Sorry not sorry about the capitals screaming because this stuff is lit. It's 630 pages single bookbinding!!!! OMG. Danni really said go big or go home!!
Original rec list on Tumblr - The goal of this list was to rec Snarry fics great about using sex for exposition with a huge dick to word count ratio. The Big Dick Energy of these fics are totally 110% matched by the Big Dick Energy of the bookbinding Danni did :D Also I probably am the luckiest reccer and maybe one of the top 1% (suck on that Bernie!!!) because Danni bound my rec list and whoa total honor :D :D Better than getting into Library of Congress :D
lots and lots after the cut :D :D it took me forever because my roof was like 50% roof and needed to fix that but pic time now :D :D
Ok, this book is from Busy Bee Book Bindery! It's got the coolest seal ever :D :D Also look at the special guy on the right :D we are flying :D
Also from the side
Also check out The Table of Contents!!!
1. Entwined by rexluscus
Danni picked the perfect symbol for this fic. It's dirtyhotbadwrong and its really really codependency :D
2. Pink Slip by Cluegirl
To be honest the corset is the One Image which just stays in my brain forever about the fic. I mean Voldemort one and the Order folks are now "fosterlings" and things are really dirtybadhotwrong but the corset imagery lives in my head rentfree :D Danni really got that one right :D :D
3. made to be broken by @theshopislocal
Really love the feather/light/vulnerability vibes of the symbol. It totally matches the beautiful fic with vulnerable Snape written in classic Snarry slash vibes.
4. Warm by @perverse-idyll
Warm :D Total vibe match for the PWP established relationship comfort read vibes of the fic. Because this is the Snarry PWP and established relationship fic as far as I am concerned :D
5. Green Grow the Rushes, O by eldritcher
I mean this one really is the perfect symbol again :D Harry has a jackal's head like Anubis because he is that good bad at Animagus stuff. The Snarry bestiality fic/creature fic as far as I am concerned :D
6. The Unforgivables by Dementor Delta and Cruise Director
I love love love the super direct symbolism of the wand in this fic :D It's just like Harry :D Kind of Slytherin and sneaky, kind of Gryffindor and risktaking :D Also lots of dumb luck and it works out :D
7. No Sex, No Galleons by Ziasudra
I mean literally nobody is paying Snape a ton of Galleons for his services :D Bad joke but I really love the symbolism of that for the fic which has a ton of characterization and dynamics around the concept of worth <3
8. Contempt by @danpuff-ao3
The most Snarry fic of 2020s for me <3 I am pretty much totally burned on Snarry because I feel satisfied and a big reason for that is Contempt. It was so brilliant, perfect and I don't really feel like reading new Snarry at the moment :D Also a perfect image for the fic. Innocence, guilt, beauty, ugliness, imperfection, flaws, penetration lots and lots of symbolism in that <3
9. Mostly Harmless by EmilyWaters1976
The imagery of the manacle is super on point for this fic which is dark, dubcon bittersweet with a happy ending :D
10. Death and the Open Mind by Loup Garou.
The final fic is super long at like 43000 words. I mean!!! That's like 150 pages!! 150 pages!! Danni is insane and brilliant. I really love the skull rose imagery which is perfect for the fic which is dark, dirtybadhotwrong and really really beautiful.
Also the intro :D
Also one of my fav parts from Contempt
Going to bed with Severus — to actually sleep — is Harry's favorite part. It's a bit awkward because they haven't discussed it, but Severus doesn't dissuade Harry from following him. The bed is lumpy and creaky and small. Severus is too bony to be a comfortable bedmate.
Harry latches onto him all the same.
Also one of my fav parts from Warm
It was everything Harry wanted. It was the sort of sex he'd thought he could never have, and it made him so giddy he almost laughed out loud.
Also one of my fav parts from Green Grow the Rushes, O.
He has done his best to ward the boy in. He has done his best to follow the boy.
But the boy is no longer a boy. With Minerva's voice, with a jackal's head, with skulls on his torso dying off one-by-one, he is godly and bestial, of no father's seed, of no mother's make.

