... What they said.

Knew I should have expanded on that summary, but was tired.

You have been here entirely too long to try and pull that sort of n00bishness.

He could just put it in his signature if it's not allowed; heck, I'll recommend it myself if it's still good after it has reached its major divergence point.

So, I will warn you, this story is technically slash, but it's pretty damn lowkey about it- it's mostly ignorable. To be honest, it reads more like a bro!fic where the two bros keep reincarnating and each time then have a 50/50 chance of rolling either gender, and after the first few thousand years they just rolled with it while still hating each other immensely.

Harry and Tom's souls are tied together. Which is why they're in this endless loop of rebirth. At some point, they stopped caring and just started fucking with people. (slightly crack AU w/ some seriousness) MoD!Harry, kinda soulmates!TMRHP

Story starts by them actually being reincarnated into their original selves for the first time.

Also it's fucking funny.

That's good to hear. TFF has mellowed out a lot over the years, but I kinda half figured I'd get roasted for posting slash :p

I've been this mellow since before I joined TFF (which was in 2014). If it had been the 'me' of 2010, on the other hand.... :sisi:

I usually don't like slash when it doesn't make sense.

Like, we know Harry is no homo, so why make him one ? You want some homo stuff for unknown characters ? Sure, just put a warning and if there's no porn, nothing will stop me from reading it.

In this case, if you what you said about it is true, then it could probably happen. Because the only person you could make a connection with would be the other guy. Hope there's no porn though. But because we aren't in the NSFW section, I should be good.

Yup. No porn in his recommendation.

Edit: Agreed. And they don't even have the dignity to make the character bisexual. >.>

I guess the thing is, it's just -- not very good?

I mean, it felt half-hearted, like the author couldn't be bothered to write a real plot, and just cheated so there could be a bunch of smart-ass oneliners.

The first few chapters are fine, but yes, it kind of fizzles out from then on. Still, overall, I liked it - it's supposed to be crack with little plot, after all.

Yeah, a serious read it is not.

Yep. Just rolled with it. Followed it just to crack a smile in the morning if there's an update, but I'm not on the edge of my seat.
Still worth a rec 'cause at least it's fresh IMO.

Empty Land by esama

After Ginny is jailed for dosing Harry with love potions, Harry tries to get his life together... and must deal with the potential fall-out concerning his kids.

(Comparisons between Riddle and the Potter children, mostly.)

I quite like esama's stories in general, and this is a good one. If only it hadn't included the Ginny using Love Potions on Harry cliche.... :unsure!:

./shrug Honestly, I could see it having happened in canon. Monster in your chest? Inexplicable, very strong attraction to someone you were consciously not at all interested in? Losing interest almost exactly two weeks later?

Then again, I've always said the last few books are terrible, pairings included.

Yeah, it's mostly Rowling's carelessness and reduced quality of writing that gave people like those from DLP such openings. :sick3:   :(

Still better pairings than in Naruto, though. :snigger:   :sick2:

So I'm not recommending this story at all, I just need to get this off my chest. I just found a story that does the whole 'you've died six times, we're sending you back' shtick.

OK, overdone, not a dealbreaker.

Harry/Hermione. Creepy what with the mental age difference, but I've seen it done well enough before where the pairing doesn't truly start till mid 20s, or where they both get sent back, so not a dealbreaker, let's see where this goes.

Harry wants reincarnated into the body of a freed Dobby as one of his conditions for going back.

Err, what?

Wait, this is STILL PAIRING-CENTRIC?! And there's a SMUT WARNING!?

NO. No. NO.

Isn't there a "Stories you wish you could destroy" for Harry Potter?
We should make one!
