    I think it's good enough for the library - I'll put it up for review.

    Wow, that was unexpected. That said, the author's pic is great.

    Oh, a story for NoxedSalvation :). That aside, the story was different, and that is all I have to say about it.

    30H is pretty much the greatest story ever written, and every story that follows in its vein is worth reading.

    Title: Patchwork Wishes
    Author: DracaDelirus
    Pairing: None
    Rating: K+
    Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4736622/1/Patchwork-Wishes
    Story Summary: AU Harry Potter's Holidays: Little Harry wants his Christmas wish to come true this year. Maybe if he makes his own lucky angel it will. But can his luck hold out for the rest of the holidays? Maybe if he wishes very hard...

    This story is extremely sappy, could and should have been much shorter, and has a stupid ending. That being said, it has excellent grammar, is smooth, and at times even funny.

    Rated 6.5/10 because of its ending and unnecessary length.

    Title: To the Waters and the Wild
    Author: Paimpont
    Pairing: Slash like most of her other stories
    Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7985679/1/To-the-Waters-and-the-Wild
    Summary: While flying back from Godric's Hollow, Hagrid accidentally drops baby Harry over a wild forest. Harry is raised by rebel fairies until his Hogwarts letter arrives.

    It's the poor man's version of "Fantastic Elves and Where to Find Them". She also wrote "The Strange Disappearance of Sally-Anne Perks".

    Not so sure about the new one, but The Strange Disappearance of Sally-Anne Perks was a quite well written piece of mystery.

    I considered checking whatever it is readable but I encountered the second part of the description: "The Dark Lord is in for a surprise... HP/LV romance. SLASH.".

    What's a better way to avenge the murder of your parents than fucking the guy that did it?

    I know I saw it linked somewhere on DLP, but I can't seem to find it again. It's also not listed here, so apparently it hasn't been posted in this thread.

    Yes, I am Harry's Brother: Five years after his defeat the shade of Voldemort visits Harry Potter, and has a slight accident with one of his Horcruxes. The Dark Lord wanted a new body, but this isn't what he had in mind.

    No slash. Well, unless you count the implications that...
    Daphne Potter, Harry's wife, and Fleur Delacour, his mistress, are just as much in love with each other as they are with Harry. Though that didn't come up til the last chapter.
    They're kids, 11-13 or so, for the vast majority of the story. Not that that stops them looking at older girls.

    I started off a bit slow, but I read Chapters 3-25 in one sitting. The writing is mediocre, but there were some original ideas in there. Stuff I haven't quite seen before. I also enjoyed Voldemort's character -- he's both clearly Voldemort but also clearly not the same Voldemort. He happily murders people left and right whenever it's convenient for him, he's manipulative and bright, etc. But he's also noticing that he seems to feel things for the first time, etc. And he still intends to live forever and enjoy the hell out of having power... just he goes about it differently.

    It's also complete at around 75k. I don't see it making it into the library, but it's one of the better non-DLP fics I've run across in months.

    That fic turned out to be more serious than I expected after Voldemort and Harry started playing Let it Be in one of the earlier chapters.

    Lol. That Author Ynyr writes stories with the lulziest of themes. But then its like he/she makes an effort to make all their stories decidedly average in quality.

    Take for example, this story (HP/DF Crossover). I lulzed so hard when I read the Hermione/Kreacher Soul-Bond stuff in it. That shit was cash.
    This fic is also weird enough to give fans of either fandoms apoplexy regarding several points in the fic.
    The writing though, is ridiculously flat. So many genuinely shock-able moments wasted with the monotonous writing, it starts to look funny even.

    @CheddarTrek.

    I've read that fic before.

    While it has many interesting ideas and I'm always up for fics in which Voldemort is a protagonist, what made it uncomfortable for me is when he and Harry
    for no reason started playing muggle guitars. WHY?!

    That writer is on my psychopath list. All his story have characters with no empathy in common and I don't think it's just a lack of skill. That's how he perceives people and it just feels so completely alien.
