HP fan fic recommendation

[Anne <urbana@charter.net>]

I don't have time to be a niffler but the recent all points bulletin 
searching for new nifflers got me reading more Harry Potter fan 
fiction on Schnoogle.com. So right now I want to recommend a HP 
serial I just read this weekend. It's called "Darkly Inclined" and 
was written by Stacy Hart. It's a very angst-y and somewhat romantic 
serial that picks up where GoF left off. Stacy does a good job 
writing the dialog "in the style of JKR" but this is a much darker 
fic (IMO) than the 4 novels have been so far. Here's synopsis info 
from Schnoogle:
Set during Harry's fifth year. Everyone in the know about
Voldemort's return is preparing for war. But there is, of course, 
romantic chaos of all varieties: Snape and his old flame, who has 
been playing dead for fourteen years; Sirius and Remus (SLASH), who 
have relationship troubles as only they can; and of course our 
intrepid trio, as they start to figure out why dating your best 
friend is sometimes a very bad idea. Pairings among the younger 
characters are fluid; the current (as of ch. 14) forecast is H/H.
  
Stacy introduces a very interesting original character who adds a 
great twist to the *hypothetical* HP backstory. And the romantic 
involvements seem very plausible to me. Anyway ... I rarely read 
stories on Schnoogle because I don't want to spend that much time 
reading fan fics, but this one really grabbed me - I started reading 
it Friday afternoon and read all 14 chapters (so far) by late 
Saturday night :) Be prepared to invest some time watching this story 
unfold -- at Chapter 14 we're only up to mid-October of fifth year!

(thinks JKR herself might enjoy this one)
