Admittedly, I haven't read much Harry Potter fanfic, but this was recommended to me by a friend with the tagline 'It's better than the original series.'.
While that tagline may be up for vociferous debate, this series of stories is one of the most amazing I have ever read. It also comes with many fascinating, strong female characters, as well as great depictions of both straight and queer relationships. If you enjoy it half as much as I did, you'll love it!
The Sacrifices Arc - By LightningontheWave
Saving Connor
AU, eventual HPDM slash, very Slytherin!Harry. Harry's twin Connor is the Boy Who Lived, and Harry is devoted to protecting him by making himself look ordinary. But certain people won't let Harry stay in the shadows... COMPLETE
No Mouth but Some Serpents
AU of CoS, Slytherin!Harry. Harry goes back to Hogwarts, determined to protect his brother Connor, the BoyWhoLived, and stay in the shadows. But last year two people learned the truth about Harry... and this year, two more will. COMPLETE
Comes out of Darkness Morn
AU of PoA, Slytherin!Harry. Harry struggles to rebuild himself after the shattering events of his second year. He will finally learn the truths he needs to know...but they're hardly going to be pleasant ones. COMPLETE
Freedom and Not Peace
AU of GoF, Slytherin!Harry. Training his brother, negotiating with former Death Eaters, juggling responsibility and duty...Harry's life is running away with him, as he struggles to balance. COMPLETE
Wind that Shakes the Seas and Stars
AU of OoTP, Slytherin!Harry, HPDM slash. Snape begins the year with a mistake that sets his ward against him. Now Harry is using all his own considerable cunning to ride out the multiple storms, even as the Second War goes into motion. COMPLETE
A Song in Time of Revolution
AU of HBP, HPDM slash. Revolution is never an easy choice—and worse when you’re trying to respect the free will of everyone, wizard and magical creature alike. Prophecy and politics and the Ministry... Harry doesn’t need any more complications.
I am Also Thy Brother
AU, part 7 of Sacrifices. In the wake of death and disaster, Harry struggles to be everything he is: leader, lover, son, and brother. Yet what will survive the War diminishes every day he does not find and destroy a Horcrux.
That's all I've got in this corner! If you've any good Harry Potter fanfics you want to recommend, post them up!
