Snupin fic recs

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

[info]lupin_snape is currently having a for the month of August: members have signed up to rec Snupin fics every day this month, (I'll be reccing this Sunday on the 9th). I found some wonderful new fics to read, and re-discovered a few old favorites, so I thought I'd share some of the titles that I enjoyed the most, plus a new rec of my own. Please continue to check out the recs throughout the month if you enjoy this pairing!

3 Friday Fic Recs

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Here are three fic recs for Friday: one dark and two humorous.

Title: One Echo
Author: [info]snegurochka_lee
Characters: Snape/Lupin, Lily, James. Snape/Lily, sort of, but no more than you get from canon.
Rating: R
Words: ~3,400
Warnings: Domestic abuse. (Minor, offstage) character death. Quite far into AU territory, too, I should think. Possibly suspect magical theory.
Summary: Snape saw the moment it registered. Lupin was an idiot, to be sure, except when he wasn't. His gaze swept over Lily, pausing at the pertinent swells of purple on her arms and the way she hunched over in shame. If only both of them had looked into her eyes.

Written for the Dark Side challenge on [info]lupin_snape, this is dark indeed, and will send a chill down your spine. I can't say too much about it without giving away the ending, but I highly recommend it. Actually, I highly recommend anything by this author, who somehow has a way of writing so well that her stories overcome all my usual squicks. (I usually don't care for dark fic and prefer happy fluffy stories, but this story is incredibly compelling and I don't regret reading it at all, although I still shudder a bit when I think about it.)

Friday fic recs: Snarry and Severus/Charity

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
"Snarry" is, for better or worse, firmly entrenched as shorthand for "Snape/Harry," but I refuse to call Severus and Charity "Sevarity." :-P I also don't get why the hell people pair Severus' last name with his partner's first name in these shorthand dealies; whatever happened to parallel construction? But I digress. ;-)


First, I want to direct you to an absolutely gorgeous Severus/Harry postwar fic. It was based--by request of the recipient, [info]venturous (venturous1 on LJ)--upon the story I wrote for Ven for last year's Snapedom Summer Fest: Merry Meet Again. The author picked up where I left off and spun a fascinating tale of woundedness and healing, magic and love.

We Shall Meet in all Directions

Author: [info]megyal (on LJ)
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: PG
Summary: Right after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry's beleaguered mind continues to deal with comforting hallucinations and stark reality.


Second, I've continued to write drabbles for [info]snape100 about Severus and Charity. My latest drabbles have been a series centering around Severus and Charity going out of the country on holiday for the summer (1993 is implied). Rather than link to each story on LJ, IJ, and DW versions of Snape100, I'll just provide the links on my fic archive.


The Summer Holiday series, in order:

* High Flying Lover
* Letting Off Steam
* Not Going That Way
* The Dunderheads Had Not Pained Him for Nineteen Hours, All Was Well
* Begin at the Beginning
* Whenever We Begin
* Ruminations on an Anonymous Correspondence
* No Escape from Reality

Future drabbles will also be archived on my IJ, linked on the sidebar under "Summer Holiday series - Severus/Charity."

Friday fic recs: Drabbles and snark

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
This week I wrote more Severus/Charity drabbles; these center around Neville Longbottom and the Terrible Toad Trouble.

Lessons in Safety on IJ on LJ on DW

Pedagogically Effective on IJ on LJ on DW

Or, you can just read them on my archive [info]bohemianspirit on IJ. Both stories are PG-13, mainly for language, as well as for vivid depiction of toady violence.

(Just as an aside, does it really matter to anyone reading the Friday Recs whether we post to links on IJ, LJ, or DW, or will people follow the links and comment no matter which archive we link to? Not that posting links in triplicate isn't fun...)

