We have pushing 70,000 fics and chapters on FictionAlley and while
they're uniformly good in terms of grammar and spelling, over the last
five years, our FicNifflers have specifically recommended just over
800. You can find them at

Obviously, it's almost entirely pre-DH, although they've started
recommending post-DH fics recently, too. In fact, the recs go back to
stories that predate Goblet of Fire, like WolfieTwins' Remus-centric
Call of the Wild (http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/wolfietwins/)
and Lori's Paradigm of Uncertainty
(http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/lori/).

And nearly five years ago, I updated the list of fanfic by
then-members of HPfGU (well, some are still around) on the
hpfgu.org.uk FAQ section - you can see it here:
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/faq/fanfiction.html

Somewhere among the 900 or so fics on those two lists, you'll find a
lot of great reading material. And if you're looking for something
specific by ship, character or era, you can try our advanced fic
