New Haven (Duo/Wufei, Heero/Quatre/Trowa)

New Haven by Kit
http://anime2.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600021790&chapter=1
(Trowa, Quatre, Heero from picture by Minayuri on http://www.zerochan.net/421542)
(Wufei/Duo picture from wallpaper by Fox-Ninja-Tard I liked the background but it did not go with the story Duo looks like the sexy wraith that Wufei calls him  http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/363/e/6/duo_wufei_wallpaper_by_fox_ninja_tard-d4kl2aw.jpg)

Very good story in which Duo was not one of the group, instead he was part of Howard's black ops group, he was still Shinigami and he is much younger then the other pilots. He runs into Quatre at the gym who learns of the plans Duo wants to use to revitalize the neighborhood and to pay forward because of all he had to do in the war. The story is a little quick in spots, and the characters are a little OOC in other areas but the story line is good, the characters are believable and the sex is hot. If you want a toned down version the story is also available on Fanfiction. Duo may be younger but he shows that he is a total BAMF as well as an intelligent, loving, person. The dogs are funny and the children that they rescue really tie the characters together. It's just one of those feel good stories with enough action to keep it exciting.

Tears of a Basilisk (Harry/Severus)

Tears of a Basilisk byVetis
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2918103/1/Tears-of-a-Basilisk

A great story that is funny as well as sad. This is the true story of what happened to Harry Potter the Hero/Villain of the Wizarding World as revealed after his death. Severus is reading the journal that Harry wrote and as he reads and understands just what was happening he wonders how he could be that blind. There are twists and turns and you will love the red button. And poor, poor Draco the horror or the laughs poor, poor Draco. I will not spoil the story for you just know you will not regret reading just don't be drinking anything cause trust me soda going up your nose because your laughing hurts and is not good for the keyboard.

Gypsy Caravan (Harry/Draco, Snape/OC)

Picture by Mystkyten can be found at http://www.mystkyten.net/gypsy.html

Gypsy Caravan by Witchdragon
NC-17 version http://www.hpfandom.net/eff/viewstory.php?sid=18012
M rated version https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8243003/1/Gypsy-Caravan

Great story in which 5 year old Harry hears his aunt talking about the freaks that are stopping in town and he wonders if they might like him since he is a freak too. Turns out the gypsy caravan is made up of squibs and those that can do magic that is different from wizards and so are looked down upon. Once they realize just who this damaged child is they decide to keep and protect. They know they must protect from those who would send him back to the Dursley's and where better then in plain sight. A friend foretold them that he must face his destiny at 16, so calling upon all the allies they have made over the years they get Harry or Cherub the training he will need. He learns to wear a mask to hide his true strength from those that would use him. At 16 he releases the magic that hides him and goes to Hogwarts. This is not the boy savior they expect, this is not the moldable hero that Dumbledore wanted, this is someone raised to respect all creatures, to fight for his beliefs, to befriend anyone regardless of class or house. The story has plenty of action, angst, comedy, romance, bromance and in the NC-17 version plenty of well described sex. There is wonderful character buildup and the OC's are not over the top villains or heroes. The idea of the Magical Creatures Council as shown up in other stories and is well done here especially with not everyone automatically on the side of the prophecy child. The explanation of why wizards have lost so much made a lot of sense because lets face it most of the time you have to wonder why they are so prejudiced towards those with magical creature blood.

Dark and Light

Dark And Light by Faust VII
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4924413/1/Dark-and-Light

I wish I could pinpoint why this is such a good story. There is not a lot of action, romance or angst, yet somehow the story has no trouble keeping your attention. Because of the way Harry was raised he is a functioning sociopath. He quickly learns that he is different something pointed out by one of the people that he crosses path with Count D and his "pets". He gradually collects others as he realizes that he is becoming something more then human or wizard. He is becoming a God, A Dark God. Like I said not a lot of action but what there is, is intense and the characterization is creepy but fascinating. Dumbledore is a hell of a surprise but the ending fits the story and I wish the author would do some side stories to fill in the gaps.

