Themed list: canon characters have children
Posted on November 11, 2007
Filed Under HP themed lists |
Part of the Family Life arc (more lists of the same arc can be found via the gateway of themed lists).
Here is part 2 of childhood fics: fics where canon characters have children/grandchildren.
Go to: Part 1 where we can see the childhood of canon characters.
Many thanks to strchsr for the help with checking broken links!
What I take:
- our theme is children. I can’t emphasise it enough. I accept fics where a child is a subject and not just an object, be it of parental affection, tuition, or anything else. We should see his/her character in action, we should see him/her play, speak, be ill, cause mischief etc. We should see personality!
- a child should if not be the main theme of the fic then at least take a big part in it.
- age limitation is 11 years. I’m ready to make exceptions for the fics where somebody’s children are at Hogwarts but in this case I must be absolutely certain that a) children are the main focus of the fic; b) it’s not a typical Mary Sue plot where “Snape’s daughter enters Hogwarts and then has wonderful adventures there”. I’m warning you that I won’t accept it unless a big part of it is devoted to the backstory of Snape’s parental care. So better don’t even try them, or if you do, you’ll have to convince me that I should take it.
- het, slash, gen are OK.
- adopted children fit, too, and just OC children as well.
- Important: I’m not taking fics with epilogue generation children.
Won’t do:
- if a child is just an object, if we can’t see his/her personality. So, NO MPreg fics where all we can see of a baby is how it’s fed or how its nappies are changed. Such fics go to the MPreg list.
- no fics where we are just told that characters have children or where we can only briefly see them enter the scene and leave it.
- absolutely NO Mary Sue!
- no “Severitus fics” because, since they involve Harry’s childhood, they are likely either already in the first part of this list or on Enahma’s list of completed ‘Severitus fics’.
- no WIPs that have only a chapter or two written;
- no drabbles;
- do not bring fics you haven’t read;
- do not bring fics you didn’t like;
- do not bring fics the authors of which show no grammar or spelling skills even if you liked them;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d be really grateful if you tell me (besides the title and author) whether the fic is a WIP or completed, what the pairings and the rating are, and whose children it’s about.
Special marks:
# - liked
## - loved
NR - have not read
new - added in the last month or so
These are NOT my recs; it’s just a themed listing.
Fics are sorted in alphabetical order by TITLE (articles excluded, i.e. The Lost Son is placed under ‘L’).

Sequel to Anger Management and second in a trilogy.” We get to meet Remus Lupin’s son Matthew.

Autumn’s Gift, by momma_dar
PG-13/R; discontinued WIP. Summary: “17 year old Harry Potter returns for his seventh and final year at Hogwarts trying to cope with the suspcious death of his girlfriend, becoming a father to his 3 month old son, and dealing with the continued threat of Voldemort and his Deatheaters.”

Betrayed, by Katydidnt NR
PG, long. Summary: “In his fifth year Harry Potter was framed for murder and sentenced to Azkaban. Ten years later his innocence is proven. What will Harry do? Written Pre-OotP.” The main part of the story is from the POV of Harry’s eldest daughter, Courtney, as she starts at Hogwarts. Harry has completely cut himself off from the Wizarding World and has changed his whole identity so Courtney is totally unaware that she is the child of a famous wizard. The story also has in it the presence of Courtney’s younger brother, Michael and a number of other children of canon characters who are students at Hogwarts at the same time as Courtney.
Birthday Surprises, by Lolly Phoenix NR
Gen (?), PG. Novel-length. Summary: “Harry receives a rather unusual 17th birthday present from the Headmaster. A present that changes anything and everything.” Harry takes care of baby triplets.

Consists of: Harry Potter and the Bound Prince, Harry Potter and The Secret Keeper, Harry Potter and The White Queen, Harry Potter and The Beloved Incubus, Harry Potter and The Serpent King, and Harry Potter and The Dragon’s Treasure. Harry/Draco, NC-17, novel-length. Warnings: in the fic post. Summary: Our story begins with the simple premise of “what if” something changed in the bathroom scene so that Harry and Draco talked instead of throwing hexes. It also takes the assumption of unvoiced attraction between the two. Draco takes a chance and kisses Harry. Once sparked, their mutual desire and exploration becomes the driving force in the alternative ending to that of Half-Blood Prince. Draco’s “mission” from Voldemort turns out to be more complex than that presented in canon and their solution even more difficult. Books 4-6 fit this list.

While Harry wrestles with his literal inner demons, Snape makes Veritaserum cocktails. Hermione saves the world. Neville saves the day.

Hello! First of all, I just have to say I love thank you for compiling these lists. Secondly, “Parity Transformations” by Suki_blue fits the conditions perfectly.
Summary: “Eleven years since he ran from Hogwarts and seven years since the end of the war, Draco has moved on. Now in his late twenties, Draco lives a reclusive life in a tiny village in Hampshire. Never in a million years does he expect to cross paths with Harry Potter again. But he does, and there are two, rather small and rather excitable, complications.”
You may have already guessed from the summary that Draco and Harry both have kids in this fic. It’s still a WIP (currently 13 chapters), but it’s updated regularly, and I’m pretty sure it will be finished.
Oh well, I’m such a pilock. Here’s the link to “Parity Transformations”: http://suki-blue.livejournal.com/204137.html

I also have a RW/NM story that I think is good, but I don’t recall that rec list, hehe. And an OFC/OMC one I like, but anyways…
er, P.S. I’m not 100% sure if this is the right place for the story. Its not about the child so much as it is Sev having to deal with a L.D.
Thanks, I’m taking it.
