Shake Me's not bad. Not my thing, though.
As for old-crow....
All of his early works suffer from over-use of the word 'so'. For example, "I'm *so* sorry you...."
But for a quick review:
Letters and Lunches not bad, a little juvenille, but a fun read.
No Thanks as listed above. It's a much better put-together work, and one of my favorites.
Summer of Choices/Four Apprentices The first work of this pair I liked a lot more than the second, but both are a bit wacky for my tastes.
Tom and Harry One of the few post-HBP works I like.

Now, for something new, that I don't think was recommended:
DrT
www.fictionalley.org/authors/drt/
DrT's works are remarkably interesting, even though he's got a weird focus on H/L, and some tendencies I don't really get. He spends a *lot* of effort on making sure his characters don't sleep together until marriage, even going so far as to come up with technical reasons for it. He also has either a fetish, or some weird principle in that he tends to desribe the girls as being Twiggy-esque or Marilyn Monroe-like.
Edit: Additional note: DrT likes slash relationships, but not in main characters. Of note: Dean Thomas/Colin Creevy.
As for his works:
Harry and Hermione Series - This is essentially a continuation of his other work "Muggles at Bay?", in which a bunch of DE attacks get foiled by their victims. Decent.
To The Rescue Series - Long, and very odd, but a decent read. Essentially, the Wizarding UN takes the British MoM over, and screws up *everyone's* plans.
Great Minds Think Alike - One of my favorite one-shots ever.
Harry Potter and the Six Virgins - A riot, in a 'I can't believe this shit' sort of way. Basically a big deus ex machina appears out of the woodwork to nuke Voldemort, but requires some things from Harry and his friends first....--
