Harry Potter

I Know Where The Summer Goes by such_heights
Gorgeous, quiet, heartbreaking story of the summer Sirius decides to leave home. I especially love the relationship between him and Regulus here - it's clear they still love each other, even with the differences between them already pushing them apart.

Pansy Parkinson, after the war. Interesting use of second person that suits the story and the character. Sharp and sad.

A New Alliance by jncar
Lovely missing scene from DH.

"It stands for Dumbledore's Army."

"It seems you've come to the right place. My name just happens to be Dumbledore."

Touch the Face of the Stars by lyras
Lily during the war. Sad and yet full of hope and love. Bring tissues, especially for the ending.

vae victis by virginia_bell
Lovely, sad, hopeful story of Narcissa asking Andromeda to look after Draco after she and Lucius are sent to Azkaban. The letters between the sisters, who haven't spoken in 30 years, ring with hard, poignant truth.