And a rec for a short, funny, satirical story written by another member of the Underground:

The Supernaturalists, or Why Harry and Brains Have Never Been Close (G) by [info]skitty_kat. Technically it isn't a Snapefic, but it serves as an amusing bit of creative meta about DH and a certain character who (at least in the eyes of the One who made Him) just might be bigger than John Lennon, now. ;-)

May 8th, 2009

Friday Fic Recs: More Severus/Charity drabbles

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Several more Severus Snape/Charity Burbage drabbles, written for [info]snape100. In all probability, Severus Snape hooked up with someone (or several someones) during his lifetime. Why not make one of those someones Charity Burbage? Any happy life a fic writer can create for her is certainly better than her canonical role of Gratuitous-Death Fodder That Readers Won't Care Too Much About.

Since we have next to zilcho information about Ms. Burbage in canon, I'm working with the assumption that she is more or less within shouting distance of Severus' age.

Fics are rated PG-13, mainly for innuendo and the freedom to use four-letter words as I see fit. Of course, in my household, four-letter words were G-rated, but that's irrelevant to the purposes of this post. ;-)


Silent Sentences on IJ on LJ

Friday fic: Stuff I created this week

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
More drabbles!

The first one is sheer silliness: Sev's Twin, written for Writercon100 over on LJ, inspired by the prompt, "Twin." PG, gen, and (hopefully) AU. ;-)

For [info]snape100's Challenge #278: The Eye of the Beholder, I wrote a series of seven drabbles pairing Severus Snape with Charity Burbage: And So She Saw (IJ - linked here on LJ). PG-13, het, and written to be canon-compliant--at least up to the beginning of DH. (*cough* FawkesAntiveninBloodreplenisher *cough*) Generally I'm one of those who figure, what's the point of writing fanfic if you don't depart from canon at some point, but once in a while it's fun to write within the confines of canon and see what might be lurking between the lines.

Writing these drabbles got me wondering just how much history Severus and Charity did have in canon; her plea to him in the first chapter of DH at the least suggests she had considered him someone she could trust. Alas, we'll never know, because in canon she basically serves to be the first of many gratuitous deaths so we realize that War Is Serious Business. Anyway, as several readers of my drabbles commented, I've given her a bit more of a history and a personality, and a hint of happiness in her life prior to when we see her in canon. Certainly canon makes it easy to write Charity Burbage "in character." :-D

The above fics are also archived on my [info]bohemianspirit IJ.

I'm also working on a couple of fics for the Severus Big Bang Birthday Bash. See icon. Copy icon. Use icon to promote the fest. :-D

And... I used my YogiSev picture from March's Snarc to make a banner for the Severus Big Bang Birthday Bash!

If you want to use it to promote the Big Bang, just copy and save to your own image storage, wherever that may be. ;-)

Friday Ficwreck: Two More Drabbles about The Two Professors

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Seems I just can't leave the good professors alone. More crossover crack from the land of Gilligan's Isle, featuring the One True Pairing of Severus Snape (HP Professor) and Roy Hinkley (GI Professor). The fics are PG-13, humor, crack, suspension of disbelief to the Nth degree, and somewhat bawdy in theme, though still rather tame as these things go.

Written for this week's prompt on Writercon100: "Redemption"

1. Professor Hinkley's Second Chance

2. Professor Snape's Second Chance

The first ten drabbles in the series are linked in last Friday's fic rec post.

This week, I also posted a drabble on the theme of redemption (prompt: "his first time") on [info]snape100: Washed Away (also PG-13), posted on IJ and on LJ. As one commenter put it, a rather strange means of finding atonement, yet perhaps not so uncommon, in fiction and in life. ;-)

Oh, and I'm finally catching up on archiving my fics on my [info]bohemianspirit IJ. Future fics, wherever originally posted, will end up there, indexed on the sidebar.

Oh, oh, oh--and in case you haven't heard about it, yet, it appears that Severus is having a 50th Birthday Bash. ;-)

The Professor and... Severus Snape! Here on Gilligan's Isle!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful Ship...

The other day I looked over the listings on [info]snapenews, and saw an announcement for Drabbles for Dollars, a drabble-writing fundraiser on LJ for monetarily-challenged attendees of Writercon. Donors pay a certain amount for each drabble written, with bonus amounts paid for drabbles written in specific fandoms or meeting specific challenges. It seemed like a quick and easy way to do a bit of good in the world, so I communed with the Muse and started to write.

