I *love* Luna and I adore Snape, but why has it never occurred to me that I could combine the two?
You have no idea how tickled I am to have induced another person to check out Snape/Luna. Snuna is one of my very favorite pairings, so much so that my Flist probably wishes that I would shut up and stop preaching the virtues of Snuna! I don't have an OTP (I don't like to be limited that way), but I really do love the dynamic these two have: she's immune to his sniping and he's disarmed by her sincerity and daffy wisdom. He can be immature and stunted, but she's an old soul, so she balances him. Plus, they both know what it means to be outcasts.
Now I'll have to go look for good Snape/Luna fic.
Ah, now there, I can help you. ~flexes typing fingers~
The first place to check out is the Snuna Masterlist, maintained by rexluscus. She has links to almost anything you could want: fics, drabbles, art and icons. It's a great resource and it's updated very frequently.
I've only written drabbles featuring the two of them so far ( Solace and Folie à Deux and a few others that haven't yet been posted), but I do have a longer fic in the planning stages.
Wow! Thanks so much for the recs. And I think your characterization of the ship sounds like something I'd love. I've always liked the Snape/Hermione dynamic because it's two brains working so well together, but there's something wonderful about Luna that could heal him, I think. And really, Luna's a Ravenclaw. *sighs dreamily* I haven't read the first story, but I think you can welcome me aboard.
Some of my favorite HP fics feature Luna as a main character, but usually as a plot device, or where Luna and Ron or Harry are paired together to get them out of the way of the Snape/Hermione ship. But I've never felt the chemistry in those with one exception. In case you haven't read it, Luna makes a show stealing appearance in "Trial and Trepedation" by loves23rules at Ashwinder.
I don't know what else your fic tastes run toward, but if you have any interest in the West Wing, feel free to mosey over to my LJ. It's the best way I know to return the favor! Well, that and to keep reviewing your fics!

I like Snape/Hermione too ("marriage of true minds," and all that), but you've hit on what I really like about Snape/Luna: she could help him heal. I'm such a sucker for that. If you like it too, then I think (hope) you'll like these stories.
I've seen a few stories where Luna was believably paired with Harry, but I do have a hard time buying Ron/Luna. She's too cryptic; he'd just be frustrated all the time and when he's frustrated, he's a prat. I could see Neville/Luna, but I think Severus needs her more than Neville does. I haven't read that story, but now that you've recommended it, I'll have to check it out!
HP is my primary fandom, but I also write for Pet Shop of Horrors and a bit for House. I also wrote a drabble series that crossed Dogma with HP, if you can imagine that. I've never read any West Wing fic, but I wouldn't mind checking it out!

Out of that group, I have a few favorites that I'd strongly recommend. The first is bethbethbeth's Home Is the Sailor. I'd also happily recommend another one from the same author called Press, Release. thetreacletart's Implausible, Irrational, Preposterous, Peculiar and Just Plain Luna is another real gem.

Hope you enjoy exploring the ship!
