    I consider the stories in this series as some of the best ever written fanfics that I have read. Although the pairing (Harry/Hermione) may sound sappy, I can assure you that Nedved doesn't deal with the fluff of it. Legacies: The Solidus Charm and Legacies: The Grim, the first and fourth in the series respectively, are Completed while Legacies: The Halo of Life and Legacies: The Sword of Gryffindor are Works in Progress (they are actually complete but were deleted from the site so Nedved had to rewrite and repost them). You could still read Legacies: The Grim without reading the previous installments but there are some holes that need filling if you haven't read them. He is currently working on his fifth and final installment Legacies: Brothers in Blood (Chapter 1 is complete and just needs to be approved).

    Title: Legacies: Brothers in Blood
    Author: The Dark Lord Nedved
    Rating: Mature
    Genre: Romance, Action, General
    Pairing: Harry/Hermione, Draco/OC, Harry/OC, Ron/OC
    Status: Work In Progress
    Summary: Continues from 'Legacies: The Grim' .Even after the fall of the Dark Lord Voldemort, the wizard world knew no rest as war still raged on with the emergence of the heralded Dark Sons of Magic. An era of bloodhsed ensued as both factions fought for supremecy, neither emerging as a true victor after a decade of war. When open conflict dwindled down over the years, peace once again settled in the hearts and minds of wizardkind and Hogwarts was restored to its previous grandeur. All is well until a young wizard is targeted, and as a consequence, shadowy figures re-emerge from the darkness to finish a battle that was prophesized since the days of the founders. This is the saga of three young wizards who unwittingly weild the power to change the future, a power that could only be forged by the unseparable bond between Brothers In Blood.

    Inside YOUR closet. Go check.
    Please post properly.

    I understand that you are eager to promote the work (presumably yours) but its just not concise or clear

    I've read the first couple of these. Kinda surprised they haven't been added before. Some pretty good action and battle sequences I remember mainly. Nifty super!powering and not a horrific amount of romance.

    Too much supering of the blonde ponce drove me away. Or rather got irritating enough that I didn't want to read the rest. Hero!Draco is even as bad as Hero!Snape which pretty much rank about as interesting for me to read as slash. In that, to maintain my interest you pretty much have to have something beyond fantastic.

    Still an impressive series, I suspect several here would really like it.

    Really? I read the first 15 chapters of the first installment and got bored... Harry is a whimp... ok, he has the solidus thing, but come on.. Once he finds out Hermione has been supporting his occlumency and DD has been hiding such a thing from him, he should have gone mental..i would have...

    I only got that far and needed a cigarette and then couldnt be arsed to continue... But i will... since you believe it might go down well...

    If you got bored with Solidus then I suggest you go right ahead and read Grim cause its a bit fast paced.

    No,I am still firmly in the belief that J.k Rowling did NOT right :hbp;but I do believe she hired a ghostwriter(rabid teenage fangirl) and thus you have that green book sitting on your shelf gathering dust.

    Gin-Gin and the chest monster never happened....neither did won-won and pmsing hermione.....oh and pussy harry.....and draco........really the whole fucking book was a joke

    In that thing you call a closet. Better watch out,
    Don't ignore the story just because of a pairing. Also, who care's if it's canon the reason we have fanfiction is so it's NOT an exact copy of the book and we can have different pairings.

    there are a lot of ways to look at HBP

    In the beginning, when i first read it, I thought it terrible, the only decent part of it being the horcruxes. Now though, I'm not so sure...

    I know i'll get blasted with hate on this site for saying this but...

    1. We all know harry is pretty powerful

    2. After being nurtured :lol: for by the Dursley's, Harry's emotions are exactly norm. (plus JKR is a woman meaning she's writing from a woman's view on how one would react to that news)

    3. He may have a chance...


    You know what, who am i kidding? That book sucked.

    Too true, too true


    But still, all fanfiction is rooted in canon, so i'm okay with some carried over stuff... Although i find myself far more attracted to AU nowadays...

    Hey take it easy... I'm a muggle... err squib

    I liked it. That's my most basic review.
    I may not like Draco, but I would rather have him superpowered than boning Harry. Seriously, just by not having slash this fic beats out hundreds of other fics I've seen that are similar to it.
    I liked the superpower idea NedVed had with the Solidus Charm thing. It takes a while to get moving, but eventually the power kicks in and Harry swings his sword around in some nice action.
    I can't say I care that it's H/Hr, as I'm a fan of any pairing that doesn't involve slash.

    Yea, I probably would have too, but I dunno, I've read so many fics where Harry flips out that I liked that Harry didn't in this one. It was a little different. Just a little, not unique, just a little different.
    I'd recomend people to give it a try at least. If they like it, they've got a nice long read, if they don't, well, you really didn't need those 15 minutes did you?

    Sorry for double posting but it was almost a week ago since my last post.

    the pairing suck's A Hero Draco and Lack of Ron bashing , and a weapon wielding hermione ? pffff....

    Halo 16 is up along with Brothers in Blood 2.

    Anyway, to Anarual: You obviously haven't read it cause you mentioned Hero Draco and weapon-wielding Hermione. If you read it, you'd find out eventually that Draco's no good guy and Hermione holds no weapon except her own wand. So just piss off.

    While I was still relatively new to the fandom I tried reading this series, and I didn't really like it that much. Nothing personal or anything, it just didn't appeal to me.
