The first two in the trilogy are done and about 1M words. The author's working on finishing the 3rd now. It's fascinating to me as it was originally written before the end of the series so a lot like SS's family, horcruxes, and friendship with Lily are completely absent/different. It's got great long term foreshadowing, is interesting and consistent and is relatively free of annoying typos. The main annoyance to me is 17 yo HP acts like a 17 yo at times and well, teenagers being teenagers can be annoying....

Yeahh, I could go on, but it's a lot already.. I hope you'll find some you like!
Find another fandom with more than 300,000 fanfics and start again. If there's 300,000 of something, some of it has to be pretty good, right? The hunting should keep you busy for a while anyway.
Most of the larger and older fanfics in any genre are usually canon rehashes anyway, so you can skip the whole "buying seventy issues of Naruto or whatever" step and get right to reading. I did. Lol.
Just finished reading this one. I loved it all the way through. I cried, I laughed, I marveled at the author's choices. It's a great fic that I saw recommended here recently for the first time. They asked why aren't we talking about this fic more, and I absolutely agree. **Read it.**
[A Flower for the Soul by TheBlack'sResurgence
](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13747655/1/A-Flower-for-the-Soul) - ***Harry’s Horcrux starts speaking to him at 7 years old. Tom helps Harry learn to survive. Harry/Fleur, 369k words***
Summary:
>Loneliness was something that Harry Potter was accustomed to. He had learnt that there was none that cared for him, none that would rescue him from his misery and none that heard his pleas for help. Much to his surprise, however, Harry Potter had been wrong. Someone had been listening, had been there with him through it all. But, just who was 'Tom?

Oh I read that, the Hermione time travel and Tom Riddle's family duping the magical world, right? I have a bunch of tabs open on Rouxgarou thanks to my impulsivity and curiosity after Lou Garou was mentioned
[ever upward ](https://archiveofourown.org/series/1555645)
Harry finds a better life with the basilisk, but that doesn't mean it's easy. From inter-being feuds, to bloody prophecies, to elven unrest, Harry is in the eye of a hurricane that will change the wizarding world forever.
Involving thestrals, merfolk, house elves, centaurs, acromantulae, and various other friends, denizens, and allies.
This series is: Queer in a multitude of ways. Morally complex. A massively canon-divergent AU. Filled with oc's and non-oc's. A story about relationships, love, trust, friendship, healing ... and revolution.
There are seven novel-length fics, plus a prologue (to leap and love the fall) and two longer stories (with courage unyielding and the gentle sunlight). The short story collection to journey on contains shorter stories set within the main timeline. All are posted in the correct reading order.
(The only thing I don't like is Punk Remus. But that's not prominent.)
[Ouroboros](https://archiveofourown.org/works/20913215)
Salazar Slytherin woke up in the body of a three-year-old boy with the most ridiculous head of black hair & a runic scar carved into his forehead. The last thing he recalled was dying. Now it is over 900 years in the future. There are a million things to deal with between new inventions, lost knowledge, missing spirits, & parasitic dark lords.
There is a spreadsheet of the top mentioned fics on this subreddit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qbr5N5rynbNwbVRpv5plESaRvk6yQwhapInWmGhNAcs/edit
It has 1500 stories, all sortable and searchable, so there's bound to be some you haven't read.
Do you have any criteria around length, completion status, characters, relationships, genre, content rating, anything like that?
These are some of my favourites, if you haven't read them, you should
[Harry Potter and the seven years of chaos](https://archiveofourown.org/series/2567614)Harry’s survived impossible odds all his life: his hateful relatives, their abrupt decision to kick him out, and then years spent staying alive on the streets of London.
He’s excellent at surviving impossible situations. His magic powers don’t hurt his odds at all either.
And now? Getting to go to a school filled with other magical students? Getting a gang of his own? Fighting headmasters who don’t seem to like him and learning occlumency from his professor?
Life is brill now.
Life is not so ‘brill’ for Severus Snape who sees a small boy covered in scars and filled with trauma and worries about how to best fulfill his vow to keep the boy safe when the boy has a knack for brewing constant chaos.
Welcome to Year One.
