I've been away from the HP fandom for several years, but after recently re-reading all seven books, I found myself being drawn back in.

I'm in the middle of a pain-staking novel that simply won't cooperate and I thought that going back to fanfiction for a while might be a nice little writing excercise to get me back on track.

I mostly enjoy darkfic, but will make exceptions for a particularly well-written bit of fluff. Other 'ships include Ginny/Harry, Ginny/Tom and Sirius/Remus when I'm in the mood for slash. I have an unhealthy fondness for Snape and will read him in just about any 'ship if it's done properly.

Memoria in Aeterna by Phabala    (Reviews - 28)

"Tom never left you, not completely. He’s just been… dormant all these years. Waiting for his chance. Hurting you in whatever way he could. Tom was a memory, right? A memory trapped in a diary. Now he’s a memory trapped in you, and he won’t let you forget.”

Comments: Excitingly dark and vivid. Wonderful little darkfic, not nearly long enough.
