victoria_anne Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Title: Jigsaw Author: @nott theodore Link to Story [& rating if Mature] : HPFT (M) Warnings [if applicable] : Domestic abuse, hate speech, self-harm, sexual content, substance abuse, suicide, violence Reason for Nomination: I've slowly been making my way through this story (sorry, Sian! ) but I'm loving every second. Sian's characters are extremely well crafted and the her twists on the world we're so familiar with make everything feel exciting and new. The mystery keeps me on the edge of my seat and though I'm nearly finished, I still don't know how it's going to end! I can't wait until I can poke her for that sequel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renacerá Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Title: Stand Tall Author: @Chelts-rhj Link to Story: here+ (A) Warnings: N/A Reason for Nomination: This is a Next-Gen story about an OC named Alba who has cerebral palsy...and just so happens to be attending Hogwarts when the Triwizard Tournament is, once again, being played. The representation in this is fantastic, and it's one of the most original stories I've ever read. As a bonus, it has a cast of characters that readers will quickly grow to love and root for. Truly, read this story! It's fantastic! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rumpelstiltskin Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Title: One, Two, Three, Open Author: BellaLestrange87 Link to Story [& rating if Mature] : +click Warnings [if applicable] : Violence Reason for Nomination: I'm super picky about reading fics centering on Draco Malfoy, so nominating a Draco Malfoy fic for SotM is kind of a big deal. This one is a canon gap-filler, exploring more about Draco and the Vanishing Cabinet. I thought that the author did a really amazing job of navigating through the piece as well as displaying Draco in a way that reveals a bit more of his characterization than perhaps what canon shows in a way that humanizes him.

just.a.willow.tree Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Title: Lucky PennyAuthor: @Chelts-rhjLink to Story: here+Warnings: n/aReason for Nomination: This is an absolutely brilliant time-travel fic that's written in non-chronological order. The writing is beautiful and incredibly smart, and it's so much fun trying to piece the story together and understand the world that's set up for us. Everyone should go read this, it really makes you think about the character and the life that she's lived as she navigates through time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felpata_Lupin Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Title: Golden Girl Author: @Crimson Quill Link to Story [& rating if Mature] : here (M) Warnings [if applicable] : violence, domestic abuse Reason for Nomination: if you've ever read anything by Abbi, you know how powerfully emotional her writing is. This is no exception. Her portrayal of Peter is wonderful and so, so original and different from anything I've seen (and I'm a bit of a Pettigrew fan, as you might have guessed... ) There is so much humanity in this (not of the most beautiful kind, but still humanity) and love and pain. You'll be glued to the screen, watching as events unravel, wishing you could stop them, but you know you can't... I'm sure you know that feeling... This story is pure gold! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
