#G-J-B Fic Rec

[gay-jewish-bucky]

Since he was unlikely to get a swing at the guy in charge, Bucky channeled his rage into the men carrying out his orders. Poetic justice—they’d be killed by a Jewish man. (A queer Jewish man, no less.) The significance of retribution wasn’t lost on him. It burned in his blood.

hey can I ask for some fic recs?

fuckgirl reader

Android member /reader

barista/waitress au

bodyguard au

thanks

Hi. This is a lot 😭 also, next time please send in the request for recs seperately per au so it'll be easier to format when there's multiple aus and members to list 😬

I'll put in the recs for the fuckgirl!reader, barista/waitress and bodyguard aus under the cut since it's gotten quite long with about 30+ fics. However, I don't have any recs for android au, as this is another genre I don't read.

* s - contains smut sm - social media format

F U C K G I R L ! R E A D E R  A U

Please Love Me by muniimyg - series (s sm) / fuckboy!Taehyung, fuckgirl!reader, FWB Summary: These days, Taehyung realizes he spends most of his time in between your legs and lost in his thoughts — trying to convince himself that he’d rather your body than half of your heart.

Seokjin:

Strings by sugakookitty - one shot (s) / wc~5k / CEO!Seokjin, waitress!reader, strangers to lovers Summary: After getting ditched by your friends at a New Year’s Eve party, you and Seokjin decide it’s best to stick together—since neither of you are in the partying mood. You two may be from different worlds, but you have at least one thing in common. It’s been ages since you’ve had a decent hook up, so why not bring in the new year putting an end to your dry spell? There is one rule, however. When the morning comes, you both have to go separate ways—and carry on as if it never happened.

B O D Y G U A R D  A U

I have previous asks for bodyguard aus for Jungkook and Taehyung: here and here, but I'll list them here again just to make sure that the links are updated and to include some new fics too.

Jungkook:

Fifth Wish by jiminrings - one shot / wc~18k / rich kid!Jungkook, bodyguard!reader, fake dating Summary: Jeon Jungkook, world-class socialite and nepotism baby, should be out every night to celebrate while he’s at his prime.

Flame on Water by btsmosphere - one shot / wc~5.2k / assassin!Jungkook, bodyguard!reader, enemies to lovers, mafia au Summary: Either you win or he does. Either you get paid or he does. Either the target winds up alive or dead. Jungkook’s job becomes a little more difficult any time you are around.

If It Isn’t Me by jiminrings - one shot / wc~4k / angst, single dad!Jungkook, bodyguard!reader, exes au Summary: Protecting Jungkook with your life is your job — raising his daughter isn't. Alternatively, Jungkook's a single dad for the meantime according to his own words, and lowering down his pride will not stop at anything in begging you to help him with things outside of your paygrade.

Undercover by cinnaminsvga - one shot (s) / wc~5k / ft JJK, vampire!Jungkook, siren!Seokjin, bodyguard au Summary: The company banquets that your family loves to host are often drearier than you would like them to be. Lucky for you, your bodyguards have the perfect solution: why don’t you play a little game with them?

Fight for You by ahundredtimesover - series (s) / bodyguard!Jungkook, heiress!reader Summary: Working at a private security agency has its perks. The downside? Being the personal bodyguard of spoiled, rich heiresses like you. But there are things that Jungkook didn’t expect, like rejecting you, falling for you, and realizing what he’d been missing all along.

Taehyung:

This Ruined Puzzle by i-would-rather-be-queen - drabble / angst, character death, bodyguard!Taehyung

The President's Son by jimlingss - series / bodyguard!reader Summary: Kim Taehyung is the President’s son, mischievous and playful, and infamous for being a troublemaker. When everyone’s given up, they call for you to be his personal guard. There’s no other choice when your dad’s assigned you to it and surprisingly Taehyung doesn’t mind either. Maybe because you happened to grow up with that brat.

Seokjin:

About Time by i-would-rather-be-queen - drabble / bodyguard!Seokjin

The Bodyguard by hollyxqx - drabble (s) / bodyguard!Seokjin Summary: Seokjin, hired to protect you by your wealthy father, can’t keep his hands off you after a night together.

[aziraphales-library]

Hi, this community is lovely! Thank you! I checked tags and only found a few- do you or readers know of any action-adventure GO gen or pairing - which might not have been recced on this blog yet? Any gems that have been overlooked because they don’t have a lot of comments or kudos or likes or are not by popular people but have a good story (and grammar, sorry!)

Hello! Here are some great action adventure fics that haven't done crazy numbers for you to enjoy...

Wednesday by Raphaela_Crowley (T)

After a bizarre confrontation with Hastur and one really bad cup of tea, Crowley finds himself in an alternate universe wherein he's back to being the archangel Raphael, there's no Arrangement, and Aziraphale is actively trying to discorporate him.

The worst part?

