Master List of Pris' Multifandom Fic Reccs
Note: LJ ate over half of this list, so for more recent recs, see my !rec tag HERE.
As I've been visiting some old favorites in my convalescence, I decided to finally amass a collection of links to my favorite fics. This is mostly for myself, but anything that I put on this list is going to be something I highly recommend. Fics are divided by fandom, but otherwise in no particular order (pretty much just the order I found the links/read them in). Look toward the bottom of the section for new additions.
Feel free to comment here with anything you think I should read. <3 In addition to the fandoms below, I'm also interested in fic for Bones, Batman (any universe), Animorphs, Charmed, Tin Man, Harvest Moon, The Incredibles, Fable, Dragon Age, Dexter, and Gargoyles. I'm pretty much a mutlishipper in everything. I have my favorite pairings but I'll try any pairing if the fic is well written (barring a few that squick me/I find unbelievable).
Currently the fandoms found here are: Avatar: the Last Airbender; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Dragon Ball Z; Gundam Wing; Harry Potter; Inuyasha; Legend of the Seeker; Lois and Clark; ReBoot; Sailor Moon; Tamora Pierce Books (Tortall); The Mummy; Treasure Planet; Tru Blood; X-Men (comicverse, movieverse, and cartoonverse).
Some of these may be WIPs, or abandoned/ very slow on the updates, but either end on a satisfying note or are still very worth reading despite the cliff hanger. With a few exceptions, I mostly read rare or non-canon pairs - not on purpose mind you. It just works out that way.
AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER
Still locating old links. There are two I definitely want on here, I just need to find them. Mostly I read Zuko/Toph and Azula-centric or Iroh-centric things. So. Know anything good, link me!
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
The Masters and Minions Series by Madea
Alternate-Universe in which Willow is unexpectedly made a vampire by a minion. The series follows her adjustment to a new existence, with the help of Angel and Spike, her vampire mentors, as well as the support of her Wiccan coven sisters, who accept her despite her demon. A world in which not all vampires are evil. Spike/Willow, Angel/Willow/Spike.
Note: Hands down the best, most well thought out BtVS fic series I've ever read.
Still locating some old links. Mostly I read Spike/Willow so yes. Have any good Spike/Willow links, throw them my way.
DRAGON BALL Z
Vejitasei Ascendant by Bulmasan
An alternate universe series following Vegeta from his days as a young prince on Vejitasei.
Book One: The Young Prince: In a Vejiitasei ruled by tradition, the heir to the throne feels trapped by the passive role of protector assigned to him. Book Two: The Chikyuu Contaminant: The forces of the Saiyan Empire are coming ever closer to Earth. What will it take to stop Vegeta's warriors from purging the planet? Book Three: The Birth of the Super Saiyan: Vejiitasei is in crisis! Will Vegeta recognize the true enemy in time, or is the Empire doomed? Bulma/Vegeta
Note: This is most definitely the most well written Bulma/Vegeta story I have ever come across, and maybe even the best fanfic I've ever read. It is so well fleshed out - the different alien cultures, the political intrigue, the characterization, everything, that I really think you don't even need to be familiar with the canon of the show to enjoy this one, as it's super AU anyway. It is just. So. Amazing. Words fail me. If anyone has a way to contact the author, let me know so I can flail at them personally.
Still locating more old links. Throw any Bulma/Vegeta reccs my way.
GUNDAMN WING
Death and the Dragon Arc by Mel and Christy
A collection of 8 fics set after the war. Majorly hurt/comfort in the main storyline - Duo/Wufei. After a misunderstanding, Duo skips town, but when he tries to come home, he can't find a home to come to. Wufei and the other Gundam pilots find him and start to put the pieces back together. Reunion and Rebuilding are the main story, the others are all side stories that add a lot of humor and insight. I particularly recommend "So This Is Christmas." It's hilarious.
Note: Absolutely the best Duo/Wufei story out there. I have it saved to my computer, and I flip through my favorite bits often.
Still locating old links. Throw any Duo/Wufei, Trowa/Quatre, Une/Anyone (but especially Sally), or Noin/Zechs recs my way.
HARRY POTTER
A Taxing Affair by dickgloucester
The Prime Minister needs money. It strikes him that he knows where there may be some to be found. Severus and Hermione join forces to thwart him and to protect Lucius Malfoy, who has the most to lose. SS/HG/LM Note: This is a dear, dear, dear favorite. Delightfully tongue in cheek, I will never tire of it.
The Beginner's Guide to Breeding Peacocks by shiv5468
Snape has a theory about Karmic balance - and Peacock Poo. SS/HG/LM Note: This one still makes me laugh out loud.

