Snowflake Challenge Game Day One
Recs: The Stories That Live

I'm going to list The Stories That Live. These are the ones that, even seven or eight years after they were posted, people still comment on a fairly regular basis.

I don't know why it's these stories in particular:

Out Of Bounds, Stargate Atlantis Fandom, John/Rodney, figure skating AU
An utterly self-indulgent fic. John's a rebellious figure skater who after twelve years of competition has one last shot. Rodney's the former World Champion, shattered by defeat (can't you just hear the Olympic theme song?) who can make it happen. But first....

Cursed Artefacts For Sale, Harry Potter fandom, Harry/Snape, humour
Severus drags Harry to a Wizarding auction. "Collecting Cursed Artefacts is a registered form of madness in the Compendium of Wizarding Mental Disorders and Other Things That Make You Twitch," Severus said, "like most compulsions to collect. But it's a very popular one and I plan to beat everyone else to it."

Primer to the Dark Arts, Harry Potter fandom, Harry/Snape, novel-length
Harry learns he is to be given private (and secret) tutoring in the Dark Arts. His teacher? Professor Snape. Features ghost cats and cursed harps, spells that are supposed to go wrong and don't, a friendly sociopathic Death Eater, and Snape's naughty, naughty library.