Observations (Spock/Kirk)

Observations by jAnon
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5329445/1/Observations

This is an awesome story and unusual in that the perspective is majorly from Spock. Observations is a journal of his thoughts on serving on the Enterprise and James T. Kirk. It is long and very intense in spots. When it comes to his interactions and eventual relationship with Kirk there is no instant bond mates and happy ever after. This story is not for everyone in while there is action and romance the bulk of the story is made up of Spock's thoughts on the missions and the people. I admit there were parts that I sped read through because it was too scientific or mathematical. But it is worth the read, the story is huge and I would love to see author do a story from Kirks' point of view because I believe that they could bring new insights to that character. This is also one of the first stories where the author realizes that Spock is 1/2 alien raised on an alien planet with only a little insight into human mores and values. Too many authors make Spock a logical human.

People especially the young believe that love conquers all and that falling in love brings instant happiness. Then they find out that reality exists and give up figuring that it was never real love. They should read this story because the best description of romance, love and commitment I have ever read is in chapter 163.

In addition this quote is something that I have lived my whole life believing just never put into words like this.

"and sometimes we get hit with the biggest blackest storm anyone could ever imagine. That's not a reason to give up. That's not a reason to stop living. You find that when the hammer hits the anvil, you're the anvil. You get knocked around and beat up, but in the end it's the hammer that breaks, and the anvil remains. People're stronger than they think they are. They want to live more than they know they do."

This story is hands down the best look into Spock and his beliefs and thoughts. There is angst, misunderstandings, cultural mishaps, loss and at the heart of the story is an epic relationship that defines Spock and Kirk. There are parts I cried at and others where I cringed and wondered just how worse things were going to get but I am glad I read this story and have it downloaded so I can read again. Just realize that this is one of those stories the ones that once you start you can not put it down.

The Man On The Bridge (Steve/Bucky)

The Man On The Bridge by Boopboop
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1434274?view_full_work=true
Steve/Bucky, Clint/Natasha, Tony/Pepper

Awesome story that shows the depth and heartbreak of true friendship and a love that lasted through hell. Tony opens his door to find Captain America and the Winter Soldier on his doorstep, On the run and injured Steve went to the only person he was sure that could help. The story is nonstop action, with a lot of angst, horrible scenes of torture, moments of humor, the depths that men can sink to, brainwashing, conditioning a human and what lengths someone will go to for the person they love. In too many stories Steve comes off as a plastic, perfect, innocent figure. This story shows the man that lead attack operations behind enemy lines in WWII. Someone who knows the cost and when necessary is perfectly willing to kill to protect those he loves. The reactions from Bucky as he slowly regains his memories is truly heartbreaking. There is no quick fix in the story and this is only the beginning there will be more in the sequel. The scene where Bucky decides to leave and Steve lets him shows that sometimes love is not enough. Tony finally realizes that he has a family and the other team members realize that even without S.H.I.E.L.D. they have a home and a safety net. They are not alone and they will teach Hydra that targeting the Avengers is a mistake.

How (thanks to Gabriel) Dean and Castiel (accidentally) Raise Each Other (and Sam)

How (thanks to Gabriel) Dean & Castiel (accidentally) Raise Each Other (and Sam) by Vera_Dragonmuse

http://archiveofourown.org/works/540915/chapters/961503

Great story with an interesting story line. What if Castiel became involved years earlier with the Winchesters. As Gabriel lay dying he could see what was coming and decided on a desperate gamble. Using his remaining grace he goes back to a time when he spoke to Castiel and named him the angel of Thursday. He asks him to be the angel of Dean Winchester as well as Thursday and surprised Castiel agrees. Gabriel and Castiel watch the future Gabriel die. Castiel does not think further of that until Dean's mother calls his name for a blessing on her child. Castiel is involved in a war but remembers and checks on the infant. Later he feels the pain and fear of the mother and child and appears in time to see what happens. He decides the best way to be there for Dean is to grow with him. He finds a vessel that is dying the same one that he would later use and begins to appear to first just Dean, then Sammy and later in their teens he decides it is time for their father and Bobby to know of him. The story changes enough but remains true to the Supernatural story line. The growth of the relationship between Dean and Castiel is built wonderfully. The relationship between Sam and Gabriel is surprising and at one point hot as hell. John Winchester is alive and still a suspicious bastard. Bobby agrees with a lot of Castiel decisions to give the boys a better life.

