Just a few recs:
Pariah by Aucta Sinistra, Severus/Harry, PG: Challenge-answer to "Severus pursues Harry". A great read that is set after Voldemorts demise. Not everything is perfect after the war is won - especially not for the supposed hero Harry Potter who is the recipient of public hate for being less than perfect. Wrecked by guilt, selfhate and severly depressed Harry has secluded himself in the Muggle world with Snape providing his medicine as the only contact to his old life. But Snape has no intention of watching Harry falling apart and besides his wellknown scathing confrontations Harrys' so used to he employs another strategy allowing himself an openess long denied to draw Harry out - while still protecting himself...
Spot-on characterization, a believable scenario and a vivid writingstyle that allows to see the protagonists and their surroundings easily before your inner eye. I loved the parts where an OC-Muggle narrates the story; I've seldom seen such a likeable OC who fits so smoth in the setup. Don't wonder about the beginning with could lead you to believe you read the wrong story ^_^
To Live bysrichard, Severus/Draco, NC17: Draco ended up on the losing side of the war and now faces the consequences. But victorious warhero Snape is willing to save him - for a price...
Great! I loved dominant Snape who while sympathetic in a way with Draco's plight was sure to use the situation to his own advantage. And the way he twisted late Lucius' method of disciplining/abusing his son to establish ownership of a Draco who was utterly at his mercy. Deliciously wicked!
