Why yes, there's a tremendous amount of reccable stuff out there.

First off, I got my snupin_santa gift last night! It's totally all I wished for - I'm still dead and heart-broken.

[Fic] Letters Never Sent, Words Never Spoken (Remus/Severus) by Anon for snupin_santa, rated G. Warns for (canon!) character death. Summary: The war has ended. Those who have died are buried and life is moving on. Given the task to deal with the estate of Severus Snape, Harry learns more about the people who affected the life of the Potions Master.

This is so painful - more Severus-centric than "truly" Snupin, I love how this deals with Severus being in love with Lily and Remus. Excellently written, it is touching and, in the end, so gut-wrenching it had me crying, because it's so beautiful in all that it's sad. Totally pushes all my buttons when it comes to the "layout" of the story, the execution in how the author deals with canon questions, and the angst factor.

[Fic] Angels and Ministers of Grace (Severus, Harry) by Anon for hp_holidaygen, rated PG-13. No summary given.

This is genfic like genfic should be, for me (and pairingfic for that matter too >.>): a post-war scenario about a seasoned warrior who's given all for that war for whatever reason. We see a Severus who's almost destroyed, with nothing left for him. The atmosphere is dream-like and blank, and the author does such an incredible work with the language and characterisations, it's breath-taking. Just. Go, read, and be swept away.

[Fic] A Fine Romance This Is (Remus/Severus) by Anon for merry_smutmas, rated NC-17. Warns for cross-dressing. Summary: Post-war Alternate Reality. It's been three months of (admittedly good) shagging, but Severus wants to know where he stands with Remus and takes drastic measures to find out.

This is an intelligent story about a relationship. The author uses the cross-dressing in a very original manner, and the resolution to the angst you've gone through will warm you thoroughly. Not what I usually rec and, indeed, thrive for, but this fic's warmth is a blanket that you'll need thoroughly after you've read the previously mentioned fics.

Hope you enjoy these, and remember that if you do to leave the authors feedback :)

Oh dear. You know I'm not that huge a fan of Severus, but somehow, this rec post prompted me to start writing your 'drabble', you know, the one I promised you for reaching 20k in a month? Now, how this ended up as a first draft of 2,100 words with some attempt at plot and more or less devoid of slash is completely beyond me, I swear >.> Will edit it over the weekend and get to you as soon as possible. Right now, my writing style in English is still giving me a headache, though.
Anyways, will check out the genfic later for sure ;) Also: Still up for shopping tour tomorrow? We totally need to have a duck at the Arcaden as well! As I said, just call me when you're home if you want to ^_^

asdfghjk AHAHAHA. Take your time, I'm not going to rush you into posting for the sake of posting ;) And YAY fic for me! *giddy* Devoid of slash is really no problem at all, 'cause I want character-driven anyway, SO. Genfic is genius as much as pairingfic :)

Yes, still tomorrow, will call you once I'm home! So probably around... 4.30ish? Or something. Depends on the children... *wants clothes*

	Apparently, it will take time because uni is still burying me with work ... even though right now I can prepare my presentation because the damn book wasn't where it's supposed to be! rages Which is also why I won't do anything for uni today. So feel free to call me whenever you get home and recovered from the children ^^ wants clothes and duck and stuff (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to try to get rid of the children ASAP because I'm tired as all hell :D Will call you sooner, I guess. I need to RELAX, and shopping is JUST the thing :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
