bryoneybrynn is a freekin' genius for many reasons. But in this post I am talking about her lovely idea of requesting people's top three H/D fics of the past year. The resulting list
is an incredible compilation of recs.I think it is brilliant! So brilliant that I am going to steal the idea and say,
list me your three favourite Next Gen Fics of the past 12 months. By Next Gen, I mean that at least one main character must be a Next Gen kid (this includes: gen, slash, het, cross-gen).
ETA: For simplicity,
faynia and I have decided to make this list AS/S-less.
So, please no Albus/Scorpius recs.
The ASS-only LIST IS HERE! And there is plenty of delish non-ass next gen to pick from.
A few fests to remind you of:
hp_nextgen_fest,
hp_cross_fest, there were also next gen fics in the
hp_yule_balls and
hp_springsmut.
Here's a header to use for your recs:
Feel free to pimp!

Summary: Teddy had been clean for barely thirteen weeks the night Albus landed on his doorstep, reminding him of everything he'd tried to leave behind. It's hard to mourn a loss when you can barely acknowledge it's happened. It's even harder when you think you're responsible for it.
Rating: R
Warnings: Substance abuse. Grieving after a major character death. Albus is 18.
Pairing Teddy/Cedric
Title: Rise From the Ashes

Summary: Muggles have an old saying: "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it." Teddy never quite grasped the meaning, until he made a wish of his own.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Under 17s engaging in sexual relations.
Pairing Scorpius/James/Teddy
Title: Scorpius Malfoy's Very Bad Week

Summary: The company of Gryffindors was bad enough. The company of naked Gryffindors – a Potter and a werewolf spawn, no less, and totally unasked for, thank you very much – was outrageous. The company of naked, muscled Gryffindors claiming a sodding Muggle prophecy device had foretold his seduction was just too much to take. All things considered, Scorpius Malfoy really was having a very, very bad week.
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Consensual sex among people aged 16, 17 and 24.
I could easily have picked three stories from Lee on this one. ;-)
