In the 19 year gap: Rec thread for post-DH fiction
« on: October 11, 2007, 04:24:33 PM »

The post DH world is a very, very dark place for fanfic. Most of what's out there seems to be slash and/or new generations fics, or just badly written fluff. So I figure we need to stick together. Have you read a good post-DH fic? Recommend it here, and let us enjoy it too!

I'll even start with a couple of recs:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3700217/1/The_Birthday_Boy - The Birthday Boy by Lady Bracknell. Just a future Teddy fic, with a lot of Harry and an appearance by most of the Weasley family.

On his seventeenth birthday, Teddy Lupin is forced to face a message from beyond the grave, and a cake with his face on it. It was enough to make anyone hide at the bottom of the garden, Harry thought.

http://archanas247.livejournal.com/15293.html - Wallflower by Archie. A H/G post DH fic. Comes close to how I think Ginny would react.  Tongue

Summary: It takes Ginny three weeks to speak to Harry again after the Battle of Hogwarts

http://inell.livejournal.com/630523.html   Sleepwalking by Inell. A sad fic featuring George post DH.

Summary: No one understands

ETA: More from me

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3681738/1/Pointless   Pointless by Fernwithy. Another Teddy fic, though this one features angryTeddy!

Summary: Harry's fifteen year old godson learns a hard lesson about the cruelty of war.

http://bagheera-san.livejournal.com/58080.html Five Moments of Doubt by bagheera_san. Just five moments during DH, featuring five moments that might have happened for those who stayed at Hogwarts.

ETA2: More, more!

http://paperclipbitch.livejournal.com/73251.html And When I Have Lost Everything I Will Remember This by Lady Paperclip. A lovely Remus fic that gives us a glimpse of some moments in his life that not many fanfic authors have explored, and others that every fanfic author who writes Remus has, in a very refreshing and heartbreaking way.

Summary: “And Dumbledore, empathetic bastard, came up with a way that means Remus can attend, and now he is here, with a trunk full of books and robes and things, and everyone else is busy making friends while he attempts to sink into the upholstery and simply not exist.”

ETA3: And I keep finding them!

http://community.livejournal.com/allthings_teddy/518.html Seven Looks at Luck, Life & Love by Kali. A look at Teddy growing up. I keep finding these fics!

Summary: Everyone says his parents were heroes, like heroism can read you bedtime stories or see you off to Hogwarts or send you Howlers for getting detentions.

"I am sorry too," said Lupin. "Sorry I will never know him...but he will know why I died and I hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life"

If I may indulge in a bit of shameless self-promotion. . .

A Match Made In Heaven - The first Quidditch match of the season brings Ginny a slew of surprises.
http://clawed-fics.livejournal.com/9013.html#cutid1

Separation Anxiety - When Hermione goes back to work after Rose is born Ron learns two things: Hermione does separation anxiety exactly how she does everything else - thoroughly - and six months is not too young for a first sign of magic.

Hey Sandy, I didn't know you had a fic journal! Why didn't you pimp it on LJ??? I'll be sure to check these out - there's not as much quality post-DH fanfic as I would like! Let's get more pimping under way!   Grin Grin Grin

I did, but being the epitome of an anti-BNF I don't get a lot of notice. Cheesy

I have three fics, two by the same author (Teddy-centric) and one of the HP world in general:

HP world, called After the Flaw (which I presume to mean the chapter title The Flaw in the Plan, not a flaw in the story): http://kanedax.livejournal.com/171048.html

Teddy Lupin stories by Fernwithy:

Teddy Lupin and the Forest Guard (Year 1 of Hogwarts): http://humongousbighead.homestead.com/teddytoc.html

Teddy Lupin and the Hunter's Moon (Year 3 of Hogwarts--yes, Year 2 was skipped): http://humongousbighead.homestead.com/moontoc.html  (please note that as of yet the chapter page has not been updated and the epilogue is not posted there...got to Fern's LJ and you can read the rest)

All three are quality stories.  Enjoy!

I bring fic!  Tongue

http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=3235&chapno=1 Thursday with Granddad by Vega Black.

It's a Neville piece, and a Neville piece set before Hogwarts, at that, but it's very well done, and I've got a thing for Neville these days ...

Summary: At their weekly day together Neville's grandfather contemplates his magicless grandson and considers the future.

http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=profile&id=1192 Ron's preparations by whizbee.

Very good Weasley interaction, I thought. A little bit of everyone.

Summary: "And what, precisely, do you imagine you'll be doing that is more important than completing your education?"

Ron tells his family about the Horcrux mission. Oh dear...


ETA:

http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid=3183&chapno=1  Freedom Fighter by Starsea

Lovely Percy and George interaction after DH.

Summary: On a beautiful summer's day, Percy visits his twin brothers.

MORE ETA: No idea what's up with me and the Gen fic.

http://community.livejournal.com/post_dh_fic/15403.html#cutid1 Severance by Cirocco Jones

A little heartbreaking George post DH fic.

ETA3:Found more fic.  Tongue

http://community.livejournal.com/hallowedmoments/12217.html#cutid1 Fairytale by jacyevans.

Summary: Hermione searches for a way to keep her parents safe from the coming war. The solution she finds is almost too hard for her to carry out. But they deserve a happy ending.

I've got a couple more of my own. Grin

Auld Acquaintances: On a special New Years Eve Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley come face to face with their hearts' desires.
http://www.simplyundeniable.com/viewstory.php?sid=4394

Sandwiched Between Kisses: Following Voldemort's defeat Harry wants a nap, a sandwich, and Ginny, but not necessarily in that order.
http://www.simplyundeniable.com/viewstory.php?sid=4464

Both stories are also at my fic journal: http://clawed-fics.livejournal.com/profile
