"Reverse"—Dramione and evil AU swept into one! by

Link if you're curious.
"Reverse" is weakly written at points, I'll admit, but it's by far the best Dramione AU I've ever read. The premise is that Hermione, during the Battle of Hogwarts, gets hit by a spell and wakes up in an alternate universe where the good guys are the bad guys, the bad guys are the good guys, and Muggle-lovers are subjecting the more traditional wizarding world. It's pretty decent (though I'll admit there are a few moments that make me roll my eyes) but it's far and away the best example of this genre of Potterfic I've seen. Highly recommend and it's made me genuinely tear up a few times. TW for abuse, violence, and gore.

Here's another Tolkien one: Girl falls into Middle-earth and becomes the Tenth Walker by

JunoMagic/satismagic's Lothiriel manages to do "Girl falls into Middle-earth and becomes the Tenth Walker" in a canon respectful manner.
It does use the "Westron is English" convention, but other than that, I can't recall any canon issues and in light of how good the story is, I can ignore it. It even manages to place her as the Tenth Walker in a logical manner - Gandalf suggests sending nine and one walkers, to quote directly from the story, "A counterpart to the nine riders foul and black, and one on top, a sign of hidden strength we may yet possess."
There are also some formatting issues in earlier chapters, but they aren't so bad as to make it unreadable.

*Miraculous Ladybug* saltfics are definitely hit-or-miss by

On one hand, that sweet, sweet catharsis from the pain caused by questionable writing in the show. On the other, 75% chance of Alya in particular being wildly OOC, nevermind the fics that possess basically the entire class as well, and strong overtones of victim blaming.
For good saltfics, see: basically any of the ones quicksilversquared has written. For a particular fic, Lies We Tell (Ourselves) by MiniMinou is a (wip) deconstruction/reconstruction of your usual bad saltfic.

Snape teaches sex ed. by

Does the thought horrify you? It should! In this fic by Luna LoveWell, Snape isn't happy about it, either, and he's his usual abrasive self throughout. The situation is played for comedy, and it works. ^_^ May be considered NSFW and the post wants you to be 18+ to view it, but IMO, if you've had sex ed yourself, you'll probably be okay. No promises regarding the comments, though.

That definitely sounds like something that would be HARD to do well. I'll make sure to check it out, then.

THE CLASS, about the Animorphs getting sex ed from a Yeerk-infested Chapman. It's exactly as funny as it sounds—and I'm pretty sure you've read it before, Nesh, but I'm hoping someone who hasn't will get a kick out of it. :D
