2 Fics and 2 One-Shots

The first one is called Kept Behind. It's one of the fics that I've read before but it was when I first started and never actually remembered to put it under Favorite Fics or put it on my list. It is rather interesting and a good read. :)

Kept Behind by LAXgirl
Summary: Harry just wants to be a normal teenager, but it seems he can't even die normally. So what's a 15 year old wizard to do when he suddenly finds himself as an incoporeal spirit no one else can see or hear except his least favorite Potions Master?
Sequel: Dark Influences
Warnings: Deals With 'Death' and Accompanying Aspects - temporarily
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete at 8 Chapters

Dark Influences by LAXgirl
Summary: Harry might have survived his ordeal as a disembodied spirit, but when the Order is jeopardized by one of its own, Harry must risk everything to save the one that once saved him... even if that person is Snape.
Rating: PG
Status: Complete at 20 Chapters

OK, this next fic should be read with caution since it contains tons of adult themes and graphic... stuff. For example, there's a stripper!Harry. It's pretty well-rounded though and has humor and such so it's a good read. If you don't like the "stripping" part, skip the first 9 chapters or so. I recommend you don't though since that takes away from the full story so either you read it all or you don't. Personally, I skimmed through most of it. (I don't even know why I read NC-17 fics sometimes. I end up doing a whole bunch of blushing and/or snorting, not to mention skimming - but some of them have good ideas for fics as a whole and is well-written.)

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy by Knightmare
Respond to a Challenge: Response to keikokin's Draco/Harry challenge: Draco and Harry have both run away from their horrid home lives, or make it post-Hogwarts and they've run away from the wizarding world. They wind up getting jobs at the same place and are forced to work together to get money. How can get along and help each other while realizing their mutual attraction? Bonus points if Lucius finds out and gives his blessing. Or they decide to go back because of MPREG, or that they want to get married. Harry is comfortable in his job, secure that he is safe from the wizarding world. Until a certain blond shows up and turns his world upside down.
Warnings: DM/HP, Stripper!Harry, graphic scenes
Rating: NC-17
Status: Complete at 22 Chapters

The next one is a one-shot that I got from a themed list on Canon characters growing old and dying. It's rather sad but it captures the topic pretty well.

The Life in Your Years by fourth_rose
Response to a Challenge: If the extended wizard lifespan isn't quite as extended for half-bloods and even less so for muggle-borns, how would this affect mixed couples? As they grow old together, they both know that one will likely outlive the other by several decades...and one may suffer the physical/mental/magical debilitations long before the other.
Warnings: DM/HP, past SS/HG, Touches the subject of death.
Rating: PG-13
Status: Complete (one-shot)

The next one I got from a themed list of Poor!Harry ranging from abuse, to various mental disorders as well as to self-mutilation and non-con (rape), and sometimes even several. This one, parental discretion is advised, yet again.

Prisonnier de Guerre by switchknife
Summary: Harry is a POW, hence the title, and speaks of his experiences.
Warnings: Abuse, heavy non-con, starvation, death
Rating: M/R/NC-17
Status: Complete (one-shot)

Well, those are some fics that cover all parts of the rainbow!
