Recs

Wrong on So Many Levels
Barbarella (no email given)
NC17
Summary: Ron has been very suspicious of his best friend's behaviour recently. But he still shouldn't have done *this*...
My Comments: An excellent HP/SS PWP(although I think it has a bit of plot, what with Ron's character changing to seem to accept homosexuals as not being dirty or disgusting) told from Ron's POV. I loved Ron's voice in this, even though I normally hate the guy, Barbarella pulls him off with a great deal of skill. This is exactly what would go through Ron's head if he saw Harry getting fucked by the 'Greasy Git.' The ending is very good and the description of the sex was fan-fuck-ing-tastic! A simply gorgeous fic that really sheds a beautiful light on Harry and Severus' relationship and Ron's character.

Remember Your Heart

Summary: After Voldie's destruction, Harry takes Snape into his home to care for him. Can there be reconciliation?
My Comments: I don't know why I didn't rec this sooner. This story is the perfect example to compare any Severus/Harry relationship to. This is the idle to strive for. A slow progression, fluid, beautiful, perfect. Both characters are wonderfully IC, even Severus, who is deeply traumatized by his past. The ending is hopeful and realistic. Some scenes are fun to read the first time, but are a bit too much description for the second time around when reading it over again. Overall, the story is very good, but I'm recommending this souly for the relationship and interaction between Severus and Harry.

Every Time You Leave
Mia Ugly (no email given)
NC17
Summary: Harry and Severus only seem to meet up to say goodbye.
My Comments: The characters are wondefully IC throughout. Even during the sex scenes --which by the way, were superbly written! I've only seen a few others written like that, and they're also perfect in the way they portray real sex between two human beings who are passionate for each other.

   This fic is also a story that gets my own emotions going, which is something a fic hasn't done for a while. This one makes me want to smack Severus' along side the head when he's too stupid and timid to say anything, yet I want to hug him too when he's being so self-concious. I also liked Severus' perspective throughout the piece, it's always interesting to read from his point of view. Even the side characters, such as Minerva, were well written and I absolutely loved that they didn't take up a large portion of the fic, even if they played a somewhat big role in getting the two together. Because I always hate when someone else intrudes upon my much needed Severus/Harry time.     So, overall of course, a beautiful story that I highly recommend. I'll definitely be looking back over the sex scene sometime in the far future for insperation ^_^

Conduits of Sorcery
Penumbra (pen_and_umbra) (no email given)
NC17
Summary: It's a Triwizard Tournament year and Harry returns to Hogwarts as one of the Tournament organisers. What he had hoped would be a quiet year with old friends turns to something quite different when Lucius Malfoy shows sudden interest in wizarding sports.
My Comments: A wonderful fic. Long, a good read that you can really sink your teeth into. The gradual progression of Severus' and Harry's relationship is well written. The sex scenes... ooh, the sex scenes, absolutely hot, sexy, stunning. They were truly a joy to read. The banter between Severus and Harry is the high point of this fic; and for anyone who knows me, they all know that the banter between the two is one of the things I love most about the Severus/Harry pairing. A reviewer, named, 'spazlady2002' says it best: "Each chapter has something of its own that I just love." I have to agree with her. There's a favourite line/paragraph in every chapter. And after finishing this fic, I have to admit I'll miss reading the author's sarcastic, yet oh so caring and sweet, Severus Snape. It's rare when an author hits both Harry and Severus' characters spot on.  But she does it. I also love the way Severus is callous and blunt, but sometimes he gives off the faintest hint of caring that he's unable to hide, and you could miss it if you weren't reading between the lines or weren't really paying attention. The only downside to this story: I found some of the diologue between other characters boring and too many details (not description details, since those were nicely done, in fact, there could have been more), but plot details and other tiny things. Other than that, this fic was excellent. Hell, there wasn't even any grammar mistakes I could see. Oh, and did I mention the sexy sex scenes? I thought I had ^^
Favourite Lines: "Yes," Harry said, smiling broadly at his ever-prickly former professor. "Think about it, you'll have an entire year with me again."
"How lovely," said Snape, and Harry could almost hear his teeth grind.
"I thought so, too."
"You've grown your hair longer," Harry said in a fit of spontaneity. "Why?"
Indeed, Snape's hair reached halfway to his elbow, and it shifted across his shoulders as he dropped his head onto his palm. "So that you'd have a topic with which to natter on to me."
   that voice was like vintage wine, mulled with spices and spiked with barbs.
   the slick feel of Snape's hair between his fingers and the warm smell of spices and heated copper cauldrons [It's such a unique Snape scent, I love it and I fear I may use it in the future]
   [Every sex scene is good enough to put on my favourite lines, but alas, it's too much]