Next thing he knows, the Department of Standards is over-run with leeks, Brussels sprouts all sorts of legislative difficulties, and somebody appears to have put a roquette under Harry Potter. Can Draco seize a marrow victory? Or will his plans for peas be squashed? HP/DM
Between Conspirators by mahaliem

It's all about the money. Original Prompt: Hermione and Severus have made a secretly celibate marriage of convenience to increase their pay rates as Hogwarts Professors. They are forced to publicly behave as a married couple to foil attempts to prove their marriage is a sham. SS/HG Note: Very much beloved. So witty and believable. <3
Life and Death of Lord Voldemort by chivalric
Tom Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort, has won the war and rules ever since. But victory hasn't been as sweet as expected. Maybe changing the past is the way to sort out the mess he'd maneuvered himself into? Voldemort-centric, SS/HG
The Properties of Silver by madqueenmab
Prompted in part by a fleeting, foolish crush the summer after her fourth year, Hermione assists the Order in an experimental charm meant to protect Severus Snape as he resumes his role as double agent. Six years after the war's end, it appears the charm has a few unexpected consequences...even though Snape's long dead. SS/HG
The Abundance of Her Charms by Odogoddess
Abhorred in life, thinly admired in death, Severus Snape slowly discovers a sort of peace to be found in the company of a maddeningly perspicacious Ravenclaw. SS/LL

Looking For Magic In All The Right Places by Savageland
In a post-Voldemort world, magic is inexplicably failing, and Hogwarts students must take summer crash-courses in Muggle science and culture. But with the right combination of chemistry and poetry, magic might still stand a chance! SS/HG
Lord Snape's Dilemma by April Grey
A WIKTT Regency challenge, which means it’s AU (unless I use a plot device) and there’s no magic, just romance. SS/HG
Symbolon by Pidwidgeon37
Challenge response--Snape and Hermione, destined for each other, meet in several historical periods. Not always successfully... SS/HG
A Run in Tights by Jenna_thorn
The Trio is on the run from DeathEaters. Hermione comes up with a cunning plan. Gen. Triocentric.
Snapewatch by A Bees Buzz
The end of the war should have been a time for happily-ever-afters. For Severus Snape, it was the beginning of the greatest torment of all. He had survived the meddling of a master manipulator and the machinations of a mad megalomaniac, only to find himself subjected to the whims of an annoying know-it-all. SS/HG
The Unspeakable Canteen by snarkypants
A middle aged Hermione growing weary of Weasley finds, to her pleasant surprise, the long dead Snape is very much alive, thank you. SS/HG
Phoenix Feathers by Camillo
Healer Granger is thoroughly fed up with her boyfriend, and what the hell have her friends been up to behind her back? SS/HG, HP/GW, DM/NL. Note: I love love love this! This was the first story that made me consider DM/NL, which I would very much like to see more of.
Hallowe'en by Camillo
Hallowe'en was fast approaching. Not the best day of the year for Harry, Neville or Severus... This is a one-shot continuation of “Phoenix Feathers”, written months ago as a gift for my beta. This will make an awful lot more sense if you read “Phoenix Feathers” first. Once again, beware of binge drinking and phonetic spelling. SS/HG, HP/GW, DM/NL.

