What are some popular 'Harry Potter' fanfics related to abuse, mates, and cancer?

Yes, perhaps a fanfic where the concept of mates is not just a romantic pairing but a deep, platonic bond. And in this bond, one friend discovers the other has cancer. Meanwhile, they are both survivors of abuse in different forms in the wizarding world. The unique part could be how they use magic in unconventional ways to support each other through these hardships, like creating special spells for pain relief or emotional healing related to the cancer and the abuse trauma.

One possible 'Harry Potter' fanfic related to PTSD from abuse could be one where Harry has to deal with the after - effects of the Dursleys' mistreatment. In some fanfics, he might struggle with nightmares and flashbacks, and have to learn to cope with his emotions while also facing the challenges of the wizarding world. For example, he could be in a situation where a spell or a dark wizard's attack triggers memories of the abuse at the Dursleys, and he has to find the strength within himself to overcome it.

There are many great 'Harry Potter' fanfics. For example, those that focus on the friendship between the characters like 'The Marauders' Era Tales' which explore the adventures of James, Sirius, Remus and Peter during their school days. It delves deep into their pranks, their studies and how they formed their unbreakable bond.

One popular 'Harry Potter has cancer' fanfic could be 'The Struggle Within'. It explores how Harry deals with the dual challenges of his wizarding world problems and the battle against cancer. The story delves deep into his relationships with his friends, like Hermione and Ron, who support him throughout. Another might be 'A Darker Shade of Magic and Illness' which not only focuses on his physical ailment but also how it affects his magic.

One popular 'Harry Potter' fanfic with fatherly themes could be those that explore Harry's relationship with Sirius Black as a father figure. In these fanfics, Sirius often imparts wisdom and protection to Harry, much like a father would. For example, there might be stories where Sirius teaches Harry advanced magic in a more personal and nurturing way compared to his time at Hogwarts. Another could be fanfics about Remus Lupin taking on a father - like role, especially in the absence of James Potter. He might help Harry deal with his lycanthropy issues if Harry were to inherit the werewolf gene, providing both emotional and practical support.

One type of popular fanfic could be those that expand on the mystery aspect. For example, they might create new clues or theories about the Chamber of Secrets that weren't in the original book. Maybe they introduce a new character who has some hidden knowledge about the Chamber, which adds a whole new layer of intrigue to the story.

Fanfics that involve abuse are not positive or healthy reads. I would recommend avoiding any such fanfics altogether as they can be disturbing and not in line with the original positive themes of the 'Harry Potter' series.

Another one is 'A Black Comedy' which focuses on the Weasley family in a humorous and heartwarming way. It shows their daily lives, family dynamics, and how they interact with other characters from the series in a new and engaging light.

One popular theme is their Quidditch adventures. Since both are closely associated with the sport in the original series, fanfics often revolve around their experiences on the pitch, like big matches or training sessions. Another theme could be leadership, as both have led the Gryffindor Quidditch team at different times. They might face challenges together related to leading the team and making it successful.

One popular Harry Potter fanfic is 'The Life and Times' by Jewels5. It delves deep into the Marauders' era, exploring the lives of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew in great detail. Another is 'Manacled' which presents a darker, more complex take on the wizarding world post - Voldemort's rise. 'After the Battle' is also well - liked as it focuses on the characters rebuilding their lives after the final battle in Hogwarts.
