Summary: Molly interferes, Ron is a twit but gets over it, Lucius is reformed (well, a bit), Draco grows up, Ginny is a good friend (apart from recommending the shoes), Harry is a hero and Hermione has fun and spends a lot of time in a library. Snape, meanwhile, considers that he is getting his usual shit deal from fate, although to be fair, he never expected to find a family of his own.

Review:
One of the things I really like about this story is the lack of 'Americanisms' that are so prevalent in HP fic. The pace of the story is good and the dialogue is well done. The characters, aside from Molly, remain in character fairly well. Molly isn't portrayed in a very good light in this one, fyi.

After re-reading this I realized that some of my head-canon for a few of the characters comes from this story.I love finding stories that are done differently than the norm and this story fits the bill nicely. This pairing in particular is generally done with Hermione/Lucius or Hermione/Severus as the focus and later bringing the other in. This one does start with Hermione/Severus, but Severus and Lucius already have a relationship going and the three come up with an interesting arrangement that suits them all.

Title: A Californian Werewolf in New York
Fandom: Teen Wolf (with a small crossover with Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Author's Summary:
When Derek finally realizes that there's nothing left for him in Beacon Hills, he goes back to New York, gets a life, falls in love and finds his home.

Review:
It's a sweet, if somewhat implausible/wish-fullfilling AU from canon post-season two. Basically, this story is how Derek Hale got his groove back. Realizing it'd be better for everyone if he move back to New York [the implausible part], he says his goodbyes to some of the pack and returns to the East Coast. Slowly pulling his life together, he closes up the apartment he had with Laura and gets a new one and reconnects with some old friends. He's able to mourn his losses and start living again. During all this, Stiles calls wondering what happened to him, and they start communicating over the phone and via text. When Stiles visits New York to check out colleges, their long-distance friendship blossoms into romance, though they still have some things to work out.

I really loved Derek's characterization and progression. As the show's king of angst, it's fun to read a story where Derek is given a chance to heal and be happy. His relationship with Stiles is sweet and very them, and I love that Stiles says Derek has become his new normal when the supernatural in Beacon Hills becomes too much. Stiles is also very in character, but make no mistake, this is a Derek character study story, and so Stiles has a shorter (though intense) role in it. There's a fun guest appearance by Oz of BtVS, in which he plays an old friend of Derek's from his New York days.

Written as a podfic/fanfic collaboration, there is also a podfic to check out!
