Brief summary: This story's got some of the less fun cliches, but makes up for it with solid writing, good characterization, and an actually really cool take on wizarding puberty. I mean, there are other good things - I like the handling of the DA, for one - but mostly? I really, really like the weird magical puberty and the wizarding prudery regarding it. There's an in-progress sequel.

Rating: R
Length: Epic
Brief summary: Another classic. And for good reason! The relationships are exactly as weird and tangled as you'd expect; befriending (and falling in love with) your rival of years can't help but be complicated. There's banter and angst and cuteness and depth, which you don't typically find all in one story, and the secondary characters don't get short shrift, so altogther it's a story as rare as it wonderful. Also, hey! It's finished, which was a great surprise to me. And God, what an end. I'd been waiting two years to finish that story and you know what? It was worth it.
