A Black Comedy by nonjon | Recommended: 86 times. COMPLETE. Two years after defeating Voldemort, Harry falls into an alternate dimension with his godfather. Together, they embark on a new life filled with drunken debauchery, thievery, and generally antagonizing all their old family, friends, and enemies.
Found this one on a late night 2:00am unfiltered HP main tag ao3 browsing session, which is either a recipe for disaster or the best way to find diamonds in the rough. This was the latter. A delightfully experimental fic which uses two different styles of writing in tandem to great effect.
It is also a unicorn among these fics in that it does not have any bashing of the good guys. It is well worth checking out. Finally there is linkao3(Harry Potter and the Lack of Lamb Sauce) which takes an inherently silly premise, namely Gordon Ramsay being the sixth year potions teacher, and actually makes it work.
linkffn (4605681) Is a really good Harmony fic if you don't mind Weasley bashing. linkffn (Harry Potter and the Last Chance) Is a reaper fic where Harry is sent back from the Final Battle to the Goblet of Fire, also Harmony but really well done. linkffn (7274734) Is absolute crack and completely hilarious.
