LT2000 has a couple of workmanlike Potter fics - I like The happy Red Prince more than the other, which is a dark!powerful!harry playing all sides off the other and building his own private army on the side - but the reason I'm linking here is the Naruto fic he just started, Nine Tailed Serpent. It's a dark!powerful!naruto and of moderate quality for the most part, but carries off an intelligent, bargaining kyuubi no kitsune without forgetting that it's a bloodthirsty demon, not a buddy, even if Naruto kind of thinks of it as one, which is definately a refreshing change of pace I think. It also goes the rare path of making Kurenai Naruto's team leader, though Anko is being set up as a personal trainer to work with him while Kurena focusses on her less developed genin in training sessions. It's still barely getting started, so who knows if it'll live up to its full potential, but I think it's a reasonable start, espescially for a first entry to the fandom.