Mirror Magic
Go Seaward
NC17
Summary: Snape has a stalker and a fiftieth birthday.
My Comments: A lovely read. My favourite scene is definitely the ending. I love the idea of Severus seeing how Harry sees him (and himself, which is also an interesting, if brief, perception of how people can see themselves as something that is completely different from the way others see them). I also like the mirror magic, it's very unique. I also liked how the fic was all in Severus' point of view. It was interesting to see his thought patterns. A good read over all, I highly recommend it if only for the ending, which I have to say again that I love.
Answers Challenge: From Snarry Fuh-Q-Fest - three word challenge - contrition, voluptuous, bloodthirsty. And is also including Telanu's challenge.
Favourite Lines: The slight difference was Potter's perception, he decided. Looking at himself, he seemed...noble. Normally, he saw only his age when he looked in the mirror. Through Potter's eyes, he seemed respectable, older but not old. His presence was also larger, as if he took up more room. Potter himself looked expressionless. His eyes didn't show any of the emotions Severus was used to seeing in them, and the glasses, instead of being endearing, were too large and disfiguring. Instead of looking handsome and young, Potter seemed slightly too thin and pale, as well as childish. Did he really see himself as so unattractive, and Severus as so attractive?

The Care of Infants
Stellahobbit
NC17
Summary: A curse from Voldemort regresses Harry to infancy. Snape must protect him while the Order tries to find a way to reverse the spell.
My Comments: She takes an idea that isn't used often (although it is cliche) and makes it her own. Beautifully original, description is marvelous and not over done, emotions are wonderfully written and best of all, it's from Snape's point of view.

I loved his and Harry's slow, at times very slow (one step forward, two steps back), relationship. Severus slowly transforming (or loosening up rather) as Harry is an infant is truly a sight to behold.

This was a great read and I say it's the best Harry-turns-into-infant-Snape-takes-care-of-him fic out there (say that ten times fast ^^ lol). I highly recommend reading it.

   The lemon scenes were also very nicely done. Not too long and tedius, just the perfect length.
Favourite Lines: Snape retired early soon after dinner and stared at the ceiling as he lay in bed and listened to Potter masturbate in the room next door.
   When Potter was too irritable to be left on his own, Snape would hang him in the corner.
   “I thought I might give you some peace.”
His mattress lowered as Harry snuck under the covers. “How am I supposed to have that if I don’t have you?”
   [Week 70 has the best paragraph, so I'll just say to look for that instead of copying the whole thing]

A Taste of Liberty
Lamardeuse
NC17
Summary: Before the final battle, Harry Potter plays hooky and learns about another world.
My Comments: A beautiful story and well written fic. I love crossovers that are well written, especially if they feature Brian and Justin.

The lemon is excellent; emotions perfectly portrayed and movements so delicious.

The diologue is superb and wonderfully IC. I especially love Severus' character and Harry's determination to get him to see that he is capable of love.

The plot is original and the story line and action is excellent.

The sub characters (the OCs and Ron and Hermione) kind of irked me since I hate any limelight being stolen from Snarry, but I just skipped over their parts unless they were talking about Harry or Severus.

I highly rec this fic for those who love snarry and for those who love QAF.
Favourite Lines: [There are too many to put here.]

Aqua Fresca
Stellahobbit
NC17
Summary: Set immediately after OotP, Harry witnesses Severus suffering under an unusual curse. Both of them struggle to come to terms with the new intimacy that springs up between them because of the vision. If you don’t like vampire fics, don’t read this.
My Comments: A single word can describe this fic: Beautiful. Beautiful and precise characterization. Intriguing and amusing diologue.

Beautifully written sex scenes that actually make me want to read them and not skip over them as in most mundane fics.

Pronouns in the beginning could have been clarified, but otherwise, this fic was perfect.

A happy ending, though I fully expected it to end sadly and be terribly disapointed.

