And following are my favorite stories from Week 3. The trend toward the medium-to-long story continued so carve out some time for some good reading.

The Elemental   (43,000 words/Explicit)  This one features a very powerful Harry Potter and a suddenly-not-dead-and-much-younger Severus Snape who hasn’t experienced the second coming of Voldemort and is anxious to find his family. This one has a lot of plot which is handled very well, a believable time twist explanation, and the funniest description of Hermione I’ve read. It’s really an engaging PowerfulHarry story and a very good read.

hope you’re wearing your best clothes (turns out its your pants) (4152 words/Mature)  Harry finds a living/breathing Snape in the Shrieking Shack when he goes back for his body and engages Hermione and Fleur to help save him. I love Harry’s attitude in this story, and the way the story moves forward in time. No Snarry here - easily can see it as pre-Snarry - but it’s a good little character study piece that I really enjoyed.

How We Were Warriors:  (51,567 words, Explicit)  Another long one for the final week of fest. This one features a Severus who’s gone to NYC after the war to continue developing potions, and a Harry who joins him several years later to work through some things. It’s the dueling and merging stories of a closeted gay man who came of age in the ‘80s and an out-of-the-closet gay man coming of age in London and NYC in the early 2000s. Really stellar writing by one of my favorites authors (I think...reveals aren’t up yet) and a history lesson too. Harry’s obvious interest in Severus is paralleled by Severus’ suppressed interest in Harry. Slow burn in the first half. Enjoy!
