Fanfiction recommendations
Hi there! I am looking very specifically for fanfictions with OC as the main character. I don’t care what the pairing is, but I do want there to be a pairing.
Here are ones I really liked so you can get a good sense of what I am into character wise. I really am looking for a character who is engaging and can stand on her own.
To Be Human has one of my favourite ocs of all time. I’d die for Lena. She is beyond unique and I love myself a strong oc. She’s like Ivy down this list in that she is like uber talented in magic. Unlike ivy, however, Lena is I think a bit nicer tbh.

Lena Lestrange has spent her entire life trying to forge her own path, and not without considerable difficulty. Where this path will lead her, she doesn't know, but on the way, she will learn the lesson that she never learned in her childhood: what it is to be human.

‘The Burning of a Withered Tree’ has the best Harry Potter dynamic I’ve seen in a long time. Lyra has made me cry many times. She is literally the best. This was over 3000 pages on my kindle and yet when I reached the end I was empty inside
Summary:
The Wizarding World is on the precipice of change once more. Lives are ruined in the years leading up to it, childhoods rewritten by a single night.
✶✶✶
Lyra Black has found herself in a difficult position, torn between two futures: the one presented to her by a family that demands her loyalty and repentance, or one she'd have to build herself, alone and ostracized, but without the stain of blood purity. An already difficult choice only further complicated by the fact that the second path was so eerily similar to that which her mass murdering, blood traitor of a father took before betraying his friends and losing his freedom.
Perhaps starting her schooling at Hogwarts would make things easier. Except now Lyra comes face to face with the victim of her father's crimes daily: Harry Potter.

‘Grow Young with Me’ - genuinely one of the sweetest stories. Harry and Abby are so well matched and have such a great dynamic. Literally has my heart melting.
Summary:
He always sat there, just staring out the window. The nameless man with sad eyes. He bothered no one, and no one bothered him. Until now, that is. Abigail Waters knew her curiosity would one day be the death of her...but not today. Today it would give her life instead.

‘Poison Ivy’ has also one of my favourite ocs ever. I can’t stress enough how much I’d die for ivy Evan’s and she’s definitely let me. Cool magic system and a really unique plot. Never seen any other writer do it like this. She’s both unique, savage and very antagonistic.
Summary:
Ivy hadn't spoken to her sister in nearly two years. Addictions and pride tore apart the very fabric of a shattered family, pulled its stitching to illuminate a messy group of broken people. There was no fixing it and when Lily Evans died, there was only a note and the expectation of raising a child she does not want.
Harry Potter wasn't her concern, just a lucky sperm. Her only priority was finding out who betrayed her sister and why. Ivy Evans did not want to mourn. She did not want so much as a requiem for an abandoned child.
She will deliver no apologies, only vengeance and blood.
