Hello!! first fic rec!
I just read Lily's boy by SomewheresSword
It was amazing!! One of my first actual harry potter fics on ao3 i kind of went straight into the marauders fics on ao3 when i first started on ao3 but it was really amazing. Interesting ships i had never seen like Charlie Weasley/Sirius Black and Severus Snape/Remus Lupin.
Will say there is Ron, Hermione, and Molly bashing, Dumbledore bashing, age gap between Charlie and Sirius but i think it is very well talked about in the fic.
Main ship is Drarry (which is my go to)
Summary straight from ao3:
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.