Everything about this story, including the wonderfully written lemon scenes, diologue and vampirism, was perfect and I highly recommend this fic.
Favourite Lines: Snape held him close to his body and rolled over, his nearly dry hair hanging limply over the boy’s face. "Mister Potter," he whispered, ghosting his lips over Harry’s cheekbones and nose. "It would give me great pleasure to fuck you."
Snape closed his eyes and sighed, uncrossing his arms and throwing himself dramatically back onto the pillows. "Very well. Have your way with me and be done with it."
[Both the above quotes would make absolutely lovely pictures ^^]

Until I Have You (sequel - Until I Save You)
Deep Emerald
NC17
Summary: It's Harry's final year and he can't figure Snape out. When the man's not humiliating him, he's trying to snog him rotten. This, combined with Draco's predatory stalking, is driving Harry mad!
My Comments: A beautiful, absolutely wonderful, fic! I was laughing out loud in some spots and I was glad I was alone while reading since my family would have looked at my quite oddly ^^

I love the lemon and Snape's characterization, though I do wonder at the drastic change of Snape when Harry doesn't confront him on his fears.

The time jumping actually makes total sense, unlike some fics out there that completely fly over my head.

I love Harry and Severus' son and I love the original and creative idea that males can only have one child and that it's always a male.

This is definitely a good read and something I could read over and over again ^^ Hell, I even like Hermione in this, and that's rare, believe me ^^

Oh yeah, did I mention that it's a 'Snape pursues Harry' story line? Bet you're interested now, huh? ^_^
Favourite Lines (though it's an ANs, but it still counts ^^): Snape’s Simple Three-Step Guide to Seduction. Step one: Establish the other party’s interest in your person by grabbing said party’s crotch and gauging reaction. Step Two: Once mutual interest has been determined, take all necessary steps to protect your own arse should said seduction be less than successful. Step Three: Order newly acquired partner to stop yabbering and deposit themselves, forthwith, into your bed. Ah, Snape.

Pariah
Aucta Sinistra
PG
Summary: Dashed off because I was challenged to do "Snape pursues Harry" :)
My Comments: A lovely and rare, Snape pursues Harry plot ^^ I absolutely love it. Besides being original in it's plot line of having Snape go after Harry, (and remain IC to boot!) it's also very original in the way that Sev goes after Harry with his letters.

The ending is very nice and makes me smile. Definitely a nice read that gives you the cozy feeling of wearing your most comfortable bathrobe and sitting beside the warm fire on a cold winter day.
Favourite Line: Oh yes … that was it. Mint and tea and Snape and … oh yes …

Arthur Comes Out
Darth Stitch
PG
Summary: In a word, Arthur James Potter-Snape comes out. To "Daddy" and "Papa." Heh.
My Comments: It's short and sweet. And it seems light hearted, yet this is exactly what one imagines when the parents are gay.

   I enjoyed this story for the simple fact that it's realistic.

Flogging the Bond
Lux
PG13
Summary: An evil plan is afoot and Dumbledore must evoke that time-honored tradition of -- wait for it -- the *bonding* ceremony. Because as we all know, bonding is just a fancy way of getting married with a few extra perks.
My Comments: It's the perfect fic for those that want to do a mpreg or a bonding fic. It's everything *not* to do.

Recovery
Diagonalist
NC17
Summary: After a marriage not wanted on either side Harry and Snape are thrown together and forced to learn to accept each other.
Answers Challenge: A2 – Harry needs comforting after Sirius' death
A7 – Sirius leaves something to Harry that Snape wants. Badly.
B3 – Harry sees a sexual fantasy about himself in Snape's pensieve
B8 – Snape refuses to accept Harry for his sixth-year potions class,
even though Harry's OWL was acceptable.
C2 – Snape notices the scar on Harry's hand from his detentions with
Umbridge and confronts him about it.
C4 – The decree that lets professors read student's mail isn't
revoked, and Snape intercepts a few owls from/to Harry.
My Comments: While the plot needs some fleshing out (example; 'why does Severus take the mirror?' 'Was the mastubation scene on purpose?' 'Did Sev intentionally screw up that potion?' 'Was there really another way to... extract that potion from Harry's body?').
But other than that, the story was excellent. Harry's reaction after the 'rape' was good, not into too much detail as I would usually hope, but it does show a slow progression, which is good. Same goes for the pair's relationship (or lack there of).
Severus and Harry are wonderfully IC. And even without reading the challenges, it's obvious that Severus has been intercepting Harry's letters, both in and out of Hogwarts.

