Below the cut: a few notes on how we’re tagging posts.

Asks searching for a specific fic are tagged #fic search. When a search for a specific fic yields success, we will change the tag to #fic found.

Recommendation requests are tagged #recommendation request and a request which gets replies and reblogs with recs will be tagged #fic recs.

Ships are tagged #snape x [character], #snape x oc, or #snape x reader. Where we know ship name(s), we will do our best to remember and include them. BROTPs are tagged #snape and [character]. Gen fic searches and requests are tagged #gen. 

Asks (searching or requesting) about dark fic, or which give in depth details that are dark and/or common triggers, are tagged #dark fic and/or #tw [trigger]. Send us an ask if we miss a trigger warning and we’ll add it as soon as we can.

Asks (searching or requesting) which are heavy on the details with sex/smut are tagged #smut. 

Thanks for bearing with us while we figure this out! We’ll update this post if the need arises. 🐍🐍🐍

Any fanfics where Snape is/becomes a vampire? **Without any 'mates' or ABO type stuff it makes me super uncomfortable**

I'm trying to find a Marauders'-era oneshot where Snape and Regulus Black have some sort of a relationship and Regulus invites Snape to Grimmauld Place for dinner, thinking that his parents will be OK with it. Walburga is very much not OK with Snape being there, there's a fight, Severus leaves.

I think the story has a framing device/flashforward at the end to Order meetings in the second war. The last line is definitely a quote from OotP where Ron says something along the lines of "Snape never eats in this house."

Thanks!

We've slithered around and think this may be No Place Like Home by Beth H (bethbethbeth). In case that's not the one, let's see if someone recognises your details:

Snape x Regulus

Marauders era

Regulus invites Snape to Grimmauld Place for dinner

Regulus believes his parents will be okay with the invite

Walburga is unhappy with Snape being there

After a fight, Snape leaves

Possible framing device/flash-foward at the end of the fic

Framing device is set during Order of the Phoenix meetings during the second wizarding war

The last line is a quote from OotP where Ron says something like: "Snape never eats in this house."

One shot

This is a long shot, but I'm looking for a Snarry that I read about 15 years ago probably. It was set during Harry's later years at Hogwarts and there was some reason as to why Snape was required to have sex with Harry. I don't know if it was a magical bonding or marriage contract specifically though. I want to say there was a sex scene in a large tub. Severus was established as having previous m/m experience and was very patient with Harry.

Let's see if someone recognises your details:

Takes place during Harry's later years at Hogwarts

Possibly a sex scene in a large bathtub

I'm looking for a Snape Hermione fic: they decide to hold off their relationship until Hermione returns from her mastery in the States. The first time they go out together after her return someone makes a remark about his age and he decides he can’t be in a relationship with her. She makes him promise to attend certain events with her as friends. During those he realizes he is the only one with problems about their age gap but she starts dating other men. Harry makes him see sense. HEA Thank you

Trying to find a fic I read this year that was Snape/Hermione post war at Hogwarts. She is of age, they hang out and read a lot in his rooms. At one point she brings him chocolates and it becomes a normal things for them to spend time together. Kinda slow burn and at the end the staff find out they are finally together and are pretty much fine with it but need to keep the PDA in check because classes were due to start again and Hermione was going to finish her last year. Oh and she stayed at Hogwarts and didn’t go home because her parents memories weren’t back yet. Maybe when they were reading she was researching that? If anyone know what this fic could be please help!

Let's see if someone recognises your details:

Snape x Hermione

Snape and Hermione are required to keep public displays of affection in check

Possible that the reading they did together was research about Hermione's parents' memory loss

Hello!

I'm looking for a fic, I know it was titled and/or the decription was something like 'Why Harry Potter became a Healer'. The story is about Harry and Snape, they get stuck in some secret dungeon like area in Hogwarts and Snape is pregnant. After some struggles I think they eventually make it to the chamber of secrets but Snape is hurt and goes into labor. The story ends in the future with Harry meeting the child and becoming a healer.

Thank you❤

We've had a very similar ask to this before, and @hullcityfc identified the fic as being: Life, Death and Other Career Options by Snape's Nightie. In case that isn't the one, let's see if someone recognises your details:

Snape and Harry

Title or description was along the lines of: 'Why Harry Potter became a Healer'

Looking for Snape as a parent (but not to Harry). Open to any pairing (M/M or M/F) or no pairing is OK. Co-parent or single parent, biological or step/adopted is cool.

I love Severitus flavor but have read almost all of them. I love Dad Snape and want to expand. Bonus points if he’s not TOO fluffy, I do love a snarky, rough around the edges Snape!
