Cross-posting my comment from Liss' journal...

[quidditchgrrl]

Since I used this to answer lissinthecity's request for favorite HP fanfics, I might as well post it up here. And since I've been up since 3:45 worrying about my endoscopy, I figured it would use up some time and stomach acid energy, and it has (two hours and seven minutes, gulp).

Here's a list of the ten fics I come back to over and over again, in no particular order:

1. Dark Directed and The Past Didn't Go Anywhere by fearthainn. Best redeemed Draco, ever, in DD.

2. Roman Holiday, Jewel of the Nile, Last Tango in Paris; also the Harry/Trelawney outtake All That Glitters by coldcoffeeeyes

3. Through a Shattered Mirror by rushlight75

4. What are Friends For? Part 1 and Part 2 by ravenclawgrrl. Harry/Tonks, yum!

5. Several of lissinthecity's shorts, including It's the End of the World as We Know It, Requiem, and Absolution. Read 'em all the time.

6. Cleverness Has Nothing to Do With Love by shellyk

7. Control by capitalslash (Percy/Fred/George, warnings of non-con, violence, and incest). Not everyone's idea of good fic, but it works in its context. You prefer the violence. The identical fists raining down on you, the kicking and the sensation of a knee in your groin. You can shut your mind off from that, disconnect, let the passing of time fade until you are left alone afterwards with aching joints, feeling numb inside. Yes, you prefer the violence.

8. Pretty From Behind by jlh

9. Moving Pictures by coldcoffeeeyes

10. The Fire and the Rose and Fire and the Rose Part II, by Abby and Domina on Witchfics
