Rec list for all the tropes :)

[snowgall]

Yesterday vaysh got everyone on a Trope Meme kick, which was tons of fun. And then in a comment thread, she went and said:

"It would actually be fun to make rec lists of fics to go with the trope. It would take ages, though. :)

So you know me. If Vaysh makes an off-hand comment, I'm tempted to go do the thing :) (see: Who Tops More?)

So I went through the original list of 28 tropes and tried to find a representative (and awesome) HD rec for each one, while also trying not to duplicate any fics. But I decided that the original list was inadequate.

• Some tropes needed to be renamed to more clearly fit HP (e.g. "High School/Uni AU" --> "8th year")
• Some tropes needed to have subcategories within the trope (e.g. "Vampires/Werewolves AU" --> "Creature!fic" --> Veela, Werewolf, Vampire, etc.)

Once I did that, however, I felt like too many good fics were not being represented, so I added a bunch of additional HP tropes (second list at the end). All in all, I've recced 66 fics from 56 authors!

And even after all of that, there are still 4 tropes from the list that I could not think of any recs for:

• Coffee House AU/Food Service AU
• Fake Out Make Out
• Incest
• Selfcest

"Incest" and "Selfcest" really don't make sense for HD, but if anyone has good recs for the other two, let me know! (Coffee House AU is just not my thing, and I couldn't think of any examples of Fake Out Make Out :)

And also let me know if you think I missed any important tropes or fics that should have been recced instead

It was a bit of a mini-challenge to myself.

and you did a really great job, it's an awesome list!

For a moment yesterday, I considered doing this, one fic for each trope but I quickly gave up, lol. I didn't think I could come up with an example for some of the tropes I dislike or don't like much.

I just asked because I got excited and like you I love getting recs too. You probably have already read these though. :)
for hurt/comfort: Vale Sanare by RurouniHime and As Souls From Bodies Steal by Femme

for amnesia: The Tender Things by tryslora and Sleeping Dragon by Omi_Ohmy
