Snapedom

A lovely little Snuna:
"Moon Frog Soup (Omit the Shrivelfigs, Mandrake Noses, and Bowtruckle Fingernails)"

Author’s Summary:

Princely Things was more than just a shop. It was also Eileen Prince's way of helping some of the children who couldn't help themselves.

And, for something completely different, perverse_idyll has two new ones! Warning: definitely not in the slightest lovely. And not work-safe.

Um, let’s admit the truth: not safe at all. In any context. Severus/Albus/Harry, in various ways.

“In Infinite Remorse of Soul”, author’s summary:
“Albus Dumbledore never makes the same mistake twice. Certainly not in love.”

and its sequel, “And Mine the Gall”, author’s summary:

“It's one thing to deny oneself; it's another to be denied. In which Albus learns (again) that sins of omission have consequences, even unto the next generation; and that what he denied to Severus shall be visited upon Harry.”

Both can be found here:

I'm crawling out of lurkerdom to post a few Snupin Santa recs...

Hi all! 

My thesis is nearly finished (whee!) so I actually might play a more active role in discussions on the group soon (beware! *grin*). In the mean time I will gladly rec this fic I managed to stumble over. It's 'Death Eater No More' by notwolf.
It's basically 'what happened to Snape and the Malfoys (and to a lesser extent the Lestrange brothers and a host of other characters) after DH. I love it because it stays very in character and yet the characters are (mostly) sympathetic without trying to whitewash their lesser traits.
I adore Severus in this fic! He's his snarky, ascerbic, protective-of-the-students, self. Go read it, and don't be alarmed to find, in the first few chapters, that Snape has more family than canon stated; what I love about this fic is how it shows the characters as *connected* people. They didn't drop out of the air fully clothed, but have family and relationships and that just because Harry didn't know about them doesn't mean they weren't there...

Go! Read! You'll find it here, in all its 89 chaptered glory:

Some of the less common pairings this week, including Severus/Charlie, Severus/Luna, Severus/Lily, Severus/Lucius and Severus/Kingsley. And a stowaway snarry rec.

( Some rarepair recs )

Damn, damn, damn, have "misplaced" half this week's recs!!! It included the (almost) last of the snupin_santa recs (still have to read a couple more stories).
From the recs doc I *did* find, there's some snarry fic and art recs, a snape-centric gen rec, and some snupin stories as well as a rec for this intriguing and quirky little snupin series.
So without further delay:

( snarry and snupin recs from fests and elsewhere... )

Happy New Year!
Well, it's been a while, but it's time for me to get back into Friday Fic Recs...

Today's offerings are all from snupin_santa. I haven't finished this year's snupin_santa reading - hell, I'm not even half way through yet, but here a few that jumped out at me. There may be considerable overlap with geri_chan's recs, as I' ve been using her recs and those of r_grayjoy as starting places for my own reading.

I recently emailed Bloodcult of Freud to ask if there was any chance of “Seven Preposterous Things” being finished. The author pled real life and other writing, but also said, “The dwindling feedback was a factor in the stalling of the story.” You have to join Digital Quill to leave a review (which wasn’t always the case--as I pointed out to BcoF a possible reason for dwindling). However, you can, as I belatedly realized, email BcoF directly with feedback. It’s a marvelous AU (from the end of HBP)—featuring Severus/Hermione and Draco/Millicent. Great characterizations (Millie is the best, but they’re all good), wonderful dialogue, an interesting and different Pureblood culture, a plot that twists from hysterically funny to tragic to sexy unexpectedly… really you want to read it. And having started it, you will, really truly, need to see it carried to completion. So go read it, and then let Bloodcult know you’re not content to be abandoned. BCoF’s own warnings on the story were:
Dark Comedy and Angst. Graphic Sex, Character Death, Pimples, Gore and Unflattering Characterizations.
Not a one of which were inaccurate. So now go read. Or reread. Bloodcult of Freud, Seven Preposterous Things

Still way behind in my reading (and much else) so I have only a few recs today. A snarry, a snupin and I swear I'll get it together again. Hopefully.

I haven't kept up with the snarry_games this week - I've done nothing this week. *sigh* However, here a few recs I gathered last weekend.

To prove that I really have been in a depressing mood glum hibernation this week, there's only a few recs. But there's art as well as fic today, yay!

I'm posting this fic rec on Hwyla's behalf, as she doesn't havr an LJ or IJ. It was originally posted as a comment on my entry: "Snape and his women". The rec below is taken verbatim from Hwyla's comment.
Rec for The Birthday Present by excessivelyperky.
EDIT: Totalreadr from LL has asked me to add a prostitution warning, and I'd like to direct you to her comment about sex/romance below. Thanks totalreadr - I appreciate people pointing me to warnings that have been missed.
Also warning for abuse including sexual abuse, and angst.
Elethian also points out that the fic is a massive total of ~800,000 words - see Elethian's comment below.

[...] I thought that since I was reminded of the fic I want to suggest by this subject (Snape's friendships - with Minerva and Poppy in particular) I would post it here in this section. In other words, these posts here are what reminded me of this particular fic. And a great deal of the fic is about Snape beginning to understand what it means to have true friends and truly BELIEVE they CARE for him (not pity him). It is also about the people who care for him, opening their eyes and truly seeing HIS situation.

It's AU since she began it just before HBP (bk6) and finished it just around the time DH (bk7) came out. So, canon up to the end of OotP (bk5). Because of this, Snape's background is different but with a few similarities (pureblood, but grew up on Knockturn Alley, still poor, but I'll let you read it to see the difference in abuse, etc.) And has one of the most original ideas I've read for Snape's 'nasty' disposition.

I read it faithfully, as it came out - week by week (more or less) have reread it several times since then and cried over it many times. No love interests for Snape, no lemony sex - mention of very underage slash with undertones of abuse and also of outright sexual abuse pre-Hogwarts.

Hope some of you might enjoy it! -- Hwyla

It's been a quiet week (or maybe it just seems that way becasue I've been a little unwell.) Here are some snarry_games recs, and a rec for a now-completed snupin multi-chaptered illustrated story that is guaranteed to make you smile - the story is wonderful, and the art is great (points to pretty icon).

I've been a bit obsessed with the snarry_games, and am missing my snupin rec time, so I'll sneak a little snupin and a snape rarepair into today's snarry_games-focused rec. (Must search around for other Snape slash pairing fics soon, and/or read some Snape/Hermione fics - I'm so snarry/snupin focused, that I've been guilty of ignoring other pairings. It has always been my intent to rec more than just my OTP and favoured pairings.)

Hello everyone, well I finally got an IJ account so I decided to head over to this community and belatedly thank you all for lightening my mood after the release of Deathly Hallows which disappointed me so much on so many levels. I can't believe it's been two years already.

And just to make this post a little more legitimate, I give you this little fic I wrote at that time:

THE OTHER WORLD (click)
rating: PG
words: 2994
characters: Severus Snape, others mentioned
genre: general, humor
summary: Some time after the events of the Deathly Hallows, Severus Snape gets a look at his own, very much unauthorized, biography

Keep cool, Snapedom!

An overload of snarry fic and art recs from this year's snarry_games. A corresponding dearth of snupin and other pairings.

A big snarry, a little snarry and three snupin recs.

EDIT: Sylvana, I'm sorry, I've f___ked-up the tags. *sigh* Would you mind removing the 'fannish magic' tag. Sorry. *blush*
