Women of Harry Potter - my fics and a rec

[lyras.livejournal.com]

Great to see so much being posted here! I've written a few stories focusing on female characters in the Harry Potter series:

Lily Evans/Potter: Touch the Face of the Stars, 7,000 words, rated PG-13 with a warning for character death. Summary: Lily tries to work out what is worth living - or dying - for. This story inevitably contains some Lily/James, but it is essentially gen.

Petunia Evans/Dursley: The Exiles, 7,750 words, rated R with a warning for infidelity. Pairings: Petunia/Charlie, Petunia/Vernon. Summary: Six months into her exile in the wizarding world, Petunia meets someone who forces her to examine both herself and her relationship with her husband.

Alice Longbottom: Bright Unconquered Suns, 5,000 words, rated R for one very understated sex scene. Summary: As the dust settles after Hallowe'en 1981, Alice and Frank return to work, where they are given an unpleasant mission. Meanwhile, Alice is haunted by the fates of Lily, James and Harry.

Augusta Longbottom: The Dying of the Light, 4,000 words, rated PG-13 with a warning for upsetting issues such as memory loss. Summary: Augusta and Neville adjust to life after the attack on Frank and Alice. The ending of this is now jossed by canon.

Nymphadora Tonks: Afterthoughts, 1,000 words, rated R for sexual references and language. Summary: Post Deathly Hallows, Tonks gets a few things off her chest.

There are plenty of other stories that focus on the female characters, too, but I don't want to spam. :) Check the tags at squishedstories if you're interested.

I'd also like to recommend a Ginny genfic: We Are Tired Of Your Discipline by tosca1390. 2,240 words, rated PG-13. Summary: The feeling that she’d either kill or be killed at Hogwarts this year hadn’t left her all summer.
