Author's Website: n/a

Author's Summary:
A year after Harry graduates from Hogwarts and the Light's last stand against the Dark is near. A curse goes wrong that, though it does win them the War, leaves serious repercussions for everyone.

Review:
I don't know how many people have read this since it's not particularly well-known and the author isn't one of the BNFs in HP fandom. This is a story for people that want something different. The story itself is told from three POVs, including Harry's. Don't let the POV-switching scare you away; the use of this refreshing writing style allows the reader to experience the same event (i.e. the war against Voldemort) from different perspectives and realize that everyone's perception is unique.

In this story, there's more to Harry and Voldemort's shared link than old-fashioned nightmare. They talk, exchange life stories, and become something more than mortal enemies. This story may seem somewhat dated these days since it was written before the books 6 & 7 came out, but I think it will be well worth your time.

This seems to be the author's website, but Ashes to Ashes is not archived there.

Heh. At this point I have to admit that I've only put two stories up on my website so far:)

Thanks!

I was curious about this fic, so I went looking for it. The geocities link above is no longer valid, but I googled and found the fic mirrored at FF.net:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1663484/1/Ashes_to_Ashes

The author's profile page says she will be posting "the adult" version of the fic elsewhere, but the FF.net version and this epic-recs post are the only relevant results from google.

Given the last time a new chapter was updated at FF.net for any of the author's fics is Jan '09, and the profile page doesn't have an updated date, I'd guess we're left with this version of the fic. Better than nothing, no? ^^