Patesco
Diannan
NC17
Summary: Harry gets detention for mouthing off, and Severus refuses to absolve him of the crimes that are driving Harry to the brink.
My Comments: Wow... this fic is beautiful. Defense mechanisms at their best. I love the whole theme of Potter and Harry, two entirely different people. It's like Snape and Severus. One's a bastard who ridicules people, the other is a bastard who loves witticism and getting rises out of people and is loyal, kind -to a point, and loving, deep down.

Opposites Still Attract
Dementor Delta
NC17
Summary: Harry wonders what wizards do for porn. Snape has something he's always wanted to try.
My Comments: Wow.. just wow. Sensual, romantic, and excellent lemon scenes. Sev loves having his feet played with, now who doesn't love that? ^^
Very wonderful fic. Short, only took me about 20 minutes to read. But definitely sweet. The ending had me smiling. Hell, some of the dilogue in this had me grinning.
I love banter between Severus and Harry, I love easy conversation and lazy snuggling, easy touches, this fic has it.

A Convenient Marriage
Diana Williams
NC17
Summary: (not offical) Casey issued this challenge: "It's after the war. The good side has won but Lucius has managed to wiggle out of it, though his finances are now less than they were. To bring back prestige and money, he invokes an old law that says a house could attach itself to another by marriage, with little recourse to the other house. Lucius obviously chooses Harry. The only hope Harry has is that it is allowed for another witch or wizard to step up and duel Lucius for the right to marry HP (marriage must be consummated with Veritaserum given the next morning for proof). Snape is the only one who qualifies."
Answers Challenge: Sirius must ask/beg Snape to marry (and consummate the marriage) with Harry.
My Comments: I felt the feelings from Harry were a bit sudden. He goes from liking Severus a bit, to full out loving him. Maybe love is like that, I don't know. But it would have been nice to see more progression of the relationship. This definitely doesn't beat My Man Friday in the forced marriage department.

A Wizard's Bond
Devi the Wynter Wytch
R
Summary: When pragmatism and idealism clash, Harry finds that ignorance really is bliss.
My Comments: A very well written piece. Some good possibilities for a sequel, though at the same time it's good as is.
Very nice fic with IC characters. It also features a logical reason for Severus' apperance. Oh yeah, and some really awesome sex scenes when Harry dreams ^^
Favourite Lines:
Part of being equal was giving in return.
"I guess I just realized that being even and being equal aren’t necessarily the same thing."
[Both are very mature thoughts from Harry.]

Sanguis-Vinculum
Meri
NC17
Summary: (not offical) It basically starts out with a potion gone wrong. Ron and Hermione want to put their powers together and bind themselves to Harry so they can help him defeat Voldemort with the help of their powers. Instead, well Severus comes upon them and ends up wrecking the potion, thus changing the outcome of the inital potion.
My Comments: An excellent forced bonding fic! Severus and Harry are very much IC, even when the bond starts forcing them to anamosity.
With the occasional touches, the full out snogging, the very sweet cuddling, it's like the whole story builds up until the climax, in the very literal sense, at the end ^^ I absolutely *loved* the ending. The easy affection in the epilogue was very sweet too. The sex was amazing. And Severus was once again the Slytherin Sex God ^^ He was comfortable in his own skin, scars and all, and he definitely didn't mind Harry looking at him ^^ Harry doesn't think he's all that cute, but Sev bags to differ ^^

The Devil will Drag you Under
Dementor Delta
NC17
Summary: Harry must marry Snape for his own protection. Only a legality for seven years, of course.
Answers Challenge: #10 One of the requirements for entering Hogwarts is a sexual 'coming of age' ceremony, which must be performed with one of the staff prior to school starting.
My Comments: Very good fic. The relationship doesn't really progress though, and that's the only thing I find fault with. The diologue is sweet. The sex scenes are very well written. I particulary like the ending sex scene. It's very sweet and cute ^^

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
FemmeSlash
NC17
Summary: Harry gets a mysterious present and an STD--both in the same week.
My Comments: Bloody brilliant ^^ The lemon scenes are excellent and the build up to them is fantastic. I'm drooling here and trying to cover up the puddle ^^
The ending is really sweet too ^^ Through the whole ending I was smiling ^^
Favourite Lines: Snape reached up and plucked the glasses from his face, folding the legs and setting them with extreme care on the floor. He smiled down at Harry. "Say that again." He closed his fingers around Harry's prick.
He raised his eyebrows as Snape's bare cock slipped into his hand. "No pants, Professor?"
Snape bit his shoulder. "I don't care for them."
Harry moaned. "I'll never manage to get that image out of my mind during our next Potions class."
Snape's sharp bark of laughter was muffled against Harry's collarbone. "Good."
"Does he look Confounded to you?" He turned his glare on Harry. "Ignore the insipid look of banality in eyes; that's Harry's normal expression."
"Oi!" Harry wrinkled his nose at his lover. "You're not helping."
Snape smirked down at him. "Is the truth too much for you, Potter?"
Harry exhaled in exasperation. "Behave." He tapped his index finger on the end of Snape's nose

