🥀 Snarrytales: a Rec List 🌙
ONCE UPON A TIME....there was a Prince, who was seen as a Pauper; and a Hero, who was seen as a Freak. The Prince and the Hero are soulmates, of course, and their story is long and twisted. They find each other in millions of ways in millions of worlds...
And we love them every time.
There is something so timeless about a good fairytale, in their darkest forms and most whimsical. So here are a handful of fairytale inspired Snarry fics!
Something Ever After
by abstractconcept. Rated M. 17k. Humor & parody. Crossdressing. Student/teacher. Disney-esque.
Harry just wanted his happy ending. Instead, he’s stuck with a sparkly tiara and glass shoes, and the entire world seems to have gone mad.
The Prince and the Merman
by babygray (@babygray-dam). Rated T. 29k. Merman Snape. Disney-esque.
A Snarry retelling of the Disney interpretation of the Hans Christian Andersen story.
The merman Severus has few friends. He had lost one years ago to the surface world, and the other was a shark. One night, however, he becomes obsessed with a human prince and soon after searches for a way to do Lily had done so easily: join the human world.
Someone, however, has very different plans. Will Severus be able to save Harry a second time?
a forest, dark and deep
by bleedcolor. Rated M. 18k. Curse. Wolf. Forbidden Forest.
Once, many years ago (for that is when all great stories begin, many years ago; we never consider we might be in the midst of our own great story) there lived a boy. But wait, you might say, there is nothing special about a boy living, many people do and never amount to much of anything. You would be right, but you would also be wrong, because this story is not about a boy who lived, but The Boy Who Lived, and that is all the difference.
head full of doubt
by bleedcolor. Rated T. 11k. Drama. Romance. Mystery.
Severus spends his days methodically searching empty rooms, from the shadowy winding halls of the dungeon to the top of each spindly tower, and finds nothing more than the languishing splendor of places once well-loved, now abandoned to the vagaries of time and neglect.
Wax, Glass, Venom
by Cluegirl. Rated E. 6k. Dark. Filicide. Lucius POV.
A Snarry Tale in the style of Snow White, as seen through the eyes of the Wicked Queen Lucius.
The Interrupted Kiss: a Fairy Tale
by emynn. Rated E. 24k. Romance. Hurt/comfort. Mystery. Wand maker Harry. I stg I've reread this fic a million times over the years.
Once upon a time, Severus Snape shared a kiss with Harry Potter. Then Harry had disappeared after killing the Dark Lord, leaving Severus the reluctant darling of the Wizarding world. When Dumbledore insists on throwing a ball in Severus’s honour, Severus is convinced the world has gone completely mad. But when he comes across an ashy-faced young man whose half-answers about his identity haunt his every thought, Severus realizes that a ball might be the least of his worries.
Snow Harrie
by Eriador117. Rated E. 16k. Genderbending (temporary.) Brief het.
Lily has always wanted a little girl with lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony and skin as white as snow. Loosely based on Snow White with a side order of inspiration from The Bone Doll's Twin by Lynn Flewelling.
Red as blood
by Likelightinglass (@likelightinglass.) Rated M. 9k. Vampires. I'm obsessed.
Once upon a time there was a strange and magical land. One filled with ordinary villages and ordinary people, a dark and forbidding Forest, and a castle shrouded in mist. In the castle lived an Evil King, whose court of Death Eaters did his evil bidding. And there was a curse. There was a curse, and a magic mirror, and a boy as white as snow.
But first, there was a Huntsman.
Dirty Harry
by Lomonaaeren. Rated T. 8k.
Harry was cursed to die at birth. His parents managed to hold back part of the spell, but it means that Harry is now cursed to be seen by everyone around him as a dirty servant. Only true love’s kiss can break the curse, but how can that ever happen when Harry disgusts everyone he meets?
The Detective's Ballet
by pluperfectsunrise. Rated E. 18k. Adventure & Mystery. Double narrative.
Harry Potter’s two best friends have been kidnapped by a man called the Snow King. He sets out on a dangerous quest to get them back.
Meanwhile, another Harry Potter goes to the ballet in search of Severus Snape.
The Lost World (short version)
by perverse_idyll (@perverse-idyll) Rated E. 10k. MCD. Angst. Dark fairytale. Also see: The Threefold Death, or: The Lost World (long version) - a wip.
His son may have found the garden, but Harry's the one who keeps going back.
The Dreams We Forget (Are Those We Most Regret)
by Serpenscript. Rated E. 4k. Noncon. Forced bonding. Angst. Memory Charms. Dark fairytale. This one haunts me.
Once a month, Harry Potter is summoned to the Ministry for personal Auror training. Afterwords, he never remembers what he learned....but he dreams of empty eyes and black hair.
