The Insomniacs' Social Club by atdelphi in hoggywartyxmasAuthor's summary: "It began, like so many Hogwarts traditions before it, as a joke."

Quote:
Which was how the lot of them ended up tiptoeing down the corridors at one o'clock in the morning, stifling ridiculous laughter and dodging the house-elves and the portraits and the suits of armour. Mr. Filch scouted ahead, looking reluctantly amused at their antics—peering around corners before giving a soft whistle and waving them on.

Into the Silence by lyras in hoggywartyxmas
Severus Snape, with appearances by Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Lily Evans, Narcissa Malfoy and assorted others; PG-13, 5500 words
Author's summary: Severus's year as headmaster of Hogwarts presents many challenges. Acceptance is the greatest of them all.

My comment: "This had me in tears at the end. So poignant. This is superb. I had to read every word slowly rather than skimming through like I often do. I won't quote favorite bits as I would surely overrun the comment limit. Just *applause* sigune is a very lucky recipient!"

Quote:
"I am reinstating a certain edict laid down by Dolores Umbridge," he says instead, "forbidding students to congregate outside of lessons."

"I trust you remember the effect that this had under the charming Dolores's reign?" Dumbledore inquires.

Now he does turn, and spares Dumbledore half a smile. "Oh, yes."

Idle Threat by sabethea
Sirius/Regulus, Severus/Sirius/Regulus; NC-17, ~4400 words
Author's summary: Severus finds Sirius and Regulus doing something brothers should not be doing, and exacts payment for his silence.
Author's warnings: Angry sex, dub-which-is-more-like-non-con, angst, darkness, incest (obviously), humiliation

My comment: "Ye gods that was delicious. Such lovely images. The dub-con aspect of it really spiced it nicely. I love this threesome."

Quote:
Sirius swears softly, a fluent litany of bad language. Severus waits for him to finish, the smirk not fading from his lips. He sees Regulus try to slip round him and away and swiftly reaches out a hand to hold the younger boy's robes and prevent his escape.

“I haven't finished with you, Regulus Black,” he says. His eyes flick back to Sirius. “I haven't finished with either of you.”

Awkward Advances by eeyore9990 & r_grayjoy in snapelyholidays
Severus/Regulus, PG, ~4200 words
Authors' summary: Regulus never misses an opportunity to bewilder and confuse Severus.

Quote:
Reaching up, Regulus brushed something from Severus' cheek, causing him to flinch backward from the contact. Regulus' mouth twitched at one corner. "You don't trust me. I don't suppose I blame you for that, but at least give me the opportunity to prove that I'm not my brother."

Delightful sweets that will make you tweet! These light, sugary treats are delicious, and will appear blissfully benign to the unsuspecting. The simple Transfiguration potion in creme filling is feathery and harmless fun. Effects last five minutes or until you moult, which ever comes first. Plucking is not advised.