The Secret Guardian Angel (sequel - The War for the Orphans)
Nerd-girl
R
Summary: Harry is aged by 10 years and it's up to the snarky Potions Master to find the cure, but they end up finding each other.
My Comments: Excellent fic ^^ Very romantic and sweet. Characters are lovely and IC. Sev is so IC and Slytherin, but without being cruel, evil maybe ^^ lol ^^ I love this fic.
For once, there is no chan slash. Harry is above the age of consent, since Sev refuses to be a pedophiler.
I highly rec this fic ^^ The sex scenes are *really* good ^_^ You'll have to go to Inkstained Fingers for it, or like me, be apart of the mailing list for SeverusxHarry ^^ Which is of course where I get all my fics from.

Something to Live For
Accio Snape
R
Summary: (not offical) Harry's close to the edge and Severus is the only one that can pull him back.
My Comments: This is around the 3+ time I've read this fic. Features a wonderfully Angsty!Suicidal!Harry and an IC Severus, who still manages to be warm and cuddly ^^
A bit different from the usual suicide fics, and it comes with an alternate ending. I've read it, and believe me, even though the subject is sad, it's not. So a great read over all ^^ Especially for any Angsty!Harry fans ^^

My Man Friday
Enahma
NC17
Summary: The clichéd idea: Harry has to marry Snape. He tries to resist, and Snape isn't happy either. But Dumbledore insistent (as always), and the result is an unhappy, arranged marriage.
My Comments: This has to be the best SeverusxHarry forced bonding fic I have ever read. And I'm not exagerating. I've read a *lot* of fics; specificaly, SeverusxHarry ones. But this one is definitely the best by far.
Everyone is very IC. The emotions are portrayed beautifully, and very well done from a third person point of view. Usually you get more emotion from first person, but this author pulls off everything beautifully.
Some scenes.. well, they're so touching they made my chest ache. And I was feeling Harry's pain right along with him.
Over all, this fic is very original. The author takes an unoriginal idea, and somehow twits it into an original, beautiful, work. If I had a top 5 for bonding fics, this would be number 1. There's no doubt about that.
I personally have this one pet peeve, where if the relationship is rushed, I find myself hating the rest of the story, no matter how good the rest of it is. But while Severus and Harry get pushed into marriage and having sex, that by no way means that they're emotional, or even romantically involved. This story is very touching with the way you get to see Harry's emotions gradually change and grow. The only thing that would make this fic even better (though it's hard to do that, since it's already so good), is if there were some parts from Severus' POV. Hell, it would be *really* nice if Enahma wrote a type of sequel to the fic, but it's basically just the same fic, but from Severus' POV. It would definitely be one hell of a story.

Parseltongue-tied
DementorDelta
NC17
Summary: Harry makes friends with one of nature's shy creatures.
My Comments: Excellent fic! I've read this one I think around.. 4-6 times ^_^ It's that good. And it has my fav subject in it, bestiality. Only, this is a bit different.. but I can't say any more about that, because I'd just be reuining it for you all ^^ When I came to a certain part.. I actually went back to the beginning to re-read it all over again from a different.. view on things ^^ I highly recommend this fic.
I love Severus in this. He's very IC and so hot and sexy.. mmm *licks lips* Yummy Sev
Favourite Lines: The hands dropped and Harry closed his eyes tightly. "For god's sake! Don't tell me you never do it," he said, feeling a flush rise in his cheeks.
A definite smirk. "Not with a snake."

