Chiropractor said to take it easy for a few hours, so...
A fic recommendation, aimed at all those who love a well-written, thoroughly thought-out, and adventurous romance, of the Snape/Black kind.
I went over to The Restricted Section [must register to view stories], signed in, and went looking for SS/SB stories. I found the following:
In The Ruins by SylvanWitch
Darkfic, Drama/Angst, Romance, Violence
Stories in this series:
In The Ruins (NC-17 - Snape/Black) What is left when the world as you know it is in ruins? Snape and Black search through the ruins of Hogwarts, flee death eaters, and find themselves at the last extremities of endurance. Is there hope at the end of the world?
Death Roll (NC-17 - Snape/Black) Herein be the naming of the dead and some comfort for the comfortless.
Neither Rest nor Requiem (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) The toll has been taken; now, the counting of costs. There is still no rest for the weary and/or wicked.
Caverns Measureless to Man (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) Some important questions are answered. One very important question is asked.
The World is Too Much With Us (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) In which we discover the fate of Harry Potter, the secret of the "Caves of Morrigu," and just how stubborn Sirius can be. Also, this line says agreat deal: "We are either the bravest people in the world or completely mad to follow you."
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) Never sacrifice your life's blood to a Goddess on the first date, and other useful lessons on fighting the "good" fight.
Dulce et Decorum Est (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) "I would like to tell you that we will be victorious, that the forces of Darkness will not swallow whole the world in which we have lived and that we have loved for so long [. . .] but I cannot." --Albus Dumbledore, on Yule's Eve.
Those cooler shades of love (NC-17 - Snape/Sirius) The loose ends are tied--and then some!
I recommend this series because the imagery is fascinating and the interactions between Snape and Black are emotion high-wire action, see-sawing in mid-air to become something different each time they are together.
Yes, it was written in 2005 and complete(!), but it's a gem, rare and hidden away, now come to light once more. I truly do encourage the brave amongst you to check out the series. Please note, the NC-17 rating is there for a reason, there are some extremely gory portions and themes that will raise your hackles.