Twice-Told Tale (Tony/Steve)

The Twice-Told Tale by Arysteia
http://archiveofourown.org/works/411599?view_adult=true

Not a long story but it is a good one. At their first meeting the reason Steve is staring and disappointed is not because he reminds him of Howard but he reminds him of Howard's brother Greg Stark. Their friendship and love gradually builds until one day Tony finds himself in the past. Then the fun begins, the story is heartbreaking, funny, fluffy, and shows what a burden that foreknowledge could be. I hope the author someday does a followup with Steve's point of view. As he must have gradually realized what was happening and had to allow it to happen without doing anything not even sure he would get his love back. Really, really good story and the scenes between Tony and his father, and Tony and Steve are well written and will make you cry especially the last one with his father.

A Different Moon (Edward/Harry)

A Different Moon by Shivani
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5841090/1/A-Different-Moon

I will say outright I am not fond of the Twilight books and the movie is only good in that it has some hot guys. Of course that is what fanfiction is for and this is a very good story that crosses Harry Potter and Twilight. In this one Harry's twin is considered the boy who lived and his parents are alive. Unfortunately he is stolen away by Dumbledore who binds his magic and places him in an orphanage. He is to be Dumbledore's backup plan but fate happens and he is adopted and the orphanage burns losing the records. Jump forward and Damon Gibbs on his 17th birthday breaks the seal and discovers magic, vampires, shifters and godfathers, oh my. Look out wizarding world Damon wants answers. This is more a story about relationships and growing up then defeating Voldemort. Edward is not a creepy stalker guy here and Bella actually grows up a little. There is action, romance, family, danger, betrayal and redemption.

Induction (Severus/Harry)

Induction by Shivani
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1925071/1/Induction

I will be honest once I realized where the story was going I was not sure about continuing. But I liked the Shivani's other stories so continued and I am so glad I did. The content is disturbing on many levels and reinforces the idea that I will never undergo hypnosis but this is a great story. Severus Snape is complicated and hard to write but the author does a great job and I have to admit the second to last chapter was hard as hell to read but the author pulls it off. Harry has grown into the wizard he always could be with the help of Severus and in the end they realize that together  is where they want and need to be.

The Other Slytherin Heir (Hermione/Bellatrix)

The Other Slytherin Heir by Jakelover4ever
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8778573/1/The-Other-Slytherin-Heir

What looks to be a great story and my first femslash from my niece. I did do a quick skim so I had an idea about the story and while not long it is definitely worth following. The pairing is Hermione/Bellatrix and happens around 5th year. The first chapter will grab your attention and make you go wow. Hermione is adopted and not so innocent. Her mother is an enforcer and in the first chapter has someone tied up in the basement! Hermione learns that she is descended from Salazar Slytherin from a well known and feared American Dark Family. This shows what happens to Harry without Hermione's brains and it is not pretty. The author is sarcastic, with a lot of dark humor and nice plot twists.

Forsaken (Harry/Draco)

Forsaken by Shivani
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1992755/1/Forsaken

Very good story that shows Harry's Slytherin side. Dumbledore decides he cannot have a gay Golden Hero so to fix the problem he puts a bracelet on Harry that acts as a shock collar. Anytime he has thoughts about another male the bracelet gives more and more pain. When he starts to get shocked for not being happy he decides that since Dumbledore is as bad as Voldemort maybe he should switch sides. He also takes a few others along for the ride. The story moves a little too fast in the beginning but begins to taper down into a good read. The characters reaction to the great revelation about Harry are hilarious especially Hermione's. There are some cliches but overall the story is funny with some drama and an interesting look at Harry and his relationship and influence on others. The author states that they were worried about Voldemort's characterization being to AU but really he has won he can afford to be generous and become more human. After all who is going to stand against him especially now that he has such a powerful heir.

