Follow-up on this: anybody have links for badass new-ish Harry Potter fic?

And by new-ish, I mean, "Anything posted after 2003."* And by badass, I mean, Death Eaters or shape-shifting or magical theory or the destructive legacy of magical inbreeding or Grindelwald or the House of Black or Tom Riddle as a hungry orphan or Diagon Alley or unicorns or magical wardrobes or Bellatrix, coming to believe in the family tapestry, or Remus Lupin, starving in the years after James and Lily die and before Dumbledore tells him to come back to Hogwarts. You know. Stuff. Harry Potter stuff. That's badass.



* Oh my God, I can't believe that I'm still in fandom.

Recs that may not be badass at all

I'm not known for my badass tastes in fic, so this is the best I can do.

Old Country, by astolat. SPN crossover; Sam/Dean. (Caveat: The sex, IMO, borders on nonconsensual, but it's skippable, and the rest of the story is too great to miss.)

Transfigurations, by resonant8. Harry/Draco. A lot of cool magical theory.

On the Subject of Evil Plans and the Overtaking of the World, by lalejandra. Hermione/Draco. May be more snarky than badass?

Close Enough, by helenish. Harry/Ron. May be more angsty than badass?

And since I'm here, I think my story This River Runs Red (SPN crossover, various pairings) is pretty badass, but it's preceded by several decidedly unbadass prequels.

Oh! There are these two (to be read in that order), which -- if I'm recommending anything having a lot to do with Malfoy, you'd better believe it's good.

Also this one, which you might or might not have seen already -- the post date is 2004 -- but which is. well. really just astonishing.
