* ''Comments'': One of the best takes on the "[[FanfomSpecificPlot Neville Longbottom is chosen instead of Harry]]" storyline I've seen. The author has written AU versions of the first four books and nine chapters of "Order of the Phoenix." He's a very regular poster, and the story is top-notch. Moreover, much like in ''DA & the Year of Darkness,'' we really see the evolution and emergence of the sword-waving Neville a lot earlier, rather than some "Neville is chosen" fics where Neville's pathetic failures are just an excuse for some Harry-Potter-saves-the-world action.

* From Anime/YuGiOh ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12270286/1/Ignis-Aurum-Probat Link]])to VideoGame/ResidentEvil ([[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13975479/1/Mycoreincarnation Link]]), this author has produced many Crossover with Harry Potter, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight among]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy other]] [[VideoGame/DarkSouls things]]

* ''Comments'': Highly recommended if you happen to like Draco/Harry [[FoeYay slash]]. This author has written over 100 fics of varying lengths (some very long, and some meaty oneshots too) -- all of them some of the very best the fandom has to offer. The Ceremonies of Strife trilogy is especially recommended for one of the best continuation series I've read. Lomonaaeren is one of those rare authors that doesn't neglect plotting to get to the romance.

** Fifthed by this other troper: it's bloody fantastic. All the characters are written ''perfectly''. Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Snape, even Peter -- ''all'' of them are completely three-dimensional people, with character progression that clearly leads them towards becoming their older canon counterparts we know from the books (and it thankfully ''doesn't'' fall into traps with the characters which are all too common in Harry Potter fandom[[note]]e.g. James and Sirius the sociopathic bullies, Snape the innocent woobie, Wormtail the blithering idiot, etc.[[/note]]). As for the story itself, it's brilliant -- and while there ''is'' slash, it doesn't read as contrived or out of character. In my mind, this fic is to JK Rowling's books as Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy is to the StarWars movies.

* The trilogy of ''Still Waters Run Deep'', ''Bittersweet'', and ''Tomorrow We May Die'' (which is now housed offsite for some reason) is the one I read the most, although I don't much like the first one (MarySue more than the other two, I think). Very OC for Snape, IMO, although it does play his angst up pretty neatly, and works well with how he feels as a double agent (''hugely'' at the end of the second story). Still, it's one of the fanfics I've found to meet these criteria: Snape as main character, love as major plot, not filled with pointless sex, '''''heterosexual''''', and not Snape-with-Hermione.
