Been an anxiety-fueled week and now I'm recovering from health stuff, so I've been doing a lot of rereading old favorites and eventually ended up on an HP next gen binge. All but the last are on LJ, not AO3:
And The Crowd Goes Wild Sports Night: Dan/Casey, Natalie/Jeremy, Casey/Dana. With references to Casey/Lisa, Casey/Sally, Jeremy/Jenny. 4,500 words; rated R. Summary: Good writers can find the words even when there is no script.
A 100-word drabble for each episode of Sports Night. Full of feelings on every front and character possible and so many amazing lines.
Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye Sherlock: Lestrade/John. Rated PG-13; no word count provided but somewhere above 5k and under 10k, I think? No author summary provided, but it's a fill for the kinkmeme prompt, "John is Lestrade's ex-boyfriend. And up to the moment where Lestrade runs up those stairs in Study in Pink he's not even certain John is still alive."
Really sweet, full of both adorable relationship building and lovely angst.
Let the Water Hold You Down Harry Potter: Gen MWPP-era ensemble AU, mostly Peter-focused, with background James/Lily, Frank/Alice, Remus/Sirius, and one-sided Remus/Peter. Rated PG-13, 12.5k words, lots of character death. Summary: What if Peter was a loyal Death Eater, but found a way to protect James and Lily from being hunted by Voldemort? When Peter sees to it that Harry Potter is born on July 15, 1980, the world changes.
This one hurts in such good ways, and it's such a well-written, well-crafted AU idea.
The Secretary's Sensational Seduction Harry Potter: Next Gen, Scorpius/Albus, Scorpius/James. PG-13, 11k words. Summary: In love with Albus, his gorgeous boss, Scorpius Malfoy feels like Al sees him as another piece of office furniture. But Al's brother, the arrogant, wealthy James Sirius Potter, has a plan. If Scorpius pretends to be his lover, Albus will surely want what he can't have. The plan seems to be working. But what is James' real agenda here?
Aaand this is just tropey fluff, but I love the author's writing, and how they characterize the next gen kids in particular.
And hey, it's an AO3 link:
The Grandfather Clock (23256 words) by floweringjudas Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley, Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood, Teddy Lupin/James Sirius Potter Characters: James Sirius Potter, Percy Weasley, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Lucy Weasley, Teddy Lupin Additional Tags: Pining, Coming Out, Coming of Age, Dysfunctional Family Summary:
James Jr wants a summer job; his Mum suggests he help out Uncle Perce.
Additional content warning from notes: James develops a largely one-sided crush on his uncle and flirts with him. There is a kiss. There is nothing more. As it remains unrequited and sort of innocent, I didn't think it warranted an incest tag, but forewarned is forearmed, I guess.
And speaking of loving characterization, this is honestly one of my all-time favorite next gen fics; I love this version of James, and this version of Percy, and the growing friendship between them is so wonderful and sweet.
