Harry Potter and The Warrior's Path (Harry/Hermione)



Harry Potter and The Warrior's Path by Librarywitch
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4494886/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Warrior-s-Path

Great story that begins after the Goblet of Fire. Harry decides it is time to grow up and one of the things he does is to sign up for martial arts lessons. He ends up meeting Charles Stormchaser who later saves him from the dementors. He is also Harry's uncle. Things progress swiftly and Harry meets other members of Charles extended family. Harry begins to learn ancient Native American magic and along with Hermione and Ron obtain spirit animal forms, Cave Lion, Otter and Red Wolf. The trio return to Hogwarts stronger, smarter and wiser and the world begins to change rapidly. There is a little of everything in this story and Harry becomes the powerful wizard that we know he can be.

The Resilience of Time (Gen)



The Resilience of Time by Mnsk
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9434767/1/The-Resilience-of-Time

Great story with an interesting view of time travel. In this story there is a trigger to the ritual in this case the destruction of Nagato's eyes, the Rinnegan. Madara sets up the jutsu and the world resets. When Naruto makes genin the Fox wakes up and gives him the memories of his older version. The Fox explains that the only reason he is allowed to remember is because of the tailed beast and all the others will remember as well. The problem lies in the fact that chance plays a large part in the way things happen. The world will play out until the time of the trigger if it does not correct itself (The Rinnegan not being destroyed) the world will reset again and again. Each time will be a little more different because one person will go left one time and right the next time. Once the conditions are met the person setting the trigger will be reinserted into time and to him nothing will have happened until he gets the new memories. I do not think I have ever seen this theory before. The story is great it has action, drama, humor, and enough changes to keep it interesting without making anyone super powered. Naruto and his allies problem is time is resilient and does not like being changed. Some major events will still take place not necessarily in the same place, time or manner but still happen. The author lets the characters develop naturally and the readers gets a chance to see Sasuke develop into the leader he could be. The relationship between team 7 is a major part of this story.


{I found the clock on this site: (http://booksonthenightstand.com/2011/12/botns-158-when-good-authors-go-bad.html) don't know who created it, I just thought it was perfect for time travel and the site is interesting as well check it out}

Harry Potter and the Champion's Champion (Harry/Hermione)



Harry Potter and the Champion's Champion by Driftwood1965
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5483280/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Champion-s-Champion

A very good story and once you read it you will understand the canary. The scene with the dragon is one of the funniest I have read. The story is a humorous look at the Tri Wizard tournament. Hermione finds out that if a Champion is injured and cannot be healed in time, then he can select a replacement champion. The replacement is Ronald Weasley and from there the fun starts. Harry and Hermione get together, Ron and Draco prove how stupid they are and Voldemort gets destroyed and they live happily ever after. Very, very funny story and the ending or I should say two endings are hilarious. This is just one of those stories that is fun to read especially if you just finished a long depressing or dark one.

Twins: A Different Life (Gen)



Twins: A Different Life by Jessiikaa15
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8873552/1/Twins-A-Different-Life

Great story with a wicked sense of humor. I like the wrong-boy-who-lived because there is so much potential. In this case it is the wrong-girl-who-lived and Harry is banished to the Dursleys. Merlin steps in and transports Harry back to the time of the founders. Yes this is cliche but really there are only so many ideas but the author knows this and does not spend a lot of time there. Instead we meet a confident, cunning, ambitious founders heir who is determined to teach his birth parents and Dumbledore a lesson. I like the way that Sirius and Remus have evolved, Sirius has become the Black Lord and has fallen out with the Potters due to their behavior to his godson. Draco is wonderfully funny in that he is sure that Harry is insane but likes him anyway. There is action, drama, angst, romance and humor I cannot wait for an update. I think I will check out her other stories next.

Harry Potter and the Escape to New York (Harry/Hermione/Fleur)



Harry Potter and The Escape To New York by Writing Warriors
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8575201/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Escape-to-New-York

I used to love the show Beauty and the Beast and thought Vincent was the perfect hero. He is also the perfect person to be raising Harry. The story is excellent, the characters are believable and the reactions of Dumbledore fit him perfectly. This is a man so obsessed with his own omnipotence that he disregards the efforts of those around him to stop his mad decline. This is not so much about Harry and Voldemort as it is about Dumbledore's obsession with the prophecy and the belief that he is always right. The scene where Harry dreams about what could happen was chilling because it was so believable when you figure out just how far the man would go for the "Greater Good". The relationship between Hermione, Harry and Fleur does not feel forced there is a natural progression to the Triad. I cannot recommend this story enough. When Hermione found out about what really happened in first year all I could think of was man I hope she sends him a howler because we all know Hermione could really rip someone apart when she gets started. Then the American Ministry of Magic gets involved and everything just escalates. Harry shows what is possible with love and support and I would love if there is a followup.

Prince of the Dark Kingdom (Harry and Voldemort)



Prince of the Dark Kingdom by Mizuni-sama
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3766574/1/Prince-of-the-Dark-Kingdom

Awesome story that I admit I have been putting off reading for some time mostly because the first chapter just did not capture my attention. Happening on it again I decided to try my usual five chapters and I am glad I did. The story takes the same characters, the same major points and writes a whole new series.
The ending of the second book all I can say is OMG you have to read it to believe it. This is a huge story at this point so be prepared for a roller coaster ride. The story is darker then the original but does not warp the characters it just shows what would happen if Voldemort won. I am just starting Book IV and cannot wait to see where it leads.

DragonKin (Harry and Draco)



[The larger dragon seemed made for Aironth and is from the artist Telthona on deviantart. If you object to the picture being used please let me know: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/354/4/f/golden_dragon_by_telthona-d4jpvyo.jpg]

{The smaller dragon I thought was perfect for Harry's form and is from this website even though I translated the page to english I am still not sure who did the picture or the original language now that I think about it: http://prospectro.ru/uploads/images/0/2/7/4/371/9d7ab09af5.jpg}

DragonKin by Fyreheart
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5475405/1/DragonKin

Great story where an ancient race that had allied with the Potter family decided to check in on the current generation and was not happy with what they found. The story begins with Harry disappearing from the Dursley. When he comes back there are obvious changes the most import is that he is carrying around some extra personalities in his mind. Then things get even weirder with Draco deciding that Harry is his mate. There is no slash in this story even though they are mates. The final confrontation is wonderful and the reaction to Harry's adopted father is funny.

The following quote is directly from the author and explains why I am posting this on both sites:
"This story was not marked as slash and contained little physical contact as the relationship was about a straight Harry and a pansexual Draco who had to work through the years of animosity to build a gradual friendship and then a long-term partnership. Anything else would come later…do I hear a sequel in the making?"
I do hope that the artist decides to do a sequel it should be interesting.

The Goblin Market (Jareth/Sarah


(Hill of Tara, Mount of Hostages)

The Goblin Market by Viciously Witty
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4596100/1/The-Goblin-Market

As you can tell I am on a Labyrinth kick right now. Great story with a lot of twists and turns to keep your attention. Jareth has give Sarah time to grow and ripen not it is time to claim his Goblin Queen. Of course Sarah is not some meek obediant women to bow down her head and accept her fate. Both characters grow a little and you get some interesting background on the Goblin Kings and some interesting history. The tension ramps up nicely, there are no quick fixes and Jareth gets humbled several times. I love it.
