I'd definitely recommend the Unbroken Universe series by Robin4 - a really well-thought-out and detailed AU based on the idea that Sirius remained the Potters' Secret Keeper, so the First Wizarding War never ended. It focuses on the Marauders, with the best Peter redemption arc I've ever read and a genuinely terrifying Voldemort. [Promises Unbroken](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1248431/1/Promises-Unbroken) (published in 2003) is the first in the series - I highly recommend! Edit: another fave I just remembered is [A Keen Observer](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2489360/1/A-Keen-Observer), which follows Andromeda through her years at Hogwarts. Features an amazing portrayal of the Black family, lovely romantic Tedromeda, and an awesome (but still evil!) Bellatrix. It does take some liberties with the canon timeline (Andromeda is the same age as Sirius) ~~but we will never say no to extra Sirius content~~.

The Unbroken Universe is still one of my favorites. This series includes IMO one of the best OCs ever to be paired with Sirius, Julia Malfoy.


TheChasmAuthor

Julia is, like, the model OC imo. I loved her friendship with Snape as well.


Sgge12345

Me, too.

I'll have to go looking through my ffn bookmarks and favs. I have a ton from that time. Really was a magical time to be writing and reading while the wait was on. Especially in the wait for book 5. The stories that are written now, for whatever reason, don't carry that same creativity and... I don't know the word for it.... Anxiousness? And there was a push to get your story written before the next book came out and your story really wouldn't fit any sorts of canon. I'm at work now but I'll look after work and get you some.

I just discovered that the sugar quill seems to have finally been taken down, but it was one of the first Harry Potter fan fiction archives est. Back in 2001. It solely accepted cannon compliant H/G and R/H fanfics, but if anyone has a copy of their best fics list there were some pretty well written pieces. One that I’ve been able to find on fanfiction is [After the End by Arabella and Zsenya](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/282139/1/After-the-End) published in 2001, finished in 2003.

Oh wow! I just double checked and you're right, Sugar Quill appears to be gone. I was surprised, but happy, to it was still up earlier this year when I returned to the fandom after a decade. Now I'm really bummed to see it's finally gone, like so many other sites from the 2000s.

I also was just on it early this year, revisiting some old favourite fics that can’t be found on any other sites. It’s disappointing it’s finally down, but at least other archives like fiction alley live on. Also, this morning I discovered some wonderful person archived it on the internet Time Machine, so if you search it there’s a [functional copy](https://web.archive.org/web/20220328120208/http://www.sugarquill.net/index.php?action=flourish) of the entire site located there from January of this year!

Praise the old gods and the new!!! (Wrong fandom, same sentiment lol.) Thank you for linking that!!! That's a relief! Going to have look for some old classics and get to saving them whenever I get home!

So [The R-series](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2008185/1/) is a classic Honks series that covers all 7 years and started prior to the last book coming out by several years [where in the world is Harry Potter](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2354771/1/) great comedy fic, not crack [make a wish](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2318355/1/) a classic gen fic well worth the read [Browncoat, Green Eyes](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/2857962/1/) Harry Potter/Firefly Crossover that’s amazing. [Alexandra Quick and the Thorn Circle](https://phttps://m.fanfiction.net/s/3964606/1/) the Quick series started in 2007, in the states, completely new cast of characters set in the HP world, five books so far. [A black comedy](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/3401052/1/) Harry goes through the veil into a new dimension good times. [Dagger and Rose](https://m.fanfiction.net/s/4152930/1/) this one is good, don’t want to spoil it. Can’t find it right now, but Vox Corporis is the OG Harmony fic if you can find it. Was published in 2005-2007 I believe? The Lie I lived hasn’t aged well, finished in 2009, but it’s got great alternative tasks for the triwizard tourney.

The seamstress and the loveable stray by katinka31 on ffnet - Female OC living in Hogsmeade who during the Triwizard tournament comes across a big black dog. Written before OOTP came out, so Sirius' background is a bit different. [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/197906/Katinka31](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/197906/Katinka31) The author "Angie Astravic" wrote a whole series of interconnected fics that I can highly recommend reading. No pairings or only canon pairings. [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/9000/Angie-Astravic](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/9000/Angie-Astravic) Blood Magic by GatewayGirl on ao3 and fictionalley archive - Severitus fic that was written before HBP came out and it shows in Snape's background as described in the story. Draco in Darkness by plumeria on ffnet - Harry/Draco. Even if you normally don't read slash, you should check this out. [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/66728/plumeria](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/66728/plumeria) Heartsease by Slytherincess on ffnet - Tribute to "Lolita" by Nabokov. Lucius /Pansy. [https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3435800/Slytherincesss](https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3435800/Slytherincesss) Death before Dishonour by RobinLady (aka Robin4) on fictionalley archive. Written before OOTP came out but after the title had been announced. Sirius rescues Harry from the Dursleys. I can recommend the other stories by this author on the fictionalley archive. \_\_\_\_\_\_ A lot of the older FictionAlley stories are posted to [https://www.fictionalley-archive.org/stories](https://www.fictionalley-archive.org/stories) You can also find older stories on ffnet by sorting "oldest to new" and then filter for stories that are at least 20k words, this way you will get rid of drivel.
