    No, I've most certainly seen a fic where Remus can smell 'his mate' and gets a protective urge from it.

    ---------- Post automerged at 21:33 ---------- Previous post was at 21:31 ----------

    I just Googled trying to find it. Instead a found a fic where Malfoy is a vampire and can smell Harry as his mate.

    I think I'll go throw up now.

    Another good Soul Bond Fic is The Amplitude, Frequency, and Resistance of the Soul Bond.

    The entire Fic does everything it can to Deconstruct every aspect of the Soul Bond. Harry and Ginny don't immediately love each other, and spend a lot of time hating each other. They don't get Super-Magic, and their schoolwork actually suffers from sharing minds with someone else. It is perfectly willing to mess with Canonical events. There is absolutely no rule regarding when they can or cannot have sex (dealt with in a funny, effective way). It actually explores what it's like for a teenage boy and a teenage girl to share minds (Harry thinking about bewbs, Ginny having her period). And it not only doesn't Bash Dumbledore, it made him a surprisingly hilarious character (not to mention coming up with a surprisingly original explanation what the hell his various instruments do).

    The summary alone would have been enough to warrant not clicking on this fic.

    The Elder Wand being similar to a normal wand, but just better in every way. I liked the interpretation where the Elder Wand was powerful yes, but was always lusting for battle and was best suited for less delicate magic.

    Which is according to the horseshit, since e.g. Harry Potter repaired his first wand with it, a feat though tot be impossible with a normal wand.

    Liberal use of veritaserum. I mean, there is a reason giving to someone something that makes them tell the truth to whatever they ask you is illegal or heavily controlled. I assume that at some point authorities abused this and now not only do you need exceptional circumstances for it to be used but what can be asked is very regulated. Yet in some fics it is used to convince people in normal dealings.

    So this is ignoring most/all magic Albus Dumbledore performed in canon?

    Irish school of magic, because Lily is irish
    Dumbledores machimations
    Dumbledores dementia
    A more "scientific" approach to magic being required
    Auto updating family tree
    Making his wife/girlfriend/soulmate/ect a witch coz magic
    OP Lily, she is a charms prodigy and great at potions, this does not mean mastery in only 4 years, it should take at least a decade
    This chapter
    Voldemort is french, Vol de mort and means flight from/of death, he is still a dark lord and amongst the most powerful wizards in the world, nobody is going to mock him
    soul magic used to annihilate voldemort
    "silly" magical superstitions
    this

    Is that really widespread enough to be dragged down to a pet peeve?
    Other than the one from the canon? :D :nyan:
    Don't knock "Sufficiently Analyzed Magic"! At least not the well-written one, which is rare.
    What's it about?
    Mocking is possible, but staying alive and untortured afterwards is rather unlikely. A funny nickname'd be "Vold de merde" (flight of shit).
    Why not, after all, Voldemort did dig up a method of haxxor-ing his soul to stay on This Side, right, why not finding something to effect the opposite.
    Why should wizards free of what plagues any kind of society, no matter how advanced (and the wizards are kinda backwards in a few things)?!
    Don't you like Harry being a squib?

    You must hate canon.
    Always lusting after battle, yes. Bad at delicate magic? Fuck no.
    The elder wand is said to be capable of performing feats of magic no modern wand can. We don't see many of these in canon, but we know it can repair other wands. I see no reason why it can't do subtle to.
    Of course the wand isn't the best at everything, and it certainly has its flaws. But it is, in general, a superior wand to even the ones Olivander makes, and Dumbledore gladly trades his old wand away. Harry, on the other hand, preferred his own wand, though must at least admit repairing it would have been impossible without the elder.
    One day wandlore will advance to the point that the elder wand is merely a flawed relic of the past. But they have not reached that point yet, and though they are advancing, are far from it.

    That fucking annoying cop-out ending where someone who loves Harry kisses his scar and it kills Voldemort.
    Without fail it pisses me off.

    Oh, and also whenever Harry's emotions get ao strong they affect Voldemort, a master occlumens

    Actually, most fanon about the scar connection pisses me off.

    I think I saw it in a soul bond fic once. It rings a bell.
