Believe it or not, some of this is not SS/HG!
Well, pretty much everyone who knows me here will know me from WIKTT. I've been in SS/HG fandom for a long time (almost 8 years!) so I tried to dig back in time to some older stories that newer fans might not have heard of yet. Obviously I fully encourage you to check out the other awesome stories written by these authors! For those of you who aren't interested in SS/HG, there are some other fandoms to explore below...
First, a video goodie with a feminist perspective: Buffy vs. Twilight. I simply had to share this with all of you lovely ladies.
Fandom: Firefly/Doctor Who Crossover
Title: The Man With No Name
Author: Frostfyre
Rating: PG-13
Status: Completed
Summary: For those of you familiar with the Firefly 'verse, the events of this story take place about six months after the movie Serenity. For those of you unfamiliar...well, it doesn't matter. I wrote this story for fans of Firefly, or fans of Doctor Who, or for people who'd never encountered either. I even got a few of my readers into BOTH shows...
Why I fangirl this: Because I love Firefly, I love Doctor Who and, well, what could be better than an awesome mix of the two? A lot of crossovers seems silly, but here everyone stays in character, and really, why *wouldn't* the Doctor end up in the Firefly 'verse at some point in his travels?
Fandom: Firefly (Jayne/River)
Title: Horseshoe Nails series (Two Gorram Days, Kinship, Bank Job, Miranda, Prodigal)
Author: Dyce
Rating: Adult/M
Status: Completed
Summary: Jayne is left all alone with a bad leg and a crazy girl for two days. It doesn't go as badly as it could.
Why I fangirl this: I'm fairly ship-agnostic in the Firefly 'verse, though I initially found Jayne/River slightly squicky, but Dyce made me believe in this series. Dyce also writes good SS/HG Harry Potter fanfic too. :)
Fandom: Calvin and Hobbes
Title: the sandwich story
Author: Obfuscate
Rating: PG
Status: Completed
Summary: Hobbes is changing.
Why I fangirl this: So bittersweet and sad.
Fandom: Isaac Asimov - Robot series
Title: The Conscientious Objectors
Author: Grey
Rating: PG
Status: Completed
Summary: Susan Calvin investigates a mysterious robotic work stoppage in an automated factory.
Why I fangirl this: Because you can never have enough Asimov and this story might as well have been written by him.

And here come the SS/HG recs:
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: 1,001 Nights
Author: Jocemum
Rating: Adult/M
Status: Completed
Summary: Captured by Death Eaters, Hermione attempts to save herself through the use of an old magic.
Why I fangirl this: I have a huge soft spot for stories involving original magic, where the author gives lovely details about the research-y technical aspects of magic (of course Hermione and Snape would be interested!). This is a one-shot, but so creative.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: Seven Preposterous Things
Author: Bloodcult of Freud
Rating: Adult/M
Status: WIP
Summary: Dark Comedy and Angst. Graphic Sex, Character Death, Pimples, Gore and Unflattering Characterizations. Half-Blood Prince Compliant. HG/SS and MB/DM
Why I fangirl this: I only wish this story was updated more frequently (usually seems to be every few months). The relationship between Draco and Millicent is hilariously awesome (one day Draco might grow up, but until then, Millie has him well in hand). Snape and Hermione have their twisty snarky relationship... and Snape can raise the dead with his singing.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: In the Grey
Author: sethnakht
Rating: PG-13
Status: Completed
Summary: Snape is dead. The High Authority orders him to remain as a ghost to protect Miss Granger, who will soon be murdered by Death Eaters. But then one day, Hermione spots the ghost . . .
Why I fangirl this: An old story dating back over half a decade, but I *still* remember the ending. So sniffly yet happy.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: Golem
Author: Lillith Janvier (lillithj)
Rating: Adult/M
Status: WIP
Summary: Books, cryptography, Paris, Prague, and dead bodies.
Why I fangirl this: If I rec this story, will Lillith finish it? :) The first SS/HG I can remember that had extensive and yummy food porn.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: Travelogue Trilogy (Roman Holiday, Jewel of the Nile, Last Tango in Paris)
Author: Anna (coldcoffeeeyes)
Rating: Adult/Mature
Status: Completed, Completed, WIP (part 3)
Summary: Hermione, Snape, Draco...believe us, you have no idea.
Why I fangirl this: A rollicking adventure of Hermione growing up and finding herself. Hot scenes, crazy Egyption magic, the irresistible pull between Snape and Hermione. I can only hope that one day, Anna will have time to return and finish LTiP, but even if you don't like WIPs, the first two stories are completed! (Edit: It was pointed out to me that Anna posted chapter 48 within the last few months after no updates since 2004... maybe there's hope!)
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: Soul Searching
Author: Quillusion
Rating: Adult/Mature
Status: Completed
Summary: Hermione, Snape, a henge, and a Little Green Book known as The WIKTT Archives
Why I fangirl this: Probably the most-searched-for fic in all of SS/HG fandom even though it's the first result on Google for that title and author. :) It's the namesake of The WIKTT Archives, which is the only SS/HG-specific, non-moderated archive that I know of.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG)
Title: Round Midnight
Author: Dominia
Rating: Adult/Mature
Status: Completed
Summary: Peacetime is not always what it seems.
Why I fangirl this: Written by a gifted author who crafted yet another scene (Hermione and Snape on a beach basking in the setting sun) that still sticks in my mind vividly after so many years. Also Original Magic and research.
Fandom: Harry Potter (SS/HG/LM)
Title: Scarborough Arithmancy
Author: Lillith Janvier (lillithj)
Rating: Adult/Mature
Status: Completed
Summary: Arithmancy has often been defined as the science that deals with the laws of magic. (Elements of Arithmancy, Reichenbach, H. c1947.) Equations, however, factor only what the Arithmancer knows to be true at the time. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances throw a kink in the works. Magic doesn't behave as one expects and solutions can be found in a chance meeting 10 years later.
Why I fangirl this: More Original Magic, hot sexxors, and research.
Fandom: Harry Potter (RW/DM, HP/OFC, SS/HG)
Title: Origins of Myth
Author: ArsenicJade
Rating: Adult/Mature
Status: Completed
Summary: Draco gets lost. Ron finds him.
Why I fangirl this: As many others have stated, ArsenicJade is a queen of Hurt/Comfort fic. Even though I initially read the story for the SS/HG, ArsenicJade made me believe the growing relationship between Draco and Ron. In this story, Snape and Hermione's relationship is the background, but they are happy and settled and you can just *feel* the warm glow of contentment from them even as they are fighting on their friend's behalf. ArsenicJade has also written quite a few other SS/HG and/or SS/HG/RL fics that are worth reading.
