First off... With so many things happening around here at once, I've neglected to mention:

FIC: Raising Severus by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

(Snape/Harry; ~16,000 words; R/adult)
Wow, as soon as I saw this posted I knew I was in for a treat. Not everyone can boast 16K of Snarry, can they?? The author combines a couple of familiar devices with some innovative interpretations of magic and magical artefacts to create a new way of bringing Snape back -- and bringing him into contact with Harry. A cast that includes a startlingly perceptive Ron and a Harry who's so clueless about his own love life that even Kreacher knows what's up before he does makes for some hilarious moments. Fans of sweetly romantic Snarry should check this one out.
Two more fromsnapelyholidays:
FIC: The Riddle of Severus Snape byeeyore9990
(Snape/Harry; ~9,500 words; NC-17/adult)
Two days after Harry's been promoted to Head Auror, he has quite a problem dumped in his lap. Snape has mysteriously resurfaced, and he has no memory of his life. The answer to the mystery is uniquely brilliant, and the means by which Snape's memories are restored allows him and Harry to get to know each other in unexpected stages. There are hilarious misunderstandings and angsty moments all leading up to a satisfying (and tasty!) conclusion. Well worth the read -- if there's anyone who hasn't yet! LOL
ART: Photographs Framed in Reeds by7types
(Snape/Harry; PG/WS)
This is art created to accompany one of femmequixotic's fics, L'Ouragan. I haven't read the fic in question (yet!), but I feel as though I can tell so much about the story and its atmosphere from these illustrations. There's a raw, gritty sketchiness about this piece that's very compelling. Something about it seems to be the very essence of post-war Snarry to me.
And one rec that's not a fest piece at all, but made me squee my socks off:
FIC: Curse and Counter bycluegirl
(Snape/Harry; ~19,000 words; NC-17 liek whoa)
Summary: A chance discovery two years after the war leads Severus to realize that he and Harry Potter share far more than he had ever realized. Now if only they can get past the dick-measuring and work out a solution... I left a long, flaily comment on this fic, and I'm not sure I did it justice. I know I can't do it justice in one little paragraph here. I'll just say that the writing is fabulous, and this entire thing is an intense ride from the opening lines. There's kink in this -- oh boy is there kink in this -- but it doesn't read like kink for kink's sake. Every bit of kink is a component in a ritual, an element with a meaning. And that makes it all that much hotter. Characterization crackles from this entire piece, and both Snape and Harry are brilliant throughout. And the ending! Abjluarhgsa!! All I'll say is that it's just a whole universe of YES!
