Can you also recommend Harry Potter fics or is that only for Twilight?

Oh sure!

I haven't yet gotten around to composing a full Harry Potter fic recs masterpost, as it is I think @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin has one lying around somewhere. However, I can't find it. Here I go making my own, then.

I feel a vague compulsion to put it in a readmore to make it easier to add more fics as I think of them.

Oneshots

Butterflies and Flowers As Ginny lays dying in the Chamber of Secrets, the Diary seeks to comfort her.

Added 20/6 2023: Nineteen Eighty Rita Skeeter overhears a shocking conversation about the true nature of Lord Voldemort, that mysterious man who seems just a little too good (or bad, depends who you're asking) to be true.

Potter's Wheel Harry would very much like to take destiny into his own hands, but he's going to need Voldemort on his side.

Sisyphus Harry dies, and he's born again. And again. And again.

Added 20/6 2023: Interview with the Spider Rita Skeeter interviews Horace Slughorn. Cowritten by myself and @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin.

Blue In a future that never happened, where Voldemort won, he has lost his grip on sanity. He fixates on the long-dead Bellatrix Lestrange as an anchor.

Caveat Inimici Easily the best Hermione fic you'll ever read, and one of the cleverest Harry Potter fics you'll ever find as well.

Faded Grey Hugo Weasley is an angry young man who comes to idolize the late Lord Voldemort.

The Truth About Harry Isn't Harry Potter just a little bit too good to be true?

For the Tom Riddle enthusiast

Blind Faith Know how some ships have a good fanfic, and it becomes the fanfic for the ship? This is the good Bellatrix/Voldemort fanfic. Haunting, with beautiful prose.

Cat Among the Pigeons Touting my own fic shamelessly. My neglected, though not abandoned darling. An AU in which Albus Dumbledore sacrificed himself to make the wizarding world a utopia.

Honey Propolis The author tripped, fell, and wrote a very nice fic instead of a PWP. In which Tom Riddle is a good person, savior to the wizarding world, but his power to protect everyone comes from giving rim jobs to Harry Potter. No, really.

In Death, Standby Voldemort failed to kill Harry Potter, but was not vanquished. Faced with this hard to kill toddler, he made the questionable decision of bringing it home. Now he has a toddler. This is a common enough premise for fics, Harry raised by Voldemort has been done many times. This fic stands out as it does it magnificently well.

One Night Stand Squee. One of those fics I can't believe is actually being written because it's so rare that I get exactly what I want. This fic, in which Voldemort and Lily Evans have a romcom style case of mistaken identities and end up sleeping with each other, is a delight through and through. I'm a little bit in love with the author.

Added 20/6 2023: Prison Blues An ABO fic in which ABO is a metaphor for gender roles and sexism.

Rock Bottom Dumbledore was a troll, so he actually hired Tom Riddle after that job interview. Now, fifty years later, Tom is still there, teaching, hating his life.

Harry Potter/people these fics somehow convinced me to ship him with, the author was that good

A Road Less Travelled By Veela!Harry/Lucius Malfoy where they have to fuck or Harry dies. Infuriatingly, the fic is amazing.

Added 20/6 2023: Disillusioned Not Harry Potter, but the fic pulled of Tom Sr./Merope (And... I won't spoil but it pulls off some other ships as well. I'm horrified, but hats off to a merciless author) and features a fantastic Merope.

Transformation Harry/Draco Malfoy. Only, Draco isn't Draco, he is the far more sinister thing that devoured Draco Malfoy's very soul, and now has its eyes set on Harry.

The Carnivorous Muffin's works - an incomplete list of treasures

Yes, yes, I'm a filthy sycophant. I make no apologies.

Ellie Potter and the Train Station Called Purgatory The Muffin's take on WBWL.

My Immortal Lily and the Art of Bringing Me to Life I think the summary speaks for itself.

October Tom Riddle falls in love with a god, and everything changes.

Wanting Things The Muffin had to write Death (canon Harry Potter who realized he was the personification of death, lived long enough to see C-beams of Tannhauser Gate, and finally came to a parallel dimension where he meets the cast of Lily and the Art of Being Sisyphus)/Lenin (the horcrux that lives in Eleanor Lily Potter's head) fic. She delivered. It got weird, but she delivered.

When Harry Met Tom I dared the Muffin to write a fic, she wound up writing something so radically different that I only shake my head when she brings up where the plot has ran off to now. It's a Tomarry romcom with timetravel.

The Unwinding Golden Thread Harry Potter travels back in time to the 1940's, where he sets about to prevent Voldemort. He succeeds, but is not prepared for the ripple effects this has on the course of history.

Just... go to her profile, anon. Everybody. It's a magical place.

Miscellaneous

A Harem of Toms Exactly what it sounds like. Hermione has one.

Stalker Makes the list for how well it depicts the trauma following rape, a rarity in fiction, fan-written or otherwise.

Added 20/6 2023: The Man Who Would Be King Lily Evans intended to die that night in Godric's Hollow, hoping that the sacrificial magic she would invoke would save her son. Voldemort realizes in time what she's up to, and from there, everything changes. Cowritten by myself and @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin.

That which we make for ourselves I'll make one excemption from my "never be critical of fanfiction" rule here to say that this fic might be a bit tough for some to read, the prose could use work. However, it makes the fic rec list anyway because the plot is out of this world. We start out with a fic I didn't have high expectations for, end with betrayal and heartbreak of Shakesperean dimensions. It's an incredible ride. If you want to watch Tom Riddle suffer and gasp with every plot development, here's your fic. Not for the faint of heart.
