Harry Potter
Advent by madsciencechick
Adorable story of clueless!Sirius trying to figure out what to buy his friends for Christmas without asking (it's a bet, see). Funny, sweet, touching, and hot.

Alike, but not alike by La Onza
James and Sirius, discussing the future, and Sirius's relationship with Remus. Lovely.

Battle Nerves by rosemaryandrue
MWPP+Lily are on edge after a mission goes bad. Lily and Sirius wear at each other, and James just wants to shake them all. then there is some hot Lily/James sex in an alley.

Creation Myths by krabapple
Over the years, Sirius and Remus make homes for each other. Full of love and hope and quiet resignation. Beautiful. *sniffle*

If You've a Ready Mind by Maya
Draco gets sorted into Ravenclaw. Things are...different. Except that Harry is clueless as ever. Wonderfully hilarious and touching. Um, there are ten parts, of which this is the first. I'm not sure how they're organized so you can find them in her LJ... It's definitely worth the effort. ETA: and here is an index. Thank you, daisy_chan and elsie.

The Middle Man by kabeyk
*fans self* Incredibly hot story in which Sirius starts fucking Remus's girlfriend and they both get off on it, but Sirius wants more of Remus and, well, they finally figure it out and *guh*...

Taking Advice by Rin
Adorably cute Sirius/Remus story in which Sirius seeks advice from James and confesses his feelings to Remus.

The Year of Cold Feet by magnetic_pole
"I'm brave like that sometimes."

Sirius smiled. "You are. That's why they put you in Gyffindor. To show me and James how to do it." Lovely story of Remus falling in love.

The Years of the Rat by kaydeefalls
Brilliant, engrossing story of Peter Pettigrew, and how his betrayal of the Potters was a natual outgrowth of his character and personal philosophy.

Crossovers

Harry Potter/Hellblazer
Break His Fall by Jane St Clair
Remus has a favor to ask of John Constantine (comics, not movie). Sharp, bitter, smart, and sad, a great crossover making the two different worlds work brilliantly together.

Crossovers

Angel/Firefly
Her Vorpal Sword in Hand by sangerin
Lovely, sense-making, in character Cordelia/River story that picks up Cordy where she left off and drops her in a place where she can be found by the crew of Serenity.

Buffy/Firefly
Rough Heals by voleuse
Brief yet brilliant BtVS/Firefly crossover. What is a key, after all, and why should it die? Dawn lives and watches the ‘verse change.

Constantine (movie)/Harry Potter
Jacking Gehenna by Mirabella
Hot, brutal, brilliant Constantine/HP crossover. Harry has one last thing to finish off, and only Constantine can help him. (John Constantine/Harry Potter)

Firefly/Sandman
Nights of endless conversations by Fahye
Utterly brilliant Firefly/Sandman crossover. Jayne and Destruction, Mal and Dream, Inara and Desire - it's all so perfect. And then the last little moment of lucidity for Delirium... Absolutely awesome.

Firefly/Stargate: Atlantis
The Big Bang and Everything After by cgb
This is so River it hurts, beautifully. I read this on the strength of my love for River and my confidence in cgb's writing, because all I know about Rodney McKay is that he's a scientist and a bit of an ass, but in this story, he's a man lost in a strange and distant future, and River is so perfectly River, and they have a meeting of the minds over mathematics. Poignant and sharp.
