I'm not a fanfic fan (that doesn't sound right, but i'll go with it) at all with 1 exception -- The Thing fanfiction by Peter Watts brought new dimensions of depth to a great horror movie. Harry Potter & Methods of Rationality is the second exception I've added. If the scenes between Fawkes, Harry, and Dumbledore don't make you tear up a bit, you aren't human. I didn't even like the original Harry Potter stories (for many reasons that get addressed in HPMoR).
Seriously, go read the first couple chapters now. I was very pleased to find the ePub version on the author's Bio page, and promptly loaded it to my iPhone.
Unfortunately, it kind of slides downhill in the chapter 70 range, but I don't think it was possible to stay as good as it was being. Hopefully it'll pick back up (whenever updates get posted WHEN THE HELL ARE UPDATES POSTED WHY NOT NOW DAMNIT!)