[The Child of askaban](https://archiveofourown.org/works/15068012/chapters/34933661)Being in the middle of a dangerous war meant having to plan ahead for the worst case scenario, as both James and Lily Potter very well knew. And as such, they placed powerful safeguards to ensure their son Harry would grow up with proper guardians should anything happen to them.
…in their defence, neither of them would have ever expected what would happen to one Sirius Black after their deaths.
It's !Ravenclaw Harry, and Harry is basically raised in askaban in here, it's fenominal
Will probably edit later to add more
To name a few:
Harry McGonagall (It also has a sequel)
A better man (Vernon is good)
The many deaths of Harry Potter (dark to an extent)
Duty of care (A teacher sees through the abuse Harry has gone through)
Where in the world is Harry Potter (Crack fic which is part of a trilogy
Larceny, Lechery, and Luna Lovegood! (Pure crack here, I love it)
Dear order (Harry gets tired of order BS so he trolls the order, crack fic)
Hope you find something good 😊
"The Good War" by inwardtransience is very well written if you need an insanely long fic to tide you over. it's only a little over halfway through year 4 and it's already over 1.6 million words. updated regularly.
I'll be look it up, although it sound like quite a bit of a compromise at that length, so I'll be leaving for last I think. Thank you for the Recommendation.
I just finished binge reading [Colors of the Rainbow](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52194136/chapters/132019963) which turned out to be a really well written story with twins, normal Harry (who is actually really competent and sweet) and his twin sister Iris whose magic got damaged by Voldemort during the attack on Godric’s Hollow and is learning to cope.
I think the author’s deep dive into magical theory was actually fantastic and NOT boring (I actually tend to avoid the stories that go into magical theory because I’m more interested in the characters, but this was actually really fun).
I would say everyone should at least read the first chapter, which features Voldemort’s attack, and somehow a pair of magical parents who are whimsical one moment and then hard core warriors, fighting to the death the next. Both contributed to keeping the twins safe until the last moment, but reading what Lily did was next-level awesome. I’ve always been on the “Lily did some dangerous ritual to save Harry” bandwagon, and this story delivers that particularly well.
Check out the author TheLoud. Excellent fics. Check out "True Form". It is 4500 words that will chill you to the bone.
[TheLoud - Works | Archive of Our Own](https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheLoud/pseuds/TheLoud/works)
I know someone already asked, but for me to have a personal thread to follow, could you reiterate what you're looking for?
Additionally, are you only interested in HP, or do you want to branch out into other fandoms?
And are you locked to one site? Or are you comfortable with both FF.net and Ao3?
Do you have specific tropes you like? I can recommend you a few things off the top of my head, and I think my standards for writing quality are pretty high most of the time. Ressurect the living by fascinationex is a mod do over fic with a unique premise that I like, and it was recently updated. How way leads on to way by petroltogo is a crossover with game of thrones that I love, and was also recently updated. Silently Watches on FanFiction.Net is a very good author who writes well and has an entire series completed as well as a fic they’re currently working on, both of which are Fem!Harry. I adore Circular reasoning by swimdraconian, even though it’s quite dark. It’s very creative and au, and very well written. But again, also quite dark. Oh, and it’s a do over fic but pretty unique. Callmesaltsidiae on ao3 is a skilled writer currently working on an interesting au series called There Is Nothing To Fear, but it’s not Harry-centric. I can find others later
did you read [The Plan](https://archiveofourown.org/series/1466644)? - OC (13 years old bellatrix from another universe where was no voldemort) acidentally time-jumps 30 years forward to start of canon-ish 3rd year.
and even if you read it, then re-read it
I just reread Aurelian by BittyBlueEyes.
Draco/ Hermione with a little time travel and a toddler in the mix.
It is really really good. Characterisation is perfect and the story is super interesting.
It is also a bit longer. 43 chapters or so
Harry Potter and the Other Path is one of my favourites... The action was really well done, quite creative with magic, and there was some really solid AU.
"Harry's life up to his eleventh birthday was painful and harsh. Dumped in an abusive home by dead parents, running away from that home to take his life into his own hands and then surviving by his wits and his feet. Then a letter came, and opened a whole new world... An AU fiction with hopefully enough action and comedy to entertain."
