Peaces
by HenryMercury (2018)
Length - 1100 words
Poly - Minerva/Rolanda/Poppy
Genre - Getting back together, mourning
Minerva, Rolanda and Poppy are clearing out Charity Burbage's desk. They find a tattoo kit. Bittersweet postwar fic with a hopeful ending.
"Maybe we should try it. In her memory."
The Ménage à Trois Solution
by Hermione_Stranger (2021)
Length - 2800 words
Poly - Hermione/Fleur/Ginny
Genre - Kink, threesome, cuckquean, Plot What Plot
Ginny wants to watch Fleur bang Hermione. Hermione is Ginny's girlfriend.
YMMV - This is a hot smutfic with a threesome. It's not a romantic relationship development fic.
They had agreed they wanted to be able to kiss and look into each other eyes while Fleur had her way with Hermione it was a key part of Ginny's fantasy and all parties were fine to indulge her with this strange desire.

Thealmostrhetoricalquestion (2018)
Length - 4000 words
Poly - Hermione/Parvati/Lavender
Genre - Hurt/Comfort, scars, Eighth Year
Beautiful fic about healing and hurt/comfort. Postwar. Traumatized eighth years Hermione, Parvati and Lavender return to Hogwarts. Sweet fic and really well-written.
See, Lavender’s not always the smartest person in the room, but she’s observant. She likes knowing things, and she likes being the first to notice things, and what she’s noticed about Hermione is that she’s stiff. Stiff and in pain and tense, like she doesn’t know how to relax now that the war’s over. She’s always the first to react when someone enters the room, and she sits like she’s waiting for an attack. Her wand never leaves her side.
Unexpected Guest
Icarus
Length - 4500 words
Poly - Harry/Ron/Snape
Genre - fantasizing, smut
Harry has a fantasy about Ron and Snape. He has a serious crush on them. Of course being Harry he's oblivious. His dreams definitely know what he wants.
Rec note - This fic is from the Primer to the Dark Arts Universe, the brilliant Snarry fic by Icarus.
A Spell to Turn Tigers to Butter
by Amanuensis
Length - 9200 words
Relationships - Harry/Lucius, Harry/Snape
Genre - Dark, noncon, manipulation
This fic doesn't have a threesome. The reason I included this fic was because of how the relationship dynamics between the three MCs is written. It's fucked up, dark and seriously brilliant.
Voldemort gave Harry to Lucius and Snape. They end up killing each other. Why? Turns out maybe Harry isn't as broken as they think! He uses them against each other.
Malfoy and Snape had dueled. Saying nothing to anyone, from what I can discern, what had brought it on. A wizard's duel. But not to first blood.
Both used Avada Kedavra. And neither missed.
My two most useful servants, dead! Not by enemy hands but by their own! Over an insult about which I know nothing...
Voldemort being Voldemort makes the same mistake again of course! Amazing darkfic.
What It Takes
by jad (2011)
Length - 10000 words
Poly - Harry/Ron/Draco
Genre - D/s, kink
Seriously hot smut with tons of complicated dynamics. Harry and Ron are doing the dirty together. Draco propositions Harry in a bar. Harry and Ron take him home and don't really treat him like a princess. Ron is with Hermione. Draco wants Harry. Complicated emotions! Complicated characters.
As his fingers curled around the wood he felt a rush of warmth at his fingertips, and studied the way the muted light spilling in from the hallway danced off the shaft. He'd always wondered if Malfoy had any idea that it had been this wand—his wand—that had put an end to the evil that had nearly consumed them all.
Raising the Bar
by literaryspell (2011)
Length - 12400 words
Poly - Teddy/Scorpius/Albus
Genre - flangst, pining and misunderstandings.
Rec - Albus and Teddy own Hog’s Head Inn. They hire Scorpius as the help.
"Scorpius Malfoy, the sluttiest, dirtiest bottom the wizarding world has ever seen, needs a job and is willing to do anything. He said that.”
Scorpius has a reputation. But how much of that is true? Classic pining and misunderstanding plot executed really well in the context of two MCs bringing a third MC into their relationship.
A Feather in One's Cap
by featherxquill (2012)
Length - 13000 words
Poly - Minerva/Rolanda/Rita
Genre - Established relationship
Rita is doing sports reporting. She is really bored! She sees Minerva watching the referee. She smells a story. After the match she goes to interview Rolanda and things get interesting between them. Minerva and Rolanda are in an existing relationship. They talk about. Love how the discussion between them is written. Mature and realistic. How they approach Rita and how she treats them is done brilliantly. Happy ending. This is not a fluffy fic. Really clever and unique.
Rita was a hedonist, often a predator. She acted on instinct most of the time, like she had in the locker room. Get under people’s skin, see what happened. She liked that, the unplanned, the unguarded moment, that instant when people snapped. It told her so much about them, and Rita was not afraid of exploring those stories, whatever was hidden beneath the surface. Indeed, the more dangerous, the better.
Never Like This
by s0mmerspr0ssen (2009)
Length - 18900 words
Poly - Remus/Sirius/Harry
Genre - AU, pining, misunderstandings, happy ending
This is a AU fic. Sirius does not have a Godfather relationship with Harry. Harry picks up Sirius at a bar. Sirius was there upset after a fight with Remus. Harry finds out and makes Sirius stop before things get hot. But Sirius goes back to Remus and they work out their problems. They decide they want to bring Harry in. Things get really complicated. It's got a happy ending!
Merlin, what was he thinking? He needed to get away from them. He'd make up some excuse not to see them so soon - practical training at the Amazon or something equally time-demanding - until he had sorted this whole mess out. He wasn't falling for them. He just wasn't.