Flawed Lines
Diagonalist
R
Summary: Snape saves Harry from the Dursleys and realises that there is more to Harry than he's always assumed. They grow closer as he helps Harry to recover.
My Comments: Very well written, Sev is a bit too emotional, but he remains in IC bounds. Harry is just perfect! Angsty, suicidal, fucking sweet ^^ The perfect mixture ^_^ I highly recommend this fic.
Favourite Lines: "Just so you know," Harry said petulantly to the darkness, "I'm sulking."
"Just so you know," came the response a minute later, "I'm smiling."
'Harry had other ideas, the fingers twisted in his hair and the arms tightened around him in an attempt to direct him to the other's lips once more. How could he resist when such a delicious picture was presented to him? Harry's eyes soft and glazed over with desire, his cheeks flushed, his whole body trembling slightly. Even Severus Snape had limits on his self control. And they had apparently already been breached.'

An Unconventional Relationship (part: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Epilogue)
TCRegan & Sophie Richard (no email given)
NC17
Summary: Harry's time at the Dursley's has left him with some rather odd quirks that only Snape can help him work out.
My Comments: Just... wow! This takes Abused!Harry to a whole different level. Definitely original. I'm a huge fan of the fics where Sev saves Harry from the Dursley's, so you can imagine how much I enjoyed this. Especially when it was so originaly written. Hell, Sev didn't even show up at their door demanding to see Harry like in some of the fics. In this, Sev finds out gradually what's happening, due to Harry's compulsive disorder in cleaning. Very good read. I believe this was my 2nd or 3rd time reading it.

Wrapped around your Finger
Gizy
NC17
Summary: After defeating Voldemort during the Easter holidays of his seventh year, Harry has only one ambition for his life after graduation; becoming Snape's Apprentice and partner.
My Comments: This fic is bloody brilliant ^^ The following quote had me laughing my ass off ^^ If this isn't reason enough to read it, then I don't know what is ^^ Sev is IC, but he's more relaxed and care free at the same time. Harry is both sexy and inncoent ^^ It's all a very good combination. I highly recommend this fic.
Favourite Lines: Here's a bit from chapter 13:
Harry grinned at her, his green eyes bright with laughter as he said, "Professor McGonagall, ma'am, I've not run into many ladies intent on assaulting my virtue, but I promise I do know how to get rid of them without hexing them. All I have to do is tell them I'm a poofter."
Minerva frowned, ignoring Severus' snicker at that as she asked in very clipped tones, "And can you rid yourself of a persistent young man as easily Mr. Potter?"
Harry's grin didn't fade a bit as he replied, "Yes ma'am, it's very simple. I would just act disgusted and tell them I'm straight."
Minerva fumed at that as Severus smirked at Harry and asked, "And what if one of the young men who has made a pass at you talks to one of the ladies?"
"I hide behind you," Harry replied immediately, his green eyes sparkling with laughter.

Dear Harry
Slaine Trevelyan
NC17
Summary: Snape writes a letter to Harry.
My Comments: Very touching letter. I love the things not said. The ending is superb and I love the wording difference between Severus' thoughts, and what he's actually writing in the letter.

Loving Potions
Tara Tory
R
Summary: Voldemort tries to get to Harry with a love potion. It backfires. Most of the action takes place at a potions conference. The story includes the traditional Snape takes Harry from the Dursleys scene.
My Comments: Excellent fic! Very well written. This is my 2nd time reading it. Features a mature Harry, posessive Sev (now who doesn't love that?), and IC for all ^_^
Their relationship is quick to take place, but as Sev says, he doesn't do courtship the normal way. He just shows up at the Dursley's doorstep, looking all sexy and hot ^^    You've got to read it! Very well done over all. Original too. Excellent lemon scenes and I love the introduction of the world to Harry by Severus. Magic is gone into in detail and it's interesting to read about and the author really is creative and I think could give JK a run for her money, or at least help her out with the creation of the wizarding world.
Favourite Lines: Harry found those almost silent catches of breath or tiny gasps to be incredibly arousing.

Home for Christmas
Corgi (no email given)
PG13
Summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts just in time for Christmas when the current Defence against the Dark Arts teacher dies.
My Comments: Really sweet fic. After reading this, the saying 'home is where the heart is' made a hell of a lot more sense ^^
Go to Edit, and then find. Just type in Home for Christmas, and you'll find the fic. It's on a list of a bunch of other fics.