Every time Aziraphale succeeds in offing him, and "Raphael" is returned to earth with a new body, the day resets. It's always the same doomed Wednesday, over and over and over again.

Getting into this time-loop was an accident; getting out and back home again (if Crowley ever manages it) will have to be something entirely else.

The Treasure of Palenque by ImprobableDreams900 (T)

Having just crossed the Atlantic, the anthropologist Aziraphale finds himself in need of a local guide to take him through the Mexican jungle to the ancient Maya city of Palenque. Luckily, the services of one A. J. Crowley are available.

Demons & Angels by Seltzer_In_Shadow (T)

The angel Aziraphale is tasked with thwarting Hells schemes involving; the illuminati, the pope, four cardinals and some antimatter. Heaven's "straight forward" plan, however, is thrown when the demon Crowley turns up to take credit for the murder of the pope. Realizing there is more to the mystery than Heaven or Hell has let on, the pair set out to save the day using art, science and the very history they have lived.

In this AU I will be tearing Dan Brown's Angels & Demons to shreds and rebuilding it as the fun dumb Good Omens mystery fic it was meant to be all along. For the purpose of this story the canon apocalypse plan has not been put into motion.

The Fatal American Need (to have a pretty good time) by lucky_spike (T)

Aziraphale and Anathema exchanged a look. “B - But my dear boy. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be sure, but … must you go all the way to America?”

“Well yeah.” Adam looked puzzled. “Got to, for sure. Figured I’d take the summer to really, y’know, research weather and study it in America.” Adam had recently started university and was studying meteorology, and he was quite keen on the subject. It made sense, Anathema and Newt reasoned. He always had taken a particular interest in the weather.

“There’s weather all over the place,” Brian pointed out, tossing his head to shake his bangs from his eyes and successfully flipping his ponytail into his drink instead. He continued, nonplussed, “What’s America got that you’re runnin’ off for a few weeks?”

Adam grinned wider, if that were possible. “Well, glad you asked Brian, because that’s the really brilliant part. I -” he paused, for dramatic effect, “- will be joining a storm chasing team.”

-

In which Adam goes to America to chase tornadoes, Crowley and Aziraphale follow to keep him safe, strange coincidences occur, and tornadoes aren't the only deadly thing around.

Demon Detective by CousinSerena (T)

The Apocalypse has been averted--but after being relieved of duty by the head office, what’s a demon to do? Aziraphale stays busy with his bookshop, so Crowley decides to open his own business, a detective agency, right down the street. After all, detectives are cool and there might be car chases. His first case involves a mysterious blonde, a haunted house, and a reluctant angel who gets roped into the affair. Hopefully they can solve the case before one of them is killed—or inconveniently discorporated.

Blame It on the Goose by almaasi (G)

Village shenanigans AU where neighbours Aziraphale and Crowley are given the runaround by a particularly rude goose.

Or:

When Anthony J. Crowley moves to a pleasant English village, he expects to begin a peaceful life, gardening and minding his own business. He pretends not to notice his new neighbour, some flamboyant toff named Azira-something, who seems to do nothing but eat, and illustrate birds. But there’s a horrible goose on the loose, and it and its friends are causing a disturbing amount of havoc. Stealing shoes, squashing flowers, unlocking gates, tangling hosepipes... and sending Crowley out of the house with no clothes on in the middle of the night to borrow some underpants from the aforementioned neighbour. The entire population of Lower Tadfield is in uproar over these innocent-looking monsters. Something must be done! If Aziraphale and Crowley have to team up to defeat a gaggle of psychotic geese, so be it. And if they happen to like each other more than expected, so be that, too. What good is a peaceful life without a dear friend, anyhow?

Always Hungry

by melora98

Genre angsty, wartime, love, sacrifice, character death, no happy ending.

Blurb Harry is caught in a Death Eater pit trap during the war. He is dying alone and nobody knows he is in the trap. Except Severus who jumps into the trap with him. Only Death Eaters can find a way out of the trap. Severus gives Harry his full magic good and bad including the Dark Mark. Only one of them get to escape.

The intensity of Harry's hunger in the fic will leave you feeling creeped out and horrified. This is war, make no mistake. The narration is through Harry. His disorientation is chilling.

Rec note This fic gives off the vibe of Darren Aronofsky movies. Intense, suffocating and scary.

But there was no water, other than the condensation on the wall, and no food. No one came to check on him with a prisoner's rations – no dirty cups or mouldy crusts of bread. He had scrabbled about on the floor, in the corners, searching for signs of rats or bugs which he was sure now he might be able to stomach out of desperation. If Sirius could survive that way, so can I. If only I still had my wand.

Length 6000 words

  Brown Sugar

by eldritcher

Genre Seriously dark, wartime, mental illness, imprisonment, torture, PTSD, happy ending.

Blurb A wartime and psychological trauma recovery fic. The Voldemort characterization for me.

