Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Harry Potter: An Ancient's Journey, Chapter 44Daniel skipped past to the next. "Okay, this is promising…it says, 'To any of our own who may come, find the legacy within."
Harry laughed. "Oh, that's typical Alteran double-speak. The knowledge of the Universe is both a journey within you – which leads to ascension and an external one of the material realm."
"Any progress, gentlemen?" Jack appeared with Sam and Teal'C following behind.
"Quite a lot actually."
Daniel looked confused. "Huh, we have?"
"I said that it was double-speak, I've only covered what it meant from one point of view," Harry explained.
Jack smiled wryly. "We could have Goa'uld on our collective asses any minute now."
"I know Jack, I was going to say that from a second, more literal point of view…the legacy," Harry reached over to the column and pushed his hand against the inscription.
Sam, who had been scanning the other side of the wall, let out a startled exclamation when the organo-metallic shape of a dormant Repository suddenly phased into existence right in front of her. She retreated hastily to press her back against the column, well out of reach of the machine. Jack and Daniel rather comically imitated her.
"Now we just have to figure out how to get it out of the wall."
Harry moved carefully closer, focusing his thoughts clearly. The device had already linked to him via its integrated artificial telepathy. "I've got that part covered." Whereas before the Repository would latch onto someone who was eagerly seeking the knowledge and download everything…now Harry was sending it clear instructions on what to do.
The Repository shrunk, contracting further and further, until it was no more than a ten centimeter perfectly uniform cube, which was now sitting in the camouflaged alcove it had laid dormant in. Harry picked it up carefully. "You've seen a universe in a bottle. Here's a universe of knowledge in a cube."
Jack squinted oddly at the thing. "It's so…small."
"The Universe rarely conforms to what we expect of it, Jack."
