My Favorite Snamione Fics

So, the other day, I asked my fellow SSHGers to give me their favorite fics.

I did NOT expect it to get the traction that is has gotten, so thank you all for that.

On ANOTHER post, @slytheringsnape told me I should make a master list of MY favorite fics, and you know what? I’m going to do just that. I only regret that one of my favorite sites that I was reading in the late 2000′s, Granger Enchanted, is no longer up and running, because this would have been A LOT longer had it still been active (pour one our for Granger Enchanted, y’all). 

So, without further ado, and in no particular order (expect for my all-time fave, which I’m saving for that for last :)  I will also inclue some fave authors, since it would be hard to choose just one of their fics. 

(There is one fic I want to include desperately, but it has been abandoned and it hurts me not to put it on here, but I can’t in good conscience rec it for you guys due to that reasoning)

Ok, enough boring chit-chat. Time for the goods. 

The Gilded Cage by ApollinaV (ff.net)  Clever Miss Hermione Granger believes that by marrying Azkaban prisoner 11652 she can effectively skirt the new Ministry Marriage Law requirements. (It’s 60+ chapters of enemies to friends angst and I love it). 

Liminal by Cybrokat (Ashwinder)  He was learning much about her, much more than he ever thought he would comfortably know of anyone, through the music she shared with him. (Music junkies will LOVE this tale of a broken man who seeks comfort in his student’s music). 

Denial by little beloved (Ashwinder). (There is no real summary, but I’ll try an summarize. Marriage Law. After the war, Hermione and friends go through this match-making class in in order pair them with someone whom they could repopulate the wizarding world. Hermione gets paired, but afterwards, it’s not all it seems. And why is she lusting after another married man? It’s good, trust me.)

Lay Me Low by Teddy Radiator (Ao3, Ashwinder, Petulant Poetess)  The past and the present mesh together in a story of protection, betrayal and trust. (Trigger warning for attempted assault in the first few chapters, but this is about Sev coming to Hermione’s aide and the relationship that develops). 

Transcendent Quality of Remembrance by Subversa (Ashwinder)  In a postwar world, members of the Order and the DA are sent together into hiding. Trapped in claustrophobic circumstances, plagued by inexplicable dreams, surrounded by her closest friends - and her most dreaded adversary - Hermione struggles to come to terms with her postwar life. (Enemies to friends to lovers goodness and it’s long to boot). 

Out of the Depths by laurielove (Ashwinder, PP)  A tale of emotional and erotic dependency. A nineteen-year-old Hermione is back at Hogwarts and finds herself at odds with student life. And her bewildering new feelings for her Potions Master confuse her even more. (I have read this fic more times than I can count over 10+ years. It is EASILY in my top 5 all time). 

Correspondence by belle4life (PP)  A mystery admirer begins a correspondence with Hermione. When she learns who it is, they develop a friendship, which morphs into something more than that. (Here’s one thing to know about me: I’m a slut for any kind of correspondence in fics: letters, texts, emails, etc. This gives me that, plus the Secret Admirer thing is just too cute)

Luring the Enchantress by Souhern_Witch_69 (PP)  Slytherin tactics are used by Severus to lure Hermione to his lair. This will be a story of deliberate seduction. Whose side is Severus on anyway? (Set during the lead-up to final battle. I just love the back and forth of who’s side Sev really is on, but it becomes clear that it has always been hers. A little darker than most of these on here). 

The Succubus by Southern_Witch_69 (PP)   Snape starts having nightly visits from a Succubus. Soon after, an Incubus starts visiting Hermione. They will have to come together to beat their nightly visitors and get past their sensual dreams. (God, it’s so good. That’s all I can say). 

The Headmaster’s Wife by @propertyofseverustsnape (Ao3)  Who says all ancient magic should be feared? When Headmaster Snape finds himself thinking thoughts he knows he shouldn’t he needs to know why. And once he knows will those feelings become set in stone. A story of love, hurt and healing; relationships both old and new; new friends and allies; old and new enemies. It is a story that will make you laugh, cry and sigh. AU/Post DH EWE. (I KNOW IT’S NOT DONE AND I DON’T CARE! I WILL ALWAYS RE-READ THE FUCK OUT OF THIS) 

Before I go to my #1 of all time, I’m giving full-on authors recs to Neelix, Mrs_Figg, @dragoon811 and @persnicketyfics. I could NEVER just pick one of their fics, so I’m reccing their entire collection. #sorrynotsorry

Now, time for the big gun, my number one SSHG fic of all time.. *drum roll*

Phantom of Hogwarts by Good_Witch (Ao3, Aswinder, PP)  How in the world does Hogwarts come to be doing a performance of The Phantom of the Opera? And just why is Snape so pissed about it? (I cannot TELL YOU how much I love this fic. It is my go-to whenever I need a pick-me-up, and if you’re a slow burn fan, well, this is the slowest of the slow burns, let me tell you. 80 chapters of love, angst and humor. *Be warned: the first like 10 or so chapter are in first person, but it switches for the rest of fic. This is my be all, end all. )

Yall though For The Potion Master’s Amusement would be on this list, huh? lol FOOLED YOU (that one is too classic to put on any list, because it’s on everyone’s lol)

So, there you have it: My SSHG Master List. How many have ya’ll read? Any of these description make you want to read them? Come and chat with me! :)

Hey kid you want a job?

