Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape/Harry

Status: Completed



After the war, Harry finds Severus under house arrest, himself badgered for publicity stunts, and the memories of his friends tampered with. Severus learns to tolerate Potter as they try to figure out just who is manipulating the wizarding world, and why.


AO3

Nice post-hogwarts read. I like oliversnape, and I didn't make much of a secret out of it. The writing style's captivating, the idea somewhat intriguing. Not the best one out there, but definitely with promise, and oliversnape always delivers.
I liked the title reference. A lot, to be honest. And that's it from my side.

Is there a more mind-blowing, confusingly cute story about Snape and a female OC?
No, don't think so. Not that I usually read them. I despise OCs. So, take my word, as a OC-hater, this story is definitely a must-read. No classic, I am afraid, but it deserves everything else and more.

Control, Alt, Delete

Title: Control, Alt, Delete
Author: MirithGriffin
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John/Sherlock (switch), Sherlock/OMC
Warning: NC-17, slash, suicidal, memory, BDSM
Length: Novella
Status: Completed



If you could delete everything except what was really important, would you? Sherlock and John explore the question and each other. 


At AO3


Another "character study". John's realization that Sherlock's deleting led to his child-like emotional stage, is quite deep, in a way.
The BDSM was nice and well-done, even though this certainly does not qualify as a BDSM story at all. It's one chapter that particularly stands out - and that was fanservice. Yet, this author did better than many others who write stories after stories, or even publish them (like shades).

Lost For Words

Title: Lost For Words
Author: awanderingbard
Fandom: Sherlock
Characters: John, Sherlock, mommy Holmes, Mycroft
Warning: PG-13, injury, disability, amnesia
Length: Novella
Status: Completed




Sherlock is assaulted by an unknown assailant while John is away at a medical conference, leaving him with a severe brain injury. While his intellect and personality are intact, he's lost the use of his right-side limbs and his ability to speak freely. John suddenly finds himself as the main source of support, and possibly a caregiver, to a flatmate who is struggling to do the things he loves most. And Sherlock Holmes has never been the best of patients.



At AO3


A nice mommy Holmes. A nice one! One which seems almost normal. And with a rather normal Sherlock - mommy Holmes interaction! Really.
And the end makes you grin.
Because... everyone's fine^^

Dance Partners

Title: Dance Partners
Author: DementorDelta
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape/Harry
Warning: R, slash, amnesia, post-war
Length: Short
Status: Completed


Harry wakes up in the Infirmary, but why is Professor Snape the one acting so odd?


Dance Partners


Has been some time since I read this story - couldn't resist putting it up, though.
I like DementorDelta. Not all her stories are my cup of tea, but many. One of the authors you must know. Just like... Shakespeare. Or Poe. No matter whether you like them or not, they're classics, for god's sake XD

A Place for Warriors

Title: A Place for Warriors
Author: owlsaway
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape, Harry, Dumbledore
Warning: PG-13, child abuse, suicidal
Length: Novel
Status: Completed

5th year, Room of Requirements, Occlumency


Dumbledore locks Harry and Snape in the Room of Requirement. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other?


At FF


This is not a Room of Requirements Sap Story in which Harry tells Snape that he had been abused by the Dursleys. No. Yes, there's child abuse, yes, they're locked into the Room of Requirements. But it is so much more than it's ingredients.
And do you know what's the most heart-breaking? When Snape realizes how much damage Dumbledore has caused on Harry's soul. Without spoiling too much - that happens after they leave the room.
