Belated snapelyholidays Recs, Part 1

I'd been holding off on doing this until I was a bit more caught up, but since I'm running out of time before reveals happen, I thought I'd better start getting some of these up. I'm far from having checked out everything yet, but here are a few that have wowed me so far:

Art:

Double-Cross by ???
Snape/Pansy; G
This is just such a damn cool piece. It's not only a snapshot that shows us an exact instant in time; it also tells a pretty detailed story with lots of lead-up "before" and plenty of possibilities for "after". The details in this are amazing. The amount of work the artist put into it is obvious. Beyond all of that, it's a damn sexy scene regardless of the G rating!

Black Coffee and Gingersnap (Sweet) & Special Interrogation (Sour) by ???
Snape/Bill; NC-17 & Snape/Kingsley/Moody; NC-17
This is a two-part gift with the first piece (the sweet) being tasty-hot Snape/Bill pr0n and the second (the sour) being equally tasty but very differently themed Snape/Kingsley/Moody non-con. The post that's liked above, by the way, has separate links to each piece, in case you'd prefer to avoid non-con or Weasleys or something. ;)
Snape/Bill: The first word that comes to mind for this is -- GUH. There's bottom!Snape -- though he looks very much in charge, whereas Bill looks pretty damn near incoherent. The expressions, the placement of the hands, the contrasts between Snape's body and hair and Bill's... fantastic.
Snape/Kingsley/Moody: OMG, nom. Young Severus being roughed up by Aurors? Ohhh, yes. The Aurors' uniforms are cool and sexy as hell, and, well, so are Kingsley and Moody! And Snape is too, if one enjoys tormenting Snape a bit from time to time -- and don't most of us?? Ha!

Fic:

Bumblethwacker, Broken Nose and the Wizard's Finger by ???
Snape/Aberforth; NC-17; 4,414 words
OMG, this...! ::flail:: The summary: A romance (of sorts) featuring three ales, two lonely men, and one interfering older brother. Which both sums it up perfectly and doesn't even begin to tell you the layers of awesome that are in this piece. First off, Aberforth's voice is perfect from word one, and all of the characterizations are brilliant. It's a great character study of Aberforth, and of Snape through Aberforth, and of Albus through them both. Also, it's funny as hell, especially if one is fond of plays on words and not-so-subtle snarky messages. ;D

A Step in the Right Direction Might Just Land in Peacock Shit by ???
Snape/Lucius; hard R; 3,450 words
Bwahaha! Okay, so. I don't normally go for Snape/Lucius much. But this I totally go for. The relationship isn't treated as something soppy-romantic, there's a ton of great snark, and oh, by the way -- it's just really, really fun. Severus and Lucius have a rather, er, shitty problem on their shoes hands, and the attempts to solve it... well, the cure might just be worse than the disease!

All right. With any luck, there will be more to come tonight or tomorrow. For now... go check out things at snapelyholidays, and if you enjoy something, please let the author or artist know! As I'm sure you all have noticed, comments are down a bit this year, and everyone could use a boost. :)
