Okay, Hun. Here you go, some of my fav post 2010 SS/HG fics.

Post Tenebras, Lux by Loten

Chasing The Sun by Loten

The Lilac Tree by Lenaa1987 This fic is awesome. I found myself falling in love once more with Snanger and Lena's Lavender is made of all sort of awesome-sauce I love how she's developed her from a love sick teen to a Healer who knows what's best for her charge.

Saturdays With Rosie by Lenaa1987 Sit back with a coffee and enjoy this - perfect reading for a damp Saturday afternoon.

This will get you started Lena and Loten have more fics on their authors page but these are my favs from them.

*swaggers in* 'Over Time and Tide' - CeleryThesis on AO3, plus her other stuff.

'Cold Hearts and Muddy Understandings' - thisiszircon (I haven't read this but they've got a great oneshot called 'My Senses Ensnared' and this longer one was rec'd to me).

[darkheartwalsh]

Ha ha.

Cheers for the recommendations! I'll check them out.

And omg I LOVE thisiszircon! I didn't know they wrote SSHG. They have several utterly spectacular Giles/Buffy fics that I adore (Only Connect and The Ties That Bind) and would have been on my rec list yesterday if I'd done five rather than three.

I am absolutely going to have to check that out!

*squishes you* Thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!

At the risk of overwhelming you with too many - here are some of my favorites from 2011 - present:

Snape's Oceans by theolyn 2011 - 62k words - really lovely love story
Choose Something Like a Star by teddyradiator 2014 - 44k words - very moving Christmas story
Perfection by Nylex 2014 - 13k words - hilarious, just utterly hilarious
Advanced Contemporary Potions Making by Lariope 2011 - 31k words - heartbreaking perfection
Beyond 84 Charing Cross Road by darnedchild 2016 - 91k words - falling in love through letters
For the Love of Water by corvus draconis 2015 - 5k words - Snape grows old with his otter. Will make you cry. Fact.
The Goddess of Never Being Broken by cathedral carver 2011 - 9k words - probably my favorite fan fic of all time

[darkheartwalsh]

Oooooo, thank you for the recs! I'm a quick reader so tend to blitz through fanfic, so the more recs the better! Especially now I've got a little bit of free time whilst I'm waiting for my new job to start :D

Also, I love Cathedralcarver's work! Theyre one of the few more recent authors I've come across since I've come back and I love everything they write! :D

[mywitch]

Awesome! I love having time for reading! I'd also love to hear what you think of them - they're on my Favorite Favorites List :D

[dreamy_dragon73]

I second the rec for Saturdays With Rosie - actually pretty much anything by lenaa1987, also Killing Time by Lariope...

You probably know about riversoflondon and discworld already... If there are any more active comms for either Rivers of London or Discworld, I'd love to know, too.

[darkheartwalsh]

I love Killing Time. It's awesome!

Ooo, cheers! I'd heard of the Discworld one, but not the Rivers of London one! Tbh, I only found out there was a Rivers of London presence online at all.

And don't worry, I'll let you know. The Reddit r/Discworld subreddit is quite active. But it depends if you want to brave Reddit...

Not sure if you're looking for an all fandom challenge comm, but try fan_flashworks

[darkheartwalsh]

Thanks for the recommendation! I've had a couple of people suggest the comm, so I'll absolutely check it out. =)

You weren't joking! Ha!

Thank you so much for the rec list. These all look incredible! I'll spend a little time checking them all out this weekend. And having a spreadsheet is such an amazing idea! =D

Thanks again!