One of the fandoms listed was Harry Potter, so I dashed off a Snapey drabble on a classic theme, namely, Severus survives the war. (Big surprise to all of you, I'm sure.) It also fit this week's prompt, "con," very nicely. Check it out; it's Gen, PG, and will likely appeal to everyone on this community:

So Dark the Con of Man

Then I browsed the "fandom of one" list of smaller fandoms, and saw that Gilligan's Island was among those fandoms. Hmm, I certainly watched enough GI in my formative years; surely I could do something with that fandom, as well, maybe send Severus to the island and make it a crossover.

Then I noted that "dirty" drabbles also got bonus pay. Well, I don't do explicit, but surely PG-13 innuendo and double entendre would count? Hey, it was worth a try.

From Severus Snape + Gilligan's Island + dirty drabble, my Muse very reasonably concluded: Pair the Professor with the Professor!

We don't do ship wars on Snapedom, so I will not be so bold as to claim that Severus Snape/Roy Hinkley is the OTP of the future. I'll just point you in the direction of my humble drabbles featuring said pairing, and let you decide for yourselves. ;-)

#1: The Professor and The Professor

#2: Essential Experimentations in Frivolity

#3: The Fly in the Denouement

#4: Concerning the Matter of Gilligan

#5: Shipshape

#6: The Professor to the Rescue

#7: Getting Naked

#8: Such Sweet Sorrow

#9: Professors in Paradise

ETA: I've added a (somewhat disturbing) Epilogue to the series:

#10: The Pleasurable Secrets of Professor Hinkley


Only a few of these are tagged "dirty," and even that's a stretch, but all of them are fairly silly. Let me know if they make you laugh. And feel free to join me in writing Snapefic over there, should you be so inspired!

A Valentine's Day story

I don't know if this should be put under "TeamFluff" or "TeamSnark" as it has elements of both. Maybe you can decide for me! (Is there a TeamAngst, at all?)

Best Friends Forever
By Alison Venugoban

He’d carved it into the tree on their first Valentine’s Day at Hogwarts: “SS/LE BFF”.
She’d giggled and blushed and said it was cute. She’d been the one who’d encircled the message with a heart. Then it was his turn to blush and squirm and yes, smile shyly.

It had become their custom to deepen the message every year on Valentine’s Day. Until their fifth year. Her growing coldness had frozen him more than the winter weather could ever do. He’d hurry past “their” tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, feeling like a fool for ever putting that message on its trunk.

It was beginning to be overgrown with moss when next he saw it. He stared at it, but after all, it was Valentine’s Day. And he’d just learnt that she was going to marry Potter.

He cast Sectumsempra and slashed the message until it was no longer readable.

The End
Author’s note: If you’re wondering what the message BFF stands for, please read the title!

Friday Fic

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
The [info]snapelyholidays reveals are up, and today I am pimping one of my stories, The Whisperer (on my IJ account as Part 1 and Part 2).

I wrote The Whisperer for [info]irena_candy . Her prompt was: Snowy days at Hogwarts, in some winter after the fall of Voldemort. Severus revisits his old dungeon haunts, trying to banish the ghosts of his past, and finds someone unexpected lurking there. Requested / preferred elements included: Mild bondage, sex on a fur rug, sex in the dungeon.

Pairing: Severus Snape/Narcissa Malfoy
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Explicit het, mild bondage, angst
Summary: After the fall of Voldemort, Hogwarts has been repaired and is open with a new headmaster who is determined to remove all Slytherin tendencies from the school. Meanwhile, Severus Snape has isolated himself, haunted by his belief that he failed his students. When he learns this latest news, he returns to Hogwarts and has an eye-opening experience.

Friday Fic Rec: The Beginner's Guide to Breeding Peacocks

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Author: Not revealed yet
Title: The Beginner's Guide to Breeding Peacocks
Pairing: Severus/Hermione/Lucius
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Snape has a theory about Karmic balance - and Peacock Poo.
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/sshg_exchange/140574.html#cutid1

This story is utterly brilliant. It's intelligent, funny, very witty, sensual and the characters are just fabulous. And there are peacocks - in many shapes and forms. A real gem!