The Devil is in the Details by Rhiannonofthemoon
Hermione learns that the Ministry is serious about its fine print and Draco and Severus find themselves dueling for a prize neither wants. Marriage Law, sort of. HG/DM, HG/SS, RW/LB
A Good Day by A Bees Buzz
If Severus survives the war (assuming that the good guys will win), in the immediate aftermath his life will be hell. Oh, he may be pardoned eventually, or even exonerated. He might manage to hide out until the charges are dropped. But there are going to be rough times. Nothing he can't handle; his life has always been pretty miserable. But. What if there aren't? How would Severus Snape respond to a world in which things go his way? SS/HG
In His Shoes by SilburyGirl
Severus never meant to get into the cult scene. Really, all he was after was a pretty pair of shoes. A look into the mind of a man who may not be as complex as we believe. Pure fluff. SS-centric.
Back in Black by ubiquirk
The Dark Lord has fallen, but an even more terrible force has arisen to take over the Ministry of Magic – the Pink Lord. Ruling with an abundance of ruffles and terrifyingly sharp stiletto heels, Umbridge’s Think Pink Brigade terrorizes a populace grown weary of decrees designed to enforce sweetness. Unexpectedly, Hermione Granger joins the resistance, the sarcastically snarky Back in Black. Winner of the Potter Place Winter 2007 Prompt Challenge. SS/HG Note: Really a great deal of fun. <3
The Fairy God Jarvey Chronicles by dracontia - All SS/HG except the last one.
Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey
Snape is getting a makeover. Why, you ask? Well, wouldn't you, if offered one by a Fairy God-Jarvey? Inspired by the SexGod!Snape Challenge.
Return of the Fairy God-Jarvey
Sequel to 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey.' Hermione mistakes Severus' intimations that he would like to deepen their relationship for just the opposite, and unintentionally pushes him away. With their relationship needlessly on the rocks, it's Regina Fletcher, to the rescue! More wacky fluff, with a dash of fluffy angst!
The Ring On Her Finger
What's in an engagement ring? Love? Commitment? Maybe even a touch of destiny? A companion piece to the story, 'Return of the Fairy God-Jarvey,' though it is not necessary to have read any part of that series to follow this story.
The Fairy God-Jarvey's Apprentice
Third installment (more or less) in the 'Fairy God-Jarvey Chronicles.' (For the record, I, too, cringe at the pretentiousness of calling them that.) As a Master Fairy God-Jarvey, Regina Fletcher gets an apprentice. However, it's going to take more than two Fairy God-Thingies to rescue Severus' and Hermione's wedding. So, if said thingies needed reinforcements... whom would they deputize?
Before the Fairy God-Jarvey
How, precisely, does a Jarvey become a Fairy God-Jarvey? The answers are all here, from the origin of the name Regina P. Fletcher (including why it’s shortened to Reggie instead of Gina), to why Reggie speaks Spanish. Please note-in the time-honored tradition of stories involving animals, this contains a substantial share of sadness. But for those who’ve become fond of Reggie through ‘The Fairy God-Jarvey Chronicles,’ I hope it will be worthwhile to learn how one plucky little runt survived it all to become the Fairy God-Jarvey.
Cuckoo in the Nest: The Baby Dialogues by Melusin
Already experiencing a miserable second pregnancy, Hermione receives an unexpected surprise... Note: This is not a baby!fic as they are usually thought of. There is a baby. And it is a fic. But it is not a baby!fic. If you'd usually give something with a title like this a miss, do stop and read this one. You'll be glad you did. SS&HG as friends.
The Bowtruckle War by Melisande88
