284 is enough - NEW new fic rec thread
Re: The Birthday Present
This is a Potter story, started before HBP was published. Harry has a good summer with the Dursleys thanks to Petunia slipping everyone a potion, Snape gives Harry a pensieve full of unpleasant memories for a birthday present, and someone dies.
It's pro-Snape, but all the characters are fairly sympathetically drawn - fundamentally decent, but humanly fallible - apart from Voldemort and Vernon. The plot has a nice mix of intrigue, action, and quiet moments.
The author says they have an 800 page first draft of the story, which is being expanded as they release it, so it's likely to be completed. It doesn't look like it's at the half-way point yet.

The Birthday Present
