What do you consider to be the best HP fics, the ones that are especially memorable or exceptionally well-written? I feel like I'm running out of good stuff to read, but I'm sure there's more out there. All lengths, ratings, pairings, etc. are acceptable. Please also feel free to advertise your own stories.

ETA: Don't panic if your response doesn't appear right away. Livejournal is making me approve any comments that include hyperlinks.

ETA2: WIP's are also fine.

Oh, that's hard. There are so many good fics.

If I had to recommend just one fic, it would be perverse-idyll's The White Road. I was gaping in awe at the writing for days afterward, and it converted me from flat-out hating the idea of Snarry to being a regular reader of Snarry.

Also good:

Anything by amanuensis - be warned, it's all dark and disturbing, but so so good. I especially recommend Act of Faith, Sovay and the Snape/Black hatesex pieces - http://amanuensis1.com/

samvimes' Stealing Harry universe, a nice AU saga with gen, slash, and het elements (responsible for my Severus/Tonks and Sirius/Remus obsessions), Sweet Home (Remus/OMC), and Acts Infernal (Harry decides to rescue Sirius from death, and encounters Tom's good side, along with a host of other characters).

For Severus/Hermione/Lucius plotty, comedic, scheming goodness there is shiv's The Beginner's Guide to Breeding Peacocks and dickgloucester's A Taxing Affair.

For ruthless postwar Hermione, S.Rebeiro's Caveat Inimici.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5508237/1/Caveat_Inimici

For Harry/Draco goodness, Emma Grant's Left My Heart series (link to first story, the rest are there too)
http://www.queerasjedi.net/emma/fic/viewstory.php?sid=63&warning=1

For Severus/Hermione postwar adventures with plenty of snark and bad guys, abby's The Other Side of Darkness and sequel.
http://www.witchfics.org/abby/tosod.html

For classic ensemble adventure AUs, Arsinoe de Blassenville's The Prefect's Portrait and The Golden Age. Her The Best Revenge and sequel are a nice take on the 'Snape saves Harry from the Dursleys' cliche.

For excellent Severus mentors/adopts Harry fic, Aspen in the Sunlight's A Year Like None Other series is excellent, and there are several multichapter fics plus a few oneshots. Fairly evil Lucius.

More Severus mentors Harry, with with a rather unique take on Snape's living situation outside Hogwarts (written pre-HBP) - Tary Tory's Hall of the Mountain Kings series.
http://inkstain.inkquill.net/isf/archive/12/hallof.html

Also:
elsa's Taniwha series - http://www.potionsandsnitches.net/fanfiction/viewseries.php?seriesid=21
Branwyn's Chivalry series - http://www.potionsandsnitches.net/fanfiction/viewseries.php?seriesid=41

I have more, but I'll stop here for now. I have some recs posted on my tumblr (click the 'fic' tag), and a lot more to add. I have things besides SS/HG and mentorship fics too, I promise! Haha. If you want more, I'm happy to provide them.

Awesome! I've only seen a few of these. Thanks!

[condwiramurs.livejournal.com]

No Problem!

Also, I forgot to add: any of pogrebin's fics. unsticking the shadow is especially brilliant. An actually intelligent, successful Voldie!

Draco and Harry

[urbanman1984.livejournal.com]

Do you know of any good Draco and Harry material that is written by men?

Re: Draco and Harry

[condwiramurs.livejournal.com]

sam-storyteller's "Alternate" is ok.
http://sam-storyteller.dreamwidth.org/31126.html?#cutid1

Other than that I don't know of any specifically written by men, but I read H/D fairly rarely and am not well acquainted with the authors who write it. I'd try the H/D Worldcup; there's some good fic there, and I'd assume that the major authors of all genders would participate.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!
