Commonplace Magic, by Acid and Sinick

2009-03-25

[Harry Potter]

Title: Commonplace Magic
Author: [info]ac1d6urn and [info]sinick
Summary: No doom of the wizarding world hanging in the balance, no tragic premature deaths. Just Harry getting inside a solitary man's defences, by not really trying.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: AR/non-magic

Why?

May Acid and Sinick go on writing such excellent fics forever. It's AU non-magic, a genre I normally hate, and yet I loved it to pieces.

Snape is suitably ugly and grumpy, and Harry is suitably thick. The writing is slow and beautiful, and London is as much a character as Harry and Snape.

A Little Touch Of Harry In the Night, by Amanuensis

2008-08-17

[Harry Potter]

Title: A Little Touch Of Harry In the Night
Author: [info]amanuensis
Summary: A Potterverse take on Shakespeare's Henry V with an AU Harry who's not really as nice as we remember him. Bit of a bastard, actually. That's okay; I got to write more sex that way. Shakespeare purists will just freak.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger, Harry Potter/Colin Creevey, Harry Potter/Severus Snape, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy (plus a bit of Slytherin debauchery)
Rating: NC-17
Warning: AU, implied rape, dub-con

Why?

A deliciously dark and chilling Harry. While the setting is unmistakably the Wizarding World, the plot follows Henry V closely, without ever seeming forced. It does help that it's one of my favourite plays, and that the fic includes one of my favourite scenes from it (II.ii, for the record). You don't need to know the play to read the story, but it definitely makes it more interesting.

Good Life Becoming, by Sansa

2008-08-16

[Harry Potter]

Title: Good Life Becoming
Author: Sansa [info]sansa1970
Summary: What does it take to turn animosity into something else? Harry, Severus and Draco form a binding friendship that evolves into much more. The events that bring them together also threaten to tear them apart.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: threesome

Why?

A tale of friendship that turns to love, one of my favourite topics. It's quite bittersweet, in the end, but the way the three men find themselves and each other is lovely.

Laughter of the Gods, by Llama

2007-12-09

[Harry Potter]

Title: Laughter of the Gods
Author: Llama [info]fluffyllama
Summary: On his last day at Hogwarts, Harry makes more than one mistake… but he's not the only one.
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Rating: NC-17
Warning: dubious consent, underage, caning

Why?

See Snape trying to be more clever and Slytherin than Harry. See Snape fail. Utterly :)

Hot and hilarious!

The Civil War series, by Sushi

2007-12-06

[Harry Potter]

Title: The Civil War series
Author: Sushi [info]wikdsushi
Summary: Snape and Harry find some common ground and a bit of comfort in the process.
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Rating: NC-17
Warning: underage, incest, rape, violence

Why?

Is it necessary to present the Civil War series? You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never be the same again. I felt wrung out from all the angst, but the end is surprisingly funny and uplifting.

Surprised by Harry, by RaeWhit

2007-09-03

[Harry Potter]

Title: Surprised by Harry
Author: RaeWhit [info]joanwilder
Summary: Severus Snape has always thought himself rather immune to surprise. Until one night under an enchanting moon of August, a chance encounter with Harry Potter sets him up for the biggest surprise of his life.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: rimming

Why?

I like stories when Harry and Severus don't do anything to fall in love. It just happens, and one day they wake up and they've been sleeping together and living together and planning holidays together, and they just are. But acceptance does not mean forgiveness, and the course of true love never did run smooth ;)

A Fool Too Late, by Atrata

2007-08-29

[Harry Potter]

Title: A Fool Too Late
Author: [info]atrata
Summary: Harry goes to rescue Professor Lupin, but it doesn't go quite the way he'd planned.
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter/Remus Lupin
Rating: Nc-17
Warning: chan (Harry's 13), object penetration, double penetration

Why?

The fic that brought my object penetration kink to the fore. Deliciously dirty, featuring too-naive!Harry, bastard!Snape, and looks-nice-but-is-really-a-bastard-of-the-first-order!Lupin.

The Apple Tree, by Philo

2007-08-25

[Harry Potter]

Title: The Apple Tree
Author: Philo
Summary: Harry returns for his seventh year determined to change the status quo.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: underage

Why?

One of the best superpowered!Harry I’ve read, though not without its problems. Though quite different from canon!Harry, Harry is quite attaching, and his relationship with Snape builds believably.

Caveat lector

The main problem I had with it was the numerous plot twists, which make the fic a veritable angst-fest. With a lesser writer, I probably would have abandoned the fic midway, but Philo does manage to pull it off.

Dirty, Dirty Boys, by Miz Tyrious

2007-08-25

[Harry Potter]

Title: Dirty, Dirty Boys
Author: Miz Tyrious [info]miz_tyrious
Summary: Detention in the dungeons is dirty, dirty business.
Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: chan, underage sex, dubious consent, caning, spanking, biting, frottage, comeplay, sloppy seconds, foreskin play, bukkake, rimming, felching, role-play.

Why?

Mmm, non-guilt inducing chan. Quite filthy, and hot.

Both Sides Now, by Predatrix

2007-08-19

[Harry Potter]

Title: Both Sides Now
Author: [info]predatrix
Summary: Two viewpoints make up both sides of a story.
Characters/Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: under 18

Why?

The war is ended, Voldemort is dead, and both Snape and Harry want nothing more than someone to shag. And preferably not a groupie.

I'm reccing this primarily because the formatting is so very original, and you can read the fic both horizontally and vertically (and no, it's not in Chinese *g*). But it's also got it all: fun lines; hot, awkward, imperfect first-time sex; fumbling! prematurely-ejaculating! top! Harry and pushy! bottom! Snape. A typical, delightful Predatrix story, it's one you read when you feel a little down and need something to cheer you up.

Rite of Passage, by Rushlight

2007-08-11

[Harry Potter]

Title: Rite of Passage
Author: Rushlight [info]rushlight
Summary: When Harry comes of age in the wizarding world, he has to find someone to aid him in the passage to adulthood.
Characters/Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warning: Under 18

Why?

It's a PWP with just the right amount of plot to make it delightful and memorable. Young wizards and witches are expected to lose their virginity once they turn sixteen, and their first time is a matter of celebration. Except in Harry's case, where it's a matter of public speculation, to the point where everyone and his dog proposition him. As a last resort, Harry turns to the least likely person to be blinded by his fame: Snape.

It was written during the long summer between GoF and OotP, and the characterisations might seem a little off, but ultimately, it doesn't matter. I could say that I'm reccing this story because of its glimpses into Wizarding traditions, or into Harry's psyche, but the truth is that I'm reccing it because it's hot, and it features one of my favourite tropes: an older man patiently teaching a younger one the ropes of lovemaking.

It's a fabulous story, one I've read and reread often.

The Familiar, by Resonant

2007-08-11

[Harry Potter]

Title: The Familiar
Author: Resonant [info]resonant8
Summary: A potion goes awry.
Characters/Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: NC-17

Why?

One of the Snarry classics. The pace is lovely and slow, and there's never a moment when you say, "Wait, Harry/Snape would never act like this!" A wonderful read, and re-read.
