There is absolutely nothing here to catalog right now, so I need something to read. I am almost to the point of actually digging something out of the favourites I've spent over four years collecting (although more valuable in that vein, I suppose, is the offline saving of everything favorited, because a good deal of it isn't online anymore - but that's at home and I'm at work), or browsing back in old Snarry Games or Snapely Holidays fests. Any suggestions? As usual I want to read soemthing with Severus in it, and honestly I could go for something gen right now; the usual suspects on pairings are fine too (Lily, Sirius, Regulus, Harry, Draco), but I'm not in the mood to try to wrap my head around a rarepair (Ron, Kingsley...). Looking for something medium to longish, by which I mean about 30-60k. No heavy kink content (BDSM scenes and the like, as well as bestiality, necro, the common squicks of that sort) and no non-con or graphic torture. Dub-con and mild chan OK (younger participant 15 or older). Old stuff now canon-shafted is fine. Any rating but plot preferred to smex-heavy at the moment.

To give you an idea, I just got done re-reading

perverse_idyll's When the Rose and the Fire Are One (though a tad on the long side), which she just reposted on FFN, and was thinking of going at The White Road again, which I loved in the Snarry Holidays in which it was posted (and as I recall was a breakout/runaway hit).

I am going to rec something so old that you've probably already read it, but I'll rec it just in case. :)

Oh, on a side note, I was wondering if you'd heard about these two fests?

They seem like something which might work well with your liking for reading Severus. :)

On the contrary, "so old" makes them harder to find. I certainly wasn't in fandom in 2002.

Yes, I have heard of both of those. The person running Silver Doe took the opportunity where I did not.

Very true! A lot of the older stuff does vanish, as it tended to be hosted on free servers, which went the way of the dodo these past five years or so.

re Small Truce - nice suggestion! I liked it.

Glad you liked it!
