valmora | Harry Potter Recs

Just because I'm mostly past this stage in ficcing and so many people do much better recs than I do, I'm considering this just a note to myself of my favorites, and listed in no particular order -

As usual, arranged by character, then ship, but we all know I'm shippier than character-based, right?

Except, clearly, where Severus Snape is concerned. I generally feel that as a canon character he's been wasted to a degree that would make me cry if I thought about it.

Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald
(because of the author-acknowledged nature of at least Dumbledore's relationship to Grindelwald, I will post even the non-ship stuff in the ship section. Also because I'm lazy. So, the stuff that isn't shippy will be marked.)

Proper Planes, by

sazzlette (R)
Sometimes he thinks he'd rather be Muggleborn like Dean than a half-blood, with all the bizarre mixing of cultures; Wizard and Muggle, Irish and English. And as if things weren't confusing enough, he had to turn out to be a fudge packer.
