Everyone loves a good oneshot. They're quick reads that give you a nice snapshot into the character's world. A story told all at once and with no long waits or cliffhangers. Here are some of the better oneshots (and twoshots and the like) I've found, all with interesting storylines and mostly good grammar, spelling, and structure. They vary from het and slash and no pairings, but no incest, prominent non-con, and only a smattering of crossgen. |
A Wish Granted by etherian reviews
It's the scene in the Shrieking Shack from DH. Right before Snape takes his last breath, he and Harry catch a wish. From there it's fluff all the way & Lucius is nice, too. Snape adopts Harry. This story is a bowl of sherbet lemons - very sweet.

The Dichotomy of Good and Evil by InsaneKAT reviews
Contrary to the popular beliefs, Harry Potter did not become an Auror/the Minister/a Muggle/the next Dark Lord, outlaw cheese, waste his life drinking, get a harem, leave Britain, find a long-lost sibling, destroy Magical Britain, or even become a DADA teacher at Hogwarts. Nope. He's decided to teach History. Post-DH. Happy birthday, Harry Potter and Jo Rowling.
