GrangerEnchanted.com Summary:
7th year. Draco and Hermione awaken in a Muggle hotel room, naked, hung-over and tattooed. They also happen to be married. Thus begin a desperate search for a solution to their sticky situation. After all, who in their right mind would want to be married to Draco Malfoy? Surely not Hermione…
Review:
I just re-read this fic about a week ago. I liked the idea of Draco and Hermione suddenly finding themselves in a marriage, and the fact that the they had gotten marriage tattoos made the idea even more interesting. It was fun reading about how both of them were against the idea, but then coming around to it while having to deal with a Death Eater recruiter at the same time.
Something I appreciate now that I hadn't realized previously is that this it doesn't really strike me as being a Hogwarts fic. It's difficult to explain, but for me it felt more like the setting just happened to be Hogwarts, rather than making the story about the school experience.
Favorite Aspect:
The marriage tattoos were really cool, although I kind of wish there was a little bit more about them.

Pairing:
Bella/Edward
Fanfiction.net Summary:
The early 27th century - a young omnilinguist gypsy girl who creates visions with her li'lute, an alien bio-weapon struggling with his control, the Federation starship Nova, and how their lives intertwine.
Review:
This story caught my eye because it's not often I come across a Twilight scifi fic. Then when I started reading, I was really interested in the way the author managed to turn all of the main characters into different species from different planets like a sort of Star Trek cast. It's a bit odd because Bella and Edward are called Astra and Khai, respectively, rather than any of the names typical in Twilight fanfiction. If you're both a Star Trek fan and a Twilight fan, then you'll probably enjoy this.

Fanfiction.net: The Case of the Creature Kidnappings by frostykitten
Story Rating:
T/PG-13
Status:
Complete
Pairing:
Hermione/Draco, Dramione
Fanfiction.net Summary:
"What your puny mind doesn't understand, Potter, is that she does the paperwork I hate, and I do the dirty work that grates on her Gryffindor sensibilities." Hermione and Draco have been partners working in the Department for Control and Regulation of Magical Creatures for years, but their comfortable partnership is shaken up when creatures go missing and the Aurors get involved.
Review:
This was such a great combination of humor, action, and romance. I loved the build-up to the romance because it was far more realistic than many of the other Dramione romances I've read. This author is one of my favorite Dramione writers because of this, and also because of the humor thrown in. I love the banter between Draco and Hermione.
Favorite Aspect:
The way that the humor isn't completely ridiculous, but rather fitting for the story.

Pairing:
Hermione/Remus
Fanfiction.net Summary:
On the morning of Remus and Tonks wedding Hermione falls victim to one of the Weasley twins’ experiments and is accidentally thrown 20 years into the past. Only one thing remains certain, horrible things happen to those who meddle with time… RLHG
GrangerEnchanted.com Summary:
On the morning of Remus and Tonks wedding Hermione falls victim to one of the Weasley twins’ experimental inventions and is accidentally thrown 20 years into the past. Not knowing whether she will ever be able to go back to her own time she decides to start to make a new life for herself. But, what happens when she returns and her new life and old life must combine? How will she cope?
One thing is certain, horrible things happen to those who meddle with time…
Review:
Fantastic story. If you've read a million time travel fics like I have, then you know that they can get a bit repetitive, but this one definitely has its own twist (although I may be biased, since this is actually one of the very first time travel fics I ever read...). Hermione winds up becoming Remus' mate- a theme I wish I could find in more stories. Now that I'm thinking about it, I guess I wish that there was a little bit more action (of the Death Eater fighting variety), but it's still a great story. I've re-read this one several times- it's that good.
As for the maturity rating, some of the sex scenes are a bit explicit, but there aren't a huge number (only a handful). It's not overly violent or anything either.
Favorite Aspect:
The idea of Hermione being Remus' mate- that concept that people are bound on a magical level like that makes me all gooey inside.

Pairing:
Sam/Jack
Fanfiction.net Summary:
Jack/Sam AU. Earth is an Aschen colony under strict reign by an Aschen government. Only a very small percent of humans are still fertile. Samantha Carter is a young woman living in this world oppressed by Aschen. When her father arranges her marriage with his friend Jack O'Neill to protect Sam from the system, Sam runs away to join the resistance, determined to liberate Earth...
Author's Website Summary:
This is an AU (alternate universe) version of Stargate – a spin-off in writing. In the year 799 (Aschen calender), Earth is a colony under strict reign by an Aschen government. Humanity is at the brink of extinction – only a very small percent of humans are so-called gifted ones; people, who are able to still conceive/father children. Strict rules apply to the gifted ones, as the Aschen government wants to make sure that a certain number of population is being upheld.
Samantha Carter is a young woman living in this restrictive world. She is 25 years old, and that means she has just come of age and undergoes her first fertility tests. When her tests turn out positive, her life is about to change dramatically, leaving her to be forcefully married to a genetically compatible male. Unwilling to accept that, she runs away from home to find the resistance and fight for her own freedom. Finally a member of the resistance, she is stationed at a small camp in Antarctica where a second Stargate was found almost a century before and kept secret from the Aschen. Camp leader is Colonel Jack O’Neill. Unaware of the fact that a coincidence has caused them to be more than soldiers in a war for Earth’s freedom, they start to fight to liberate their world from Aschen oppression together…

Side by side, they start fighting to liberate their world from Aschen oppression using a second, secret Stargate, which was found almost a century before in the Antarctica forests…
Review:
When I first started reading this, I was a bit hesitant because it was the first truly AU Stargate SG-1 fic that I had read. However, I'm very grateful that I did! It's one of those stories that I get excited about whenever I get an alert in my inbox. I love the way that the author manages to include bits from different episodes and incorporate them into the storyline. I think she's managed to keep true to all of the characters personalities, both from SG-1 and Atlantis. There are certain story arcs that are taking a bit longer than I want to be resolved, but she's definitely filling the time with interesting stories.
In terms of the maturity rating, there hasn't really been anything yet (as of June 2nd, 2014) that justifies it in my opinion, just a few scenes charged with sexual tension.
Favorite Aspect of Story (So far):
Difficult to say... I think it's probably the way she keeps tying in some of my favorite lines from the show into the story, especially since the setting is completely different.