Years after the war with Voldemort has ended, Hermione buys a quiet house and garden to gain a little peace, only to find that her next door neighbour is none other than Severus Snape.
The Dunderhead Tax by scatteredlogic
All Severus Snape wanted was to fulfill his dream of owning a successful business and to be free of dunderheads. He should have known it was too much to hope.
A Match Made in Heaven by Lone Butterfly
A conversation at the Pearly Gates between one who is slightly dead, one who is very dead, and the ArchAngel Gabriel. (HG/SS)
The End is Nigh by dolorous_ett
The last of Ginny's brothers has gone to Hogwarts. She is bored and lonely, but the only other wizarding child in Ottery St Catchpole is Luna Lovegood, and she's weird. A tale of words, chickens, religious mania, friendship and childhood's end. Note: Really really well done. A great look at a little explored friendship, with a much underused character.
Ourobouros by Nagini
A tale of moral relativism and baked goods. Parody. SSHG, Bella/LV
Dastardly Schemes and Drastic Measures by Hayseed
Hermione Granger and Severus Snape have been partners for years. When Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter decide that their friends are Made For Each Other, nothing good can come of it. Contains the stories: Just Lie Back and Think of Switzerland, What Does Quidditch Have to Do With It, and When Fiji Mermaids Attack. SS/HG with a smidgen of HP/DM.
Second Life by Lariope
Hermione is forced to lead a double life when she agrees to Dumbledore's secret plan to protect Professor Snape. Inspired by the Marriage Law. Note: This is so amazing and well done, I just don't have words for it. As you can see from my other favorites, I don't really go in for SSHG (or any other pairing) where one is a teen and the other an adult. But this addresses everything in such a realistic way without pulling any punches - it is the exception that proves the rule.
The Life Unlived by sshg316
While sorting through Severus Snape's belongings, Hermione makes an intriguing discovery that changes her life forever. DH-compliant. SS/HG, Luna. Note: I love this fic like burning.
Bungle in the Jungle by jbern
Go inside the mind of Harry Potter as he deals with betrayals, secrets and wild adventures. Note: A much different kind of Harry Potter fic - but one that you will never forget. This fic made me love Bill Weasley, whom I had never given much thought to before. HP/LL, HP/OCs (they are far from Mary Sues). I think it might be a you love it or you hate it kind of thing, like marmite. I love it.
A Portrait of Miss Black by Techno-Biscuit
Lucius must choose a bride or risk having his future dictated by his father, and who better than Narcissa Black? Set during their sixth year at Hogwarts, Lucius soon discovers that wooing Narcissa is not as easy as it seems.
Under Obligation by aulizia-and-kirixchi
Narcissa swore that nothing but the love would induce her to marry but when it falls to her to marry Lucius Malfoy in her sister's stead, will she abandon her dreams for family honour, or can she have both? Note: So. Good. It is unfinished, but the last chapter ends on a note of closure. So. Good. My favorite Lucissa ever.
Harry potter recs welcome! I'll give any pairing a chance so long as it's well written, but I like things that are Malfoys, Snape, Bellatrix, Voldemort, Hermione, Luna, or Founders - centric. My current obsession is Lucissa. <3 If the pairing is of people in different generations, I prefer for them to both be adults at the time the fic is set.
INUYASHA
Anything by Sueric or forthrightly is going to be amazingly well written, but they're both really prolific so I've just listed my favorites of theirs here. But they're all good. Go read them. All of them. *_*