An insane Voldemort finds out that the Malfoys managed to make a boy out of the Diary. He starts getting attached to this boy. He is taken captive by the Order when Severus betrays him. His sanity breaks down even more. Severus is the only jailer with kindness for him. The war goes on until Tom saves him and takes him to Montserrat where he recovers slowly. I really love the recovery part of the fic. It's done beautifully.

Brown Sugar is the first-person fic for me. The writing is devastating. The psychological characterizations for Voldemort, Albus and Harry are brilliant. Severus, his divided loyalties, how his hatred and love are sides of the same coin! The fic goes to really dark places of the human psyche.

"Give him his wand," Dumbledore ordered. Severus frowned, but he threw my wand at my feet.

"Pick it up," Dumbledore said quietly. "Let us duel."

I had done that to Harry Potter in the graveyard.

The incisiveness in plot and characterization in this fic is something I haven't encountered in my reading before. It doesn't hold back. It is intense, brutal, disturbing, unforgettable and exactly what it needs to be. A brilliant and chilling masterpiece.

The fic has a happy ending. Really healing conclusion which fits the story.

The narration is by Voldemort, with a first-person POV, an eerie choice. When he's crushed we are crushed with him. When he's healing we're healing with him. The first-person POV works brilliantly for this fic.

Rec note - I don't like Voldemort as a MC in slashfics. I don't find him that interesting in canon. But I am completely head over heels for this author's take on him and this fic! The fic I rec whenever anyone wants to know what the first-person POV can do! If you've seen Pedro Almodovar's movies like Pain and Glory it's that kind of feel - beautiful, disturbing and traumatic with a healing conclusion. With that said, this is an intense fic covering a lot of complicated topics.

Pairing Voldemort/Tom Riddle

  Contrapasso

by rexluscus

Genre Imprisonment, Mental Illness, Prisoner Abuse, Happy ending

This fic is unsettling and unpredictable. The Ministry keeps the prisoners in a dollhouse. Yes, they are made into tiny doll sized prisoners! There's a cat to catch them if they try to escape. The cat's called Attila.

Harry applies to be a prison warden. He wants revenge because his friends were killed in the war. Severus is a prisoner. We see where there is going. It's definitely not easy to read.

The second part of the fic is about Harry making amends. Snape is freed. They start a real relationship. This real relationship part I didn't connect with but it's a fic so it works with some suspension of belief.

What's not to love about this fic? The plot is amazing! The concept of the dollhouse prison. The brilliant writing in the conversations between Harry and Severus. Severus's characterization! He is a prisoner but he's definitely Snape. Harry's mental health. This fic covers a lot of ground without a lot of words.

Harry looked, and looked. Prepared for it though he had been, the sight still shocked him—a living, breathing human being, shrunk to the size of a toy.

Pairing Severus/Harry

  Dangling Conversation

by loupgarou1750

Genre Angst! Brilliant angst! Mental illness. Character Death. No happy ending.

Blurb This fic has an incredible characterization of Severus but it doesn't stop there. A lot of Snape-centric fics focus on Severus's character development. This fic does a powerful Harry characterization which really drives the plot. He's got one task - kill Albus Dumbledore's murderer.

Harry goes to Spinner's End after the war to kill Severus. Severus is trying to die. He selected a really disturbing method. A spell that removes his magic. He is dying when Harry arrives. Harry saves him. That's good, right? It's a chilling and tense plot. Severus is suicidal. He's also attracted to Harry. They fight over a stuffed toy which both of them are disturbingly possessive about. Harry's mental health isn't good. It's a masterful tragedy that grips you and breaks you. No holding back here.

'You're just mad because I saved your life again.'

'I'm mad because I'm still alive. You, on the other hand, are simply mad. Why didn't you let me die?'

'Because knowing I'm going to kill you is the only thing that keeps me going.'

Pairing Severus/Harry

  Exorcism

by Cluegirl

Genre Horror, Hurt/Comfort, Hopeful open ending

Blurb When they return from the DoM the brains from the tank are affecting Ron. He is weird and creepy. Everybody's scared of him. Except Harry. Harry goes in charging to save his friend. His idea of saving Ron is smutty and maybe not the best. It's Harry after all. But what really shows powerfully in this fic is how much guilt Harry has for taking them to DoM. What being Ron's friend and saving Ron means to him.

This fic has a great take on some of the canon questions I have around DoM around sideffects from Ron's brain attack. The smut doesn't feel smutty. It feels like friendship, if that's the right way to describe it? Harry's and Ron's relationship is way more than friends with benefits. Harry loves his friends. He carries a ton of guilt about what they went through. There's nothing he won't do for them. The characterization is on point.

