selenakAnd the great Deathly Hallows inspired fic keeps coming.
Summer Holidays - Hermione-centric look at everyone after the battle. I love every bit of it, but the Narcissa-Andromeda encounter is my favourite section.
Speaking of Narcissa Malfoy, née Black, who is so my favourite of that family (actually, make that families - Malfoys and Blacks both, though I also love the late Regulus): Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow is a great Narcissa pov throughout Deathly Hallows.

New Whovians, if you're intrigued by THAT character in season 3 and want to check out that character's episodes in Old Who, here is a helpful guide. Ahem.
And fanfic again, Doctor Who this time:
Familiarity: the Doctor during that period between Sound of Drums and Last of the Time Lords.