Follow up to Purity, This is Toga's story. When duty and desire collide, Father and Son face off ... Toga is Sesshoumaru's son with a stubborn streak as bad as InuYasha's ever was ... Note: Focus is on OC next gen characters, but it's so well done you won't care. They aren't Gary Stus or Mary Sues, but they are simply too wonderful for words.
Purity 4: Justification by Sueric
Brother and Sister. Father and Daughter. Two worlds collide in a familiar place. Four destines are decided in an instant. Welcome to a battle of wills. Purity Continuation.
Chronicles by Sueric
A new quest begins for InuYasha and Kagome. Answers come from the strangest of places, and sometimes the truth you seek really can change your life. Sometimes the greatest truths in life can be found by understanding the life of another.
Metamorphosis by Sueric

Troved by forthrightly
AU. Everyone knows that a hanyou comes from the union of a human and a youkai. In this case, the union of a human and a youkai is brought about by a hanyou. Sesshoumaru x Kagome. Valentine\'s Day Oneshot.

Or so she thought...help comes from an unexpected source, Sesshoumaru. The only problem is that they can't stand each other. Will they be able to act like adults for the sake of their niece...and maybe find love in the process?
She Who the Prophecy Foretold by CMK2CMM
Sesshoumaru needs the help of a miko, and only one will do. His request for aid sets in motion an ancient prophecy, leading them all on an unexpected quest.

She is the priestess spoken of in the prophecy, the one sent to redeem Midoriko, and her already strange life is once again turned upside-down.

The well was supposed to be stable. It was supposed to send her to Inuyasha. And it failed. Now, Kagome's even farther into the past and she must depend on a young Sesshoumaru, who has no idea of what their shared future holds. But then, neither does Kagome. Now COMPLETE! Yay! Note: *flails over this story*
Vying for Dominance by ShadowsWeaver1
**Complete** Woken from a dream of heated passion and coursing desires, Kagome finds herself caught up in an ancient game of blood and lust. She must fight or she will die, vying for dominance and the rights to take her mate. Note: I love the exploration of the Inu culture here.

A Simple Legacy I & A Simple Legacy II and II by elle6778
Book I: Inuyasha's erratic youkai transformations forced Kagome to seek help from Sesshoumaru in more ways than one. Unsurprisingly, the taiyoukai balked at the idea...until Kagome offered him something in exchange for his help. Books II & III: Sesshoumaru and Kagome had parted ways after their agreement. They met again when Sesshoumaru decided that it was time to collect on what Kagome owed him. Part III (complete): The appearance of an enemy from the past brought Sesshoumaru and Kagome together once again. This time, will they realize their feeling for each other? 1st Place 2007 Annual Awards Best Action & Romance. Note: For reasons I can't quite pinpoint, this is my favorite Sess/Kag story of all. Maybe it's because it's the first one I read. Maybe it's because it's done in such a gradual, believable way. Maybe it's because it involves weapons training, and I'm a sucker for that. But for whatever reason, I have read this over 10 times, and I'm sure I'll probably read it another 10 and not get sick of it.
A Sentinel Mother by demonlordlover