Pairing Ron/Harry

Length 10000 words

  Fifty Shades of Truth

by starcrossedgirl

Genre Dark, manipulation, no happy ending

Blurb Is Severus Snape really a noble Byronic hero? In this fic, he is a master manipulator. With total Gone Girl movie vibes, he manipulates Harry to depend completely on him, gets him to cut off his friendships with Ron and Hermione. Ron and Hermione don't give up on Harry. They keep trying to save him from Snape. They don't succeed in their goal. A disturbing fic because it hits too close to real life stories.

Harry could track him just as easily, but Severus knows he would not think of it, presents no real risk. After all, Harry was bred for this: born into chaos, raised in neglect and abuse, carefully moulded into the perfect pawn by Dumbledore. He was ripe for the taking, by the time Severus got to him.

Pairing Severus/Harry

Length 13000 words

  Goat Song

by Delphi

Genre Angst, hurt/comfort, happy ending

Blurb Goat Song opens with setting stage in the village of Hogsmeade. So the people of Hogsmeade passed the time. They trod the boards and sang the chorus, and they waited for the hero to make his grand entrance. Because the Death Eaters are in control. Severus Snape has just killed Albus Dumbledore. He's now the Headmaster. He's visiting Aberforth. The reader discovers that they have a relationship. It's got some of the best descriptions of Severus Snape in fanfic I have seen.

his gargoyle of a lad, all pale pitted stone and sharp angles._

Severus Snape was a novel show, a queer lad with an odd manner about him that disturbed most who met him, Albus included, and so gave Aberforth a good chuckle.

It's about goats. It's about absinthe. It's about first times. It's also about sacrifice. How does Aberforth save Severus after Nagini's attack?

Excerpts and explaining don't really do this fic justice so I am going to stop doing that. This author has a talent for writing poetry in prose. The characterizations, the pacing, the plot development - it's just incredible to read. It's as much about Aberforth's relationship with Severus as it's about both of their relationship with Albus Dumbledore. A delicate and beautiful intense fic .

Pairing Severus/Aberforth

Length 4000 words

  Help Wanted: God and Executioner

by pir8fancier

Genre - Wartime angst with a happy ending

Blurb - What if the war hadn't ended in the seventh year? In this fic, the war is going on after Albus Dumbledore's death. It doesn't factor in Hallows. What we get instead is an army of child soldiers trying to end Voldemort. Severus is their informant from the enemy camp. Harry and Severus start meeting in Hagrid's shack in the sea to exchange information and make plans. It gets really brutal. The war is dragging on for years. People are dying. For strategists like Harry and Severus they are left to play the role of both God and Executioner.

A deep and intense fic which doesn't hold back on showing the horrible consequences of fighting this war. They both have a lot of coping mechanisms... The characterization of Severus here is incredibly nuanced - he does what needs to be doing and still tries to stay human.

Sometimes it is the smallest things that allow us to retain our humanity in times like these.

Harry! This Harry is so tired of the war left on his shoulders after Dumbledore's death. He's got Ron and Hermione. But he is really struggling with the kind of decisions and strategies he is forced to make.

In his more bitter moments, he wondered if they could just stop all this fighting and uncertainty and lay it out in the open. War as poker. I bet you a Neville Longbottom. I'll see that bet and raise you a Draco Malfoy. I'll see your Draco Malfoy and raise you a Ron Weasley. Call.

The fic has a happy ending for Harry and Severus!

  In Between Days

by atrata

Genre Angst, Dubcon, Dubious morality, Depression, Hopeful ending

Blurb

The Snape of the 2000s before the last books were published. Ambiguous morality? Check. Ambiguous motivations? Check! Ambiguous allegiances? Check! His characterization confuses the reader just like it confuses poor Harry. A brilliant and ambitious plot that delivers on everything it promises and some!

Snape kidnaps Harry and trains him to defeat Voldemort. Kind of. He keeps Harry isolated and dependent on him to make sure that Harry trusts him. The fic is really dark especially on the psychological side. Harry has a terrible life. This fic doesn't hide or lighten up that stuff. How can he actually defeat Voldemort? Why isn't Dumbledore training him? A lot of the questions before Hallows was published have super creative answers in this fic.

"Please," he said, eyes still closed. "I just -- I need to understand."

A rustle of robes. "What is there to understand? I used you, Potter, and Voldemort is dead, and you're once again a hero, and I'm once again a traitor. Congratulations on a game well played."

It is a heavier fic. Definitely look at the warnings!

The ending fits the fic. Sometimes even on really good fics I feel like the ending doesn't match the fic. This one knocks it out of the park.

Rec note I kind of have lost track of how many times I read this fic. It's just an absolute thriller. Reading for the nth time doesn't make it feel dated or boring which can happen with older fics sometimes. I got a Matrix Agent Smith movie vibe from this fic.

"So what was the point if you didn't let me listen? Just to make you feel better about the whole thing? I can't even-- I can't relate to you. I feel like I'm talking to an alien." "Speak with a lot of aliens, do you?"

  King of Fat

by rinsbane

Genre - hard to categorize. It's set in wartime. Character study. Happy ending!

