Looking for fics

[vegablack]

Desperate to find some good Harry Potter fics? Are you looking for one more story about how Ron asked Hermione to marry him or a story about why Zachariah Smith left the battle. This is the thread for you. Feel free to look for recs for any fics rated R or lower that do not involve chan or underage pairings.

[vegablack]

I'm looking for some good Scorpius/Rose stories and some good Harry/Ginny stories. I'd prefer ratings of PG-13 or lower.

[birdg]

*glees*

Rose/Scorpius

"Among Thorns" (www.fanfiction.net/s/4403088/1/Among_Thorns)
and its sequel "Fighting Briars" (www.fanfiction.net/s/4412606/1/Fighting_Briars) by Realmer06, both PG-13.

"Just A Crush" (community.livejournal.com/fridayfic/20641.html) and "Articulate" (community.livejournal.com/smrw_ficafest/6420.html) both by I-Am-Girlfriday and both PG.

"Broken Gifts" (heartheflowers.livejournal.com/10779.html) by Heartheflowers is PG.

"Regarding Trains" (bunsfoot.livejournal.com/15455.html) by Attilatehbun is PG.

"A Fresh Start" (magstopia.livejournal.com/15797.html) by Mags is PG. Finally, if you can handle an ABANDONED and will never be finished story, check out her Rose/Scorpius Ducklings series (magstopia.livejournal.com/tag/abandoned). It's beautiful even if it will never be finished. That story is PG-13.

Also, the Scorpius/Rose fest (www.livejournal.com/~smrw_ficafest) is a good source of quality fics for the pairing - most rated PG or PG-13!

And it's my fest now so I want to give it some love and attention!

Harry/Ginny

"Don't Need No Credit Card To Ride This Train" (community.livejournal.com/catchmysnitch/19088.html) by Thistlerose is PG-13. By the same author "True Like Ice, Like Fire" (thistlerose.livejournal.com/889624.html) which is PG.

"Second" (penknife.livejournal.com/122036.html) by Penknife is G.

"Harry Potter: Hotheaded Hooligan or Heroic Husband" (magstopia.livejournal.com/14396.html#cutid1) by Mags is PG-13. Also by her is "From Headline To Deadline" (magstopia.livejournal.com/15124.html#cutid1) also PG-13.

"I Open At The Close" (www.checkmated.com/story.php?story=9510) by Miyaza is PG-13.

"Pomegranate Seeds (community.livejournal.com/hpgw_ficafest/82371.html) by BeccaFran is PG-13 and AU for DH. (Was written before the final book.)

"Tread Softly" (community.livejournal.com/kissesforcrises/3826.html) and its sequel "The Covenant" (community.livejournal.com/kissesforcrises/6903.html) by Akissinacrisis are both PG-13. "Tread Softly" was written before DH and is slightly AU. Slightly because it correctly guessed Fred's death.

And "Tied Together" (community.livejournal.com/catchmysnitch/44557.html) by St.Margaret's is PG-13.

I wish I could figure out how to do links on this board.

[vegablack]

Thanks birdg! These are perfect. While I'm asking, I think I'll throw in recs of the same pairings that are rated R.

[Author By Night]

I'd love fics that deal with Dumbledore and Grindlewald, and/or Dumbledore and his family.

Also, I'd love a good Founder's fic that really deals with the Founders era, and not just a love triangle between Godric-Helga-Salazar or something. A fic where it seems that the author has done at least some research on that time period would be best.

One of my favorite series. Don't let the very slight crossover with Discworld discourage you if you're not familiar with that series. Knowledge of it isn't necessary for understanding the fic.

Vegablack, am I understanding right and you want more recommendations for Rose/Scorpius and Harry/Ginny?

[vegablack]

Yup! Sorry I wasn't clear. I'd like to see rec's of both Harry/Ginny and Rose Scorpius at rating R to round out the list.

The Rose/Scorpius may be tricky if you are writing most R's because we don't want to rec stories with underage sex.

I'd like to see a pairing where Rose/Scorpius are adults just to get away from the whole burden of what will our parents think and deal with the two's feelings for each other.

[birdg]

Hmm, this is proving quite difficult. With Rose/Scorpius there is one fic that's a WIP, over 50k words and has a great plot (featuring a Rose and Scorpius that are in their 30s) but there are a few scenes that are flat-out NC-17.

[D'oh, just noticed the rating on the first H/G fic I recc'd was NC-17. So I pulled it.]

Also "Compromise: A Love Story" (http://femmenerd.livejournal.com/293159.html) by Akissinacrisis. Also rated R it revolves around Harry and Ginny getting engaged.

Thanks for the links, birdg!

The old Drabble community from the Sugar Quill reformed some time ago on an LJ called SQ_drabblers at the link community.livejournal.com/sq_drabblers/

In the early days drabbles were posted as comments to the prompt post, but more recently they are given as separate posts. There are some very fine contributions from our own birdg and some poor attempts by myself among others. You are all welcome to respond to prompts. One doesn't have to be a member of the community to post. All are welcome to join as well.

I'm looking for Percy/Penelope fics that take place between POA an TDH, about what happened between them, since we know they at some point broke up
