I agree with what you say about fics that you intitially love not standing up to re-reading and there are also wips which I followed avidly and were subsequently unable to grab my attention when I tried to read from the beginning. A couple that have stood the test of time for me are Bambus' Guard...check...mate (anything by Bambu is great and I'd put the Summoning up there with my favourite wips). Quillusion's the Gift Horse and More Real than This, by Grainne. And anything by Shiv. The wips I wait patiently for updates for (apart from your's) are Pet Project, A Law to Herself, A choice of Roads and the Secret Keeper. I rarely follow new wips these days, because I've been so disappointed in the past when they fall by the wayside - and I won't touch anything that involves the MLC and non-con. There have also been other fics which started amazingly well only to turn Hermione into a teenage mother - at which point I hit the back button - sharpish. I am hoping that the new canon will give rise to some original story lines and new adventures for our favourite couple.
