Hi all!

Following some self promotion in my last post it was time to share some other people’s work. One of my favourite WIPs is by Moonpigeon90 and it’s an AU where Sirius is working on clearing his name and getting custody of Harry after POA (Peter doesn’t escape). She’s posting regularly and have a completed canon-compliant long fic of the marauders year 1971-1981.

I’ve started reading a few of these AU Peter doesn’t escape in the past and I’ve always felt the characters are just OOCs. But this one feels very much like we’re following Sirius, Harry, Dumbledore and Remus from the book series.

I’m not sure whether AUs are something people are interested in on this sub but as it so far feels so true to the canon - except the big “what if” - I thought this might be the place most likely to appreciate the story!

Hi guys! I was told by a lovely member of the community to put this here, so I will! 🫣

I am working on a very long canon-compliant marauder era fic from 1971-1981, with very little fanon.

It’s clearly not a story for everyone - and I’ve got a long note at the start explaining what the ambition is. People who like reading canon-compliant Marauder stories do seem to like it! Basically, I desperately needed a long Marauder fic that was truer to the canon characters than I could find. If you’re in the same boat, you might like this one ☺️

I’ve put the link below but honestly just in case this would be of interest!

Okay! Self promotion done and dusted. Gosh! Hope everyone is well and have a weekend they are looking forward to 🥰

When we were up to no good

Hi Everyone,

I've created a new Jily subreddit r/JilyFanfics where the focus is mostly going to be on finding and sharing Jily fanfics.

With that in mind I've created a listing of jily focused fics with different categories - like Muggle AUs, Hogwarts or Post Hogwarts.

I'd love any help I could get making the fic lists a bit longer so it can be helpful to all us Jily shippers!

I see this comment everywhere and I'm so confused by it because Romione fics are consistently top tier?? They're funny and full of heart and growth. What are people seeing that I'm not??

The Mystery in the Attic

Harry is at the Burrow over the summer between his fifth and sixth year, when he discovers that someone is secretly brewing a potion in the attic. Who’s doing it, why the secrecy, and what does the potion do? I won’t spoil it, but it involves subverting some tropes!

Written for the “Summer at the Burrow” challenge over at Sink into Your Eyes. It’s a five chapter fic with about 10k words, but I’m proud of how it turned out. Feel free to check it out!

HP Fanfic Rec: Post-War slice-of-life Harry/Ginny oneshot after they move into their first flat together.

The Night of the Brown Bananas by EveSaintYves

Summary:
Ginny and Harry finally move into their first flat together, but their new life isn't exactly what Ginny imagined. A postwar Harry/Ginny slice of life.

Chapters: 1/1; 2975 words
Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley

Characters: Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Bill Weasley

Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Canon Compliant, Complete, Fluff, Angst, Fluff and Angst, Adulthood, Domestic Fluff, Moving In Together, Coming of Age, Complicated Relationships, Post-Battle of Hogwarts, Grief/Mourning, Moving On, POV Ginny Weasley, Okay Ending, Hurt/Comfort, Family

This fic was so beautifully written and angsty! Ginny's grief was written so well! The vibes of this fic just felt very real and human; in some ways it reminded me of the fic "The Seam Between" (i recommended it in an older post already, I think!). There were some really sweet, fluffy moments between Harry and Ginny that I loved in this oneshot too though! 🥰

Hi everyone! I wanted to post an advertisement for a new series I just started releasing today! It is called Happier Every Day, and the first book in this series is Summer of Recovery!

I love stories that answer the question of what happened after the Battle of Hogwarts, but I also feel like I have a different interpretation of how everyone would’ve moved on with their lives, so I wrote the story I wanted to read. The result is two complete, canon-compliant books that are about 700k words total (I’m wordy and love long fics), telling the story of the first year (and change) after the Battle from both Harry and Ginny’s perspectives. I’m releasing the first four chapters today, covering the first day after the Battle, and then will be releasing a chapter every Wednesday and Friday for the next seven (ish) months while I write the next book in the series!

This is the official summary of the series, Happier Every Day:

Harry and Ginny spent a year torn apart by war. Now, they have a chance to make up for lost time. This is the story of their lives after war— how they find their way back to each other, grow as individuals and a couple, and navigate the joys and struggles of their new world together.

And the official summary of the first book, Summer of Recovery:

What comes after Voldemort’s defeat? A very, very difficult summer. The world moves on, and it’s much different than it was when Harry and Ginny first got together. The summer will be one of grief, but they’re ready to recover together after so long apart. The only question is: will the world finally let them recover together?

Here are the links to the story, which will be posted on SIYE, AO3, and ff.net:

I Wanted A Normal School Year, And Then I Met Harry Potter

Magical Blues

These two follow the canon relationships and try to build them. The first is finished, and the second is a work in progress. I updated it yesterday.

It's gotten really bad the last several months (especially Ginny bashing). I'm also seeing a lot less defense of the Weasleys on the main sub. About every week now there are threads that are full of mischaracterization, insults towards the Weasleys, and flat out false information about what these characters did in canon. It's always been a problem, but it's honestly baffling how bad it's gotten recently with people regularly getting facts wrong. I don't know what's caused this spike.

I’d love for anyone interested to follow! The canon-compliant community is small but vibrant, and it’d be great to have more spaces to keep this little corner of the fandom together and thriving :)

Hi! Does anyone here have any recommendations for Harry Potter Meta/Essays/Canon Analysis to read? I love finding essays and book analysis like these! I've seen a few on tumblr so far and would love more links! 🥰

Hi. I read a fic that showed Dudley’s reaction of having a magical daughter, and it was very fun. This was on a AU, so I started thinking. How would it go on a canon compliant universe? Do you know any good fics with this premise while being canon compliant?
