The High Ground
Collection of incredible fanfics that gives "book" and even "high literature" vibes. Contains (and/or): memorable and beautiful writing style, unique ideas, good storytelling, remarkable characterisation, good character-dynamics, flawless dealing with serious issues and easy showing of lgbtq/non-comform/disabled/mentally ill (etc.) characters, sexuality and kinks which tends to be missing from media/hollywood.
(Because the list is subjective, sometimes there are stories that don't fit (my own) criteria; so they are here bc i really liked them, or they hold sentimental value to me. Maybe they were really funny.)
(Closed, Moderated)

Summary
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter walked into the forbidden forest, died, and walked out with crimson eyes as the new vessel of the Dark Lord. Since then, Hermione Granger served as an elite member of the True Order, isolating herself from other Order members and going on missions alone, not only haunted by the loss of her best friend, Harry, but Ron who had run away after the battle.
Three and a half years later, Draco Malfoy shows up with his two year old son on the Order’s doorstep seeking to switch sides. Together, Draco and Hermione are forced to deal with not only each other, but their own past and confront who they’ve become because of the war.

Summary
It’s the smell of it. Chemical. Bitter and sharp as a raw edge on metal. Just a hint of it as she passes him at breakfast — but enough to stop her dead, mid-step.
There is Wolfsbane in his tea.

Summary
The Devil is real. A sentence Chloe Decker never believed until Lucifer Morningstar burned out her skepticism with his hellfire eyes. It's a "Hell" of a reality shift, but Chloe realizes she may not have time for gradual acceptance when she discovers that one of the bodies in her most recent murder investigation isn't human. Worse still, the next target might be Lucifer. A story that begs the question: who prays for Satan? [Post-S3 finale continuation. Deckerstar.] [COMPLETE] [NEWLY POLISHED]

Summary
First year, Hermione stumbles upon a magical room in the courtyard. It is a small balcony overlooking the Black Lake. Through unfortunate circumstances, Draco Malfoy strikes a deal with Hermione. They will share the Balcony during their time at Hogwarts with lots of magical ups and downs. It takes them longer than they would like to admit to realize that they may not hate each other as much as they think.
Takes place from third year until right after the Battle of Hogwarts. Not epilogue compliant. PLEASE READ THE TAGS. This IS a wip, please bear with me.
Upload schedule: Will post a new chapter within FOURTEEN DAYS of when the last one was posted (probably)
If I am on hiatus, it will be announced, otherwise I'm just taking a long time to post :)

Summary
“Because in this bastard orphan's twenty-five years of scrapping and scraping to simply get by and survive, I clearly had the entitled, easy existence that allowed me the indulgent pleasure of learning how to dance. I envy you the dexterous mental powers that allowed you to reach such a conclusion, Laurens, truly I do.”
In which General Philip Schuyler issues an invitation to a winter's ball, and one Alexander Hamilton quietly tries not to panic. Luckily, he has friends who are willing to help him . . . very, very good friends . . . and one particularly long-suffering commander-in-chief. -

Summary
Alexander Hamilton would happily dismember anyone who badmouthed George Washington, but call him son one more time--well, you know how it goes. Lafayette endeavors to make sense of it all. (Is this a colonial thing or just an Alexander thing?) Also featuring Hamilton standing in the rain and scowling at everyone.
