Recommendation time!!!
Original poster: marionros
It's fridaymorning in my part of the world. Time, therefore, to recommendate some spiffing Snapelicious fics (dear me, I sound rather too chipper for a fridaymorning. What was in that porridge?)
First off, I'm sure I don't really have to recommend this any more, but for those who missed it; Sydpad is NOT doing a brilliant comic about Snape after DH. But if she did, it would look like this... http://sydpad.livejournal.com/26124.htm
The page I'm linking to is the one where Severus meets Dumbles at the 'afterlife trainstation'. Severus finds that the trainstation is not *his* Hell, but Dumbledores...
Another artist who picked up on the 'the baby is there to torment/test Dumbledore' idea is Didodikali. She wrote the brilliant illustrated fic 'Station 9.9999999': http://trickofthedark.livejournal.com/1
Next, a few oldies but goodies. These were written before DH, back in the time we could still hope that JKR was a reasonable normal woman with real, honest to God normal about what constitutes a good hero and consequently a good story.
First, there is Delaine's 'Of Ordinary Wizards': http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2496011/1/O
This is how DH *should* have been.
Next, there is 'The Brewer' (in 9 chapters), by Josan:

Snape has been released from Azkaban, but banished. Charlie Weasley offers him a job in the Romanian Dragon Reserve. Severus slowly heals. Excellent story!!
There are a few others I'd like to recommend, but I'll save those for next week. Enjoy!
