HP ficrecs
Tried to find some newer or lesser known fics that aren't on all the other ficrec lists already! Mostly longfics, mostly on ao3, complete unless stated otherwise
Holly Potter and the Midlife Crisis by Enigmaris
Only in fanfiction can you have an epic battle of Personified Life vs Thanos a chapter after Jarvis (Yes, Tony Stark's AI Jarvis) and Hogwarts start dating. Only in fanfic.

Pride of Time by AnubisAnkh
Snamione... But like, it makes sense? One of the best time travel fics I've ever read, Hermione goes back to 1977 and the fic goes over her life from then to 1994.

Library of Elvish Lore by evansentranced
Harry runs away as a young child and, not quite understanding his magic, grows convinced that he is a forest elf. Ft funny magical creatures, elf liberation and many frustrated magical professionals. Part one and two, the main parts, are complete, the series is still INCOMPLETE though.

Being Harry Potter by Kirinin
A really chaotic really deep Draco centric story that throws you for a loop every time you think you know what's going on.
~100k words, rated T
Wizards In Space by esama
I don't know what it is about this fic that touches me in such a profound way??? Basically there's a portal to a spaceship in the room of requirement.
~50k words, rated T
And of course I couldn't not put my two actual faves on this list that I've also already done podfics of:
Leo Inter Serpentes by aeternum
Draco is less of an asshole, therefore Harry doesn't argue with the hat against Slytherin... A wonderful emotional and fun canon divergence story. INCOMPLETE: y7 is still to be written, but the first six parts are finished. Drarry, friendship with (Gryffindor) Hermione, light Ron-bashing
Podfics of part 1-3 by me here! (~20h)

Harry Potter and the Lack of Lamb Sauce by imagitory
This one tumblr pps probably know already bc it started on an epic tumblr post and turned into an even more epic story! In y6, Potions Master Gordon Ramsay goes to Hogwarts and won't take Snape's or Dumbledore's shit. There is a fun cooking tournament but there is also a war and the resulting trauma... Diverse cast of canon and original characters, A++ writing!
This is actually the first of my podfics! From the reviews I've gathered that it is worth a listen but if you're used to the supreme editing skills on my other podfics please be kind on this one, I only just started and most chapters are one-takes.
