    I read it because I was bored and promptly forgot half of it. It's like chewing gum. In the end, you don't really get anything out of it but a bit of taste.

    You snarky youngsters 'ave no respect for the good ol' days! Why, I remember back in 2005-2006 when these ideas were the pinnacle of originality! They were so original, in fact, that nobody noticed how retarded most of them were! Yes, I remember when the whole "mutilate canon into a wankfest where everybody is some 'lord' or 'lady' and 'politics' is shorthand for lots of mangled Elizabethan English and 'so mote it be''s" thing started up.

    Why, those were the only HP fics without slash or Ginny that we had back then, and we very well liked them! Also, we read them in only our shorts while walking 20 miles in the snow, uphill and downhill.

    ...I want some applesauce.

    Wait. Hold on a sec.

    Are you saying that whole list of cliches was in the first chapter?

    Holy balls - is that some sort of record?

    The first 3/4 of the chapter. There was still room for more. The first chapter is massively long, probably in the 10-12,000 word range and they get much shorter from there, probably 5000 each after. I'm guessing; I didn't do a word count or anything. So, yeah. That's probably why the other chapters are so short. He ran out of cliches and had to go read more stories for ideas.

    I highly expect Merlin, a snake, a Founder's room, a harem, slut Hermione, and a whole host of others in the future of this fic.

    It's a blushing cat, with the body consisting of a bar of pink soap, farting a rainbow.

    ...

    What else does it look like?

    Fuck you, you actually made me listen to Winning again -_-

    On a related note, the last mentioned fic here indeed continues plucking points toward most clichés ever put in a single story.

    Including, but not limited at;
    Narcissa switching sides, taking the Malfoy fortune with her to protect her son
    "Cousin Narcissa" guiding the fledgeling politician!Harry
    Veela Charm immune Harry
    Oh my god my hair can not be tamed, eet just looks like sex. -_-

    I just found this on FF.net. Have some bad cliche like Wrong!BWL and stuff, but not that bad... I'm kind of drunk right now, so I will give a better review once I sober up...

    2 bottles of tequlia, 2 bottles of Volka, 1 bottle of whisky, Cognac and some other shit.. I dunno what I have drunk today...

    Oh hell no. Check the Almost Rec thread - it started off not absolutely horrible, but quickly descended into an unreadable state. Shitty Veela love bonds and some horrible crap about this Japapense samurai. Save yourself the trouble and the eye rape by skipping this one.

    But, I'm very glad this thread was revived again. Does anyone have any new stories to share?

    Hey, Deprived wasn‘t that bad. Not very good, but not bad either. Easily under “guilty pleasure“ category.
    Or maybe I haven‘t seen Harry/Fleur for so long that I readily accept anything that isn‘t garbagge.

    Republic21 has a point.

    Which means you should disregard it as it's republic21.

    Steps Towards the End was recently updated and had a decent H/F segment, and I feel it should have been the main pairing. Oh well.

    I concur. The only real downside is that the Author writes at a glacial pace...

    ... not that I have any room to talk.

    ...

    Yeah, I'm going to go write now.

    I think scary said why it took so long to update, if you look at when the other dates were, he's hardly glacial. Anyways, I'd love to see more Fleur/Harry, as it's one of my favorite pairings. When I actually look for pairings, it's this, Harry/Romilda, and Harry Cho.

    Remember when calling Harry/Tonks Honks was normal? Decent H/T writers don't do that anymore... do they?

    Ugh ... this is so much garbagge, for a variety of reasons. Most of them having to do with Assassins Creed lore.

    I haven't particularly read a lot of fics with this pairing, though I do enjoy it. So, I don't know if there's a fic kind of like what I'm looking for but...

    Are there any Harry/Fleur fics where Harry falls slave to her Veela aura? I'm talking Fleur abusing it like it's Amortentia, and controlling Harry through his desires for her.
