    I also like this small "truth serum is not a silver bullet" additional oneshot.

    I love Rorsch but I simply hate how he writes Luna...


    EDIT:


    So two fics. It's AU with Nevile as the BWL and we still don't know what happened to Harrys parents, yet he still lives with the Dursley and they "abuse" him. he has scars and such. It's short and kinda nice and Dumbledore as a dick is written good. 3/5

    That among other things makes me think that if we had an "almost almost recommended" thread, it would be perfect for it.

    An okay time waster.

    This story has some wonderfully written magical rituals. Conceptually nothing's terribly original, but everything involving magic has a distinctive style that I enjoyed reading.

    Sadly everything else is decent at best, and there's definitely some dumb parts.

    I tried to read this once, but the whole thing with the tattoos at the start struck me as so fucking stupid I couldn't continue.

    Shit reads like a world building exercise gone out of control. Characters are flat and plot reads like Swiss cheese.

    New rule: if you have to tell the reader it's sophisticated, it's not sophisticated.

    I originally read gang tits. I'm likely to agree, but have no idea what gang tits are.

    I was extremely sceptical at first but the story is not bad!
    Even the tattoo is not a sign for this typical gang-idiot-angst-orgy-thing. Until now, most of it is world-building, rituals, etc. Fun to read if a bit of a guilty pleasure...
    4/5, I'd say!

    Why can't I stop imagining Kara "Kent" and many of her alternate versions having a five-way with Harry?
