Another fic search! This one's a bit different though.

Having recently read Momenti Diversi by [livejournal.com profile] zarah5, I have yet again realized that one of my favorite premises for H/D is the fic that is set in another country. So I have decided to compile a list, sorted by country and then alphabetically, of all the fics of this genre.

If you have a favorite fic like this, I WOULD LOVE YOUR INPUT. (Self-pimping is also welcome. ^_~)

But. There are some rules.

First off, these can be one-shots, completed chapters fics, drabbles, WIPS... I don't care. Length is not the issue.

Second, I would love for the setting to play more of a role in the story than just a city/country name on a page.

Third, multiple countries are fine. For instance, something like Paris by [livejournal.com profile] abbycadabra, wherein the character's rove quite a bit, is fine. But the story must take place primarily in a different country than England. Therefore, while [livejournal.com profile] emmagrant01's Left My Heart works rather well, the sequel Surrender the Grey does not qualify.

Fourth: The fics must ALL be H/D or have H/D in them as a prominent pairing. No exceptions. If you have fics with other pairings that fit this category, go ahead and link if you must, but just know that they will not be going on this particular list.

Fifth: Time period is not an issue either. They can take place during school, after school, post-war, when Harry and Draco are 214 years old living off social security... I don't care. I do not do chan, though. As this will be my list, I reserve the right not to put chan on it. I'm going to have to be firm about this one.

Sixth: I admit to being a little... undecided over fics such as Seven Days by [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii, which take place in a setting other than England, but not in a different country per se. Most likely, fics like this will not go on the list, but I need to puzzle over it for a bit. Go ahead and link; they may end up getting their own category. ETA: These types of fics HAVE INDEED received their own category, so do not hesitate to link!

FORMAT: It would help me a great deal if you could provide me with the

Title,
Author,
Country,
and Rating


when you link. If you do not know those things or don't have time to list them right now, then the simple link is fine. My emphasis is on getting these stories together. I can find out the details on my own if I need to. ^_^

ETA: (This section will be updated as new issues arise.)
~If you would like to use this as a challenge to write a different-country H/D fic, please be my guest!!!
~AU fics are just fine.

Thank you so much for helping me out with this! It is greatly appreciated, and I will work on getting the final list up in a couple of weeks.

I never made it over to Prague. I toured France, Italy, Germany, and slipped int Salzburg, Austria in 2000, then lived in London for four months a couple years ago. But I am American, Californian to be exact.

I found London to be the same way. It was astounding to be walking down the street, to turn a corner, and come face to face with something a hundred times older than me. The Palace of Justice in London just... made my jaw drop to my ankles. And it came out of nowhere! All these sixties buildings, some nineties buildings, and WHAM. ANCIENT. It was amazing.

Those pictures are gorgeous. That stairwell reminds me of a more modern stairwell in the Vatican. But so much older. And the outside shot looks like something out of the jungles of India.

I believe that movie was called The Ninth Gate. And if that was Sintra, then it truly is astoundingly beautiful. I loved the setting in that movie.
