    I've totally blanked on the name of this fic and any help would be appreciated.

    I think it was a one-shot, where all of Harry's wands start dying after he touched the Elder Wand. I think he broke into Dumbledores tomb using a whole bunch of different wands.

    I'm pretty sure Pers or maybe Nuhuh wrote that. Can't for the life of me remember the name.

    Looking for the story where Harry gets 3 dark wizards consciences during the 4th (I think) year. I think one was obsessed with fire and one was a witch, I don't remember much about it unfortunately.

    Did Newcomb ever wrote a sequel to the Lesser Madness?
    Last line in the author notes in the story indicate he has something planed.

    The Lesser Sadness is incomplete, and it is the first installment. The Lesser Madness has not been written yet.

    Forgotten where to find a Harry Potter story in the style of Dresden Files. Harry was basically for hire for anything, from simple tasks like gnoming a garden to helping Narcissa investigate future daughter-in-law Astoria. He found out Astoria and her sister Daphne were running a private brothel or something. Wasn't that long a story. He hired Pansy Parkinson as an assistant purely for the shits and giggles. Anyone recall?

    Found it. Written by our own soggy syao.

    Dammit that was good story just to be abandoned.

    Disobedience Writer also started a story about clueless about his future Harry, who just stumble from one mess to another, but it appears to be abandoned as well.

    I once read a story about Hermione undergoing some disturbing rituals to become a Dark Lady, including romping with Lupin in werewolf form. If I have not mixed it up with another one, this story ends with a rather intense three-way duel in the DOM among Harry, Hermione, and Voldemort.

    I have tried to search for it using different keyword combinations, but it eludes me. Rings a bell for anyone?

    Thanks in advance.

    Two enjoyable fics featuring alternate worlds where a benevolent Tom Riddle becomes Hogwart's Headmaster are A Stranger In The Promised Land and Altered Destinies.

    EDIT: oops, sorry, I overlooked the "one-shot" requirement. Both are multi-chapter fics and part of unfinished series. Well, I'll leave my answer anyway, maybe you'll like them.

    I have been looking for a Snape fic recently. Its one where Minerva and Poppy help him leave Hogwarts after that 'famous' bullying scene when Albus seems to favor the Gryffindors. Snape decides that he doesn't want to fight anymore so he chooses to knuckle down and focus solely on his work to get a great Potions apprenticeship. There is no Lily/Snape so I am not talking about The Apprentice by Deborah. I can not for the life of me remember what this is called. I am pretty sure its abandoned with a decent length. One of the last scenes is Snape on a beach and he happens to see Voldemort attacking the Potters there. Anyone have any clues?

    There is a scene like the one you mentioned but it's in chapter 2 (of 22).

    Thank You, Chilli! I have been trying to find that for weeks now.

    Edit: this story is a lot worse than my vague memory promised. So much bashing!

    No idea what it's from, and I don't even know if it's fanfiction or not. I've tried searching, but I just get stuff about Jesus. Trying excluding that gives bioshock, then without that gets rap.

    A water spirit (or something) is drowning somebody, who's fighting back. Something happens, and the water spirit says "I was going to give you the raptures,but now..."
