Dark Hermione
Well, actually I've read a lot of books that aren't fanfic. But I've really fell in love with the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher recently. A couple of reviewers described the series as Harry Potter as if it were written for an adult audience. I don't know if I'd go that far as I consider HP to be written for adults, probably even more so than kids, at least the subtext...Possibly even the subtext that the author forgot or ignores she's written.

The protagonist is named Harry though...

On another note, back on the Fanfiction front, I'm really impressed with Forever Knight on Portkey. Normally, I'm a little leary of the change the main characters to Vampires/Werewolves/Giant Squids, not because I don't think it's a valid plot choice, especially in the magical realm, but that it's often done as a gimmick without using it to its upmost.

It's not in this one, this one uses the device to develop the characters, to give them depth and color. And besides, the fic has a lot of sex and violence, and both are handled and written well.

Back in my universes, which have spun onto the other side of the sun from their mother, work progresses. Except for a few inane reviews, Circle's End is doing pretty good. There are many secrets there, we'll see how many are found.
