@hprecfest :: Day 31: Most recent fic you loved
as the wind behaves by Caecelia
Harry thinks he knows what he wants. Snape is unwilling to oblige him.
aw man, the scene where he teaches Harry that part... fckin' beautiful lol
@hprecfest :: Day 30: fic on your TBR that you're most excited to read
When the Rose and the Fire Are One by perverse_idyll
Harry's haunted by guilt. Snape's warded by roses. Each must free the other in order to free himself. (Snarry)
I've been saving this well-recced fic for a while now for a rainy day 🤭
I'm too scared to read it bc what if I read it and it peaks and that's it, nothing will ever surpass lol... like when I finally read The Beating of This Fragile Heart omg. and it was... incredible
@hprecfest :: Day 29: a fic rated E
Post Mortem by inarticulateimbecile
"You're disgusting," Potter quietly bit out. It was an insult, so why did that mouth-watering heat race downward like he'd been called brilliant and wonderful and all things nice? "And what does that make of you, I wonder?" - A tale of hero worship and failing to pretend.
I really liked their dynamic in this one~
If you liked Contempt, you might like this one :3
@hprecfest :: Day 28: a fic over 100k
A Taste of Liberty by lamardeuse
Before the final battle, Harry Potter plays hooky and learns about another world.
The Queer As Folk crossover. You don’t really need QaF for this, imo, though it of course enhance the experience. 😄 It’s insanely good and in my favourites. like PEAK
the way Brian rags on Snape bc…
Justin gaped. “Brian, that guy is you in ten years.”
Brian took another swig of water. “Exactly,” he said, his voice dangerously calm.
is so… LOL. OH MAN but yeah Britin and Snarry are pretty similar flavours imo teehee… 🤭
@hprecfest :: Day 27: smokin' hot fic
The Space Between Us by NecromanticNoir (Snarry)
When Snape saves Harry from the frozen pool, the locket reveals Snape’s deepest desires - and unlocks Harry’s curiosity. Now the Master of Death, Harry can attempt to bring Snape back from the dead. But what repercussions might this have for them both?
okay the scene by the pool is fucking AMAZING ahahaha. I enjoyed that part a lot. (I do warn that the fic gets... stressful after that lol)
@hprecfest :: Day 26: a fic under 5k
This tiny slip of time by khaleesisophie
Lily Evans wakes, twenty-one years later, and nothing is the same. (Snarry)
khaleesisophie knows exactly what I find satisfying lol.
Harry wakes up to find that Harry married Snape akjdsflakf and the reaction is well done and realistic.
@hprecfest :: Day 23: a crossover or AU fic
Music of the Night by eastwoodgirl
Snarry Phantom of the Opera-insp post-canon fic In Harry's 6th year, he discovers a side to Severus Snape that he never expected. Six years after that fateful night, the now-Professor Potter is back in the dungeons to learn of magic beyond what they do at Hogwarts... and perhaps fall in love as well... with a ghost of his former Potions Master? What illusion is showing in the stillness of the night? Post-DH. EWE. Snarry slash.
more soft!Snape than I'm used to, but this was poetic and lovely heh :P
I absolutely watched the 20th anniversary edition of Phantom of the Opera for this LOL
@hprecfest :: Day 21: a fic rated M
Wild With All Regrets by Cithara
(Snarry) 2 years after the final battle, Severus languishes in Azkaban with little hope of gaining his freedom. The Ministry finally relents to holding a long-overdue trial on one condition only - that Severus is released to Harry's custody during the interim parole. Severus and the wizarding world have changed in the intervening years, and Severus must learn to reconcile himself to both, whilst coming to understand the men he and Harry now are.
there chemistry is sooo good in WWAR ahaha
@hprecfest :: Day 19: fanart
one of my favourites ehe
@hprecfest :: Day 16: a podfic
On the Deficiencies of Translation Spells by LilaDiurne, read by JocundaSykes (Snarry)
Divorced, single, and free, Harry lives a completely unapologetic life in Paris. Between casual hook-ups and an easy, comfortable job, he likes to think he is as close to happiness as he'll ever be. And when he gets offered a teaching job at the prestigious Académie Beauxbâtons, he thinks he may have found exactly what was missing. But Harry is thoroughly unprepared for what he finds there - a familiar face that's been haunting his dreams for six years.
exquisité
If you like la douleur exquise, lol
@hprecfest :: Day 14: a fic rated T
Just To Be Sure by Dementordelta
Remus Lupin finds himself in the unlikely and unwanted position of playing matchmaker. (Snarry)
oohh, this one was cuuute! great characterisation, too! 🤭
@hprecfest :: Day 12: A fic from your favorite author
since everyone and their mother already knows Getting Familiar (and if you don't, it's here), let's gooo
Echoes by gingertart50
Everyone has been given perfume for Christmas, odd things happen as a result and Harry finds himself juggling match-making children, senile household appliances and two very fraught relationships.
This one is just... lovely, yo?? IDK what it is about gingertart that just strikes me with this lovely sense of beauty... well. I suppose I like some other works even more, but gingertart deserves more attention than they get imo (especially for fics that aren't Getting Familiar)
@hprecfest :: Day 11: Underrated Fics
Thus We Remember Avalon by gingertart50
The Wizarding World is unforgiving of adultery and Harry is very concerned for his best friend, as Hermione risks her career and family when an Unfathomable tempts her away from Ron. But why is Harry's memory playing tricks on him, and what of Harry's own reputation? The clues lead him to the Avalon Inn in Knockturn Alley and what he finds there will turn his world upside down. this one hurt, but it was hauntingly beautiful?? and I never hear anyone talk about it. (unhappy ending)
@hprecfest :: Day 9: a WIP
A storm across time by Overlocked
An accident transports Harry back in time where he endeavors to save as many people as he can.
This one isn't mentioned as much, but it's a good read. 👌 I doubt it'll be continued, but I figured everyone and their mother would recommend Mirror of Maybe for this one lol.
@hprecfest :: Day 10: A Fest/Rec Fic
Second Chance Inheritance by razz
(Snarry) Following a tragedy, Severus Snape is determined to tap into his estranged family's greatest legacy. He finds himself with more chances to woo the love of his life than he ever thought possible.
AUctoberfest prompt 2024-232: The Prince family has a different sort of inheritance, the secret to their success: When they come of age, members are taught the Second Chance spell. One chance to go back in time and fix things.
I find this a particularly cool time travel fic as it tackles not just one but TWO ongoing timelines. Like there are just some cool ass themes going on there.