Blurb - The fic that got me started on the idea of making this list! Unique, brilliant and unsettling.

A character study of Severus Snape. How does he see the world? How does he think about the major players in his life? In this fic his mother raised animals for slaughter and curing. So from his childhood Severus thinks about beauty and personality in terms of fat.

Snape had long ago learned that he was not one of the Beautiful. The Dark Lord, though – the Dark Lord was all economy of motion and languid ease, all sharp impatience and sleek insinuation, all burning coals held behind a sheet of ice. He smelled like sweet smoke rising from a sacrifice of flesh, and his voice was the low crackle of the fire devouring the meat. He was the altar and the fat upon it, and he sacrificed to himself, and he would pull Snape up onto his fire and burn him, and Snape would be remade into a thing of beauty himself.

Harry is oranges and freshness in comparison. There is a powerful scene where Severus is rubbing orange juice on his Dark Mark to clean it. The fic goes on to describe Dumbledore, Lucius and Draco on a similar note.

Have you ever read a fic and felt it's just using the right kind of words and the right amounts of words to tell this story? In Snape's take, no spare fat here in this fic!

Severus/Harry, Severus/Voldemort

  Leave the Children Behind

by montparnasse

Genre Angst with a happy ending

Blurb A gorgeously written fic. It is poetry written like prose. You know what they say about words touching you in the soul? This is that kind of fic. It gives me the vibe of movies like A Beautiful Mind. Remus centric. It starts with Remus getting the news about the Potters death and Sirius's betrayal in 1981. The ending is in Harry's fifth year when Sirius and Remus are reunited in Grimmauld Place.

. He wants to tell Dumbledore to feel the weight of Sirius’ name around his neck heavier than penance, go on, Headmaster, stretch your hands out across the empty bed, remember the edges of his teeth at dusk once a month as you rebirth yourself under the hot white acid-flood of the moon, and don’t forget, don’t ever forget how much he never loved you. Do this, again and again and again, as many times as your brittle life will allow. Then, Remus thinks, then you can speak to me of strength.

The characterization of Remus, Sirius and Harry are brilliant. Sirius especially is one of the best Sirius characterizations I have read in fic if not the best! But it's also the rare m/m slash fic that puts in just as much into female characters like Fleur and Tonks.

“What I’m saying—what I’m saying is, it feels like the world left me behind,” says Sirius, leaning over to blow out the last candle and tug the quilt over them. “And it did, didn’t it? I feel like I’m just now starting to catch up. With myself, as much as anything.”

This fic is definitely angsty - it's the kind of angst that you don't want to stop feeling it anyway.

Pairing Sirius/Remus

  Measureless to Man

by Amanuensis

Genre Dubcon, Pregnancy

Blurb Amanuensis has some delicious dub con fics. In this fic, new mom Narcissa is giving advice to pregnant Lily. Lily wants advice on how to raise a wizard child because she is feeling some insecurity as a Muggleborn who married a pureblood. She wants to impress her in laws. Narcissa uses this as the chance to show how Slytherin she is. She does things under the cover of teaching Lily on how to be a good Wizard mom.

Good dub con fics are hard to come by. Especially in femslash. This fic doesn't try to be anything other than one thing and one thing only.

Lily could read that smile. That smile said it understood why Lily was there, even though Lily could hardly put it into words herself. She didn't like Narcissa--hated the bloody woman. Hated her and her pureblooded house and pureblooded husband and her undisguised contempt for all things muggle--and muggle-born. So why had she accepted Narcissa's imperious summons--nothing like an invitation--to visit and learn first-hand what was expected of a mother with a wizarding newborn?

Pairing Narcissa/Lily

Length - 4500 words.

  A Necessary Evil

by kai

Genre Male pregnancy, Wartime, bittersweet ending

Voldemort is defeated but he's got one more plot! He makes himself into a fetus in Albus Dumbledore's stomach. Severus and Harry have to figure out how to get rid of Voldemort from Dumbledore's body without letting anybody else know about this problem...without killing Dumbledore in the process. Dumbledore being Dumbledore wants to love the fetus and give it a second chance. If this sounds like a whacky crackfic it really isn't. It's subversive and brilliant in some of the subjects it's looking at like abortion and ethics. Like Help Wanted: God and Executioner which we saw on the list before in this fic we are back to looking at the greater good. Poppy wants to protect Albus's rights as his healer. Severus and Harry want the fetus gone. Lucius has some agenda.

"Yes," Albus said mildly, as if our objections were absurd. "I plan to bear the child."

Poppy shook a thick sheaf of medical records at him. "Albus, you're 156 years old. You're not in the best of health. This is so far beyond medically unwise that it borders on the suicidal."

"We're talking about an infant," Albus said, shifting a bit against the mound of pillows piled at his back. "A veritable tabula rasa."

