Fanfic rec: The Way I See It (Harry Potter fandom)
The Way I See It by Minisinoo
I don't really read HP fanfic much anymore (still enjoy the books, just not in a fannish place for the series as a whole), but in the course of doing research for one of my original projects, I stumbled upon this lovely short piece -- a Hogwarts student's paper (with framing narration) that compares the European magic system with the Native American magic system. I know this summary makes it sound very dry, but it's not at all; it's a lovely and detailed comparison of two very different magical cultures. You don't really need familiarity with the Harry Potter universe to understand the story, aside from a general knowledge of the basic premise for the series (although this story has spoilers for books 4 and 6).
