Following the Phoenix is an absolutely excellent "single-/dual-point-of-departure spinoff" from HPMOR, starting from HPMOR's Chapter 81.

I have found it very good reading; it really feels very original-flavor, as if it's what Eliezer could have potentially chosen to write instead of the path he chose to take.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Zombie is another good HPMoR elsefic, albeit one built for a drastically different purpose than its proceeding works. It also has the pleasant attribute of being very short. Caveat: it has spoilers up to the end of Chapter 89.

The same author's Metropolitan Man is longer, and significantly less optimistic, but might still be of interest to those who enjoy The Philosopher's Zombie
