I will change right now.
@jamminjerry @FreakyFwoof I moved it to the top.
@jamminjerry Answered my own question, yes it certainly is. Exciting times!
@FreakyFwoof I personally like that one myself. Ii have it a folder here called hp our faves
@jamminjerry I'm reading this one you told me about now and it's just as good as the one I recommended early. I don't know about you, but after reading Fanfic for 20 years, I'm always genuinely over the moon when I read something new that actually keeps my attention. I love that.
@FreakyFwoof oh I am sure some of the ones I will show that I read might make you say yuck, but I am glad I could showyou one that keeps your attention. I always do take a look at the ones you suggest, and when I want something new to look at, I either look at your folder, or katies.
@jamminjerry My preference is no m/m slash, though fem is fine, no mpreg, no Harry/Ginny because, yuck! Otherwise I@m good. Oh and Cho is just out. She's duller than dishwater.
@FreakyFwoof the only one of those I didn't understand is where you said no mpreg.
@jamminjerry That is male pregnancy. Some authors seem to try to find a way to make that work... The *only* exception to this is Nonjon's 'Where in the World is Harry Potter' Series which is when either Fred or George I forget, gives birth to puppies... Yeah, you'd have to read it to understand lol
@FreakyFwoof ah, ok, yeah, those would be a bit on the odd side for sure.
@FreakyFwoof when I said I am going to read this one, I ment the one you gave the link for, although because I am in your folder in dropbox, I just needed to see the authors name, and pull it from there.