Tabula rasa? A grimy scrap of parchment with runes written in shit was more like.

The fic goes in some unpredictable directions but it lives up to the ambitious scope it tries to cover. The YMMV part in the fic is Harry's characterization. It is definitely closer to overpowered/grey tropes but we have to remember that this fic was written in 2004 before tropes like that were super common. Put in that context the fic has a lot of interesting things about Harry's characterization.

Rec notes - First-person POV! Severus's POV works here brilliantly to show us that picture of horror and desperation when he is working against time to save Dumbledore and get rid of Voldemort. Dark humor in dark times! First-person POV makes this fic what it is - personal and incredibly powerful as we share in Severus's worries about Harry, Lucius, Voldemort and Albus.

  Odysseus's Last Days

by amand_r

Genre - Tragedy, Major character death, suicide, no happy ending

Blurb - This fic is heartbreaking. Harry saves Severus. He doesn't save himself. Severus's mourning and how the Weasleys and Hermione support him is crushing. This is a great fic. Angst is hard to write in a realistic manner without going overboard. Somehow this fic manages that beautifully. It's definitely going to find its way into your thoughts and stay there.

Rec note The angstiest fic on this list.

  A Prelude To A Kiss

femmequixotic

Genre Mystery, Rebellion, Great escape, Pining, Happy ending

Blurb A political intrigue fic. Unique and clever. Femmequixotic is incredibly talented at writing this kind of thriller and sneaking in a bunch of emotionally fraught relationships between the main characters. Draco's characterization here is rich and layered. This is fast paced. No dull moment. But if you stop and think you see the terrible decisions everybody made in the war to just survive.

Draco sleeps around London and scandals are happening because of him. His father who is the Minister in Voldemort's government sends him to Cornwall. He starts discovering secrets about the Order. We find out that Draco was working for the Order. He went back to Lucius when Severus is killed. But Lucius saved Severus and stashed him in Cornwall. Severus is now helping Order members to escape to France. Draco has to make a choice between staying with his father or leaving with Severus.

  Rats' Alley

by FabulaRasa

Genre Wartime, vampire, happy ending

Blurb Sirius and Severus are prisoners in Lucius Malfoy's dungeon. The situation makes Sirius find out Severus is a vampire. It's a nonstop action and adventure after that. The feels! Sirius thinking about Azkaban, how he used to be before Azkaban especially when it was about sex. Sirius is a man who is kind of frozen in time. He has got a great sense of fairness. Chess is his main coping method.

Always it had been like that for him -- seeing the chess board clear and entire, every move forward and backward for ten moves on either side. Unlike life. In Azkaban, he had torn bits of his tattered clothing off to make chess pieces. It had kept him sane. He looked about him, studying the dungeon again. Captivity made sense. It was life that was confusing.

Like a lot of fics written before the final books this one has a pureblood Severus Snape and a halfblood Sirius Black. Cruel stepfather makes child Severus a vampire. Lucius gets him to sign up with the Death Eaters promising acceptance because the Ministry treats vampires really badly.

The fic is about Severus finding acceptance with Dumbledore, Sirius, Harry and other students at the school just like it's about Sirius finally figuring out what falling in love means for him. It's got a happy ending!

Rec notes I didn't think a Creature Fic was going to show up on this particular list. FabulaRasa's Sirius characterization is absolutely brilliant. Leaving this fic out was impossible.

  Sans Merci

by Predatrix

Genre Tragedy, exploitation, no happy ending

Blurb Severus's characterization is a bit like Sherlock in the TV show. This fic predates the show though. He's a happy kid. Running experiments, reading books and avoiding his mother. Rare fic where he has a good father and a not so good mother. His birthday gift from his father is an ant farm. It makes kid Severus really happy.

How could he even know if he wanted friends or not? He was still finding out how people fitted together. He knew a good deal more about ants, for example.

It gets really serious and dark pretty quickly. Severus falls into Lucius's orbit. He signs up with Voldemort. Severus learns how to Slytherin in order to survive.

Another fic written before the final books with a pureblood Snape backstory. Like a lot of the fics in this era the author has a creative take on the character. I honestly don't know if another HP character got great fics written about them by so many talented fanfic authors during the books, after the books came out and even now. Pretty sure that this is my just reading bias. Anyway.

Style of writing! This one has a Terry Pratchett vibe to it. I really like how both Severus and Lucius are shown here.

He could hear Lucius ordering something, in a low voice, ending with, “...and get on with it or I’ll make you set fire to your feet.” Oh well, that was reassuringly normal. Lucius never did dreadful things to the house-elves himself. That was their job.

Rec note The take on Dumbledore has a strong bias. I don't generally like to read or rec fics with this kind of bias in his character. But the fic overall is unique with some strong standout moments.

