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

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.

Harry Crow (Harry/Hermione)

Harry Crow by Robst
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8186071/1/Harry-Crow

Another awesome story by Robst who has so far never written a story less then excellent. In this one Vernon returns Harry to the goblins who agree to take Harry into escrow.  Harry has been raised as a warrior and sent to Hogwarts in order to decide if he wishes to be considered Goblin or Wizard. The meeting with Hermione on the train is pivotal to the story. Hermione fell at first site of Harry who looked as if he stepped out of Pride and Prejudice as a younger version of Darcy. With the support of Hermione he foils everyone of Dumbledore's plans to bring him back into control. He brings Neville along for the ride and shows what a Harry Potter raised to think for himself, fight for what he believes in and independent without being arrogant can accomplish. The Wizarding World will never know what hit them.

Two Hawks Hunting (Severus & Harry)

Two Hawks Hunting by Snapegirlkmf

The continuation of Broken Wings and a great story in of itself. It does drag in a couple of spots but the author quickly brings the action back. I do love the way the author shows that just because you defeat the monster happily ever after has to be worked for. You cannot go through war, danger, death, abuse and still be a calm, cheery individual. When the battles are over is when you need your loved ones the most even if it is to give that boot in the ass to get help. Hedwig is hilarious you can see that this is an owl with an opinion and she is not afraid to tell her human that he is out of line.

Broken Wings (Severus & Harry)

(Hey I am getting better still have a way to go as you can tell by the bits of blue)

Broken Wings by Snapegirl KMF

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5079600/1/Two-Hawks-Hunting

I first read this story a couple of years ago then could not find it again which is the main reason for the blog. Not finding stories again not just this particular story.

Awesome story because of the characterization, you get a real feel for the players. If that makes any sense what I mean is that the author gives you enough background that you can see the connections. Snape has always been the perfect partner for Harry because he can truthfully say been there, done that and if I can survive so can you even if I have to drag you every step of the way. Teenagers make stupid decisions everyday, they all feel that no one has ever been where they are and that they will do anything for the pain to go away. Add magic and voila you can escape into an animagus form and being a teen you figure what the hell lets leap out of the tower window because I can fly. Oops well at least Snape was there to put him back together in more ways then one. I love this Snape and cannot wait to finish the sequel.

Harry Potter and the Power of Paranoia (Gen)

Harry Potter and the Power of Paranoia
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8257400/1/Harry-Potter-and-the-Power-of-Paranoia

This story illustrates the butterfly effect. What happens when a paranoid Harry starts looking sideways at events and decides that they are all out to get him. He continually misinterprets facts and takes action based on that that causes others to take action and you have a comedy of errors done in harry potter style. Funny story written clearly where the reader can see where the train wreck is going and it is believable and the author has the characterization done well.

Be Careful What You Wish For (Harry Potter) WIP

an excellent story well written adventure around every corner and some of the obvious holes in Harry Potter are being explained and fixed, cannot wait for the next chapter.

Buffy and crew find themselves in real danger when the world decides that Vampires are misunderstood and vampire slayers are murders. Buffy makes the decision that it is time to leave when all slayers and those that help them are to be put to the death. She is tired of dying for those who do not give a damn. they make the mistake of asking is she has any last words, poor fools.

"I WISH that this world and its people learn what it is to be without slayer protection, that all the slayers and our allies be sent to a world where we can save people and where we will not be seen as the enemy and freaks."

Even as she cried out the wish Dawn was moving her hand she threw the blood out and a voice cried out. "Wish granted and good luck slayer! With the blood of the key I open a portal and send the champions to a world where they can be safe and I claim this one for my own So mote be!"

So begins their journey to the Harry Potter world they arrive through the veil in time to pick up a hitchhiker (gee wonder who that could be) and decide to turn the wizarding world upside down especially when Buffy gets mad at everything she learns about the new world and vows to be its champion and fix it and magic of course picks that moment to listen. All hail Queen Buffy. Poor Harry, poor Dumbledore, poor Wizarding world.

3 Slytherin Marauders (Harry Potter) WIP

3 Slytherin Marauders by SeverusPhoenix
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4923158/1/3-Slytherin-Marauders

I love this story it is a fresh concept and there is little or no character bashing. Dudley gets a wake-up call when they are 10 years old when another child points out that he is the freak for what his family is doing. This starts him to question his and his parents behavior and Petunia finally grows a backbone and decides it is time to leave. She contacts Severus and tells him everything not sparing herself. He decides to get involved, there is a wild flight from a crazed Vernon, living on a dragon preserve, a resurrected Tom Riddle that is bonded to a dead dragon to keep him on the straight and narrow, animagus forms, a father son relationship with Severus, Lucius falls for a squib and Dudley is a wizard and something only rarely seen an evil Neville Longbottom. An excellent story.

Big brother (Xander) complete

I love Xander he is one of those characters that can be placed  anywhere and is believable. In this story a demon forces him through a rip in space and he ends up in Avatar The Last Airbender and proceeds to take Aang under his wing as a younger brother. The story will make you laugh as you see what trouble they get into, poor Xander wishes he was an only child again.
