Since IJ's been eating comments recently, I decided to take </a></strong></a>harmony_bites' suggestion and create a post dedicated to the growing number of Rescue Fics out there:
From Longest to Shortest...
1. </a></strong></a>rmratliff, (BuckeyeBelle), “The Errand” 4,977 words, Angst, Romance, (PG-13) Summary: DH FIX Missing scenes and tag. Lovely SSHG story of a Snape being saved that is completely DH Compliant right down to the epilogue (if you ignore Harry's use of the word “was.”) The Luna in particular just shined.
2. </a></strong></a>cecelle, “Flying Lessons” 3,580 words, Angst, Friendship, (PG-13) Summary: This is the second of two one-shots that provide alternate endings to Snape’s story line, so the story contains DH spoilers. Bring out the time-turner! Yet another Hermione saves Snape story, but a variation on the theme I very much liked.
3. </a></strong></a>bambu345, “Saving a Death Eater” 3,035 words, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, (PG-13) Summary: Post-Deathly Hallows plot. While Harry is immured in the headmaster’s office, sunk into Snape’s memories, Hermione is spurred into action of a different sort. I loved this. It of course features Bambu’s usual gorgeous prose, is absolutely plausible given DH (at least up to the epilogue) and the Poppy Pomfrey—and, of course, Snape—are wonderful.
4. </a></strong></a>catherinecookmn, “The Design for After Living” 2,064 words, Drama, Romance, (PG) Summary: Taking a break from my now AU-and-loving-it Rumpole/HP crossover to get a DH-related fic out of my system. Truly imaginative magic and a creative way to get our couple together within strict bounds of DH-canon. Lovely. Truly.
5. </a></strong></a>igeret, “The Wizard Groom” 500 words, Humor, Romance, (PG) Summary: Massive amounts of Princess Bride quotations & paraphrases. Minor Monty Pythonage. Heh. Insane, but in such a *good* way. Fun, witty way of getting our hero back.
6. whitehound, “Flower Remedy” 101 words, General, Humor (PG) Summary: 100 word drabble DH spoiler: sometimes the old ways are the best. Really Snape and Hermione rather than SSHG, but this resurrection fic did make me smile.
8. </a></strong></a>a_bees_buzz, “What's in a name?” 100 words, General, Humor (PG) Summary: All dialogue challenge Put off by the epilogue? Feel there’s no canonical way beyond it to SSHG? Read this, and get ready to smile.
9. "Snape's Choice" by clare009 http://mujaji.net/repository/viewstory.php?sid=3 Summary: Post-DH. What happens after Harry leaves Snape in the Shrieking Shack. (This will be SSHG soon.) Rated: K+, 2789 words
