My collection of good Harry Potter reads. Heavy on longer, completed classics, AU, Independent, Darkish Harry. Some cute kid Harry, nonangsty HPSS slash and other guilty pleasures. Emphasis on character, plots and the author's passing acquaintance with good grammar and spell check.

Ninety-Nine Trope Subversions And A Deckchair Party by NothingPretentious reviews
Harry Potter and friends kick back and relax at the First Annual Post-Voldemort Party And Jamboree. What did Bill Weasley refer to as his "Rod of Wonder"? Where is Crabbe Castle?

Mandragora by NothingPretentious reviews
Consider the curiously humanoid mandrake root, or mandragora. It is hideously ugly, deadly dangerous, and a powerful restorative. Why would anything else matter? * * A tale of horror. Please review. * *

Messing With Time by slythernim reviews

Slytherins Secret by Annanas23 reviews
AU end of CoS. When Harry defeats the Heir of Slytherin 3 times what does that mean? And what affect did all of those substances in his bloodstream have? A sneakier more motivated Harry. Definite Dumbledore, Molly bashing, will probably redeem Snape. Bit young for pairings but I favour Luna.

Overdue Protection by PadyandMoony reviews
The fallout from the Dueling Club was worse than in Canon and leads to the release of one Sirius Black from Azkaban. And he is not amused. 1 SLASH couple.

Dan Granger by old-crow reviews
Things didn't entirely get swept aside after the conclusion of the TWT. Dumbledore doesn't get his way. Riddle or Fudge won't either. Some OCs have large roles.

A Rational Child by AmniIsRoving reviews
Harry Potter isn't a freak per say, but he does acknowledge he's different. Happy to learn about new gifts he's never truly been bothered by (though there is the whole talking to snakes thing)but if he doesn't meet a few rational people the fame thing may really annoy him. (Slash later on, Harry?Blaise, maybe) Silly!Wizards Rational!SuperSmart!Harry

The Price is Right by Hi Pot And News reviews
Point of deviation: Harry's primary school taught Home Economics. Harry's not going to let the wonders of magic take away his common sense, and if he can get a good deal, he's going to take it. Meanwhile, money is fun, but magic is funner. AU

As good as Death by astala7 reviews
Death messed up his job at Halloween 1981 and now neither Voldemort nor Harry Potter are dead. As if that wasn't bad enough that noisy little brat appears to be able to see him. All of that was quite unexpected. Still it doesn't explain how he somehow found himself stuck to raise the baby. Alright, now that's just awkward. Complete (sort of)
