rec notes: This is a series of 7 fics of varying lengths, so it's easy to dip in and out of reading them if you're not looking for something long. Each of these fics looks at the Terry/Michael/Anthony friendship from a different angle, chronicling their adventures from their first year of Hogwarts to well after the war. It's funny at times, genuinely very sad at others, consistently well-written and packed with emotion. What's really impressive about this series is the wealth of headcanon for these three minor characters. I thoroughly recommend diving in.

summary: 'You're a wizard, Harry' is easier to hear from a half-giant when you're eleven, rather than from some kids on a tube platform when you're seventeen and late for work.

rec notes: I'm reccing this now so the other admin can't get to it first. THAT ASIDE this fic is life-changing. I've read parts of it over and over again. The verisimilitude with which the 90s are lovingly depicted is not only charming but frequently hilarious. And the plot is SO. CLEVER. A masterpiece for the ages.

rec notes: I can't say too much about this fic without giving a lot away. Essentially, this is a collection of seven different AUs, which tie together in an overarching story. The writing is engrossing, and each AU setting is brilliantly detailed and compelling.
