Oh, do you want to read some FanFiction? Links galore!

Switchknife has outdone herself. This is the recommendation thread to end all. The fact that Primer to the Dark Arts is mentioned has nothing to do with my happy smile.

This stuff is awesome, guys.
Lots and lots of SLASH!

And others are appreciative of that spirit of sharing! I thought I was well read until I discovered your list. Now I see that I have a lot of catching up to do. "Primer" and "Drunken Domesticity" were already on my "cream of the crop" list, of course, but I'm looking forward to becoming acquainted with some of your other recs.

I really love 'Primer' (plus it's finished, and everyone loves finished stories) but I'm always puzzled by the response 'Drunken Domesticity.' Some people absolutely love it, while others really hate it have this 'meh' response. Why is this?

Well, I can only offer an uneducated guess as to the "meh" responses- maybe they were hoping for a generous helping of smut and were disappointed not to find any? Dunno.

As for me, I love "Drunken Domesticity" because of the characterization of Ron. It's nice to see him acting sure of himself without being cocky, being a steadfast good friend without being boringly earnest or secretly resentful, and his interactions with Snape are priceless. "Oh, and the handles don't match. Bet you'd hate that." I loved the appearance of Snape on the doorstep, too- I could just SEE him there, looking all out of place. Great stuff.
