Among this 47.6K in 21 ficlets, mainly one-shots with just one or two AU-of-an-AU or follow-up, there is a lot of brilliant salt, sense, and silliness, mocking, calling out, and/or parodying both Rowling's baked-in illogic and oversights, and some of the even-more-ridiculous directions popular fic trends have taken them. Naturally I enjoyed some more than others, but there were none I could really disagree with, even when they were poking at characters I like.
I think the main reasons I didn't debate long over sticking with just 3★ are twofold:
1) Even knowing that each chapter is a stand alone, it was a bit jarring to jump randomly back and forth in the chronology. I read some pieces of this ~collection~ in between other things to try to escape the expectation of "chapters" and continuity, but it probably increased my mental distance overall.
2) Given the tone, it wasn't really trying to give us feels for naturalistic characters, but I'm more likely to round up when there is emotional investment, rewarded, not sardonic exaggeration. YMMV.
The technical side was good. I only specifically recall one missing word (because I don't know what the exact adjective intended was), and I think there were only a few other minor things.
