    Thanks guys! Much halp, very appreciated! Of the fics mentioned, I read The Apprentice, A Butterfly Effect and am midway through To Fight the Coming Darkness. Heard of Abraxan's fics, they're on my to-read-in-case-of-emergency list, but I heard it's veeeery old and the things it does are clichés by now?
    About The Lie I've Lived... again, heard of it, but people said it wasn't Harry/Fleur so much as James/Fleur? As I understand it, that Harry is a mix between canon!Harry and James? Sounds dodgy.
    Anyway, I found a few unknowns, hoping they'll be good, keep the goodness coming please! And thank You all! :)

    If you enjoyed Delenda Est, you should read Harry Potter and the Turning of the Sun soon.

    I am a bit of a sucker for good romance stories. I've been hunting down this mysterious "Long, quality" romance for some time, but I hadn't been able to find a perfect one. Delenda Est is the one that I've enjoyed the most.

    Fixed that for you.

    Edit: Is something wrong? Can't quote/multiquote and this looks weird...

    What's wrong for you? I can quote/multiquote just fine.

    If there is something wrong it could be due to the new add-ons.

    Or perhaps it's just your use of HTML instead of QUOTE.

    Calling Unatoned a romance fic is an interesting definition of romance.

    Ah, I see. And now I can quote normally again. Don't know what it was. Never mind, thanks.

    Not every Romance has to be totally focused on the relationship. Actually a lot more romances would be better if they didn't focus solely on the relationship. And yeah I know Harry/Astoria/Daphne is fubar but who said the relationship had to be healthy?

    Just because there's a relationship doesn't make it a romantic one.

    Eh, I'm more interested in the fact that a fic with rape of the main female interest in it is considered long, quality romance. Sure, I guess technically it could be all of those, but if you're actually trying to get enjoyment from the fic.... well good luck. And I don't mean any offense to Pers as that fic has been the topic of debate every since he posted it, but it's not something I would just recommend to someone who is actively looking for a romance fic.
