As you might have guessed, I need help again.
What fanfic would you suggest to give a non-ADMM-shipper (who isn't opposed to the ship!) to show them just how wonderful Albus and Minerva are together, what chemistry they have and how well they simply fit?
I know loads of good fanfics, but it's kind of hard to choose one for this occasion.
It shouldn't be too short, but not too long either (no more than 20 chapters, I guess), so they would be willing to read it, it should take place, I guess, no earlier than 1981, so they're the characters we know from the books, and it should show how they get together.
Anyone have any ideas?

I would personally suggest:
One Dance at a Time by Hogwart's Duo (here and FF.net)
A Tabby and Her Kit by Uber Grasshopper (FF.net)
The story by Uber Grasshopper is the one that got me started on ADMM. Also, any of Jestana's or Ginger Newt's stories would be good.

I'm a newcomer here and perhaps a little strange one because I haven't read many fics. One reason is that I might get confused what "really happened". BUT - my personal favourite is a short story called "Infinite Mistletoe Kiss" (or something like that ) It is not too explicit or anyathing and it's really funny. I enjoy parodies, one knows exactly what "really happened" then ;D I read a few chapters of One Dance at a Time, too and it was rather good. I have a question, though. Has anyone ever written a good essay supporting this ship? There are many essays on all kinds of topics for example at mugglenet but I've never seen one on ADMM. Perhaps that would be a way of convincing non-shippers  Or maybe I'm just a crazy teacher fresh from university who can think of nothing but essays...  |

Well. I would suggest any of the fics from my C2, a link for which can be found in my signature. Or from childminerva's C2.
But. Well, you said not earlier than 1981, and I think the one I would choose - Admired By Minerva's Kittens is before that. But it's very good.
Or anything by sensiblyquirky, ginger newts, Angharad, Quill of Minerva, or Hogwarts Duo. Oops well that was a lot.
So yeah the C2, there you will find the best chapter fics on fanfiction.net and chapter fics can be more convincing.

Which did you choose and what does he/she think?

I chose four, to give my friend a choice of her own:
Care to Dance by Georgina Weasley,
Admired by Minerva's Kittens,
Tinsel by Sior, and
Moron by TartanPhoenix.
She hasn't had time to read any of them yet, though. I'll let you know what she thought once I myself know.
Unless, of course, I succeed in making her so much of a shipper that she'll join here herself...

I guess i am the person TigerLime was trying convince about AD/MM...So, i decide to register to tell what i find about the fics i alredy read....
Well, today i finally read 2 of the 4 fics Lyn suggested to me: Care to Dance and Tinsel. And alredy started Admired.
Care to Dance and Tinsel are really nice, but the one most convinced me, by now, was Tinsel, that i find really cute.
Interesting, AD/MM was a thing that that never thought, but a after take a look here and read that 2 fics, and i start liking the idea!!!!
So, i guess I'll really enjoy the other 2 suggestions...Thanks a lot!!! ;D
Sorry for had taken so much time to start read this fics... 
(Well, Lyn as you can see I'm here...I really liked the AD/MM idea! )

I told you I'd make you a shipper, didn't I, Shay-El?
Well, I'm hoping I'll see you here often, too.
