Ok here's some stuff that I *think* should be right up your alley. If you have any more specifics after reading some of these let me know and I'll have another look for suitable recs.

A Portrait of the Narcissist as a Young Man
James/Remus, James/Sirius, James/Remus/Sirius (NC-17)
MWPP era, a bit dark but I can totally see the boys acting like this.

four thousand two hundred and sixty
Sirius/Remus (R)
Sirius in Azkaban. In character and a good way to fill in the gaps in canon.

by the light of lesser stars
Snape/Harry (NC-17)
One of my favourite fics ever. After OotP, dark, and just oh so wow. I could read this over and over again.

Fidelius
Snape/Harry (NC-17)
This is really imaginative and kinda hopeful. Still quite in character as well.

And heehehhee:
Indiana Jones and the Impossible Pyramid
Bill/Indiana Jones ♥
Seriously, just read it. (The author's layout is a bit shitty tho, sorry)

Yay, I love recs :D

Gen fics

Yet Another Snape Meets the Dursleys story, by rabbit and v-jinx-v.

Does what it says on the tin. Compliant until DH, novel length. Has a pizza boy asking Snape, 'Are you Neil Gaiman?'.

Birth of A Name, by Nonjon. How Tom Riddle anagrammed his name into something slightly more...fearsome. Warning: don't eat or drink anything while reading this.

Dursley Dudley and the Hogwarts Letter (Top of the Pops remix) by Kindkit. A one-shot AU where Dudley's parents died and he's taken in by the Potters.

The Slytherin Karma Sutra by Angie Astravic. After a misadventure by two students, Snape teaches a sex-ed class. A very funny one-shot with het implications.

Almost a Squib, by BajaB. What if the Dursley had managed to beat the magic out of Harry? Covers all of the books.

Better Be Slytherin! by Jharad17. It's the only convincing Harry-sorted-into-Slytherin AU I've read so far. WIP, and threatening to be very, very long, but well worth it.

Back Again, Harry? by Jedi Buttercup. Harry uses the Hallows to go back in time to his first year and try to fix things.Novel length WIP; future pairings unknown, but probably different from canon.

Also, don't, well, be near anybody else why you read this. Dad though I was choking because I was trying not to laugh out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Here's my list of Harry Potter recs. Everything's labeled and rated, most are slash or ladyslash, but there's some gen smushed in places. (Reply to this)

The Shoebox Project

This is a long(!) series of letters and the occasional photo, such as might have been saved by the Marauders; contains correspondence between the four of them over their summer holidays, interspersed with narratives set during their time at school. Covers third year through to the beginnings of the first Order of the Phoenix. I don't read much 'fic anymore, but this consumed most of a day when I stumbled onto it. It's Remus/Sirius and James/Lily and shows how their relationships develop as the years pass. The whole thing isn't perfect and gets a little silly at times but I quite enjoyed it.

	I'd break out a list of recs, but alas, Harmonians scare you, and that's about all I know. Granted, most of it is pretty heavily tongue-in-cheek, but it's still written by people F_W has long since written off as "too crazy". (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You make a very good point. I like started watching Doctor Who a couple of months ago and I like Rose a lot and I think we all know how most of FW regards Rose fen. So hit me with the Harmonian fic recs. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Christine Morgan's HP fanfics. I especially recommend "Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness." "Fifth House" is also enjoyable. (Reply to this)

	mrsparkle 2008-02-10 04:38 am UTC (link)
	A good one that's overlooked by a lot of people: Twelve Dark Moons Luna/Voldemort(Riddle) AU, HBP-compliant. Luna, among others, ends up as a prisoner of war during Voldemort's ascent to power in 1998. It's darkfic, and it's one of the best Voldemort-centric fics I've ever read. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oooh, that one is lovely. I'm reccing the L/V pairing on Crack Broom just because of that fic. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Isn't it great to spend night after night online in the company of your best friends? Nothing like shooting the shit with your pals after a long day of watching Star Trek VHS tapes. After the long walk upstairs, it feels so good to sit down in the Archthrone of your Painkeep, rip open a new Pringles can and start sipping a freshly concocted Mountain Dew-Quik shake you call the "Polyjuice Potion" in honor of Harry Potter. (uNF Ginny!!) You call it that because after you drink it, you transform into something completely different. Your deep cyst acne clears up, you forget about your obesity, and you can chat about anime with people who genuinely care about you. After a few hours, the chat slows down and you wander over to some Russian child porn sites you subscribe to. Here's hoping the feds don't track your Citibank card! Hehe. A good long session of stroking your four inch penis finally results in a few drops of clear semen on your flabby fist, which you wipe all over your lips and chin, inhaling deeply. Finally feeling a bit drowsy, you click off your monitor and crack open your Gentoo laptop so you can finish explaining why Babylon 5 shouldn't have been cancelled while in bed. You fall heavily onto your greasy mattress which has a stained pillow and a discolored blanket half draped on it. You sleepily type in a few lines of chat while popping some throbbing zits on your cheek, making more pin point stains on your pillow. Just as you see some orange glow around the edge of your sheet draped window you decide to catch some sleep. You hate this time of night (day?) Now your loneliness hits you like a wall. Almost every real friend you've ever made has forgotten about you or is disgusted by you. Why do you act like that? Why do you LOOK like that? You represent everything they don't want to be. Why couldn't you just stay on a diet? Why carve up every last pimple until yet another bloody crater has been dug out of your cheek? Go to sleep...go to sleep, you plead to yourself. Tomorrow is Season 4 of Voyager... Seven of Nine. You like to imagine that you're on that spaceship, part of something, part of a group. But you never will be. Tears mingle with pus stains on your pillow as you squeeze your eyes shut trying to push the terrible reality of your singular aloneness. If only you had done better in school, if only you could find a job... and you remember Mom wants you to mow the lawn tomorrow morning. Goddamn it, you're turning 30 this November and you're still doing this shit. Your life is a prison and there's no chance for parole.