Great get online and go to a job board. Indeed, Linkedin whatever. Now you're gonna search for a role that's in your city, fits your qualifications, and doesn't seem like a bad time.

See that easy apply button? Don't hit it they just throw those in the trash. Now you're gonna want to go to the company's website and check their careers page.

Oh? That job doesn't exist anymore. Cool go back to the job board and find another one.

Great you found another job, you're on the company's career page and the job exists!! So you're going to need to make an account on the career page website. They're using Workday, the same site as the last job you applied for? Who cares? You need to make another account for THIS job's workday page.

Now you're going to upload your resume. That'll autopopulate about 15 boxes with everything on your resume, except formatted wrong and with tons of errors. So just go through and painstakingly check the dates on all of that and rewrite everything you already laid out in an aesthetically pleasing format on your resume.

Ok time for the cover letter, explain why this specific job and company are deeply important to you. You love their mission statement and wouldn't even laugh if their ceo was gunned down in the street. You'll really want to reiterate the things you just spent the last 20 minutes filling out on the resume section

(Remember to include language from the job description, people who work in HR are lower than dogs and they need patterns or they get confused.) Write about a page, but hey don't sound too desperate or robotic this is where they judge your character!

Maybe add your portfolio site at the end here, who knows if that helps no one has ever clicked mine haha.

Anywayyy time to hit apply! Congrats! You'll see that confirmation email come in and you should be getting the rejection letter in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately your resume didn't have the right buzzwords and the AI auto rejected you :(

Time to start again and try not to kill yourself!

Richard after Henry tells him about the bacchanal

[inventionofmorel]

You wanna know my theory? Julian played a bigger part than Richard understood. The classics club was Julian’s own personal Greek story. He’s built these young adults up until they thought of themselves as better, he was selective and chose only students whose parents/situations were vulnerable. They treated him as if he was their god, and for Henry I think he was his favorite as all stories have one. He slowly pulled their strings, made them think they were smart and clever making the decisions and choices they did. The incest, the murder, the damn bacchanal of course the creations can’t hide from their creator. Julian knew they killed Bunny, I think he even gave himself a way out (the letter), abandoning them after they thought they were safe as his own twisted retribution or punishment.

pussy game so strong it scared the devil

[ohbeckoh]

no but literally that is what is happening, there have been long periods of western history where spirits were said t be frightened by the site of lady business. Sailor’s wives used to flash their husbands ships (mind you this was a time before underwear so you just lifted your petticoats and BAM) in order to scare away the spirits and devils that made storms. A woman could flash her crops to keep away spirits that might ruin them.This was also back when the vagoo was seen as something taboo and horrible so literally looking directly at some labia was thought to be so scary the devil would poop himself. Misogyny so intense it gave the pussy superpowers.

The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.

Lately I’ve had the worst heartbreak in my life. My love interest (call them J.) chose person I admired (A.) and I was kinda of jealous of how amazing A. was. Every suspicion I had, turned out truth. I’ve never felt so shitty about myself and situation. J. also was hurting me. Just because for them I lied couple of people who wanted to protect me. It’s literally the lowest point of anyone’s life - lying to people we love and who love us. I don’t want to be that kind of person. I really need to recover from this. It’s been almost 2 months since this situation and still my emotional state is 🥴. For now I dedicate my Tumblr account to daily checks out about my productivity, self-care and thoughts about this heartbreak. It’s my responsibility to recover. God please be with me and help me with this journey. Love 💖

SYDNEY SWEENEY as CECILIA JONES

Immaculate (2024) dir. Michael Mohan

[super-nova5045]

sydney sweeney i knew i could trust you. immaculate is catholic gothic horror movie of the DECADE. such a beautiful blend between rosemarys baby, the exorcist and the nun/the conjuring series almost with themes criticising the catholic church for their hypocrisy and their stances on abortion!! sydney’s screams at the end were so fucking primal and raw and such a beautifully insane display of female rage and this is 100% a breakthrough role that’ll prevent her from being casted as the stereotypical dumb emotional blonde anymore. sydney i knew i could trust you I LOVE YOU
