As requested, more fic recs! I figured I’d go with heavily influenced H/G sunlit days stories. Most if not all are set during HBP because I love pining and the amazing days after the kiss.
Anything with an * is a WIP.
I’ve already highlighted @floreatcastellumposts ‘s amazing work in my All-time Favorites List, but definitely worth re-highlighting all her Missed Moments on AO3 and those exclusively on her tumblr. Please do check out my other list, where I mention some of my favorite missed moments!
Noticing* by @thedistantdusk
Okay. Okay. Look. I had just come back to fandom and was traveling to across the country for work. And right before I jump on my plane, what do I discover? An amazing fic set during HBP when Harry begins noticing Ginny. Yes, I spent the several hour flight trying to subtly read this story filled with teenage pining and wanking, praying my neighbor didn’t catch me.
i made a fumbling play for your heart (and the act struck a spark) by @stuckwith-harry
Ugh, yes, yes, Harry obliviousness and pining all the way. Such poetic language to describe this beautiful couple.
Twenty-Two Days by @brightlybound
An already well-known favorite in the H/G fandom, but always worth mentioning in case someone has yet to read it. It covers the brilliant 22 days between the epic common room kiss and the break-up (also moments before and after).
scraping the skies with our fingertips by aceofdiamonds
Hogwarts is all astir with its latest new couple! I adore seeing how Harry and Ginny are perceived by others.
The Next Day by @clarensjoy
Ugh, after reading this, I have a lot of trouble imagining how the day in Hogwarts after the common room kiss could go in any other way! So many amazing perspectives and point of views, the ripple effect throughout the entire school at the news of our favorite couple getting together,
Reckless, Even by @ginnympotter
Ah, this story - I remember reading this while walking down the street, unable to stop the grin on my face. It’s a beautiful missed moment of a particular happy hour by the lake. It reminded my all the reasons why Harry and Ginny are my OTP.
All the ways the author uses the word “stay,” all the emotion that is conveyed in so few words, is truly unreal. Seven vignettes during the Deathly Hallows. It makes me tear up every time.
The professors of Hogwarts place shipping bets on who Harry Potter will end up with.