Some Snarry fics are seriously brilliant about using smut for plot exposition. Think HBO scripts! If you want to read Snarry with really intense smut used for exposition this is for you. They are like HBO scripts...except no boobs. Don't worry because they make up for it with their ratio of dick to word count. No big rec blurbs this time because the Big Dick Energy of these fics are recs by themselves!
Entwined
by rexluscus
Exposition featuring - Legilimency
Vibe Quote
When he came back to himself, his mind was safely back in his own body and Harry's in his. Orgasm always had that effect—almost as though their minds had a circuit breaker that wouldn't permit the union to become too total, breaking them apart when the feedback loop of sensations became too overwhelming. Snape's secret fear, as well as his secret hope, was that someday, that wouldn't happen, even though such an event would be as good as death.
Pink Slip
by Cluegirl
Exposition featuring - Fostering
Vibe quote
"You're the Boy who Killed Voldemort," Snape purred in his ear, "There is hardly a soul in the Wizarding World who doesn't know who you are. Or," and his fingers hooked, digging suddenly, bluntly into Harry's thighs, "do you mean to run back to the Muggle world? To hide from your memories of this, and your magic as well? To pretend with all your might that you're…normal?" Harry shuddered at how dirty Snape managed to make that word sound, but nodded all the same.
made to be broken
by @theshopislocal
Exposition featuring - Bottoming
Vibe quote
And yet, whenever Harry had tried to give it to him, to sate the unspoken need that Harry now definitively knew was there, Severus had closed off, shut down, slipped through Harry’s fingers like woodsmoke.
Warm
by @perverse-idyll
Exposition featuring - Rimming
Vibe quote
The warm swells tempted him to cross the line from worship to punishment. Fine-skinned and tight, their shapeliness – not to mention the way Severus lay just on, but not quite over, the edge of surrender – catered to a painful craving inside him. A craving that had lain dormant until the night Severus consented, with a grudging, half-drugged sensuality, to let Harry spread him open and eat him out.
Green Grow the Rushes, O
by eldritcher
Exposition featuring - Bestiality
Vibe quote
"Happy Christmas," he tells his jackal-headed heart.
Harry bruises him and claws at him and bites him. Harry kisses him with a beast's mouth and caresses him with a god's holy hands.
"Happy Christmas," Harry says, as only a fractured man in love can.
The Unforgivables
by CruiseDirector, DementorDelta
Exposition featuring - Punishment
Vibe quote
"I've never used the Imperius Curse for any sort of personal...anything! It's always been on Ministry business or to stop You Know Who. You can't think I'd be daft enough to try to use it on you."
"Then why," barked Snape, triumph and fury intermingled on his features, "am I suddenly thinking only of punishments of a perverse erotic nature?"
No Sex, No Galleons
by Ziasudra
Exposition featuring - Prostitution
Vibe quote
There was something oddly familiar in glaring at the man. Not that Severus was truly glaring. All venom in his eyes, speech, and general persona had long been stripped from him, bit by bit in the process of whoring himself. He liked looking at the man. It was almost as if this wizard was seeing Severus Snape the person, not Severus Snape the Man Too Ugly to be Rented.
Contempt
by @danpuff-ao3
Exposition featuring - Infidelity
Vibe quote
How can Harry not despise him? It's been ages since he's been in Severus' arms, and the moment he is, he — it's — damn him, but it's wrong how right it feels. Like all of his broken pieces have been gathered up and stored in a box for safekeeping.
Mostly Harmless
by emilywaters1976
Exposition featuring - Slavery
Vibe quote
“What were you doing?” Potter demanded. “The tracking charms on your collar informed me that you were trying to escape.”
Severus didn't dignify him with an answer.
Death and the Open Mind
by LoupGarou
Exposition featuring - Ageplay
Vibe quote
I wonder what your muscles look like when you're flying, and I curse myself for never taking the opportunity to find out when I had it. The mere thought is a horror unto itself, so of course, I promptly feel sick to my stomach and go back to imagining I can smell you.
Harry took three large gulps of the firewhisky. "I'll shut you up if it takes a good alcohol poisoning to do it." He shook his head almost expecting smoke to pour out his ears.