[COMPLETE] Note: Really wonderfully rendered. Slow paced, believable, and sad in a way, but it is a beautiful sadness, but we all know how I'm a sucker for that.
Conversations with a Taiyoukai by demonlordlover
Kagome makes a wish on the jewel and discovers something unexpected. Out of honor, Sesshoumaru keeps her at his side. Note: You have to join the Yahoo! Group to read it, but it's worth it.
LEGEND OF THE SEEKER
Fulcrum by vorquellyn
As I've been visiting some old favorites in my convalescence, I decided to finally amass a collection of links to my favorite fics. This is mostly for myself, but anything that I put on this list is going to be something I highly recommend. Fics are divided by fandom, but otherwise in no particular order (pretty much just the order I found the links/read them in). Look toward the bottom of the section for new additions.
Feel free to comment here with anything you think I should read. <3 In addition to the fandoms below, I'm also interested in fic for Bones, Batman (any universe), Animorphs, Charmed, Tin Man, Harvest Moon, The Incredibles, Fable, Dragon Age, Dexter, and Gargoyles. I'm pretty much a mutlishipper in everything. I have my favorite pairings but I'll try any pairing if the fic is well written (barring a few that squick me/I find unbelievable).
Currently the fandoms found here are: Avatar: the Last Airbender; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Dragon Ball Z; Gundam Wing; Harry Potter; Inuyasha; Legend of the Seeker; Lois and Clark; ReBoot; Sailor Moon; Tamora Pierce Books (Tortall); The Mummy; Treasure Planet; Tru Blood; X-Men (comicverse, movieverse, and cartoonverse).
Some of these may be WIPs, or abandoned/ very slow on the updates, but either end on a satisfying note or are still very worth reading despite the cliff hanger. With a few exceptions, I mostly read rare or non-canon pairs - not on purpose mind you. It just works out that way.
AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER
Still locating old links. There are two I definitely want on here, I just need to find them. Mostly I read Zuko/Toph and Azula-centric or Iroh-centric things. So. Know anything good, link me!
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
The Masters and Minions Series by Madea
Alternate-Universe in which Willow is unexpectedly made a vampire by a minion. The series follows her adjustment to a new existence, with the help of Angel and Spike, her vampire mentors, as well as the support of her Wiccan coven sisters, who accept her despite her demon. A world in which not all vampires are evil. Spike/Willow, Angel/Willow/Spike.
Note: Hands down the best, most well thought out BtVS fic series I've ever read.
Still locating some old links. Mostly I read Spike/Willow so yes. Have any good Spike/Willow links, throw them my way.
DRAGON BALL Z
Vejitasei Ascendant by Bulmasan
An alternate universe series following Vegeta from his days as a young prince on Vejitasei.
Book One: The Young Prince: In a Vejiitasei ruled by tradition, the heir to the throne feels trapped by the passive role of protector assigned to him. Book Two: The Chikyuu Contaminant: The forces of the Saiyan Empire are coming ever closer to Earth. What will it take to stop Vegeta's warriors from purging the planet? Book Three: The Birth of the Super Saiyan: Vejiitasei is in crisis! Will Vegeta recognize the true enemy in time, or is the Empire doomed? Bulma/Vegeta
Note: This is most definitely the most well written Bulma/Vegeta story I have ever come across, and maybe even the best fanfic I've ever read. It is so well fleshed out - the different alien cultures, the political intrigue, the characterization, everything, that I really think you don't even need to be familiar with the canon of the show to enjoy this one, as it's super AU anyway. It is just. So. Amazing. Words fail me. If anyone has a way to contact the author, let me know so I can flail at them personally.
Still locating more old links. Throw any Bulma/Vegeta reccs my way.
GUNDAMN WING
Death and the Dragon Arc by Mel and Christy
A collection of 8 fics set after the war. Majorly hurt/comfort in the main storyline - Duo/Wufei. After a misunderstanding, Duo skips town, but when he tries to come home, he can't find a home to come to. Wufei and the other Gundam pilots find him and start to put the pieces back together. Reunion and Rebuilding are the main story, the others are all side stories that add a lot of humor and insight. I particularly recommend "So This Is Christmas." It's hilarious.
Note: Absolutely the best Duo/Wufei story out there. I have it saved to my computer, and I flip through my favorite bits often.
Still locating old links. Throw any Duo/Wufei, Trowa/Quatre, Une/Anyone (but especially Sally), or Noin/Zechs recs my way.

A Taxing Affair by dickgloucester
The Prime Minister needs money. It strikes him that he knows where there may be some to be found. Severus and Hermione join forces to thwart him and to protect Lucius Malfoy, who has the most to lose. SS/HG/LM Note: This is a dear, dear, dear favorite.

Life and Death of Lord Voldemort by chivalric

Looking For Magic In All The Right Places by Savageland
In a post-Voldemort world, magic is inexplicably failing, and Hogwarts students must take summer crash-courses in Muggle science and culture. But with the right combination of chemistry and poetry, magic might still stand a chance! SS/HG
Lord Snape's Dilemma by April Grey
A WIKTT Regency challenge, which means it’s AU (unless I use a plot device) and there’s no magic, just romance. SS/HG
Symbolon by Pidwidgeon37
Challenge response--Snape and Hermione, destined for each other, meet in several historical periods. Not always successfully... SS/HG
A Run in Tights by Jenna_thorn
The Trio is on the run from DeathEaters. Hermione comes up with a cunning plan. Gen. Triocentric.
Snapewatch by A Bees Buzz
The end of the war should have been a time for happily-ever-afters. For Severus Snape, it was the beginning of the greatest torment of all. He had survived the meddling of a master manipulator and the machinations of a mad megalomaniac, only to find himself subjected to the whims of an annoying know-it-all. SS/HG

A middle aged Hermione growing weary of Weasley finds, to her pleasant surprise, the long dead Snape is very much alive, thank you. SS/HG

Hallowe'en by Camillo
Hallowe'en was fast approaching. Not the best day of the year for Harry, Neville or Severus... This is a one-shot continuation of “Phoenix Feathers”, written months ago as a gift for my beta. This will make an awful lot more sense if you read “Phoenix Feathers” first. Once again, beware of binge drinking and phonetic spelling. SS/HG, HP/GW, DM/NL.