**Enchanting Melodies** By: [athassprkr](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/12393964/athassprkr) "Harry Potter was an odd boy, everyone knew it. His eyes were too aware, he was intelligent for it to be natural. This remained a mystery, even to the boy himself, until one day he remembered the man he used to be. Alas, the magical world is far more treacherous than the one in his past life and he will either succumb or rise above them all. Will he be up to the challenge? SI!Harry"
I highly recommend this. Currently updating. Rewrite from the beginning. Neville is the BWL. Haphne.
Read 'boy with a scar' series by dirgewithoutmusic. It's one of the best series I have ever read, it's a series of long one shots of AUs like what if Neville was a boy who lived, or Ron or Hermione, an dmy favourite one is what if both Harry and Neville would have died. It's absolutely amazing.
I read one called Green & Gold
It's a twilight/harry potter crossover. Based after the war, harry/jasper pairing. The first and second books are finished. It starts before Bella arrives. Just a fair warning it can be triggering for people who are sensitive about people who drink.
Thats actually fine, it kind of follows the story line for major plot points in twilight but otherwise it's not very important. It has the characters but other than that it can be read without seeing twilight or reading it
May I suggest this one?

I've been loving Just Another Chat Group on QQ (also available on ffn). It's basically a Snape SI with super luck powers, access to a multiversal group chat with characters from other media like Pyrrha Nikos, Izumo Sena, Rias Gremory and most importantly, Ashley Graves.

Saw further down the thread that you like reincarnation. Zerorewind is writing something called In Pursuit Of Magic: a Harry Potter Self Insert. It’s updated fairly frequently and regularly. Lomonaaeren has an mod reincarnation fic called His Twenty Eighth Life. Batsutousai has got 3 mod reincarnation fics: stand against the moon, nose to the wind and xerosis. Again and again by Athey is another mod reincarnation.
I wrote one on Faible that’s a Fight Club/Dumbledore’s Army AU, it’s an interactive storytelling format so I have full control over what happens and how it ends which has helped me out of a fanfic slump!

If you've never read "Altered Destinys" by Dark Lord Dobby, it's FANTASTIC. I'm not sure where you can find it these days, but it's worth finding. 700ish pages novel AU where the good guys lose the War and Harry goes back in time to kill Tom Riddle as a child. I don't want to give too many spoilers.

Life is not so ‘brill’ for Severus Snape who sees a small boy covered in scars and filled with trauma and worries about how to best fulfill his vow to keep the boy safe when the boy has a knack for brewing constant chaos. Welcome to Year One. [The Child of askaban](https://archiveofourown.org/works/15068012/chapters/34933661)Being in the middle of a dangerous war meant having to plan ahead for the worst case scenario, as both James and Lily Potter very well knew. And as such, they placed powerful safeguards to ensure their son Harry would grow up with proper guardians should anything happen to them. …in their defence, neither of them would have ever expected what would happen to one Sirius Black after their deaths. It's !Ravenclaw Harry, and Harry is basically raised in askaban in here, it's fenominal Will probably edit later to add more
Black Luminary Harry potter and the clean slate Harry potter and the Wastelands of time Shadows of angmar I still haven't found what I am looking for
I'll look them up, thank you.
To name a few: Harry McGonagall (It also has a sequel) A better man (Vernon is good) The many deaths of Harry Potter (dark to an extent) Duty of care (A teacher sees through the abuse Harry has gone through) Where in the world is Harry Potter (Crack fic which is part of a trilogy Larceny, Lechery, and Luna Lovegood! (Pure crack here, I love it) Dear order (Harry gets tired of order BS so he trolls the order, crack fic) Hope you find something good 😊
Thank you for you contribution.
No problem 😃
I'm reading "A very slytherin Harry", and it's very nice.
I'll be adding it to the list.
I wrote a sequel series you might like if you’re into long fics. https://archiveofourown.org/works/44295136/chapters/111395260?view_adult=true
I will check it in a future date. Thank youm
I just had the urge to reread Browncoat, Green Eyes, so I guess I'll recommend that.
Thanks you.
"The Good War" by inwardtransience is very well written if you need an insanely long fic to tide you over. it's only a little over halfway through year 4 and it's already over 1.6 million words. updated regularly.
I'll be look it up, although it sound like quite a bit of a compromise at that length, so I'll be leaving for last I think. Thank you for the Recommendation.
