bluemoon_02 gives us our second round of nominations:
Right...You've asked for it...*Grins*
Brave New World bytheatresm, rated hard R and it's
Snape/OFC....My rec site says:When browsing summaries of fics, I see the acronym 'OFC' and run screaming - and such I would have done with this, if it weren't for the fact it had been recommended very highly by another good author (See R.J. Anderson). So I read the blurb on the front page with a sceptically raised eyebrow and thought 'worth a try'. After the first chapter I was interested. After the second I was intrigued. By the third, I was hooked, and continued to read the rest of the fic in two days, going so far
as to put large sections of it on disk so I could read it between classes in college. Miranda Hunter is not your average 'Mary Sue'-ish OFC. She is a well-plotted character in her own right, and fits perfectly in with the well-known, well-loved and well-characterised canon characters we all know and love. In addition to this, there is lots of snarky!Snape, which is a must for any fic I recommend!
The Fire and the Rose by MetroVamp and Rhosymedre, rated NC-17 and it's Snape/Hermione....Rec site says: I started reading this fic when it was still a WiP and was instantly hooked. After that, I tuned in every Sunday morning for the chapterly update and wrote long, squeeing fangirl-style e-mails to the co-authors. When it was finished, I felt bereft! That is how good this fic is. The usual cliche plot device of a potion going awry that has been seen so many times is given a true touch of class. Hermione and Severus are both beautifully in character, and the authors have a wonderful way of showing how very similar these characters are, or at least could become. A good fic for anyone looking for a good, substantial read that moves at a steady pace without compromising either of the main characters.
Something to Write On bycybele_san, rated NC-17 and it's Snarry: Something to Write On was a response to a challenge that I read many replies to. This one stood out like a sore thumb as a classic piece of Cybele delisiousness. Harry has to hand in his rather explicit Potions journal. Snape's reaction to the lovely little bits of smut Harry scribbles during Potions class is wonderful.
The Last Dance bywikd_sushi, rated NC-17 (In a bittersweet kinda way) and it's Snarry: Beautiful. Simply beautiful. It really is difficult to find other words to describe this work of literary fandom art. Originally a reply to a SSFF challenge, I think this is now a praised work of well-known proportions. After Harry's death, Severus discovers he has feelings for him, and those feelings help in resurrecting Harry. However - and this is a big one - do not read this fic if you are looking for a Happily Ever After Ending. It will tear you apart and leave you crying for hours - it did for me, anyway. A good fic for anyone who understands heartbreak, and the true meaning of 'if you love him, let him go'.
Gorge Series bylucius_malfoy, rated NC-17 (Anyone spotting a theme in my recs?) and it's Snape/Lucius and Lucius/Narcissa: A fabulously dark and totally un-fluffy take on when Severus first joined the Dark Lord. I absolutely love Libertine's take on the whole Malfoy family, and particularly their respective attitudes to a young and very arrogant Severus.
Is that enough to be getting on with?...*Grins*
Vote! And do read those you've never heard of, too.
