    Honestly? That one sounds more like it's a HP/HG/LL pairing (Is that the right word when it's 3 or mroe people?). What do they call it, Lunar Harmony or something?

    It's so abrupt and to the point. I love it.

    They call it a "Harmonious Lunar Eclipse."

    Holy Crap, that sounds like a My Little Pony character.

    I deny it.

    It must be a gift to be able to write that much about absolutely nothing.

    To be fair, it shows quite a lot of dedication to be able to write that much with only one review and no favourites. And considering that one review was
    I doubt that was the reason for her continued writing.

    The use of dedications seems a bit pretentious but they were actually written pretty well. The story itself had far too much dialogue and not enough descriptions but this isn't a review so I'll stop there.

    "There is no such thing as magic," Uncle Vernon had said. But there is. There's gotta be... AU/Child Abuse/Mental Abuse/Torture/Starvation/Phycological Torture/Strong Violence/Descriptive. Summer before fifth, Vernon manages to convince Harry that Hogwarts has been a fantasy invented by him, as an abused child seeking mental refuge from his tormentors. How? Why? What happens next?

    Voldemort Kisses by lastcrazyhorn
    Dub-Con. One-shot. Voldemort didn't use his tongue when kissing, Harry noticed right away. When asked about it, the other man grimaced and told him that he thought the act was unsanitary. Bottom!Voldemort, Creature Inheritance

    Voldemort's Thinspo by ConantheBarbarian'sgirl
    Voldemort and Harry are in a race to death. Thinspo is their secret weapon! But somebody must stop it before they take the whole wizarding world down with their madness! Anorexic!Voldemort. Anorexic!Master of Thinspo!Harry. Weight Watchers!Lucius. Heartthrob!Dolohov. Hashtag 'open up the train is coming! choo-choo'

    A/N:
    This story explores the idea of Hogwarts as a fantasy invented by Harry, as an abused child seeking mental refuge from his tormentors.
    While it is not actually true in this plot line (writing that would wreak havoc on my childhood, leaving naught but smoking, charred remains behind), I do think that Harry, having grown up with the Dursleys and having been called a freak, abnormal, and unfixable on a daily basis, could be easily made to think that it's true, doubting his own sanity. I thought this is an interesting concept, and thus jotted it down for your enjoyment…
    The story is literal and descriptive. Please be warned. It includes physical abuse, and it attempts to include mental abuse as well. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end: not just a list of abuses, and in the future other characters from the series will make an appearance, to attempt and fix what has been torn down. Comments are always welcome. I hope you enjoy.

    Sirius bonds with the most recent member of the Black family to be disowned. Unrequited WolfStar. There was no war, so Lily, James, and Regulus (among others) survived. Original Characters. WARNING: rape mention. Modern-AU, no war-AU I, of course, own nothing that you recognize from the HP Universe - all characters, places, and spells belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling.
    Rated: T - English - Family - Chapters: 13 - Words: 17,334 - Reviews: 10 - Favs: 16 - Follows: 25 - Updated: 4h ago - Published: Jul 30 - Harry P., Sirius B., Remus L., OC

    It's not that this summary was bad as in poorly written, but it was the first time I've ever seen Sirius/Remus's shipping name.

    Wolfstar.

    Fuck. Who names those things?

    Edit:

    Harry starts to have weird feelings in his heart. Whenever he's around Draco he feels like he's walking on air, but he doesn't know what these feelings mean. When he and Draco are paired together on a potions project, they learn more about each other. Draco is the beautiful angel of darkness, and Harry's just a nobody... will he be noticed? drarry MXM dont like do not read kthnx
    Rated: M - English - Romance - Chapters: 1 - Words: 250 - Reviews: 2 - Published: 7h ago - [Harry P., Draco M.]

    Liberty of expression leads to so many wonderful things, but it can also lead to these.

    Sent away when he was young, the person who was Harry Potter returns as a cold, hard man. Neither light nor dark, he has contacts on both sides of the war, but refuses to participate. Until he lays eyes on Sirius Black.

    Of course Harry's a nobody, no one ever notices the biggest celebrity in Wizarding Britain, famous enough that people look for his scar as he walks past them. He definitely isn't the closest Wizarding equivalent to Jesus Christ. He isn't well known enough to be deliberately targeted in the tabloids. He isn't rich and handsome and skilled. His character in this story certainly isn't just a little girl projecting her insecurity on a fictional character.

    Markus Ragnos?

    Is the author talking about Marka Ragnos from Star Wars?

    No, I did not wonder, because that isn't what happened in canon. Death Eaters murdered and tortured many purebloods, and we were explicitly told that Aurors used Unforgivables against Death Eaters.

    I bet Ron is in on the conspiracy in this story as well.

    Oh yeah, he and Ginny abandon Harry in the first chapter, deciding he's too dangerous to be around.

    It's a pretty standard indy!Harry summer after 5th year story which starts with the bog-standard letter from Sirius telling him about the conspiracy and the moustache twirling Dumbledore.

    Oh, and Sirius was apparently an Unspeakable.

    Blood, Sex & Magick by UnknownEnigma98 reviews
    Haraldas Addams had always got what he wanted regardless if permission was given or not, so when his intended decides to leave him due to his recent 'transgressions' he makes it his job to bring Kingsley back to him and bring him to his knees. The after affect of leaving Britain quaking is just the added bonus to him. Harry/Kingsley Cousin What/Viktor (minor X-Over Hannibal)