Euphoria
by birdsofshore (2015)
Length - 22500 words
Poly - Draco/Scorpius/Albus
Genre - Incest, Kink, Dubcon
Dirty/bad/wrong/hot smut! Drunk Albus ends up in Draco's room. He realizes his mistake and tells Scorpius everything. Scorpius exploits the situation like any good Slytherin. Complicated fic. Seriously hot and kinky. It's got a happy ending.
It's like some terrible surreal dream, the kind you never manage to wake up from in time. Where you're caught in Devil's Snare, and the more you struggle, the less chance you have of getting free. Maybe it's the right thing to do – to stay and face this. I look from one to the other of them and meet only the same calculating grey eyes, whichever way I turn.
Make Me Smile(Come Up and See Me)
by bussaiko (2010)
Length - 26100 words
Poly - Sirius/Remus/Snape
Genre - Raising Harry, AU
Rec - Sirius and Snape steal Harry after Voldemort kills the Potters. They take him to Snape's house. In this fic Remus is the one who goes after Wormtail. The Ministry is looking for him. He comes and hides at Snape's house. Turns out they were lovers before. A really beautiful and complicated fic. I feel some of the characterizations can be OOC. But everything works in the context of the fic. The relationship development is great.
"Sirius isn't a leader," Remus said. "He follows orders, and he measures how much love he deserves by how well he obeys." One corner of Remus' mouth twitched up. "Opposite to you, I suppose. You follow your own bent moral compass."
Rec note - bussaiko wrote some of my favorite Remus Lupin characterizations. Highly recommend checking out their AO3 if you like their writing style.
And Malfoy Makes Three
by AbstractConcept (2008)
Length - 40600 words
Poly - Draco/Harry/Snape
Genre - Relationship building, humor
Rec - Harry wants a baby with Snape. Snape of course thinks Harry wants a threesome. With Draco. One of those fics which should be 100% crack. It's got the crack. But it's also got good characterizations and relationship development. Polyamory fics are sometimes unconvincing about how two MCs in an existing relationship bring a third MC into it. This one does a great job.
"Which would you prefer, male or female? I assume male," he added.
Harry was overjoyed. "Oh, it doesn't matter to me at all!" he assured the man. "As long as it's healthy."
Super excited to finally get the chance to rec AbstractConcept! One of my favorite Snarry authors of all time. Their fics are guaranteed to cheer me up. Absolutely brilliant and funny. Funny in fic can be pretty dicey especially in fanfics where a lot of us have headcanons about the MC's sense of humor. This author really nails the funny in their fics.
YMMV - Mpreg can be a squick for some readers. It's not graphic. Only talked about in the last part of the fic. YMMV.
Three Men
by Celandine and cruisedirector (2009)
Poly - Remus/Harry/Snape
Genre - kink, enemies to friends to lovers
Length - 54250 words
Rec - So we get a great poly relationship development. Bonus Watersports. I really love how dirty/bad/hot/wrong/fun this fic gets without compromising on showing how the relationship gets built. Really good writing. I am super impressed by how the characterizations are on point. It's the kind of fic that doesn't get written a lot now.
Tonks and Ginny are together. They dumped Remus and Harry. They are drinking together when Snape overhears their drama. Of course he exploits the situation!
How had Harry got himself into this? He was supposed to be getting drunk and feeling maudlin about Ginny, and instead he was about to be buggered by Severus Snape! He wasn't sure he'd drunk enough for this, or that he was capable of drinking enough for this.
It should be crack. It legit should be crack! But it's a kinky and sweet fic. Especially love their characterizations. A lot of Remus characterizations can get pretty serious and gloomy. This one is actually more lighthearted which I really liked.
YMMV - The kink definitely will be a squick for some readers. It's a serious kinkfic. YMMV.
The Semblance of Peace
by Maeglin_Yedi (2006)
Poly - Voldemort/Snape/Harry
Genre - Manipulation, dubcon, mindfuck
Length - 62500 words
Rec - The fic has a lot of plot and focus on relationship progression. The relationship development between the three MCs is awesome. Snape survived the war. Turns out that Voldemort also survived inside Harry's head! Voldemort wants revenge on Snape. Harry himself isn't Snape's biggest fan. The plot is brilliant and executed really well. Great writing. This author wrote one of my fav Snarry fics Penance Is The Play
Besides, Voldemort was dead. That was the most important thing, Harry told himself. Voldemort was dead for good.
Rich laughter echoed through Harry's head right before sleep captured him.
YMMV - I feel the Voldemort and Harry characterizations will vibe with a lot of readers who like the current trends in TMR/HP fics. The TMR characterization didn't really land for me. But it takes a lot for me to actually get convinced by TMR's characterization. Definitely not any fanfic author's fault. I just wasn't super convinced by canon. That's my subjective thing. YMMV. Loved the awesome plot.
Fate is a four letter word
by Philo
Poly - Kingsley/Snape/Harry
Length - 525300 words
Genre - Murder mystery, slowburn, friends to lovers, read the tags on AO3
Blurb - Kingsley and Snape left the country after the war. Harry is accused in Ginny's murder investigation. Harry and Ginny are married. But Draco was Ginny's lover during the time. The plot gets really complicated. Kingsley and Snape opening their relationship to include Harry is written amazingly. The take on polyamory in the fic is a slowburn relationship progression which is organic because of the other plots happening to get the MCs together. There's a lot going on. Honestly I am probably too dumb for this plot because it gets seriously complicated. But the relationship progression really stood out. It's also one of those fics which has older characters getting into a relationship and managing a lot of family problems.
YMMV - Definitely rec the fic as one of the best polyamorous relationship development serious fanfics in our slash fandom. But this fic was tough to read for me because of the length of the fic and my attention span problems. YMMV. If you like seriously longfics and complicated plots, this is the fic for you!