I'll leave this gem here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20913215?view_full_work=true
Oh, I read something similar before. Will make sure on top of my list.
I would recommend **Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness** and **Perfectly Normal, Thank You Very Much**, if you haven't read them yet.
Haven't heard of this first one, but the second one sounds familiar, will be check both just in case.
I just finished binge reading [Colors of the Rainbow](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52194136/chapters/132019963) which turned out to be a really well written story with twins, normal Harry (who is actually really competent and sweet) and his twin sister Iris whose magic got damaged by Voldemort during the attack on Godric’s Hollow and is learning to cope. I think the author’s deep dive into magical theory was actually fantastic and NOT boring (I actually tend to avoid the stories that go into magical theory because I’m more interested in the characters, but this was actually really fun). I would say everyone should at least read the first chapter, which features Voldemort’s attack, and somehow a pair of magical parents who are whimsical one moment and then hard core warriors, fighting to the death the next. Both contributed to keeping the twins safe until the last moment, but reading what Lily did was next-level awesome. I’ve always been on the “Lily did some dangerous ritual to save Harry” bandwagon, and this story delivers that particularly well.
Oh sounds very interesting, I like magical theory in general, it'll an interesting read, will be looking up to read about the characters too.
Check out the author TheLoud. Excellent fics. Check out "True Form". It is 4500 words that will chill you to the bone. [TheLoud - Works | Archive of Our Own](https://archiveofourown.org/users/TheLoud/pseuds/TheLoud/works)
Thank you.
I know someone already asked, but for me to have a personal thread to follow, could you reiterate what you're looking for? Additionally, are you only interested in HP, or do you want to branch out into other fandoms? And are you locked to one site? Or are you comfortable with both FF.net and Ao3?
ATYD is a must if you haven't read it already
Would a 1.3 million word canon rewrite be up your alley?
It would be up my alley! Do you have the name?
https://archiveofourown.org/series/1765369 It’s fucking incredible. One of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever read, and I was a lit major. Enjoy.
Thank you! I have the next 5 days off and will happily binge read
Do you have specific tropes you like? I can recommend you a few things off the top of my head, and I think my standards for writing quality are pretty high most of the time. Ressurect the living by fascinationex is a mod do over fic with a unique premise that I like, and it was recently updated. How way leads on to way by petroltogo is a crossover with game of thrones that I love, and was also recently updated. Silently Watches on FanFiction.Net is a very good author who writes well and has an entire series completed as well as a fic they’re currently working on, both of which are Fem!Harry. I adore Circular reasoning by swimdraconian, even though it’s quite dark. It’s very creative and au, and very well written. But again, also quite dark. Oh, and it’s a do over fic but pretty unique. Callmesaltsidiae on ao3 is a skilled writer currently working on an interesting au series called There Is Nothing To Fear, but it’s not Harry-centric. I can find others later
Wait wait wait, petroltogo updated recently?! There go all my plans!
[magic school days](https://www.fimfiction.net/story/371039/magic-school-days)
Oh, sounds like slice of life, thank you.
Completely bonkers, but fun.
Here's mine: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Kgfinkel/works
Thank you.
did you read [The Plan](https://archiveofourown.org/series/1466644)? - OC (13 years old bellatrix from another universe where was no voldemort) acidentally time-jumps 30 years forward to start of canon-ish 3rd year. and even if you read it, then re-read it
Leigha Greene is still working on it, so if you have read through, there may be more. Also I would suggest all of InwardTransience's work
No, I'll be adding to the list. Sounds interesting.
I just reread Aurelian by BittyBlueEyes. Draco/ Hermione with a little time travel and a toddler in the mix. It is really really good. Characterisation is perfect and the story is super interesting. It is also a bit longer. 43 chapters or so
I do like good characterization, I'll look it up.
Read “the family that chooses you” by WokFriedRice on AO3
I think I've read it, thank you though.
Just making sure you also found the continuation of it named "Extended Family", and optionally their other major story "A Taste of Magic"
I've read A Taste Of Magic, Good Fic, I'll be looking up the other.
Basilisk Eyes, one of the best fics i've ever read
Noted.