The Return of the Prodigal
Clotho Lachesis Atropo
R
Summary: Harry is transported to the past and has to return the hard way... One day at a time.
My Comments: Not the greatest time traveling fic, but the characters are IC, and Harry is really hot ^^ lol The whole fic is a bit rushed, and could be slowed down, but I guess when you think about, Harry did wait 20 years.. read to find out why and how ^_^

The Courtship of Harry Potter
Diana Williams
NC17
Summary: Another teacher's interest in Harry Potter forces a reluctant Snape to compete for the young man affections.
My Comments: Another fic where Harry and Severus are very IC. I found the plot line very original, the ending very sweet ^^ and Severus is down right hot in this fic.. *sigh* I wish I had my own Sevvie to push me against the wall and snog me sensless ^_^

Severus and the Crup
Josan (no email given)
NC17
Summary: (not offical) The wizarding world loses its magic, find out how wizards cope and how one young man had managed to keep a little bit of his magic, along with Severus.
My Comments: Very well written story. Original and an interesting read. This was around my.. 3rd time reading it ^^

Worthy
Annymc
R
Summary: A little post-liaison talk and reflection.
My Comments: I love Severus in this. Him putting his job on the line for Harry to comfort him just when he's about to fall over the edge and to respond to Harry's question only *after* he's asleep, it's just so... him. A very short fic, but manages to convey a long lasting relationship. Beautiful work.

The Medean Curse: A Romantic Comedy
Lydia Lovestruck
NC17
Summary: Harry's impotent. Snape's got the cure. But he wants something in return!
My Comments: I love how Remus only seems to like Severus *after* he's 'changed' while Harry gets angry that the man changes for Remus and he's still expecting flowers and roses from the guy even though Severus has changed himself for Remus to like him, going to great lengths to do so.

The most memorable scene is when Severus and Harry check out some guy ^^ I also love the slow build up of their relationship, starting off as loose friends. I like how Harry's behaviour and attitude and thoughts of the man slowly change, barely noticeable if one doesn't look. I also loved the sex scene in this near the end. It's interesting and doesn't make me skip ahead like other fics, even if they are Snarry. I like the little banter between them, makes sex interesting and more than just mechanics ^^
Favourite Lines: "And what do you imagine when you're alone and you're stroking yourself, hm?" (Can you just imagine Severus' voice saying this? *melts into a pile of moosh*)
"And what am I doing in that wickedly active imagination of yours? Tell me. Tell me everything..."

All Things Considered
Claggart
PG13
Summary: Harry thought going to war would be better than staying with the Dursleys. Too young to enlist, he sneaks on board a ship departing for war. When he is discovered, Severus Snape, an officer, is told to take care of him until he can be sent back home.
My Comments: Beautiful fic. I just want to hug Severus for being so sweet and caring towards Harry. This is by far, the most original AU fic I've come across yet (any anyone who knows me, will know how much I read every day). There weren't even any grammar or spelling mistakes that I could see, and who doesn't love that? This is definitely a gem amongst muddy rocks on fanfiction.net; not a fic I would have expected to come across on that site. I even liked the brief description of Severus' body. I got a clear picture in my mind of bronzed skin, firm muscles, strong arms and the kind of bulging muscle on thighs that make you want to run your hand over them. *sighs happily* Truly a wonderful read.

Summary: Snape tutors Harry, Harry faces Voldemort, Snape and Harry do the nasty, blah blah blah. Same old thing. Oh – there's a cat as well.
My Comments: A beautiful piece of work. The lemon scenes are fantastic. The training and action scenes are nicely done.

The slow build up of the relationship between Severus and Harry is excusite. I loved the tiny detail of compairing things to a cat's motion, since the title is Harry's cat, Scratch, who takes an odd liking to Severus.

A very beautiful fic and deserves to be re-read again and again. And as you can see, there are quite a few favourite lines. The only thing that I thought would benifit the story more is if we saw Severus' POV more often.
Favourite Lines: Fresh from sleep his [Snape] voice was gentle and warm; Harry wanted to curl up in it.
Harry looked at the ceiling for a moment, then back at the damn' bunny. He squared his shoulders and the bunny flicked its ears at him.
Alarming, rough, more desperate than erotic, but Harry hung on, opening himself to Snape's wild kisses until they were melded against one another, burning, melting, a single delirious storm of desire.
a man could be rid of something without being in the least free of it.
Snape grabbed him, fastening their mouths together in a kiss - no, not a kiss; Snape fucked Harry's mouth with his tongue, hard, insistent, irresistible, and Harry gave in, head spinning.
His tone was cocoa and cinnamon, the heat of desire seasoned with a faint spicy amusement that made Harry laughed and groan at the same time.
he figured if there was any animal Snape might tolerate, it would be a snobbish, aloof, selfish creature like a cat.
