Summary: Saving Connor begins an AU of Harry Potter's school years, the Sacrifices Arc, where Harry's twin Connor (bearing a heart-shaped scar) is acknowledged as the Boy-Who-Lived. Harry and Connor have a loving relationship, and Harry plays the role of personal bodyguard/silent support for his brother to the hilt.
Why I like this fic: This fic is beautifully written. It's incredibly long- it took me a week to read this 3 million word monster (for comparison, it took me less than 4 hours to read DH). The OCs are well integrated- they're well rounded, and avoid Mary Sue-ism. It's probably the most angst-filled story I've read- part of the reason it took me so long is that I had to stop reading at points to keep from getting overwhelmed- hell, the bloody thing made me cry.

Saving connor series

I had to stop half way through because my anxiety problems kept driving me to panic attacks when the story would get bad- which was often.
Having said that, It was VERY well written and some day I'll finish it, when I have better control over my emotions...
