Sev and Sirius' Excellent Adventure by (as yet anonymous, in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

(Sirius, Severus, Hagrid, PG-13, 8000 words)
Author's summary: Severus and Sirius are assigned a joint detention in the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid. Only it turns out they're not in Kansas any more.
My comment: *giggles at the title* Somehow, I don't think Severus and Sirius are that into "being excellent to each other" and "partying on, dudes". (Now having visions of "Sirius O. Black, Esq." and "Sev 'Snivellus' Snape"... oh my. Keanu Reeves as Snape. I think my brain just melted. ...Whhhoa.)
(from here, kinda spoilery with quotes; highlight to read)
"So what about this chap then?" Sirius asked, pointing at the soldier. "Is he one of the good guys or the bad guys?"
Severus regarded Sirius with a half-pitying look. "Not everything is so black-and-white. But if you must have your world compartmentalized into neat little boxes, then if he's with Guillaume -- William -- he's on the side that wins."
I like what this says about the difference between Severus and Sirius's mindsets, and how you had Severus put it. Being on the side that wins - it sounds rightly Slytherin.
"Mary Shelley. A pleasure." She held out one hand, fingers curved down. "I was just taking some air. The men will go on so late." [...] "Are you with Lord Byron's party?"
... Oh dear.
I like that Severus figured out what was really going on :) I do wonder, though, where he learned his Franklin..."

Spinner's End by chudleycannonsnumber1
(Trio, K+/PG, 2280 words)
Author's summary: This is a short oneshot where the Trio is assigned to clean out Snape's house. A little Snape tribute set after the Battle because I had to do something other than TOG.
My comment: "Nice missing scene. It would have helped if something like this were in before the Epilogue. I love the book title 'Somewhat Forgivable Curses' (I LOLed) and the idea about a possible something Arithmancy could actually be used for (calculations on charms that change space)."
It was small and cramped, chiefly due to the bookcases that covered every inch of the walls. Ron whistled impressively, rotating on the spot, his eyes roving over the brown and black leather-bound books.
"How'd you two never get along?" said Ron, smirking at Hermione, who was scanning the room in similar fashion.