Incorrigible Infatuation (Marcus/Harry)

Incorrigible Infatuation by Bitterweet Alias
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4746794/1/Incorrigible-Infatuation

Yes I know I recommended this earlier but all I did was a blurb and a link and this story deserves so much more. Awesome story with a rare pairing of Marcus and Harry. The way that Marcus is depicted and the reason for the the way he is will surprise you and is well done. The author makes the character believable and sympathetic. He is willing to go against everything he was brought up with to be with Harry and he ends up pulling his friends with him. The confrontation with Voldemort is awesome and he learns that he is not a monster. He is not nice, handsome, or gentle, but he is exactly what Harry needs. I wish the author would expand the Neville connection or do a followup.

Dark Repercussions (Harry/Many)

Dark Repercussions by Jessiikaa15
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8312363/1/Dark-Repercussions

Great, great story on what happens when Harry is pushed too far.  This is a dark Harry Potter story full of torture, rape, mutilation, angst, drama and surprisingly humor as well. After 5th year the assasain Sang Lys is created and he goes on to collect others for his team. I won't give out names but a few will shock you. The story is well paced and the characterization is interesting. While the characters are very different from canon they are believable and there are no sudden jumps in their development something I detest. You need to go into this story understanding that Harry is fundamentally insane. My only complaint with the story and with all the author's stories is the spelling. While there are some errors due to the fact the author is English most seem to be auto correct giving the wrong word. The author needs a better beta to catch the problems as there is something in every chapter. Other then that which is ignorable the author has done a great job.

DragonKin (Harry/Draco)

[The larger dragon seemed made for Aironth and is from the artist Telthona on deviantart. If you object to the picture being used please let me know: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/354/4/f/golden_dragon_by_telthona-d4jpvyo.jpg]

{The smaller dragon I thought was perfect for Harry's form and is from this website even though I translated the page to english I am still not sure who did the picture or the original language now that I think about it: http://prospectro.ru/uploads/images/0/2/7/4/371/9d7ab09af5.jpg}

DragonKin by Fyreheart
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5475405/1/DragonKin

Great story where an ancient race that had allied with the Potter family decided to check in on the current generation and was not happy with what they found. The story begins with Harry disappearing from the Dursley. When he comes back there are obvious changes the most import is that he is carrying around some extra personalities in his mind. Then things get even weirder with Draco deciding that Harry is his mate. There is no slash in this story even though they are mates. The final confrontation is wonderful and the reaction to Harry's adopted father is funny.

The following quote is directly from the author and explains why I am posting this on both sites:
"This story was not marked as slash and contained little physical contact as the relationship was about a straight Harry and a pansexual Draco who had to work through the years of animosity to build a gradual friendship and then a long-term partnership. Anything else would come later…do I hear a sequel in the making?"
I do hope that the author decides to do a sequel it should be interesting.

Harry Potter and the Descent Into Darkness (Voldemort/Harry)

Harry Potter and Descent into Darkness by Aya Macchiato
http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095391

Harry Potter and The Breeding Darkness by Danyeallesama
http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600095379&chapter=1

Awesome story I do love Harry grows a backbone story and the connection with Riddle is so open to interpretation. In this Harry has no support when his name is pulled and in the process of trying to calm himself he retreats to his mind where he finds that his magic has placed a large barrier against something. Upon pulling down the barricade he realizes that the darkness does not have to be feared. He also finds out that over the years he has been using a lot of magic on a daily basis for the blockade and now that magic is accessible to him. He slowly realizes that he is not a light wizard and the there is more to Moody then he thought. He confronts the deatheator in disguise and asks to be taken to Voldemort. The first story shows Harry's trip to being a dark wizard and his alliance and help in restoring Voldemort. In the second story the relationship between the two really begin as they start to gather allies. Harry's character grows with the story he is strong, mature and ready to seek revenge on those that betrayed him and stand at the side of the only one who can match him. The story is by two different authors but definitely worth the read.

