    This one is more of a guilty pleasure. The romance is saccharine sweet fluff. There are definitely crackish elements to it. And it's more smart!Harry than it is powerful!Harry.

    Still, it's reasonably fun, complete and contained, and it lands its ending.

    3.5/5, rounded up to 4.

    Found this randomly browsing FFN. It's a lot of fun. Definitely doesn't take itself too seriously, and the humor is my type, not overwhelming or over-the-top, there's a lot of cleverness and callbacks to itself. And the plot keeps moving along at a nice pace too, doesn't overstay it's welcome and I do like subversion of the usual powerful!Harry trope to win the triwizard. It's an easy read, and there wasn't actually anything I didn't like about it. In fact, this might be the best fic I've read all year. 5/5 from me.

    I enjoy it when Sirius and Kreacher are being conniving reprobates together.

    Just stop, we're not going to beat this:

    As an aside, it's infinitely more crack-y, but I enjoy the author's robot!Daphne girlfriend fic immensely as well.
