    Does anybody know of some decent Post-DH fics? Harry-focused.

    I've read 100,000 Sons and Lost Time and found them enjoyable but I can't seem to find many others, or if I do they are Harry went up and kissed Ginny, they made lots of babies called James, Lily and Albus Severus, etc...

    Thanks.

    Coming Back Late (H/Hr)
    Fictional (F/sn crossover)
    The Golden Age (Your Mileage May Vary - a lot)

    Agreed on Coming Back Late and The Golden Age. In a similar vein, I will recommend The Sacrifice and its lengthy sequel The Keeper (WIP - near completion) by B.B.Ruth, as well as Unlike a Sister (WIP - early days). Those three are all H/Hr, and are decidedly not about Harry and Ginny having a blissful marriage.

    Hallow and Pathos by Pers is exceptional.

    Heck, Why don't I throw in Heart of Stone, too. Oneshot, but hey.

    That's all I can think of without including any time-travelling or dimension-hopping, but I'm sure there are a lot more.

    Yeah, I excluded a bunch of timetravel fics as well.

    If we're going for one-shots, Cauterize is a must-read if you haven't already.

    @Lord Anarchy: I'm actually curious if the trilogy is worth reading. It seems massively unpopular (a third of a review per 1k words in the first one, less than that for the rest). I mean yeah, you have similar figures for Joe's Hero trilogy, but those were published all at once and presumably didn't have time to build up a following.

    @Death-Gate Trilogy: Best Mystery I've read. Also Horror à la The Ring, especially in the second part, if you're into that. Top notch writing and plotting, the most underappreciated stories of all time.

    @OP: My stuff, if you don't mind WIP; but since you had two in your OP ... ;)

    I think I now know how many tiles make up the floors of the Ministry, and which ones need a good scrubbing.

    I'm not surprised some people would like this story, but between the Ginny POV, the way she's portrayed, the writer screaming in your face that something fishy is going on, the heaps and HEAPS of unnecessary details, Harry missing (sorry, I like Harry as the protagonist) and the daunting length of the trilogy, I had to abandon it.

    Perhaps some of you will have better luck.

    I've been reccing the trilogy for awhile now, and everyone who tries it always complains about the Ginny pov in the beginning, but it is Harry centric for ~90% of the story, he just has to be found first. The whole plot revolves around the society that Harry disappeared into.

    Just finished reading Someone to Love by The Ferryman. Found it to be rather well written, though not perfect. 4/5 material, potentially.

    It's a very long-winded post-DH fic that, according to the summary, will eventually be Honks. That certainly looks a long way off, and the 100k words written so far cover barely the first week, so this could end up being huge.

    Update rate, however, looks to be slow. Seriously - 7 chapters in 18 months slow.
