Ah ha! Finally escaped the Avatar universe. I now bring you some Harry Potter ladies. If you want to see any recommendations from a particular fandom or pairing, let me know!

Crazy Little Things by dreiser ( dreiser7) summary: “ Little by little, in her own unusual way, Luna Lovegood begins to romance Hermione Granger.”

My thoughts: It’s been quite some time since I’ve read this piece, so forgive me for the hazy details. But what I will say is that this is one of the very, very rare fics that I have read more than once. So you know it’s definitely amazing. 

Post Deathly Hallows, we have Hermione pursuing higher magical education. She finds herself meeting with Luna at the same university and in a difficult and exclusive program for healers. It surprised her, knowing the way Luna’s mind worked, but as they continued to hang out she became more and more aware of the intelligence that Luna contains. 

Probably one of my favorite things about this work was the author staying true to Luna’s personality. I have read works in which they played off Luna’s peculiar behavior as a coping mechanism or a fake attitude. Here, her unique self is preserved and still as wonderful as ever. She continues to talk about the creatures that no one else around her seems to see and eventually Hermione comes to notice that the world Luna sees might not be just a fantasy after all. 

The characters have depth and I love that. Hermione is with Ron and she makes mistakes. Ron isn’t just some bad guy. Luna isn’t always happy-go-lucky; she also has fears and secrets. They change and learn and make messes and clean up these messes. It’s an overall well written work that should be read. 

This is a complete work.
