• HP: Occam's Razor, by RaeWhit.
  Two years after the end of the war, only desperation could make Harry seek out the help of a one-time enemy. -- > This is a great story, with plot, and hot sex, and wonderful characterization. All three main characters have grown and became stronger. I couldn't stop reading this although my eyes started hurting and I should've gone to bed.

• HP: Not Too Late, by winterthunder.
  Severus' job at the Department of Mysteries requires contact with an occasional former student. However, he never expects Luna Lovegood to walk through his door. -- > This is a great story. Both Luna and Severus are very much in character. The relationship progressed very naturally, and it didn't seem the slightest bit forced. The sex was hot and yet realistic. I enjoyed this very much.

• SGA: Glimpse, By Minnow1212.
  Bates sees dead people. And living ones. -- > This is a very interesting look into a very overlooked person, Sgt. Bates. He's so very real and human and flawed and awesome here. And beside the great characterization there's an interesting and fascinating story. Even after having read it almost 5 years ago, it still stayed fresh in my mind. And when I re-read it for this rec I found this story still to be great.

• HP: If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd've Baked a Cake, by Pitry.
  It was funny to call it normal, but life can be funny sometimes: that was what Lavender had said, and Dudley, who knew he wasn’t very clever, was bound to agree with her. --> I really love all the characters here, but Dudley especially was great. He's still the boy we met, but he grew up. Not all bullies stay bullies, and I love him realizing that, that he can change. The characters interactions were wonderful too, all those little moments of friendship. How the war left scars, some more visible than others, and yet life can go on.

• DS: TV Cops, by Teaphile.
  A babble of questions boiled up out of the class, then, like all thirty-two of them were talking at once, even though Ray could see that at least one kid was asleep, head slumped against the window. -- > This is a wonderful look at Ray and the way he sees being a cop. This story balances the whimsy of due South with gritty realism.

• Iron Man-Movies: Chloe Liked Olivia, By Marinarusalka.
  One is the personal assistant to a billionaire-playboy-turned-superhero. The other is an ambitious journalist with a political conscience.

Love how Pepper and Christine become friends, and how they bond over something other than men or their jobs.

• HP: Love's Appalling Adverbs, by Amanuensis
  Hermione learns two things: a secret about Snape, and that she's a terrible writer. -- > One of those stories I re-read and re-read is Love's Appalling Adverbs. It takes a very humerous take on romance novels and first time writers without being mean. Even after reading it so many times I still can laugh about it.
