#this took a while because I'm only sporadically reading perciver now as my characterisation preferences have become really picky

Perciver Fic Recs:

Note: a lot of these will be WIPs, but I think that WIPs deserve love and these are all excellent fics. This is by no means a comprehensive list, moreso canon/canon adjacent perciver fics that have characterisation that I personally adore. They will be of varying lengths - I'll identify the length + rating. There are quite a few more that fit your tastes, but I haven't read all of them (personally, I write perciver more than I read it these days).

Slow Burn at Hogwarts

My all time favourite, which is exactly the slow burn Hogwarts perciver fic you described as wanting at 200k: still in progress as the author finishes off another work that's delightful as well: good all-fashioned lover boy, rated t by @aeoneskova.

This is another WIP, currently at 27k, still well worth a read: A Lot Can Happen in Seven Years by DinoDina, rated g, who also has other assorted perciver works.

Post-canon getting together

little messed up but i'm not anymore by happynotdignified, who also has some other delightful perciver works (with a side of sibling shenanigans), rated m, 34.9k

Short summary by author: After Percy walks out of the Burrow during Christmas, 1996, he is left feeling the worst he has ever felt. A chance encounter with Oliver turns his life around over the months and years that follow.

A no-voldemort AU series by AnotherAuthor and wherearemytwenties where perciver get together as adults - Percy is a Healer and Oliver is a Quidditch player. It's relatively light-hearted and quite delightful.

From Percy's perspective: Yes, I'm a Professional, rated m, 43.6k:

Authors' Summary: Percy Weasley has been checking off boxes his entire life. Prefect? Check. Head Boy? Check. Accomplished healer? Check. Head of Artefact Accidents before he turns 30? Check.

If only his love life was as easy.

From Oliver's perspective: How to Seduce Your Healer by Oliver Wood, rated m, 42.6k

Authors' Summary: The keeper smiled wider as the healer tried to hide a smile writing quickly on the parchment tucked underneath the clipboard. And what a smile it was. Percy’s eyes crinkled at the corners. It took up the man’s entire expression. Other than winning the Pennant (if he wasn’t sacked by the Club Manager), Oliver Wood would make it his life’s mission to make Percy Weasley smile.

Underneath the Mistletoe by Hufflepuffin11, who has a ton of perciver fics, including some really long ones: this one is rated t, 19k and is perciver getting together after the war feat. pining oliver and chirstmas fluff.

Here's my fic on post-war getting together: rated t, 26k: falling from dusk into dawn:

Oliver Wood has a million existential crises and pines for Percy Weasley. It all works out, somehow.

Some shorter, sweet Hogwarts Perciver pieces (under 20k)

burn across the sky by MoonytheMarauder1 (excellent fics all round): 4.1k, rated t.

Short summary by author: When Oliver Wood stops talking about Quidditch to stare at Percy Weasley, Ron, Fred, and George know something is up.

Stupid Deep by shadow_prince, a friends to lovers perciver + what if percy was sorted into Slytherin (but nothing keeps him and oliver apart); rated t, 6.5k.

Hold On by gonergone, rated g, 5.1k: Author's summary: The love triangle between Percy, Oliver, and Quidditch.

messin' up my mind by SkyRose, rated t, 5k.

Author's summary: Oliver's attention keeps drifting to a certain ginger Head Boy. It's the twins' fault, of course.

.

You can always explore the perciver #slow burn tag (61 works), although this will be uncurated and subject to perciver being tagged in an otherwise unrelated fic (my beloathed), as well as: perciver #mutual pining works (44), perciver #friends to lovers (94) or perciver #getting together works (73)- note that there will be some overlap. Hufflepuffin11 also has a WIP slowburn getting together perciver fic x2 - one during Hogwarts, one after.

Enjoy!

can perciver get the wolfstar treatment please

i need lengthy fics about them at hogwarts that are so slowburn you feel the burn more people need to talk about them AGH
