** Antiguo: Eh, Narmy and kinda non-canon. After all, the King of the White Court ''shouldn't'' be so blatanty obvious and evil, more like a thug (or a pimp) instead of the bewitching manipulator. Seems pointless violent for the sake of drama.

* Thomas A has written a brilliant novel-length series (the latest of which is a WIP) which shares Harry's laughable sense of humour. We have The Carpenter Blueprints, a whole series of fics centered around Molly Carpenter, apprentice to Chicago's only professional wizard private investigator. In ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6141829/1/ Axis and Allies, Allies,]]'', we see Molly Carpenter striking out on her own to save the day when the wizard's away against a few Nazi sorcerers, golems and an Outsider. ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6366268/1/Semper_Fidelis_Book_2_of_The_Carpenter_Blueprints Semper Fidelis]]'' shows us our perky wizard apprentice racing against the clock to stop a faerie war from starting after an assassination attempt on the Summer Lady and Knight. A great read when you're waiting for ''Ghost Story'' is the third installment, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6664931/1/Life_After_Death_Book_3_The_Carpenter_Blueprints Life After Death]]''.
**Overall, a must-read for fans of The Dresden Files. We see Molly, perky wizard apprentice, strike out as an independent contractor when Harry's away...and we can tell that Harry's a pretty good/bad influence on Molly too. Indeed, even when facing against an Outsider, or the pissed-off Lady of the Summer Storm the Abagalesidhe, Molly still quips pop culture references into their faces and saves the day...albeit with less Dresdenesque shenanigans.

** ''Coment'': Is a magnificent story, capturing the non sensical, wry humor and horrorific dramatic flair of the original works. You really can feel the true escense of Harry in every line, his sardonic humor and the huge scope of the Supernatural world. Time travel, the other vampire courts, the black council, eons long plots, the Outer beings, enemies from the past looking for revenge. It had all. While it started small it had expanded down to another 5 fics, each one adding a new layer of the plots and lies that is about to culminate in the last instalment, Broken Circle. A must read, if only to get an idea of how to write the third person Noir-eske monologue of the Dresden Verse.

**''Synopsis'': It was like playing chicken with intimacy, both of us pushing and pushing and waiting to see who blinked first.
**''Comments'': A continuation of the first story, this one does an even more thorough job of examining Dresden and Marcone and how the two co-exist. It's intense and a beautifully handled slow progression. Harry's POV is as pitch-perfect as ever, and the addition of Marcone's POV is handled equally well. ''Very'' worth checking out.

*Recommended by RinSimyaldee
*Little Chicago has written a brilliant five part series (the last of which is still a WIP) that is honestly the best Dresden fic I have ever seen, as well as one of the best in general. The tone, writing and characterization are as close to perfectly original flavor as it is possible to get, and the fics are suitably awesome. The series takes place soon after Turn Coat, and so far it seems to be an AU ignoring Changes. So good, I wasted a large amount of time just sitting, reading madly until I finished the entire series in one sitting. Very highly recommended.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6437783/1/Harry_Dresden_Agent_of_NERV Harry Dresden: Agent of NERV]]'' by Yuffiek666
* Recommended by Darkblade
* ''Synopsis'': {{Crossover}} with ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' of all things. Things changed in the year 2000 when humans awoke the outside known as Adam and caused Second impact which killed two billion people, flooded the world and all but destroyed the Sidhe. Years after the Second Impact, SEELE's Head of North American Resource Management and all around criminal scum Johnny Marcone is seemingly murdered by being reduced to an unknown orange liquid. Harry as usualy getting caught in the middle of this mess finds himself sent to Tokyo 3 to investigate NERV.
* ''Comments'': A CrackFic GoneHorriblyRight. The author took great care to almost seemlessly merge the two very distintctive universes. There are some plot conviences such as Bob's new found Otaku-dom (which has made him fluent in Japanese and capable of tutoring Harry in it) and Ebenezzer making Harry an anti-WalkingTechBane watch but they only serve to bring both Harry and the cast of Evangelion into more trouble I am willing to overlook them.

*** Revlid: Please note that your mileage may ''heavily'' vary with this story - Harry is a fairly blatant Mary Sue, and his "snark" mostly comes across as simply being rude and mindlessly arrogant, which aren't appealing traits for the main character of a story spanning 30+ chapters to begin with. The final twist in the first story is also eye-rollingly stupid; see "Mary Sue". In short, if you're hoping for Harry's attitude or the attitudes of others toward him to change in any way from the first few chapters onward... Look elsewhere.