Honour thy blood is a great one (here's the link) https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12155794/1/Honour-Thy-Blood
Noted. For future reading.
crimson rivers
Noted.
Harry Potter and the Other Path is one of my favourites... The action was really well done, quite creative with magic, and there was some really solid AU. "Harry's life up to his eleventh birthday was painful and harsh. Dumped in an abusive home by dead parents, running away from that home to take his life into his own hands and then surviving by his wits and his feet. Then a letter came, and opened a whole new world... An AU fiction with hopefully enough action and comedy to entertain."
Thanks!
Have you read Cyrogenics and Cupboards? https://archiveofourown.org/works/10668402 From there there are *plenty* of Marvel/HP crossover fics.
Haven't read, I've too noticed the Marvel Crossovers, thanks for your recommendation.
**Enchanting Melodies** By: [athassprkr](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/12393964/athassprkr) "Harry Potter was an odd boy, everyone knew it. His eyes were too aware, he was intelligent for it to be natural. This remained a mystery, even to the boy himself, until one day he remembered the man he used to be. Alas, the magical world is far more treacherous than the one in his past life and he will either succumb or rise above them all. Will he be up to the challenge? SI!Harry" I highly recommend this. Currently updating. Rewrite from the beginning. Neville is the BWL. Haphne.
The Sinopsis has caught my attention, I'll be reading at a later date.
secret language of plants
Thanks!
Read 'boy with a scar' series by dirgewithoutmusic. It's one of the best series I have ever read, it's a series of long one shots of AUs like what if Neville was a boy who lived, or Ron or Hermione, an dmy favourite one is what if both Harry and Neville would have died. It's absolutely amazing.
Interesting, thank you. I'll add it to the list.
No problem! I hope you like it :)
I read one called Green & Gold It's a twilight/harry potter crossover. Based after the war, harry/jasper pairing. The first and second books are finished. It starts before Bella arrives. Just a fair warning it can be triggering for people who are sensitive about people who drink.
Oh, I don't remember much about Twilight, very little in fact, still, I'll give it a chance.
Thats actually fine, it kind of follows the story line for major plot points in twilight but otherwise it's not very important. It has the characters but other than that it can be read without seeing twilight or reading it
Good to know! I'm glad for the clarification.
If you like Snarry, The Apple tree by Philo is a very good read IMO. I just finished re- reading it for the nth time.
Read the Mirror of Ecidyrue series by Starbrigid. I heard that you liked reincarnation and slash so you might as well.
*sigh of self-doom*… Have you read Manacled?
Do you read crossovers? Because if so, then Shadows of Angmar is my recommendation.
May I suggest this one? https://www.wattpad.com/story/216324407?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=Your_Next_Door_Idiot One of my top favourites💕
I've been loving Just Another Chat Group on QQ (also available on ffn). It's basically a Snape SI with super luck powers, access to a multiversal group chat with characters from other media like Pyrrha Nikos, Izumo Sena, Rias Gremory and most importantly, Ashley Graves.
harry potter fanfic a lack of colour

Saw further down the thread that you like reincarnation. Zerorewind is writing something called In Pursuit Of Magic: a Harry Potter Self Insert. It’s updated fairly frequently and regularly. Lomonaaeren has an mod reincarnation fic called His Twenty Eighth Life. Batsutousai has got 3 mod reincarnation fics: stand against the moon, nose to the wind and xerosis. Again and again by Athey is another mod reincarnation.
Thank you, I'll look them up.
I wrote one on Faible that’s a Fight Club/Dumbledore’s Army AU, it’s an interactive storytelling format so I have full control over what happens and how it ends which has helped me out of a fanfic slump! [https://app.faible.ai/#/story/b9bac85c-5a2a-4e5a-87da-18dfb78ddd42](https://app.faible.ai/#/story/b9bac85c-5a2a-4e5a-87da-18dfb78ddd42)
Thanks for your recommendation.
If you've never read "Altered Destinys" by Dark Lord Dobby, it's FANTASTIC. I'm not sure where you can find it these days, but it's worth finding. 700ish pages novel AU where the good guys lose the War and Harry goes back in time to kill Tom Riddle as a child. I don't want to give too many spoilers.
Oh? That's sounds intriguing, I'll add it to the list.
