A Second Chance
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4260190/31/
Gen Harry Potter

Great story and one of my favorite story lines where Harry is raised by his future self. In this one he is raised by James's blood adopted brother Diablos Potter. Who we later find out is Harry from another timeline. The action is great and the heroes flawed. With Harry being raised differently all the interactions are different especially with Draco and Hermione. There is no pairing but still the interactions among the characters shows the deep affection and trust that motivates them to protect each other no matter who stands in the way. The depiction of Dumbledore in both lives is disturbing because there is a very fine line between devoted to a cause and a fanatic to a cause. I love the loyalty and sassyness of Diablos house elf. There is a follow up story I have not read yet but I am sure it is just as good.

Tony Dinozzo, Undercover Marine
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11550174/19/
Tony/JJ

Great story with a premise I have not seen before. Tony DiNozzo is actually Major Anthony DiNozzo, USMC who is undercover in NCIS to seek out corruption. In the sixth year of being Agent he meets JJ Jareau of the BAU and falls in love. He eventually receives permission to read her in and this is their story. There is romance, angst, wedding, and pregnancy in addition to the usual bullets, crime and team drama. Very entertaining and one I read before and lost. You really feel for poor Tony who is nothing like his NCIS persona but he is the best at what he does and is a dedicated marine. The author focused on how hard the relationship was and just how many compromises they had to make as a couple which included hiding everything about Tony to her teammates. I wish the author had continued with an epilogue of what happened when the baby is born but all in all a great story with a satisfying ending.

Years at War Series by eristarisis
Part 1: Triwizard Warfare
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6859194/1/Years-at-War-Part-1-Triwizard-Warfare
Het Harry/Hermione, Harry/Fleur

Excellent1st of three in the series. There is action galore and beginning in the 2nd story sex. The characters are well fleshed out and behavior fits the world they belong in. That said they are also the most depressingly sad stories I have willingly read. I usually try to stay away from unless I am sure they have a happy ending. This one has a strange optimistic ending. It is a true depiction of war, good guys lose as often as they win, poor Harry never catches a break. That said this author is very, very good and makes no bones about writing a story where everyone dies. Well not everyone but close. It is a story about child soldiers doing the work that the adults failed at. About loss, betrayal, that forgiving an enemy can lead to a knife in your back and how sometimes love is just not enough. Good intentions can lead to bad consequences and sometimes your temper can be your own downfall. while they may not be my favorite type of story, they are some of the best I have read.

Bones Of The Reaper by steamfan
Gen Doom/Star Trek
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6268033/27/Bones-of-the-Reaper

Excellent story about Bones actually being Reaper from Doom. The crew of the Enterprise find out when McCoy accidentally gets his skull cracked when he, Jim, and Spock are captured. When he awakens he is missing time and does not remember being McCoy. Instead Spock and Jim are introduced Reaper who helps them fight their way out. Later he explains who and what he was. Now though there is danger when idiots (cough, Komack, cough) try to reopen the sites on earth and Mars. The writer managed to integrate the Bones and Grimm characters without losing anything of our favorite snarky doctor. The surprising introduction of Bones' daughter and her comments is funny and sad at the same time. The characterization is done well with no one over acting and they even use some of his known quirks and tying them to the past. Jim of course can't wait to point out that Bones needed his big sister to help him. Discreetly of course since Bones already threatened him with painfully embarrassing physical.

Gen Salazar Slytherin & Godric Gryffindor

Awesome story with a different twist on the Salazar is Harry.  The story is hard to describe and lets just say no good deed goes unpunished. Salazar was trying to stop his descendant and thanks to polyjuice and the horcrux accidentally looses his memories and grows up as Harry Potter until he gets his letter. Then the memories come back and he turns the wizarding world upside down and inside out. He finds to his surprise in 2nd year he is not the only immortal. I have to say my favorite character is Nora Slytherin's snake. She is hilarious. The story is well thought out and paced appropriately. Salazar and Godric are not super-powered, they make mistakes, sometimes it comes back to bite them in the ass. Nobody is suddenly best friends. While the story is not finished it is over 400,000 and stops after 5th year. Definitely worth a read

Three To Backstep by sinyk
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10766595/1/Harry-Potter-Three-to-Backstep
Het Threesome Hermione/Harry/Daphne

Pretty good story, a response to a challenge. This one is a Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Daphne Greengrass soul bonds who are given a last chance to make it right. I like this one because it made me laugh and is one you could read at work always important. Harry is sarcastic, angry, still a little naive, Hermione is determined, brilliant, still wanting to trust but knowing you can't, and Daphne is traumatized but still cool and politically knowledgeable. They make an awesome team and intend to set the wizarding world on its ear. Some of Harry speeches make you want to stand up and say Hell yeah it's time someone said that. A good story that is entertaining with a twist on the going back in time. Love the angels.

Bargaining by protagonist
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1108212

Awesome story I love a good time travel story and this one is something else. How many people think "if only" in this case it's Loki. He answers a summons from Jane only to find that Thor is dead. He can't handle it especially since there is no one to blame. No one comes forward to take credit for his murder. No matter how hard he attacked Thor he was not supposed to die and the fact it was at another's hand is even worse. He finds a way but there is a heavy price, his life and future, in addition if anyone finds out it will all go back to the previous timeline. But he is no coward and his life has always revolved around Thor as if he was his sun without him there is no point. He goes back further then he thought and begins to try and ensure that Frigga and Thor survive. There are twists and turns as Loki is forced to take a hard look at his life. While there is some fairly emotional and angsty moments there is a lot of action and humor because fate loves laughing at people. Poor Loki. The author has a good handle on Loki’s character as well Odin. The flashbacks give the reader the basics of what happened and the more you learn the more you realize just how much Loki lost his mind.