The Devil is in the Details by Rhiannonofthemoon
Hermione learns that the Ministry is serious about its fine print and Draco and Severus find themselves dueling for a prize neither wants. Marriage Law, sort of. HG/DM, HG/SS, RW/LB
A Good Day by A Bees Buzz
If Severus survives the war (assuming that the good guys will win), in the immediate aftermath his life will be hell. Oh, he may be pardoned eventually, or even exonerated. He might manage to hide out until the charges are dropped. But there are going to be rough times. Nothing he can't handle; his life has always been pretty miserable. But. What if there aren't? How would Severus Snape respond to a world in which things go his way? SS/HG
In His Shoes by SilburyGirl
Severus never meant to get into the cult scene. Really, all he was after was a pretty pair of shoes. A look into the mind of a man who may not be as complex as we believe. Pure fluff. SS-centric.
Back in Black by ubiquirk
The Dark Lord has fallen, but an even more terrible force has arisen to take over the Ministry of Magic – the Pink Lord. Ruling with an abundance of ruffles and terrifyingly sharp stiletto heels, Umbridge’s Think Pink Brigade terrorizes a populace grown weary of decrees designed to enforce sweetness. Unexpectedly, Hermione Granger joins the resistance, the sarcastically snarky Back in Black. Winner of the Potter Place Winter 2007 Prompt Challenge. SS/HG Note: Really a great deal of fun. <3
The Fairy God Jarvey Chronicles by dracontia - All SS/HG except the last one.
Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey
Snape is getting a makeover. Why, you ask? Well, wouldn't you, if offered one by a Fairy God-Jarvey? Inspired by the SexGod!Snape Challenge.
Return of the Fairy God-Jarvey
Sequel to 'Courtesy of Your Fairy God-Jarvey.' Hermione mistakes Severus' intimations that he would like to deepen their relationship for just the opposite, and unintentionally pushes him away. With their relationship needlessly on the rocks, it's Regina Fletcher, to the rescue! More wacky fluff, with a dash of fluffy angst!
The Ring On Her Finger
What's in an engagement ring? Love? Commitment? Maybe even a touch of destiny? A companion piece to the story, 'Return of the Fairy God-Jarvey,' though it is not necessary to have read any part of that series to follow this story.
The Fairy God-Jarvey's Apprentice
Third installment (more or less) in the 'Fairy God-Jarvey Chronicles.' (For the record, I, too, cringe at the pretentiousness of calling them that.) As a Master Fairy God-Jarvey, Regina Fletcher gets an apprentice. However, it's going to take more than two Fairy God-Thingies to rescue Severus' and Hermione's wedding. So, if said thingies needed reinforcements... whom would they deputize?
Before the Fairy God-Jarvey
How, precisely, does a Jarvey become a Fairy God-Jarvey? The answers are all here, from the origin of the name Regina P. Fletcher (including why it’s shortened to Reggie instead of Gina), to why Reggie speaks Spanish. Please note-in the time-honored tradition of stories involving animals, this contains a substantial share of sadness. But for those who’ve become fond of Reggie through ‘The Fairy God-Jarvey Chronicles,’ I hope it will be worthwhile to learn how one plucky little runt survived it all to become the Fairy God-Jarvey.
Cuckoo in the Nest: The Baby Dialogues by Melusin
Already experiencing a miserable second pregnancy, Hermione receives an unexpected surprise... Note: This is not a baby!fic as they are usually thought of. There is a baby. And it is a fic. But it is not a baby!fic. If you'd usually give something with a title like this a miss, do stop and read this one. You'll be glad you did. SS&HG as friends.
The Bowtruckle War by Melisande88
Years after the war with Voldemort has ended, Hermione buys a quiet house and garden to gain a little peace, only to find that her next door neighbour is none other than Severus Snape.
The Dunderhead Tax by scatteredlogic

