Darcy Lewis, Vampire Slayer, Semi-Retired Series


















Darcy Lewis, Vampire Slayer, Semi-Retired
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Series-2696

I love this series of one shots because damn they are funny. Slayers do not know she is with the Avengers and a shield agent; the Avengers do not know she is a slayer and strong enough to knock out Ironman. Of course eventually they each find out and it is just a light hearted funny series that does not take itself too seriously. This has got to be one of my favorite lines in the series. This is when Coulson gives her the badge making her a "Limited" Shield agent because he has made it clear if she is ever a full time agent he is retiring.

"Does that mean I get a title? Am I Agent Lewis? Can I arrest people? Can I shoot people? Can I squeeze them, and hug them, and call them George?"
Coulson picked up his pen and returned to his paperwork. "You're title is Special Agent Lewis. You could arrest people before. It's your right as an American to have the ability to make a citizens arrests. You already shoot too many people with your taser. And, what you do in your spare time, hopefully in your bedroom, is none of my business."

Hellmouth Heroes (Multi-Pairing)


















Hellmouth Heroes by KColl
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-27621/KColl+Hellmouth+Heroes.htm

Excellent story the world is ending and the gods are not happy. They decide that the world needs more champions and that the infamous Halloween Costume Magical night was the best chance especially if they use only one the Marvel Comics. They also decided to fix a few of the more problematic people. Mainly Buffy and her inability to listen to anyone and Angel would couldn't hold on to his soul and caused more problems with his wishy washy character. They also bring in more people early such as the Gunns, the Doyles, Pike, Jonathan, Wood and some potentials. Afterwards they keep most of the powers they are permanent but what I like is that they are not all powerful. They are human they make mistakes, they are teens and young adults and hormones get in the way but it is a damn good story and definitely worth rereading.

Growing up Black (Gen)

















Growing up Black by Elvendork Nigellus
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6518287/1/Growing-Up-Black

Excellent story, I love this story mainly because it flows so well and is realistic. Rich Squib customers come to the Dursleys for dinner and just happen to hear a voice under the stair. At first he thinks it is a house elf after checking because he was sure he was dealing with muggles he finds he was wrong. Upon realizing it is a child's voice he asks his name, when Marcus Black hears the name Harry Potter he is furious. He calls to his wife Clytemnestra Malfoy Black and after hearing the pitiful excuses and comments they take 6 year old Harry away.
 They know they must do something and Marcus has a portrait of the Potters as he was close to James. After consulting they decide to make him a Black using dark blood magic. He is presented as the son of Regina Malfoy and Sirius Black. And the story takes off from there the most interesting characters to me are Cassiopeia Black and Abraxas Malfoy. Cassiopeia finds out the truth almost from the beginning but decides he has enough Black blood through his grandmother and the blood ritual as well as the power to defeat the Dark Lord and lets not forget being a parselmouth to become an excellent Heir and future Lord preferably dark but would settle for grey. Dumbledore never saw them coming.

Harry Potter and the Deadly Heller (Harry/Ginny)

Harry Potter and the Deadly Heller by DianeCastle

http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-27958/DianeCastle+Harry+Potter+and+the+Deadly+Heller.htm

Awesome story that combines BTVS and Harry Potter perfectly. I usually do not like Harry/Ginny pairings as she always seemed lack character  Here the author shows just what Ginny is capable of from the moment she hears the words "Are you ready to be strong?" She uses her new powers immediately and later flat out tells Harry he is not doing this without her. She is more then his equal and will stand at his side. The action is amazing and the story flows consistently. She has slayer dreams to warn of trouble even though no one believes the first one. The getting the cup was pure thrill ride. A story definitely worth re-reading.

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.

White Knights and Dark Lords

White Knights and Dark Lords
Banner by TexasAries


White Knights and Dark Lords by Sherza
http://www.tthfanfic.org/wholestory.php?no=25248#chapter1

Excellent story that is funny, sad, exciting, some angst, and did I mention funny as hell. I love Xander and Spike and once you put them in Harry's world it is perfection. I think the qoute below describes the story perfectly:

My friend is a major earth witch. The little ritual that Moldywarts fellow pulled a month and a half or so ago got her attention. We started digging around, thinking some idiot was trying to end the world again. Instead we discovered Moldywarts, and Harry, and decided to come over and offer some help, because from the looks of things, you're not getting all that much."

The story then continues in a traditional Xander fashion and there is a sequel. What do they do with the ministry after they save it?

An Angel Of A Different Sort by Anime Ronin
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-8125/AnimeRonin+An+Angel+of+a+Different+Sort.htm

I do like the YAHF because you can do so many crossovers with them. This is one with Helsing in which Xander dresses as a famous butler and now he is in the land of tweed dealing with an insane boss, an even more insane vampire, plots in plots and duty. Exciting story with twists and turns enough to surprise you. Xander is special and proves his depth of character once again.
