Fic Rec Fridays 2018 - part 23

Regulus Black and the Way Things Changed: A Not!Fic - Chapter 1 - imaginary_golux - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own]

imaginarygolux
In which Regulus, not Severus, is the Potions Master at Hogwarts, and a great many things go differently. And rather more crackily.

Told in bullet points; ignores Deathly Hallows because they annoy me.

Guys, guys, this is the most utterly brillantest thing I’ve read in this fandom for a while. And not only because it’s absolutely fucking hilarious, but rather because it’s one of those things that transcend crack; where the tongue-firmly-in-cheek what-ifs yield perfectly logical and satisfying plot twists, excellent characterizations and some very hnnnngh-worthy BAMF moments.

It says not!fic, but it reads like a fine story. And also yes, I laughed my arse off.
