I have allowed my recs bookmarks folder to get way out of control. So beware the recs list of DOOOOOOOOM!
It's possible I have recced some of these before, yet they reappeared in the folder due to syncing mismatches between three installs of Pale Moon (Firefox), but whatever. If they were worth it once, surely they're worth it again. ( Read more... )
Whew! What was that, 20? I dunno, I only sort of counted the number of times I pasted in my rec template. I have a few Yuletide recs in other fandoms, but I'll save those for a different post.

Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, cameo by Lucius Malfoy; G, 3785 words
Author's summary: When Severus is offered the job of Potions Master at Hogwarts, he thinks that perhaps life might not be as desolate as it looked. Whether or not this is correct remains to be seen.
Author's warnings: Angst.
My comment: Great "missing years" piece.
Quote:
"Are you well, Severus?" Albus Dumbledore said solicitously.
"Oh yes," Severus Snape said through numb lips. "Being nearly condemned to Azkaban is such an...energizing pastime."

Eileen, Severus, OMC; AO3 rated "general audiences", 4082 words
Author's summary: It's a chocolate-scented August in the Sherwood, and there's a stormcrow at the door.
(this is about Severus buying his first wand, but not from Ollivander.)
Quote:
"And he's a Ministry toady," the woman added, scowling. "The Trace on every bleeding wand he sells."
"Southern milquetoast," Dickon agrees, making a face. "No one'd stand for that nonsense north of Kent. Now, lad, do you want your mam to stay?"

Severus/Harry, Neville, Teeny Nagini, Minerva, Draco and BAMF!Trevor; G
Author's summary: It is the annual Staff Valentine's Day Party, where lines are drawn in the sand, enemies are made and Cupid is nowhere to be found. Or is he? Yes, just your typical holiday at Hogwarts.
My comment: LOL! I love all of this. I think my favorite part is either Trevor's less-than-impressed look at his costume, or Minerva's assured delight at pointing out the missed point in Severus's logic...

Five Moments of Doubt byBagheera
Severus, Minerva, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Pomona Sprout; AO3 rated "general audiences", 5911 words
Author's summary: Five times someone doubted Snape's allegiance while he was headmaster, five moments at Hogwarts during year seven.
Quote:
Ginny swallowed. Most portraits were feigning sleep, some empty, but Dumbledore was awake and present. He raised his silver eyebrows at her, then made a shooing motion with his hand, as if to remind her of her lines. Then he leaned back in the window frame and gazed down at Snape, calm and melancholy, as if he were seeing something quite different from his murderer.

The Things Draco Carries bycatsintheattic
Draco, Pansy, Severus, Vincent, Gregory, Blaise, Malfoys; AO3 rated "teen and up", 4875 words
Author's summary: Another pure-blood will recognise you by your blood and heritage, but any commoner will recognise you by your possessions. Seven years at Hogwarts. Seven insights into Draco’s schoolbag.
Quote:
There is a Potions essay in his bag that Professor Snape has marked in Draco’s first year. He has written not too bad under the text, followed by the energetic scribble that is his signature. Knowing Snape, Draco treats the parchment as if his Professor’s script were written in ink of gold.

Last Day at the Mill by Squirrel Patronus
Tobias, Severus; rated Teen, 2016 words
Author's summary: The Mill in Cokeworth is shutting down. Tobias Snape and his son, Severus, have different ideas about the future of the city.
Quote:
He had meant to be friendly, conversational. His own son was a stranger to him. Severus smiled a ghastly grin at him. His black eyes continued to bore through his father.

Jan. 3rd, 2011 12:48 pmFear of the Forgotten by bk7brokemybrain in snape_ldws
(Severus, Neville, dark/gen, PG, ~275 words)
Snape has been preparing himself for the Second War.
My comment: "Whoa, now that's a neat (and dark) idea! Nicely done."
The Dark Lord made his choice between Potter and Longbottom. Since I cannot touch the one, I will use the other.
-----
No Escape Needed by as-yet-anonymous indaily_deviant (Kinky Kristmas)
(Severus/Percy, R, ~1400 words)
Percy had decided this morning over coffee and porridge that today is the day that he'll try to seduce Severus.
My comment: "Mmm, nice! This pairing is an occasional guilty pleasure of mine, and you've handled it so gently and tenderly."
He has never been the submissive lover, the one whose mind was penetrated, but he can see the attraction to it now, with Percy filling his mind like a stream of cool water.

Career Advice by nadagio
(Severus, Hermione, gen but you could squint, light PG, ~1250 words)
Mid-OotP Interlude. It's Hermione's turn for career advising, but McGonagall can't make it to their appointment.
My comment: "I don't 'ship that', as you said, but there was plenty to enjoy here even without ship goggles on. Nice lines from Severus."
"You are taking eleven O.W.L.s, Miss Granger. Even someone as... obsessed and over-reaching as yourself must realize that you cannot possibly have the time and energy to devote to eleven N.E.W.T. subjects."

The Butterbeer Incident bynaadi
(Harry/Draco, romance/humor, PG-13, art + poem text about 950 words)
Pretty, lighthearted, and very funny in places.
"God, Harry," he cried, "are you mental?
This git is a boy!
Even worse, it's Malfoy!
How could you miss something so monumental?"

Jan. 7th, 2009 10:51 amI saw a comic today on dA where the artist's notes said they'd drawn it because in the Russian translation of Deathly Hallows, Neville was teaching not Herbology, but Potions (with predictable reaction from a now-dead Snape). (Actually the words were "Russian translators decide make Neville a Potion Master", and I can't be quite sure how they're using the word "master", whether it's in its correct context of "schoolmaster" or not, but still.) Anyone know if this is really true, and if so, where on earth they would get off randomly changing a detail like that? "Lost in Translation" (the title of the comic) doesn't quite seem to cover it!

Happy birthday, pennswoods!
You suggested Luna, Neville, Trevor, and/or Snape, with snark on top. I only have any clue how to do one out of those four, so I can only cross my fingers and hope this scores low on the suckitude scale. This is one of those 3:30-AM-god-I-should-be-sleeping ideas, but of course that's typically when Severus whispers his choicest nasty words in my ear and I have to write them down lest I forget. Hope you enjoy!
