    I remember reading a BajaB's fic in which Harry made a magical armour similar to Iron Man's Suit with the ability to fly, super strength and even resist a few killing curses. After watched G.I.Joe recently and liked only the 'Accelerator Suits' part in the whole damn movie. I am now wondering if there are more fics which have used this concept. Of course the fic should be well written and non-slash .Any help would be appreciated.

    Not what I had in mind. I didn't like the story either.

    Summary: Lord Voldemort’s search for more power led him to the myth of the all-powerful grimoire: The Necronomicon. In his quest, he accidentally freed something else entirely. Now, Harry Potter; by a strange twist of fate, came across the very first book of magic created by Magic itself.


    A Iron Man/HP Crossover. It is a companion piece to a Iron Man/Buffy Cross, but you don't need to know anything about the other... at least at this point.

    It's fairly decent. In other words it doesn't suck too bad since it's a crossover with Iron Man.

    Only about 10k words.

    The only state that doesn't suck.
    I dunno Heather, this seems pretty shitty.

    Iron Man/HP Crossover = Pretty Shitty

    What I said was that it "didn't suck too badly."

    Meaning that it still sucked, but there wasn't chrome and bumpers involved. I've seen much much worse in this genre. This would be somewhere in the middle. Maybe IM/HP has caused my standards to fall even further in the crapper.

    That well-written stipulation makes it hard to find anything worth recommending.

    Here's one I enjoyed and has some very interesting ideas but didn't quite go where I wanted it to, or address the interesting ideas in ways I'd have liked. There's some obvious minuses that may be enough to make you drop it but on the plus side it is complete, which is more than most fics can claim.

    Fair warning: One of those minuses is that you will hate Hermione and Gabrielle, the only two women who appear prominently in the fic, by the end of the story.

    They spend the entire fic either bitching at Harry because he's actually accomplishing shit, or slapping him in the face for no reason in a very unfunny way. Mostly they slap him.

    For instance, they have just recently found out that Harry only has a month or so to live, at best, his home/business headquarters/research facility has just been invaded, resulting in the deaths of seventeen of his employees, the destruction of a vital part of the facility, the theft of a bunch of dangerous weapon prototypes along with the documentation on how to use them and make more, and he's forced to evacuate everyone to a B-site.

    Gabrielle and Hermione swoop in and take all of the prisoners he managed to capture during the attack to the Ministry... which sets off a suicide charm that kills all of the prisoners, preventing Harry from finding out anything except that Malfoy was involved, which a brain-dead chimp could have figured out anyway.

    What is the girls' immediate response to this monumental bunch of horrible shit Harry has to endure? That's right, they hit him, berate him, and generally blame him for everything. What a spectacular pair of uber bitches. I'm honestly surprised they didn't just haul off and kick him in the balls while they were at it.

    The fight scenes also suck, big time. Whenever the iron man type suit is in combat, the person inside it just stands around asking the 'computer' for information while he is pounded from all sides like the new bitch on the cell block. Seriously, it's nothing like iron man, it's more like some poor schmuck in a suit of armor asking his imaginary friend for directions while a street gang fires on him from all sides. It's both sad and ridiculous.
    Also, while the story is nominally finished, the author did say that he didn't bother doing the planned epilogue because of 'RL', and that it was being left for the beginning of the sequel (if one ever gets made). So, in that respect, the story was actually never completed.

    The author has other HP/super hero crossovers that I haven't read.

    I'm fairly sure the OP's talking about the one-shot where Harry convinces Moody to Imperius him for the purpose of training and whatnot, but I can't remember the title or author >.<
