* One of the best takes on the Neville-Longbottom-is-chosen-instead-of-Harry storyline I've seen. He's written AU versions of ''Philosopher's Stone'', ''Chamber of Secrets,'' and ''Prisoner of Azkaban,'' ''Goblet of Fire,'' and chapter one 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.

* Pinky Brown writes the most amazing Ron/Hermione fics I have ever had the pleasure to read. Her characterization of both Ron and Hermione is superb, but especially Ron, considering the way many fanfic writers [[{{Ron The Death Eater}} treat him.]], or don't bother with him at all. All her stories are highly recommended.

**** You need to remember the age of the fanfiction. It was released in 2005 before it was well known in the fandom that Harry was related to the Blacks. It's possible the writer either didn't know that or took artistic license with it. The argument about relative close to Lily may count, but not having read the fic I can't be sure.

***Possibly a detail that only I find irritating, but one of the minor justifications for him being taken away from the Dursleys is that he has a blood connection to Remus through his paternal grandmother. There are several reasons that this is irksome. One, since we're working off the idea that Lily Potter did something to protect her son, logic dictates that the relative be of her blood. Two, Harry's paternal grandmother was Dorea Black, aunt to Walburga Black(nee Black) Sirius' mother; which would make Harry and Sirius, not Remus, second cousins. And this is before you consider that Sirius' father was also a Black, so it's really a closer relationship on a genetic level. Three, they don't even consider the other people related to Harry, like the Weasleys or the Tonkses, assuming that we're going by the thought that any relation will do.

** @/{{RanMouri}}: Whole-heartedly sixth. The writing in the first isn't spectacular, but it gets much better. [=YMMV=], but I think they're all very good, and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for book 5. I do like the first better than the rest of the main series, due to some plot points that feel a little shoe-horned in, [[spoiler: the Heirs,]] but they're still great stories. Also, the [=AUs=] and crossovers are not to be missed. ''Be Careful'' nearly beats LwD for me, and the FixFics ''A Little Slice of Heaven'', and ''Till We Reach That Day'' are some of the best FixFics I've ever read. Major WAFF warning, but it's never overdone.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1619871/Vekin87/ Albus Potter Series]] by Vekin87
* Recommended by windweaver19 and nomnom07
* ''Synopsis'': Starting out as a basic Albus and Slytherin fic, Vekin87 expands J.K. Rowling's world by introducing a variety of new characters, including the likes of wizarding vigilantes and morally ambiguous villians. Vekin's storys touch on themes like totalitarianism, the constant struggle between the public and the government, and ultimately, whether or not killing is right.
* ''Comments'': When I first read these stories I had to remind myself quite harshly that it wasn't canon. Vekin does a good job of blending canon bits with his own ideas for an entertaining read that is still very reminiscent of Rowling's story. Several of the characterizations are funny and he's almost as good at sparking EpilepticTrees among his fans as Rowling is. Story is in progress and has just recently finished book 5. He is currently working on his sixth book. He is the first (or one of) Harry Potter fanfiction authors to be on the road to completing all seven books. An absolutely amazing read. Some say his last few books are even better than Rowling's.