The Way We Were (Kakashi/Iruka)

Picture from this site not sure about artist if you know please tell me I just thought it was perfect for this fic: http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/kakashi-x-iruka/images/21304681/title/kakashi-iruka-photo The Kanji are from a website and I hope mean Love, Faith and Hope

The Way We Were by Erithil
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3324231/1/The-Way-We-Were

Great, great story that is both heartwrenching and hopeful. Kakashi and Iruka are together and have been for 6 months when Iruka finds that he needs surgery for a brain tumor. Due to the surgery he loses a years worth of memory unfortunately that includes Kakashi. Iruka refuses to believe Kakashi when he tells him since no one else knew. Kakashi vows to win him again. This is where it gets heart breaking because there is nothing worse then having the one you love look at you with no recognition. Maybe this just hit me so hard because I recently lost my mother to dementia and there is nothing that can hurt you more then have a loved one look at you like a stranger. Kakashi tries his best and there are several twist just when you think they are going to work something out. Iruka is at a disadvantage because he feels that Kakashi will never accept him because he is not the man he was before. It is a sad tale about love lost, friendship and love gained.

Matyrdom and Paradox (Harry/L)

Martyrdom and Paradox by UchidaKarasu
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5730598/1/Martyrdom-and-Paradox

Great crossover story between Harry Potter and Death Note. Harry is in the wrong place at the right time to run into L while in Japan. He becomes fascinated by the detective to the point where he decides to help him against Light and the shinigami. It turns out that as the Master of Death he is immune to the power of the Deathnote and the shinigami are aware of him. He eventually tells L the truth about the wizarding world and the relationship deepens. Harry is determined to prevent Light from killing L and ropes in Hermione to help.

Curse of Fate (Harry/Lucius)

Curse of Fate by Mistress Nika
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2703901/1/Curse-of-Fate

I try not to reccomend stories that I am sure will never be completed but this is a great story at over 150,000 words and the ending is consistent where most stories would break for a new story anyway. In this story Harry is over 6,000 years old a master vampire unable to die and he is tired. He decides the only way he can die is if he goes back into time before he becomes a vampire and maybe save a few people along the way. One thing to understand is Harry is not exactly sane living that long would make anybody a little strange. He decides the only way to take control of his life is to become a Dark Lord at the age of 8. He begins by tricking Lucius Malfoy into believing he is Voldemort in Harry's body and it just goes crazy from there. The story is funny with a definite dark edge and I hope someday the author goes back to it or puts it up for adoption for someone to finish because there is a lot of potential there.

Twilight Time (Spike/xander)

Twilight Time by Shadow
http://shadowsalcove.ravenshadow.net/satwilight.htm
Bannery by green

Great story in which snarky Spike comes across a hurt Xander and decides to take care of him. More because he is bored and lonely then any real desire to save him. Slowly he comes to realize just what treasure he has and begins to sneakily make him his consort. There are some twists and turns and Buffy proves how much of an idiot she can be before there is a happy ending. The buildup sex scenes are very good, the one with the knife is awesomely hot. I like the characterization of Angel in this one. He shows that he still cares about his Childe something that Spike badly needs.

Family Bonds (Spike/Xander NC-17)

Family Bonds by Kimalis
http://spanderfiles.com/arvs/kimalis/familybonds.html
Banner done by author's son

Awesome story one that I read some time ago and lately found. I have been saying that alot lately haven't I. I am going through old files and sorting them and this is one of the stories I downloaded. In this story Xander and Spike are brought together when Xander is finally fed up with Buffy's behavior. They realize fairly quickly that something is going on that something turns out to be an old spell that is flaring up. There is action galore, very descriptive and very hot sex scenes and very complicated relationships among the Scoobies and family. I like the way the relationship develops between Spike and Xander and it shows both sides to a relationship good and bad. There is no instant fix and Xander's reaction to his possible immortality is heartbreaking. The reason for the spell is almost as bad but the ending is great and the story is worth rereading.