  Trainspotting

by kelly_chambliss

Genre Wartime, hopeful open ending

Blurb Voldemort won the battle at Hogwarts. Minerva and the other survivors are now scattered. Minerva hides in Muggle areas and finds a job as a part-time teacher under the name Mina Morgan. The other teachers Gemma and Phil are trying to find out more about her. The fic is told from different POVs - Minerva, Rolanda, Gemma. Kingsley and Arthur are trying to get the Order back up again. Minerva sends her paycheck to them. She is living in a bad area without much money for food. I found this fic a realistic take on what would have happened if Voldemort actually won. The Order would definitely regroup and continue. But it will take them time.

Minerva's characterization here is just perfect.

She will soldier on, she knows, because that is what she does. And because anything else would be surrender, which she doesn't do.

The relationship between Rolanda and Minerva is tender and comfortable. It's dark times. But they have each other.

This is a hauntingly beautiful fic that will leave a impression. Writing, plot, characterization, narration - everything fits together for a unique fic.

  Upon My Word And Honor

by calrissian18

Genre Wartime. Romance and angst. Character death. Bittersweet ending.

Blurb Draco and Percy are working together to find information about their enemies. They are also doing Horcrux hunting. I really like the author's take on Horcrux hunting as a group effort. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco and Percy are working together. A lot of the characters are dead. The Ministry is supporting Voldemort. Percy is losing his faith in the Ministry. This world is really dark and full of suspense.

The Ministry was his life, and had been since his fifth year of Hogwarts when he was called into McGonagall's office to discuss his career path, and yet he was impetuously destroying everything he had ever believed in for Malfoy, crushing his--his religion for this man.

Sacrifices need to be made. Draco takes the Horcrux in Harry's scar so that Harry doesn't have to die.

Malfoy's hand twirled above them as if he intended to pluck his words from thin air. "We're all our own greatest enemies and our own bravest champions. When our story ends we only have to hope that we've played all the right parts."

The love between Draco and Percy, Draco's characterization. Percy changing because of Draco. This is a gorgeous fic and unforgettable. Percy's funeral speech is heartbreaking. If you have seen The Spy Who Came In From the Cold it's that kind of vibe.

  When the Rose and the Fire Are One

by perverse_idyll

Genre Dark, postwar, seriously angsty, imprisonment, dubcon, hopeful ending.

Blurb - Severus is under house arrest after the war with some really horrifying wards. Harry defeated Voldemort. But Voldemort got a last curse in - Harry was cursed to bear the guilt of Voldemort's crimes. Can they help each other? In the beginning Harry's just using his power in the situation to make Severus suffer. But how much of his actions is his own and how much is because of the ghosts of Voldemort's crimes? Harry's obsessed with Severus.

For one searing second, as pure and without conscience as a flame, a tiny smoulder in the corner that could burn down a house, Harry knew for certain he would someday fuck Snape. He wanted it, and he would make Snape want it, too. Even if it meant choking him into submission. Even if he had to use the collar to persuade him.

The fic is intense and complex. But it has a bittersweet and hopeful ending. Harry manages to free Severus from the wards. Severus frees Harry from Voldemort's curse. How are they doing that? Arithmancy. No, really.

Because the power to do so is based in the arithmantic complexities and interactions of emotions you can't control.

If In Between Days has the Snape characterization of the 2000s before the last books came out, When the Rose and the Fire Are One has the Snape characterization post-Hallows for me. I'm kind of used to getting my heart broken for either Harry or Severus in Snarry fics. This fic got me crying for both of them. Like I mentioned on another blurb, it's pretty common for fics with Snape as a MC to focus on his characterization more. He's definitely one of the most complex characters in canon so I see why the fics focus on him more. This fic has brilliant and an unforgettable characterization for him. But it's also got an equally powerful and unique one for Harry which matches the intensity of the Snape characterization.

Rec note - Sometimes a fic kills you with its intensity so much and you cannot really think about anything else. This fic made me take a break from reading Snape centric fics for ages because I didn't want to read another type of characterization for him. It was just perfect for me. With all that said, this is a heavier fic. It had such a total Never Let Me Go movie vibe to it. Uncomfortably human in a place where you least expect it.

  Your Eyes Close

by NecromanticNoir

Genre - Dark, postwar, reality travel, bittersweet open ending

Blurb - Severus Snape is standing trial for his crimes. The prosecution have got their case figured out - they have got evidence of the sexual fantasies he has created in potions. Harry Potter is the object of his fantasies. His potions are actually more complicated than creating fantasies. They help him travel to alternate realities. He is sentenced to death. Harry saves him. Things go south from there. This is a dark fic with a lot of unpredictable twists and turns.

“So you do want… all those things.”

“Not those exact things, no,” Snape sighs.

“You don’t want them? But they’re your fantasies!” Potter cries. “I can’t understand why someone as intelligent and gifted as you spends all his free time making sex fantasy potions! Don’t you have anything better to do, or are you just that twisted?”

