Snarry Fic Recs @ 08:47 pm

The Riddle of the Grange by Anon at [info]snarry_holidays (NC-17)

Summary: Non-magic AU set in the late Victorian era. Chief Inspector Severus Snape of Scotland Yard comes to Hogsmeade to investigate a most baffling murder at the Riddle house. Fortunately PC Potter is eager to assist him in all matters.

I'm a great fan of Sherlock Holmes, and I always thought that there are striking similarities between Holmes and Snape. The author plays with the resemblances, but instead of wearing them thin with depicting Snape as Holmes, s/he makes Snape a Scotland Yard inspector who has to compete against the famous sleuth and his showy methods on a daily basis. It figures that Police Constables Potter and Weasley are fen. However, Snape can easily convince Harry of his own personal qualities.

There are awesome cameos of Hermione as suffragette, Mrs Figg as (not so) naive landlady and Albus Dumbledore as barmy baronet. Not a small feat, the author has succeeded in fitting together HP and Sherlock Holmes canon in a historical AU setting that allows room for both worlds. I love the sheer British-ness of it all, and the fact that s/he managed to surprise me in the end. Great entertainment!


Blue Moon by Anon at [info]hp_yule_balls (NC-17)

Summary: Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry finds he needs Snape's help. But it comes at a price.

I love the playfulness of this fic. From seagull Fishy's antics to Harry's skirt kilt and Snape's reaction to both, from the changing colour of Teddy's fur to Victoire's and a mirror's curiosity, the story's brimming with ideas. A light-hearted read that made me smile.


The Day Severus Snape Woke Up In Hell and Spent Seven Minutes in Heaven Before Life Interrupted His Happily Ever After by Anon at [info]snarry_holidays (PG-13)

Summary: When Hogwarts throws a hissy fit, it's up to Harry to awaken its Headmaster. However, nothing ever goes as planned when Harry is involved.

The actual protagonist of this story is Hogwarts, and it's a very grouchy and resentful Hogwarts we're talking about. Harry's a hard job to do to appease it, but of course, he's just the man for it, with his Gryffindor bravery and his confused charm. This Harry's adorable, and I'm not in the least surprised about Snape's concept of heaven. Feel-good fic at its best!

A drop-everything-right-now rec @ 09:40 am

Tags: , ,

So, I've gotten out of the habit of reading much fic lately, and I've never been very good about doing recs of things I love, but there's no way I can let this fic go by without begging you all to read it.

It's The Fisher King (Percy/Moody, NC-17) which [info]florahart was lucky enough to receive in the Yule Balls exchange. Please don't be put off by the pairing--both Percy and Moody are amazing, fully rounded characters here and yes, it's certainly strange thinking of Moody as someone who could be loved, but he is, and this mystery author does a phenomenal job of showing how it happens. I'm doing my best to be coherent and mature and non-flaily here because this story deserves so much better than flail, but I fear I'm failing at that attempt. But it's just heartwrenching. And it ties into canon which is just, oh, so amazing! Do give it a chance. I promise you'll be grateful!
 

The December Challenge @ 04:46 pm

[info]sylvanawood, posting in [info]snapedom:

The December Challenge brings you a topic that's been long overdue and was suggested by mary_j_59:

Severus and Harry Potter

Mary writes: What does the constant compare and contrast between the two in all 7 books actually convey? Does it convey anything, after all? I had thought it was a subtle type of character development, and that it also pointed to the need for healing between the two, because they are 'soul mates'. Severus, more than anyone else, is Harry's spiritual father, IMO. At least, that's what I thought before DH. Now I don't know what to think - and yet the comparisons are there, in the text. Why?

Of course you can go beyond that and include anything you want.
 

Fic: If You Ask Me Why @ 10:02 am

Title: If You Ask Me Why
Author: Don't ask us who!
Giftee: [info]proftlb
Word Count: ~6820
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harry/Snape
Warnings: Death (not a main character), M/M sex scene, possibly chan with Harry as 16, angst.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: “If you ask me why, I couldn’t answer. I don’t know what possessed me to do it. It just happened.” A love story.
Author's Notes: Thanks to B, E, and Y for the beta. This was inspired from a recent death in my family, my grandmother who passed away recently. I was quite close to her and so dealing with that was hard. In a sudden hit of inspiration, this came out of me. I don’t quite know how, but it did. So I hope you enjoy it, and Merry Christmas for 2008.

Fic for meeeee! @ 10:08 pm

[info]florahart:
I got fic today! TWICE!

*has luckiness OMG*

I'm about to point at them both, but it's going to sound like I loved one more than the other, but it's just more, it's got the unusualness factor and all, and I want to overcome all y'all's likely resistance to the pairing, okay? Because I did like them both bunches and I am not wanting to make one author feel less loved.

Okay, so.

At Snapely Holidays, I got fic which says Snape/? and there is whiteout that says the pairing. I wouldn't want to subvert the author's intent there, but I promise it's not a scary ?

The header says

Title: Where the Heart Is
Pairing: Severus/do I have to say?
Rating: NC17 - eventually
Warnings: Live Severus, but otherwise fairly canon-compliant
Summary: Flora's prompt that I chose was, "Snape fleeing without any friends after surviving and starting his new life; maybe eventually someone find him, or maybe he really seriously starts from scratch." This is a bit of both.
Severus makes himself a home and a new life in a place he knew long before Hogwarts. Eventually someone from the wizarding world joins him in both.

I was possibly a little dubious about the amount of backstory, because there is a fair amount to open the fic, but it was okay, because how can you not like a Snape who learns to be content, and to be content with someone?

So, yay to that one. Also, Severus talks to a cat, and has a great-aunt, and works with his hands and has a good life.

And then, tonight, there was this:

Title: The Fisher King
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Percy Weasley/Alastor Moody
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended. All characters engaging in sexual activity are 16 years or older.
Summary: In which quests and grails are overrated, and virtue is not.
Warnings: n/a

Okay, yes, I did in fact ask for this pairing, and this fic knocks it out of the park. Do not fret about the Moody. I asked for, IIRC, Moody to be taken seriously, warts and all, and to be a figure that is loved, and dudes, they made me cry. And yes, I am often a giant sap, so in some regards that's not hard to do, but still. There is personal history all woven in, and there is a Moody who is coherent and complex and interesting and a Percy who needs him. And there is a cameo I adored, and there is family and it's complicated and you all know how I am about the complicated, yes? And just, *flails*

Go read. Seriously. Go read both, but the other one you won't have to get over the Moody, and just, yes, go.

Okay. I've reformatted so that it's double-spaced and all that good stuff, to see where I'm at; I have two more pages to write on this paper now. Maybe 600 words? It does still need a conclusion...

*think think think*

And I also need to make several more blog posts for the class, too. Also by tonight, I think, although I may have already gone over deadline on those... don't have the due dates handy here.

ETA: One... more... page... I think I will go home now though, and finish there.
