Themed list: religion
Posted on November 7, 2007
Filed Under HP themed lists |
This is the list of fics where religion plays a big part, for Sabriel who gave me months and months of paid LJ time :)
What I take:
- only the so-called major religions, like Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam. Not that I mind other religions or beliefs, but in this case major religions is what I’m interested in, so don’t flame.
- fics where any character becomes a monk/nun or a priest, or where they take a big part in the communal religious life in another way.
- fics that work with religion in other ways: interpreting or using sacred texts or ceremonies and so on.
King Draco’s Code:
- no fics that work with pagan beliefs other than those incorporated into Buddhism or Hinduism;
- no witchcraft of any non-HP sort;
- no Greek/Roman myths;
- no fics featuring Heaven vs Hell battles that are reflected in Harry characters (with one exception, but it’s really different);
- no fics that speak of witch hunts (were it time-travel, AU or Founder fic) — I consider it a separate theme and tentatively hope to make a list of them — or that somebody else will.
- quotations from the Bible aren’t enough.
- Canticles (Song of Solomon) used so that the result looks like a songfic don’t qualify.
- Christmas stories don’t qualify. ETA: I’m not taking any more Chanukah stories. I took some when they were rare; now they aren’t.
- no WIPs that have only a chapter or two written;
- no drabbles;
- do not bring fics you haven’t read;
- do not bring fics you didn’t like;
- do not bring fics the authors of which show no grammar or spelling skill even if you liked them;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d be really grateful if you tell me (besides the title and author) whether the fic is a WIP or completed, what the pairings and the rating are. Suggesting fics, please, tell me *how* they qualify. I’ll be immensely grateful.
The fics are sorted in alphabetical order by TITLE (articles excluded).
Special marks:
# - liked
## - loved
NR - have not read
new - added in the last month or so

Religion is powerful. It has the power to mold worlds, form minds, lift hopes — and to dash them. Combined, you have a cadence, a perfect cadence. One man is searching for his identity — for his soul — several years after the end of the war.

How long would it take anyone to realize how much damage was done, and once it was discovered how could they ever hope to fix it?

Commandments, by Snakeling (or here)

Peter Blakeney had feared his career was at an end. Then, to his surprise came the offer of the incumbency of St Sebastian’s Church, Malfoy Intrinsica. And despite the foot and mouth epidemic, sinister carvings in the Church and all the locals changing the subject if he mentioned the Manor or its reclusive Lord, he felt he was settling in well. Until one night there came a tap at his study window, and he found himself about to discover exactly why St Sebastian is the patron saint of archers, enemies of religion, gardeners, murrains of cattle and plagues. A cosy English village whodunnit in the classic tradition, give or take an Unforgivable curse or so.”
Do Unto Others, by rosaleendhu
Snape/Jesus; PG, one-shot. Warning: It’s slash. It’s got a real, historical person in it. It touches on religion.

I just finished reading two fics, a story and its sequel, that I think would do well on this list. I liked these stories very much. They are well written and true to character.
“The Letters of Summer” and “Stories from Sixth (and Seveth) Year” by Kokopelli deal with Harry’s rediscovery of his family’s Anglican faith. The theme of religion is mentioned several times in the first story, but plays a major role in character development and motivation in the second. I found the treatment of religious and non-religious people to be respectful and even handed.
The fics are rated G-PG and contain Harry/Ginny and Lupin/Tonks pairings. They also feature an interesting original character from Dumbledore’s past who sets out to aid in Harry’s training.
Here are the links:
http://kokopelli.fanficauthors.net/The_Letters_of_Summer/index.php
http://kokopelli.fanficauthors.net/Stories_from_Sixth_and_Seventh_Year/index.php
Thank you for the work you do on these lists. I have found them to be a great source of good reading.
Thank you!
“Catechism”, despite the title, has nothing whatsoever to do with any religion. Excellent fic, but doesn’t belong in this category.
Hello. I am too tired to go hunting for urls just now, but if you go to the fourth entry in this thread: http://forums.fictionalley.org/park/showthread.php?s=&postid=1812601#post1812601, you will find links to four religious-themed fics of mine. The rest of the thread may also interest you, although I find some of the choices questionable at best.
To Sophia:
respectfully, I disagree.
To Fabio P.Barbieri: thank you! I’ve picked a couple of fics from there.

Summary: Seventh-year student Hermione Granger decides to marry the one eligible wizard who did not ask for her–the horrid but powerful Severus Snape. All is not sweetness and light. Be careful what you ask for. Or, as has been said by many a wise witch, “Marry in haste; repent in leisure.”
Just under 300,000 words.
Rated Adult/NC-17
SS/HG
A religious ceremony has pivotal consequences in the story. In addition, examination of biblical theology plays a large part. Hermione is Catholic. Several important scenes in the story take place in a church.
