I'm taking fics for this list where Harry is chosen by a phoenix.
- No badly written or obviously abandoned fics.
- No WIPs with less than five chapters written.
- For fics where Harry himself is a phoenix (as his Animagus-form), please refer to my other list, Magical and multiple Animagus forms.
- I might add a third category for fics where Harry has an outstanding relationship with Fawkes - even though Fawkes stays with Dumbledore.
1) Fawkes chooses to live with Harry
(Either because Dumbledore died or because he went dark.)
2) Harry has a phoenix other than Fawkes
When you rec stories for this list, please don't leave just a link. To put them up in this list I particularly need a summary and what phoenix has chosen to live with Harry (and why if it's Fawkes). Status (WIP, Complete, Hiatus, Abandoned or One-shot), pairings (if there are any) and Rating would help as well!!!
Thanks. :-) And thank you everyone who contributed to this list.

Hmm. Another list where I've read loads & can't remember which they were! Lol.
The only I've read recently enough to remember is Katling's new story, An Unhurried Sense of Time (Fawkes goes to Harry). She's not yet up to the five chapters you require though.
As always, if I read one that fits, I'll come comment :)
Lanta.
July 25 2006, 17:16:03 UTC 5 years ago
I was so convinced I knew tons of fics that fit this list but suddenly I couldn't think of most of them anymore myself either...
July 25 2006, 17:20:03 UTC 5 years ago
Yeah, I understand why you have the 5 chapters rule, lol. Just keep in mind that Katling's fic will qualify in the future. I'll try and remember to come post when she posts her fifth chapter.
Well, there *are* tons of fics that fit, it's just remembering which they are! Lol. I'm sure lots of people will rec things to you.

An UnHurried Sense of Time
Right now, it is at chapter 7July 17 2008, 14:35:27 UTC 3 years ago
July 25 2006, 17:06:48 UTC 5 years ago
Except for mine. Facing Backwards is a pre-HBP, Harry-and-Co-as-fortysomethings fic in which Fawkes has become Harry's bird...
July 25 2006, 17:18:08 UTC 5 years ago
Hadn't heard of your story yet. Will include it and have a look at it. Thanks. :)
July 25 2006, 19:48:41 UTC 5 years ago
Um... Eek? Didn't mean it that way! Cross-species slash isn't exactly my thing! XD
The fic is about 70K words, fyi... and I'd love to know what you think. It's the opposite of Super!Harry, for what it's worth.
July 25 2006, 20:48:01 UTC 5 years ago
Actually it's not slash, I think. Considering that Fawkes lays an egg afterwards, I just assumed that Fawkes in that fic is simply female. But well, such pairings - while amusing occasionally - aren't quite my cup of tea either. ;)
Okay, will tell you once I've managed to do more than take a glance at the prologue. :)

Shiny and Blue
By Der Monstrahl
Harry lands in 1957 with new powers and a job at Hogwarts. How will he interact with the young Dumbledore figuring out how to be the fearless leader of the light, and a Tom Riddle who hasn't quite figured out how to be evil? Slash. New chapters!

Harry finds Fawkes' egg in the department of mysteries and THEN goes back in time... so according to this fic, Fawkes was always Harry's familiar first. Then belonged to Dumbledore during cannon.
