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.