 AO3 Collection

Dating JJ and Rafe Alphabet

A-Affection. These boys are probably the most affectionate out of the pogues and the kooks, always needing reassurance that you werent just a dream. One of them was always holding you in some way, a hand in your back pocket, kisses pressed to your neck and forehead when you made breakfast, hugs from behind when you made coffee. One of the boys will always drive and you always end up leaning against the other in the backseat.

B- “Babe.”One of them would grumble, grabbing the back of your shirt and pulling you back into bed, arms around you as they leaned against your shoulder.

C-Cuddling. You end up either sandwiched between them or under JJ’s arm while Rafe uses your thighs as pillows.

D- Dates. Rafe’s the planner, JJ is the driver and you just do what you’re told. “Before you ask what you have to wear, I think you should wear that cute striped shirt that you have over like the white shirt, right? But then you can wear your overall shorts with it.”JJ suggested.

E- Everything. Although they can be goofy sometimes they always let you know that they love you. “You’re my everything...you know that?”Rafe would ask, JJ nodding in agreement as he leaned forward to kiss you.

F- “Fuck….”JJ grunted, gripping your hips tightly as he came, Rafe’s eyes on the two of you. “Hmm….you should keep going, show her how good she is.”Rafe suggested, ghosting his fingertips over your cheek. “You’d like that, wouldnt you?”Rafe whispered.

G- Game nights. In the beginning of the relationship it was just a way to calm tensions but its become much more intense than ever intended.

“YOURE A WHORE, JJ!” “NO IM NOT!” “NINE KIDS! NINE! AND YOU THREW ONE AWAY!” “Rafe, sit down.” “NO! WHERE’D HE GET TEN? NOT FROM YOU!”

H- Hugs. At least twenty a day and sometimes you even get picked up and dragged out to the car to go to a coffee shop.

I- “I love you.” “I love you too.”

“I love you.” “I love you too.”

“I love you.” “Okay.” “EXCUSE ME?”

J- “JJ, go to sleep.” “But cannibalism isnt-” “JJ!”

K-Kinks. Between the two of them you cant walk the next day. You’ll get spanked, tied up, blind folded, overstimulated, degraded, bitten. 

L-Learning. You learn new things about them everyday. JJ likes to wear dresses and dance around the house when hes alone, Rafe has a passion for adult coloring books and JJ ran an Avengers fan account when he was 14.

M-McDonalds. You guys go to McDonalds every Saturday and get happy meals, sit in the car and listen to early 2000s music.

N-NSFW. A lot of your texts are very….inappropriate. JJ accidentally opened a text from you when he was around the pogues and he still gets teased about it.

O- Orange picking. It was something that JJ had planned, the three of you getting into the truck one afternoon with a basket and spending the entire afternoon picking eachother up to reach oranges on the high branches.

P- Pranks. They pranked eachother at the beginning but now they work together to prank you. Nothing too serious, usually hiding your hair ties or putting them  in the pockets of your pants.

Q-Questions. You guys get a lot of weird glances and questions. Mainly from old white women. “Honey, your girlfriend is kissing another boy.” “Yeah, her boyfriend.” “No, no. She’s kissing another boy. She’s your girlfriend.” “Yeah, hes also her boyfriend.” “No hes not.” “Yes, he is. We’re both dating her.” “No youre not.” “Yes we are.” “No.” “Yes.”

R- Rides. A lot of car rides dont go anywhere, just driving down the quiet roads at night and enjoying eachothers company.

S-Shoes. They have a problem with accidentally putting on eachothers shoes or not putting on any at all. Half the time you have to remind them to put on shoes before you leave the house.

T-Texts. The groupchat is so chaotic. “What do you guys want from the grocery store” “A mother” “Tortillas” “JJ, seriously” “I seriously want a mother” “(Y/N) can be your mommy”

U- Unicorns. It was an inside joke since you had a unicorn snow globe in your bedroom and now whenever they see a unicorn on anything they buy it for you.

V-Videos. The amount of videos that they have of you dancing around the kitchen, driving and running around is ridiculous. They might have some interesting videos as well.

W- “You’re so wet for us and we havent even done anything yet.”

Z- Zombie movies. They have this obsession with zombie movies and shows and they always get scared after watching them. Rafe even started working on a secret room in the basement and wants to build underground tunnels just in case of an apocalypse.

Name Ideas ; List One (A-J + Double First Names)

FIRST, A Note: I’ve realized that these names can also help with writing; example, you’re making character (or in my case, using character from a fandom but need to name their kid), but don’t have a name? Here’s some help!

In short, the name ideas are going to be reposted on either my main or fic-rec blogs...or both. Not that it has anything to do with posting name help...

NEXT, A Guide: So these are male, female, gender neutral, basically just names. I’ve included “multi-first names”, example; in one of my fics, I named a child “William Claud / Will Claud”. Boom, double first namer.

Okay, uh, To the names I guess?!
