r_grayjoyFirst of all, I have to link everyone to the fab special giftie I received yesterday:
Filling the Void bypsyfic
(Snape/George; ~4,000 words; NC-17)
The way this story is told is just so neat! It's done as a side-by-side telling of the events from each character's POV, and the similarities and differences in their thoughts are so well portrayed. The fic itself is riveting and touching, and the characterizations of both Snape and George are wonderful. And uncertain virgin!Severus with a partner who (eventually) cares about his needs just hits some of my kink buttons so hard. ;D
And two belated recs:
Right Nor Wrong bykelly_chambliss
(Filch, Snape, Snape/Minerva; 11,800 words; adult)
I didn't manage to read this one until right before reveals happened, so this rec is way overdue. The story is told from Filch's POV, and wow, his voice is so incredibly vivid and authentic here. The details about his life and background are wonderful, and through his insights we get to see many subtle aspects of Snape's character and of his relationship with Minerva. A remarkably well crafted piece.
The Turning Point bybethbethbeth
(Severus/Regulus; 4,950 words; adult)
Another one I didn't get to read until late, but I'm so glad I finally got to it. The story deals with roughly 17- to 20-year-old Severus, and the characterization of young Severus is spot-on and incredibly insightful. Regulus is amazing as well; there's something Sirius-like in his demeanor, yet he has moments when he appears very young and uncertain. There's a perfectly painful ending that fits amazingly well with canon -- but also a much happier (and hot!!!) "optional" epilogue. Fabulous fic all around, and one that definitely hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Go read!
Once again, thanks and congrats topsyfic and chazpure for another great, well-run fest!
