I am an avid reader; to me a good story is one that you can enjoy re-reading. I love fan fiction but tend to mislay stories. Here I am posting links to stories that are Gen or Het pairings. I have designed banners for my favorites to put on Pinterest. If the author objects to the picture please let me know and I will remove it.

Anakin/Padme
Wow just wow. Awesome story something happened and as he was dying he replaced his younger self at a critical point in time. Here is where most people go for little changes then make a bigger one down the road. Not Anakin, he makes major changes right at the beginning. He blows the order out of the water when he proves he is dark but that dark does not equal evil. He begins his change to make the world a better place and to save his loved ones. One insane moment at a time. Funny , sad introspective, with a 3 dimensional character that just pulls you in. A fascinating look inside the head of Darth Vader. there are several other stories in this series.

Harry Potter : Geth by mjimeyg
Harry Potter: Geth by Mjimeyg
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10784770/43/Harry-Potter-Geth
Het Harry/Tali, Shepard/Ashley
Harry Potter Mass Effect Crossover
Awesome story that is full of action, drama, human stupidity, alien arrogance, and scenes that will make soda shoot out your nose because you are laughing that hard. This is a crossover between Harry Potter and Mass Effect that is exceedingly well done and while it is nice if you have the background in those fandoms it is not necessary. Thanks to Hermione trying to be helpful at the final battle Harry is thrown far into the future into Mass Effect and lands on the world of the Geth where he goes splat. The Geth rebuild him and ask him to become their ambassador and it all goes downhill from there. Along the way he meets Sheppard, Talia (who shoots him then later becomes his fiancee) Wrox along with the rest of the characters. He turns the world upside down and inside out. I love that while he is powerful he is not over the top he just knows how to use his resources wisely, he also has no problem with his friends calling him on his bullshit when he charges in like a Gryffindor. There is something for everyone including heroes that are not perfect. I first read it a while ago and just found it again. I am so glad I did

Story: Amalgum – Lockhart's Folly
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11913447/31/
Very good story with one of the weirdest time travel plots I have read. Harry has lost everything due to the idiot Ron Weasley and Voldemort. The muggles became involved and nuked the majority of wizardry world. Death does not want a master and agrees to let Harry have another chance. Unfortunately there is a problem an instead of entering his body he enters Gilderoy Lockhart. Then the fun begins the two switch back and forth while teaching and foiling Dumbledore plan. It is funny, strange, light hearted fun.

My Daughter by therealthing
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3330288/1/My-Daughter
Het Vader/Padme, Leia/Han
Great story, I love a good redemption story especially one based on a great love story. In this case what if Darth Vader realized that Leia was his daughter as soon as he saw her. learning that his child lived started his travel back to the light side. he had no intention of letting Leia be tortured or her home planet destroyed. He helps her escape aiding Ben Kenobi to his shock and of course as soon as he meets Luke he realizes who he is as well. He ends up on the Falcon when Leia is wounded. he also finds out that Padme also lived. the story is intense in parts with some excellent dialogue and character development. Anakin is more gray now then light or dark. He has a second chance and will let nothing stand in his way. The author takes that one change and takes the story in a different direction. Very well done and you gotta laugh at his reactions when he realizes that Leia is interested in Han.

Great, great story something that I have come to expect from this author. This is the first I think that has the goblins involved in the time travel. Harry doesn't come to Hogwarts and when they go to get Harry they find he died at the age of three from starvation. The poor little body is brought back to be buried alongside his parents. The funeral makes you cry and the author hints at what is to come when as they are leaving there are cloaked figures watching it all. Severus is the one to figure it out first since he dressed the body and realized his magic was in the body, it was a golem. He is the one to go back in time and a wonderful story begins to unfold. I like this author in particular because of her character development, their humanity makes them easy to relate to, they are not over the top super Harry and supporting cast. In this case Severus takes Harry to the Caribbean to a world so different from British magic. The trials and tribulations of a single father especially one of Severus temperament is funny. Snape begins to realize that he has let people in beginning with his son who he will die to protect hoping that once he learns the truth he will not hate him. The headmaster of Harry’s school is in the know due to circumstances giving him someone to connect with. In addition he has become general friends with many in the area, he is no longer the greasy bat of the dungeons. A very enjoyable story with a sequel, I can't wait to see where it goes.
The Brave New World

