More Harry Potter recs, although not all Remus/Tonks this time:
Harry Potter and the Slashed-Up Canon (http://anthimaeria.livejournal.com/52977.html) by anthimaeria. Now I'm not a Harry/Draco shipper by a longshot, but if there was ever an example of people taking subtext and running with it, this is it. More than that, I love that AM wrote an entire story using JKR's own words and still managed to recast canon as an H/D story. Very clever.
Of Family Resemblances and Like Kinds (http://duck-or-rabbit.livejournal.com/11458.html) by duck_or_rabbit. I love this fic (and especially its opening chapter) for the brilliant description of Grimmauld Place. I also like that it features Regulus Black in a big way, since he's a bit of a blank slate in canon. Probably my favorite fic by a writer who has written so many terrific things.
The Apprentice and the Necromancer (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3733492/1/The_Apprentice_and_the_Necromancer). I'm ambivalent about this rec, because Snape/Hermione is easily my LEAST favorite ship in all of the HPverse. *cringes* Also, I have severe issues with the characterization of Harry, Ron and even Hermione in this story. That said, I still this is one of the most inventive uses of magic and magical laws in the Harry Potter fandom that I've ever read. Also, the author's ability to stick to a precise format is to be admired.
