jlh | Water Clock: Masterlist of Stories (Reply)

Stories are in order of events, rather than of writing.

Harry Potter:
Eight Ways From Sunday. GoF canon sixth-year, novel-length, in 15 chapters, rated R. It could be standing before you, needing a bit of a push. Or sitting beside you, waiting for you to let go. Perhaps it's sneaking up from behind, hoping you will turn around. But sometimes, love falls from a clear blue sky, and you just have to catch it. How do you decide which is the right path, when you're only sixteen? Seamus/Dean, Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Ron/Padma. Background of Remus/Sirius and Neville/Susan, and mentions of Percy/Oliver. Archived at FictionAlley.
