    I was looking for a good fic, similar to Santi's Boy-Who-Lived, but everywhere I look, I get stuff that makes my eyes bleed.

    To be honest, I don't mind if it's not like Santi's, but anything that is good, and not like something I would be forced to read as a form of torture would be excellent.

    He's trolling you. There are very few good fics where Harry's parents are alive, twin-who-lived or not. In fact, I haven't found any others, and I've looked.

    Damn. Ah well. Maybe some day, someone will get up and say 'hey, I can write, why not put it to use?', and we'll all be happy, and eat bubblegum pie.

    Awaken Sleeper is a crossover that is nothing like Santi's story, but Lily and James are alive.

    The second in Joe's Hero trilogy was quite decent for its time. Harry pops out in a dimension where his folks are alive.

    Nonjon's You Did What? is another.

    Lily Potter and the Worst Holiday by bobsaqqara is readable for a four chapter story, another dimension-hopping story. (I prefer my Harmony in small doses, possibly because Portkey.org rejected my application to join their site as an author. Twice).

    Oedipus Flower is not like Santi's, but Harry's parents are alive, though James dies in second chapter.

    The Sun Dog also features alive James and Lily, and dimension-hopping Harry.

    Sacrifices honestly has a fairly average Lily. Same old, same old. James is better, to be honest. As is pretty much every other character.

    Good show people. But let's be honest. I don't care much for slash, so if any more is There, I don't want it.

    Somehow I knew there would be this kind of response to that.
