A majority of these are gen, multi-chapter fics with a heavy plot- there are some oneshots, light, fluffy plots, and/or romances. Assume there are no pairings unless otherwise stated. None of these are crossover (I will be making a separate thread for HP crossovers) and the highest rating on any of these is a T from FF.net. Also, not all of these are completed. Some of the authors haven't updated in years, but please, don't let that deter you from reading.
Keep in mind that these are my personal tastes, but these are some of the best HP fanfics I've come across, so I hope you enjoy!
(The first fic is truly addicting and phenomenal in my opinion. It is the most reviewed Harry Potter fanfiction and the name of this site will make a lot more sense after you read it. However, this can give you a headache if you read too much in one sitting lol.)
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Harry Potter and the Temporal Beacon (Currently reading)

Minimizing new powers, just making good use of existing ones.
