Recommended FanFiction

Now that the series is over we fans need new reading material, and it's always nice when someone recommends something because it has their seal of approval. Here are the fanfics that I would recommend for other Potter fans. Among them are some of them are my all time favourites.

Note that the story summaries were written by the author, not me. Please also take note of ratings and the fact that some stories contain slash (male/male relationships). The stars were assigned by myself according to how much I liked them. Fics rated higher than PG-13 are on a separate page, the link to which is at the bottom of this page.