Upon A Fiery Steed (Gundam Wing/SG1 crossover)

Upon a Fiery Steed by Vathara
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1792282/1/Upon-A-Fiery-Steed

Great, great story one that I had forgotten about but stumbled upon today. It is a cross between Gundam Wing and SG1. one of the things I like about this story is that the two worlds are merged seamlessly something a lot of stories strive for but do not always succeed at. Daniel is kidnapped (no surprise there) and ends up escaping with a fellow prisoner Duo Maxwell. The story moves quickly and what they do to the Tokra is hilarious. It is only mild yaoi with the usual pairings Heero/Duo, Quatre/Trowa, Wufei/Sally. An enjoyable read and a relatively new take on the guys of Gundam Wing.

Macavity (Gibbs/Dinozzo, Clint/Phil)

Macavity by Lady Ra
http://archiveofourown.org/series/49315

Great story with an unusual premise, Tony at the age of 40 comes into a strange inheritance. He can communicate with animals once bitten by a representative of that species. Just call him Dr. Doolittle. The twist is that Lady Ra shows the down side of communicating with animals and the dark side of his gift. If it was not for Gibbs and his team Tony would have lost his mind and joined other family members in madness or death. The reactions of the intelligence community is predictable, the chance to have someone who could send in everyday common animals to learn secrets of everyone is worth anything even kidnapping. The scenes where they come after Tony are hilarious and exciting. Clint's reaction to the animals is funny while Coulson just takes it in stride. The second story is a little darker and shows once again how their are two sides to every gift.

Building the Future (Clark/Lex)

Building the Future by Lady Ra
http://archiveofourown.org/works/507585?view_full_work=true

Great story one that combines some of my favorite characters. In this one Clark is his usual not paying attention to who is watching and this time he will pay the price. Two characters are killed right off the bat it is amazing what one change can do. With Clark unaware of what is happening, Lana and Luthor are killed in the tornado setting off a series of events. Clark is kidnapped and will auctioned off by a group that specializes in unusual and highly illegal auctions for the very rich.  Luckily Tony Dinozzo is visiting his cousin Martha and agrees that Lex is the best chance that Clark has of getting free. They all work together adding Jethro who comes looking for Tony and Bruce Wayne. Jonathon Kent is an ass before, during and after the kidnapping not wanting to accept responsibility for his own actions. I have always felt that 1/2 the reason Lex goes bad is the behavior of Jonathon Kent. Great story, believable characters and some kickass action scenes. Lex goes above and beyond to prove his loyalty to Clark, a loyalty that Clark returns. Tony finds a place to belong and cause to believe in, Jethro finds that he needs more then work in order to live and Martha finds that she is ready to step up and believe in others to help Clark become all that he can be.

The Rise of the Drackens (Harry/Blaise/Draco/OC/OC)

The Rise of the Drackens by Starlight_Massacre
http://archiveofourown.org/works/384548/chapters/629550

Excellent story, I have to admit I love creature Harry and this one is a beauty. I have read a couple of other dracken stories one I could not get past the first chapter and the other I read some but I did not like the characterization and it just did not keep my attention. This one starts out like most stories where Harry wakes up with a surprise but then it begins to get interesting. Once he realizes what is happening the Potter luck kicks in. There is drama, death, misunderstanding, prejudice and that only in the first few chapters. It is an amazing story with a realistic look at teenage pregnancies, making compromises in relationships, how friendships can break and new ones can be born. Getting pregnant is easy, raising babies is not even when your a powerful wizard with four mates. Watch has Harry takes on the challenge of mates of different ages, children lots of children, in-laws you love and mother-in-laws from hell, learning to trust others and most of all learning that it is okay to be happy. Oh and lets not forget the hot sex scenes and I do mean hot.

Pearls for Pork (Tony/Steve/Clint/Thor/Bruce/Hulk)

Pearls for Pork by Renai_chan
http://archiveofourown.org/works/341658?view_adult=true

A one shot PWP that is not only hot it is super hot. Tony finally coughs up a fantasy wherein he was fucked by every male member of the team sometimes two at a time only he slips and says "the five of you" and they finally pin him down to admit he wants both sides of Bruce. Steve decides that he wants Tony and he and the others want to make the fantasy come true. It is done well and the scene with the Hulk is amazing and done beautifully and carefully and makes a story worth reading again and again.