https://www.ultimatehpfanfiction.com/
I put both links because not sure which will work, sometimes the first link sends you to the homepage. if it does on the menu go to “ Others” and then “Everything”. This is a list of all stories since this is the only location for the stories that I could find you will notice they are in red so easy to find.
Great story or should I say stories as the author takes the first chapters and then splits them at a crucial moment. In one story he stays at Hogwarts "The Final Straw" and this one where he leaves Hogwarts for America. I love the relationship between the twins and Harry, the twins always have his back and in fact make it to his school to help him fight off a Lycan attack. As Dobby would say Harry fights best with the twins at his side. The host of OC's are well drawn out. And there is some definite drama that doesn’t really have anything to do with England that Harry gets dragged into. And I do agree with some critics he basically has Ron and Hermione 2.0 in Warrick and Sophie but this is them without the obvious flaws. Not say they don't have flaws and Harry is the most flawed character but he knows this and looks to his friends to keep him stable. He definitely is paranoid and bitter lashing out at those he thinks betrayed him small or large. He comes off as arrogant but he can back up what he says. I like the characterization for the Golden Trio which is really realistic for teenagers that grew up too fast. The action scenes are extremely good but the author can get a little carried away with minutiae and the story drags in spots. There is no extreme bashing but I loved the howler campaign especially the all female howler. Like he told some complaining males don't cheat and you have nothing to worry about. I read this long ago and just found it again. An enjoyable read and definitely one worth keeping now I think I'll go reread Final Straw.

From A to Z
From A To Z by rachel500
Tony/Pepper
https://archiveofourown.org/works/13790139?view_full_work=true#bookmark-form
Excellent story with some seriously amazing twists. When I first started the story I thought it was good but not really different from most time travel. But the deeper you go the more you are pulled in. It's not till near the end you realize just how much crap Tony has gone through in both timelines and the sacrifices he makes to ensure that this time they win. The scene in front of the committee where Steve is justifying his actions and they want Tony view on the Winter Soldier is just heart wrenching. He is trying so hard to be cool and unaffected but this time he has support, he has Pepper, he has people to tell him his reaction is normal and Steve was wrong. The author includes both versions of the timeline in each chapter you get A and Z. Even though time pushes many things to happen as before the changes in the people and their reactions thanks to Tony's intervention is just amazing. Strange was right he was the only one who could do this and he did one hell of a job.
The Scholar
The Scholar by Morena
Gen Merlin & Arthur
http://www.tthfanfic.org/wholestory.php?no=28215#chapter1
Very good story of Merlin while waiting for Arthur to be reborn gets involved in the Stargate Program as an old man. It just goes hilariously downhill from there. The story explores some of what happens although the timeline in SG1 is not really changed just added to. Then Merlin realizes that Arthur is ready to be born so before he leaves SGC He brings in a long mysterious package that when he unwraps it in the gateroom turns out to be a sword that he thrusts into the ground that rises around it until it becomes the Sword in the stone. Good writing, and as for the ending it was perfect especially the story of the dragon that lasts through generations. Not to take away from or make light of the author but this is the kind of refreshing story you need when you finish an intense, dark, or angsty story to help you recharge

More Time by rhealorde

Kirk/Wonder Woman
Awesome story, hands down the best Star Trek crossover story I have read to date and trust me that is a lot of stories. It is so smoothly done that you don't think of it as a crossover. The characters remain true to themselves Diana doesn't just leap on this to her reincarnation of someone she loved. Actually she can't stand him at first because here is this underachieving, giant smartass child who is the spitting image of a brave, heroic man. Later after the third movie is when the plot really takes off and now she is dealing with a mature, seasoned captain. Still the relationship moves at a slow realistic pace as she doesn't want to be unfair to Kirk and see a dead love when looking at him. The explanation as why the world does not remember the justice league is heartbreaking. The fight scenes are outstanding and you will laugh and cry through the story. The ending was not what I thought it would be but it was perfect. The epilogue was beautifully executed and kept true to who the characters were. I mean Uhura as president yeah I could see that. I don't think I have read a story I enjoyed more and this one I will be downloading to my kindle for the next long car trip.
When Worlds Collide by elfinblue
Gen NCIS/Supernatural
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9018850/21/When-Worlds-Collide
Good story with a humorous twist to it. This is a crossover between NCIS and Supernatural. There are no real pairings just hints. This story is about Crowley's brilliant plan to get rid of the brothers by targeting Gibbs team and making the brothers look guilty. It doesn't work and you are dragged along for a wild ride as the crack team decides to show the Fed's how it is done. DiNozzo and Dean get along like two peas in a pod. The NCIS team come up with the idea that Dean and Sam are really chasing terrorists that they call monsters when they are actually monsters acting as terrorists. Abby is wonderful and really gets into the whole sigils and accidentally bans Castiel almost killing Dean. It's a good story, the brothers get to clear their name, the government learns what is out there and the team is tighter than ever.

