crack_van for Harry Potter, I expect I will recommend more of her fics. As it is, I'm down to the last day, so I must choose just one. If you get a chance, however, check out her website or her page at the Sugar Quill for more of her excellent HP fics.
The fic I chose centers on the Weasley twins, though they appear in only the latter half of the story. Percy has been grievously injured by Death Eaters, and the whole Weasley family gathers together, hoping for his survival. Percy's previous actions and words against his family are forgotten as the family pulls together to support him. But the twins are absent. Slowly, we learn exactly what they've been up to. Percy may be a humongous bighead and a prat, but he's their brother, first and foremost.
Some fans may argue that the twins are cruel and evil. I would say they can be cruel, if they wish to be, but they are not evil. The title of this fic is one of the most creative and appropriate titles I've ever seen. Read the fic and discover why for yourself.

"They found him in an alley," her father said. "He was in bad shape--they think if it had been another hour--" His voice broke.
"Doesn’t he know better protective spells?" Bill snarled. "The stupid fool--he works at the Ministry, he should know--"
"We don’t know the capabilities of the ones who attacked him. Maybe they got around them somehow--"
Ginny laid her head on the back of her chair, trying to drain the threatening tears back into her body. It didn’t work--they escaped and trickled down cold into her hair and ears.
"Why?"
"He works at the Ministry," Charlie said. "They must have wanted information."
"Did he give it to them, Dad?"
"There’s no way to tell."
Ron said flatly, "He can’t have."
"We don’t know--" their father started.
"He can’t have!" Ron insisted. "Breaking his fingers and toes--that might have been torture, but the beating itself--I mean, this MLES wizard said was too vicious to have been anything but punishment--"
Penny made a strangled noise in her throat.
Ginny said, "Ron!"
Ron pressed his lips together, looking down at his knees. Silence fell like a muffling blanket over their little corner of the waiting room.
Ginny curled her hands around the armrests of her uncomfortable chair. With all her might, she pushed thoughts through the wall at Percy. If he was somewhere in that poor broken body, could he hear her?
You stupid arse, don’t die on us. Don’t go. I know things haven’t been perfect between us since last year, but you’re still ours and we love you no matter what you do. You stupid proud stubborn twit, we love you, we all love you, we’re all here, so DON’T YOU GO!
Maybe if they all thought it--all at the same time--maybe they could call Percy back from wherever he was--
She looked around, counting. Her parents. Penny. Ron. Bill. Charlie. The--
The twins.
Where were the twins?
Why weren’t they here?
Why would they stay away?