A Match Made in Heaven by Lone Butterfly
A conversation at the Pearly Gates between one who is slightly dead, one who is very dead, and the ArchAngel Gabriel. (HG/SS)
The End is Nigh by dolorous_ett
The last of Ginny's brothers has gone to Hogwarts. She is bored and lonely, but the only other wizarding child in Ottery St Catchpole is Luna Lovegood, and she's weird. A tale of words, chickens, religious mania, friendship and childhood's end. Note: Really really well done. A great look at a little explored friendship, with a much underused character.
Ourobouros by Nagini
A tale of moral relativism and baked goods. Parody. SSHG, Bella/LV
Dastardly Schemes and Drastic Measures by Hayseed
Hermione Granger and Severus Snape have been partners for years. When Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter decide that their friends are Made For Each Other, nothing good can come of it.

Second Life by Lariope
Hermione is forced to lead a double life when she agrees to Dumbledore's secret plan to protect Professor Snape. Inspired by the Marriage Law. Note: This is so amazing and well done, I just don't have words for it. As you can see from my other favorites, I don't really go in for SSHG (or any other pairing) where one is a teen and the other an adult. But this addresses everything in such a realistic way without pulling any punches - it is the exception that proves the rule.
The Life Unlived by sshg316
While sorting through Severus Snape's belongings, Hermione makes an intriguing discovery that changes her life forever. DH-compliant. SS/HG, Luna. Note: I love this fic like burning.
Bungle in the Jungle by jbern
Go inside the mind of Harry Potter as he deals with betrayals, secrets and wild adventures. Note: A much different kind of Harry Potter fic - but one that you will never forget. This fic made me love Bill Weasley, whom I had never given much thought to before. HP/LL, HP/OCs (they are far from Mary Sues). I think it might be a you love it or you hate it kind of thing, like marmite. I love it.
A Portrait of Miss Black by Techno-Biscuit
Lucius must choose a bride or risk having his future dictated by his father, and who better than Narcissa Black? Set during their sixth year at Hogwarts, Lucius soon discovers that wooing Narcissa is not as easy as it seems.
Under Obligation by aulizia-and-kirixchi
Narcissa swore that nothing but the love would induce her to marry but when it falls to her to marry Lucius Malfoy in her sister's stead, will she abandon her dreams for family honour, or can she have both? Note: So. Good. It is unfinished, but the last chapter ends on a note of closure. So. Good. My favorite Lucissa ever.
Harry potter recs welcome! I'll give any pairing a chance so long as it's well written, but I like things that are Malfoys, Snape, Bellatrix, Voldemort, Hermione, Luna, or Founders - centric. My current obsession is Lucissa. <3 If the pairing is of people in different generations, I prefer for them to both be adults at the time the fic is set.
INUYASHA

Brother and Sister. Father and Daughter. Two worlds collide in a familiar place. Four destines are decided in an instant. Welcome to a battle of wills. Purity Continuation.

Metamorphosis by Sueric

Will they be able to act like adults for the sake of their niece...and maybe find love in the process?

They met again when Sesshoumaru decided that it was time to collect on what Kagome owed him. Part III (complete): The appearance of an enemy from the past brought Sesshoumaru and Kagome together once again. This time, will they realize their feeling for each other? 1st Place 2007 Annual Awards Best Action & Romance. Note: For reasons I can't quite pinpoint, this is my favorite Sess/Kag story of all. Maybe it's because it's the first one I read. Maybe it's because it's done in such a gradual, believable way. Maybe it's because it involves weapons training, and I'm a sucker for that. But for whatever reason, I have read this over 10 times, and I'm sure I'll probably read it another 10 and not get sick of it.

Conversations with a Taiyoukai by demonlordlover
Kagome makes a wish on the jewel and discovers something unexpected. Out of honor, Sesshoumaru keeps her at his side. Note: You have to join the Yahoo! Group to read it, but it's worth it.
LEGEND OF THE SEEKER
Fulcrum by vorquellyn
