Fear of the Forgotten by [livejournal.com profile] bk7brokemybrain in [livejournal.com profile] 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 in [insanejournal.com profile] daily_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 by [livejournal.com profile] naadi
(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?"

To celebrate the fact that at long last, after three years and about two and a half months of digging myself ever deeper into time debt, I have an empty "to read" folder (except for [livejournal.com profile] fire_everything's Advanced Potion-Making, but that hasn't been there long) and will hopefully henceforth be able to keep it manageable with a queue of no more than a few fics at a time, have a couple straggling recs:

Tweed (Part 1; part 2 here) by [livejournal.com profile] snapelike (Severus/Percy, PG-13, ~5500 words)
London winter is remarkably cold, and so is Severus Snape: cold, alone, and dirt poor - all by choice. However, Severus begins to doubt the brilliance of that choice when he unexpectedly runs into an old acquaintance.

My comment: "What an excellent last line. I liked the gentle tone of this fic and the motif of the coats running through it, like a symbol for their similarities."
