HI @justashadowinthedarkness okay, so I saw your post (of which I left a comment too) and I decided to make you an unsolicited fic rec list that you may or may not appreciate. Honestly, it was fun to make though.
TURN is amazing it is definitely one of the most amazing fanfics ever written. But don’t despair!! There are so many amazing other fics as well!
Every fic by saras_girl ever will give you that same sense of deep satisfaction. Trust me. Her advents are particularly amazing. These couple are my favourites of hers but read everything even all the one-shots.
season of the spirit 95k. Absolutely fantastic and beautiful
Girl in The Kneazle Knighty 30k. terribly sweet.
All Must Draw Near 61k ugh
All Life is Yours to Miss 114k no words
Running on Air by elevntey7 74k This is probably one of the, if not the most beautiful fanfics ever written in this fandom. It’s… incredible.
Survival is a Talent by @shanastoryteller 299k WIP There are no words for how much I love this fic. It is by far my favourite storyline, the writing is quality and the humour is… ya I laugh out loud at least twice a chapter. I wait impatiently for each chapter to appear in my inbox. (currently on hiatus in between books. She updates once a month like clockwork, like nearly to the day, when she is posting. No doubt it will continue)
Never Grow a Wishbone by @shanastoryteller 87k also a WIP and on hiatus. Updates monthly in rotation with siat. You gotta love politics, but it’s so so worth it. Honestly. I read for the politics over anything else. Shana’s world-building is like no other. Fits less on this list but I can’t not mention everything hp written by Shana sorry (not sorry at all tbh).
Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 302k Long. Vaguely angsty. So worth it.
A Piercing Comfort by talithan 44k I read this when I’m feeling down and it never fails to make me feel better. It’s just so. sweet and perfect. CWs apply. Read the tags.
Wild by seefin 92k Beautiful. Very intriguing plot and magical theory. Different from most post-war fics and i love it.
Almost everything by Zeitgeistic (faire_weather). Notables include Azoth 88k, Antediluvia 56k, Manticoria 70k and Golden Age 52k. Remember that tags are important! CWs apply. This goes for most of their other older fics.
Dwelling by aideomai 83k just. Read it honestly. please. another absolute favourite. I might actually read it again right now. soft+angst+every trope you could ever need or want.
Away Childish Things by lettered 153k. Bare with the storyline. I started reading it and got a little bored in the first two chapters, but when it won the 2018 drarry awards I decided to give it another go and honestly I’m so glad I did.
Earth Bound Spook by cest_what 57k
Blue sky is living here today by Ignatiustrout 5k. Short. But absolutely fantastic.
The Kitchen Thieves and The Kitchen Herself by pie 67k. …different. Lovely but. different. Keep with it though.
Strageness and Charm by @feelsforbreakfast 45k Quietly beautiful. So soft.
Any Instrament by @dictacontrion 131k dicta is one of those fandom gods like Sara who has a million fics that are all brilliant. Read her. Worship her.
(also Dyson_rules. Great fics, more humour based though? Still a god)
At Your Service by faithwood 95k *dies*
Eternally Consitent by kitsunealyc 44k two words. Mind. Fuck. But a beautiful one (okay 6 words)
The Claiming of Grimmauld Place by @bixgirl1 74k again. fandom god. Bixgirl is kind of amazing and also incredibly sweet.
What We Pretend We Can’t See by @gyzym 131k I’m not crying you are.
I’m sure there are so many wonderful fics that I’m missing. In fact, I’m positive that there are ones I just can’t think of, and because I lost so many when my computer crashed (and I didn’t have a back up) I can’t go check. There are also so many lists out there. Frequent them! especially the ‘drarry for beginners’ lists that have all the amazing classics that I haven’t included here because while they are absolutely fantastic and amazing don’t elicit that deep warm bloom in the centre of my chest that TURN and every fic on this list does, or because they aren’t really my cup of tea.
