No, no. Your children are safe with us. Really.

This is for meri_oddities, whose birthday has arrived. I felt that the topic was appropriate, for a meta written for her, since her stories were chief among the crack that pulled me into this pairing. Happy Birthday, dear. I hope you enjoy this.

( The attractions of cross-gen, done in shades of Snarry )

We'll pretend I posted this before midnight, eh?

This is for the lovely bethbethbeth, who graces fandom with good humor and polished skills. I hope you had a wonderful birthday at Terminus, dear! And that you enjoy this, whenever you see it.

Title: Sparkling Clean
Pairing: Harry/Snape
Rating: Eh. Hard R or NC-17, depending on your tastes
Warnings: Nary a one, for kinks. But if you want to stay completely unspoiled for the Twilight series, don't click.
A/N My thanks to my Twitter enabler/betas: Femme, Atrata, Lola, and Catrinella for the quick read-through and the ebullient ending.

Summary: Harry's a fan. Snape is not.

( Sparkling Clean )

Yes, End Times are near, dear readers. Because emmagrant01, a widely-respected H/D writer, has written a Snarry. Of sorts.

I'd always heard that she was a very talented writer, but had never tested this assertion for myself, because . . . well, I think you all know how irrational and unreasonable I am on the subject of Draco. God only knows how my friends put up with this. So, I was taking it on trust, about how good she is.

No more. Now, I know for myself.

Title: 101 Uses for a Pensieve
Author: emmagrant01
Pairing Oh, the one that tastes best, my dears. Plus Lupin. SS/RL/HP and SS/RL. Sort of.
Rating: That would be NC 17, and oh, how that has been missing from my life the last few days.
Warnings: Nope


I'd say it's a sure bet that Snape left behind a helluva lot of memories for Harry. Far too many to look at in Book 7, I mean. But Emma has some marvelous ideas about what Harry might find, if he looks through what's in there, later on.

Any Snape-centric reader has read a lot of pensieve sex stories. But this one? Is one of the most creative and inventive examples I've seen. God yes, this is surely how wizards use pensieves. I mean, they have to be miles better than DVDs. As Harry discovers.

Go read. This is erotic, well-constructed, and original. And just what we needed, right now.

The last chapter of this was posted just a day before DH came out, and I've been waiting to rec it until all the DH-related meta and wank died down a bit. Because the fact that I'd rec this was always a foregone conclusion. It is, beyond question, one of the major Snarry novels, and it's now complete.

She pulled it off, in other words.

Title: Cambiare Podentes: Madurare (link is to the author's list of chapters for this volume)
Author: jordangrant
Pairing Snape/Harry
Rating NC 17
Warnings Hmm. Nothing terribly dark. There's partner betrayal, but I don't think even very hardcore romance lovers will be put off by how it's done. The novels are AU by definition, since they were begun before the publication of HBP.

Summary: The second volume and conclusion to jordangrant's award-winning Cambiare Podentes: Invocare. Snape and Harry must cross powers, within the framework of an enslavement bond, in order to defeat Voldemort.


She's done it. jordangrant has completed what will surely be ranked as one of the most important Snape/Harry novels, Cambiare Podentes. And the second volume is as smoothly-written, clever, and engaging as the writer's earlier novel.

CP is a huge accomplishment in the world of fanfic. She starts with a very canon-compliant rendering of Snape and Harry, post OoTP (and God, they loathed each other) and slowly but relentlessly brings them to a very different place. I am not going to spoil you for this, but I will say that the second volume is creative, and takes its time to build to a conclusion that most readers will find utterly persuasive.

Many of you will already have read this, since I know that large numbers of Snape/Harry fans pounced on this eagerly. But if you haven't read it yet, you have a real treat ahead of you.

Just make sure that you had nothing planned in RL for a couple of days, eh? Because this is hard to put down.
