Link to Story: click
Warnings [if applicable]:  self harm, sexual content, slurs, substance abuse 
Reason for Nomination: This fic is such a beautifully worked descriptive story,  i love how deni contrasts the night/day aspect of her fic. her main character is complex, interesting and likable. I love following erin's journey as she goes through her 20s, this story has such a wonderful narrative that deni has crafted! check this story out if you haven't already!

Title: a sister no more
Author: @lebensmude
Link to Story: Here+
Warnings [if applicable]: None
Reason for Nomination: Petunia is a character we all love to hate for how she and Vernon treated Harry, but once in a great while in canon we see a flicker of something else in her. Greis picks up with that and runs with it, writing about Petunia's reactions in the moments and then days immediately following Harry turning up on her doorstep. But what I really love about it is the difference in her reaction and Vernon's. I always wondered whether Petunia was just leading a life of quiet desperation, screaming on the inside, and this story highlights a huge disparity in her capacity for love and empathy vs her husband's.

Title: Dreams and Dragons
Author: @mymischiefmanaged
Link to Story: HPFT+
Warnings: Self-harm
Reason for Nomination: Written in dream journal entries, Emma weaves this beautiful narrative of loss and healing that will keep you hooked until the end. It's sad but sweet, with a hopeful ending. I really loved it.

Title: Three Snakes
Author: @mymischiefmanaged
Link to Story: Here+ (mature)
Warnings:  Domestic Abuse, Sexual Content, Substance Abuse
Reason for Nomination: Emma writes inclusive characters who wonderfully attack the senses. All that I could think (let's be real, shout and scream) when I finished this onehshot was "why isn't there more?" The storyline is perfectly constructed and 1/3 of the story is reserved for each character, which I love.