Mischief's Heir
Mischief’s Heir Series by mad_fairy
https://archiveofourown.org/series/309447
Gen
Excellent set of stories I love how one small change can have a large cascading effect. In this case Harry prays to Loki the summer between 1st and 2nd year after being locked up and is answered. This begins a change of events that leads to the stars. It not only affects Harry but Loki as well. Each story is well plotted moving the characters along without making them too OOC. There are different pairings due to the different circumstances and Dumbledore is out maneuvered with ease by the trickster god. There is no character bashing just some characters that are being more fleshed out with better potential. Each story is funny with just enough drama to keep it real. I love what happened with Hermione because really she was that pushy. She shows actual development into a full 3d character with flaws as well as virtues. Dumbledore’s reaction to the “rescue” of Tom Riddle is funny. Even more hilarious is the reaction of Shield, Tony, and Peggy Carter. Thanks to the Unspeakables trying to keep the muggles busy while moving planets Captain America is found 20 years early, then comes the Winter Soldier. There is even a nod to the Avengers movie when Loki invades earth and Shield is sure the wizards are back. Luckily his wards have been looking for him and send Thor to rescue him. The Avengers have no idea what is happening and the ending is just perfect. An enjoyable set of stories I hope the author comes back to show us their lives on the new planet.

The Adventures of Godiva, Mischief and Mayhem Series
1st Story: This Gonna Be Good by GStarshine
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8462437?view_full_work=true#main
Fem Harry/Fred/George
Excellent story with a lot of action, humour, sarcasm, and a general vengeance is mine attitude. While not a great fan of fem Harry I do enjoy a good one. This is already past 400k and does not seem to stop. Harriet loses everyone thanks to traitors Ron & Hermione and a power hungry Dumbledore who has aligned with Thanos. This includes her soulmates Fred & George and her infant son. While dying she inadvertently triggers a Phoenix power and travels back to just before Hogwarts. This time she is going to save her family which includes the Avengers and watch those that betrayed her burn as her world once did. She wants her family of choice back and decides to make friends anonymously with the pre-Avengers. She is determined to save them all including Loki which really pisses of Odin. Turns out there are Phoenixes Laws in Asgard and being considered one of their flock is an honor. Odin paranoid that a Phoenix will rule against him and take the throne tries to enslave her and pays dearly for going against a Phoenix as well as someone under phoenix protection. A hell of a read with ghosts, transforming animals, suspicious Not-Avengers, a pissed off Fury and a Dumbledore who can't believe how bad his plans are blowing up in his face. Harriet Potter has stacked the deck and is playing to win. The characters are well written and the story flows smoothly. Even is you did not know the background stories the characters are fleshed out enough without being redundant. Of course changing the future is not easy and one change can start an avalanche.

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.

Damaged Defenders (Gen)
Damaged Defenders by Sherza
http://archiveofourown.org/works/816544/chapters/1545281
Awesome, awesome story that follows the line of what if Thor was smarter & faster to realize that Loki was being controlled, what if Phil, Natasha & Clint didn't trust Fury, what if Tony played Fury and decided to call in back-up in the form of the X-Men, what if the Battle of New York went differently. You would have this awesome take of a group of damaged people who will have to step up to unite the world because that was only the first strike and war is coming. I have to admit I was leery of the constantly changing viewpoints but with a group this large and complicated you almost have to. The author makes it work and there are some scenes that just wouldn't work as well such as the scenes with the Winter Soldier. Slowly other characters are being pulled in and this is going to be huge and ongoing for a while but so worth the read.
