Title: The Overlooked
Author: ChristineX
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape/OFC (Celeste), Voldemort, Dumbledore
Warning: PG-13, character death (Snape), child, war
Length. Novel
Status: Completed
Snape discovers the existence of a magically gifted young woman who never received an invitation to Hogwarts. But as the final confrontation with Voldemort approaches, can Snape protect her from those around her...including himself?
FF
Another OFC story. Can't believe it. Well, the story deserves the rec. It highlights how Snape is torn between making a life for himself and the war effort. I thought the end was a bit depressing. He never got to know his son. I'd have loved it if the end diverged from canon.

Hermione Granger and the Intended Vessels

Warning: NC-17, dub-con, pregnancy, illness (tumor), war, school
Length: Novel

It takes some time to like the plot. I never was very impressed with the pairing, but the story makes it a bit more believable how Snape could fall in love with her. Or in which ways he could not.

Sometimes all it takes to change the world is one small, simple choice. On the night the Death Eaters attack Hogwarts, Hermione Granger makes such a choice. Her life—and her world—will never be the same.
The guilt from killing Draco is bad enough, and knowing she saved Dumbledore doesn’t help it, but when a Ministry decree forces her to marry Professor Snape—a cruel, cold man who’s apparently hated her since she was a child—in order to be used as a breeder of superior wizards, Hermione doesn’t think her life can get any worse. But, of course, she’s wrong.
Soon, Voldemort’s after her and her friends (again), her life is in grave peril, and all her hopes for a future at all, much less a happy one, rest on her own shoulders—and on Snape, her unwanted husband, whose heart still belongs to a woman long dead.

In her heart, Nymphadora Tonks knows that Remus Lupin is the only man for her. Then why can’t she get Severus Snape out of her head?
A rare pairing, indeed. Not only this is one of the fine points why one should read it, but also because Snape is shown from his best, worst, kindest, meanest side.

Snape's only saving the unborn child of a strange woman. He never signed up for having his house invaded and a stranger and her child caring for him after the snake bite.
FF
Snape with a child - even if it's not his own, could we ask for more?
It takes some time until you get to like the OC female, but you will. Her pride is similar to Snape's, and that is why their relationship is interesting. They tend to fight a lot. Very snarky.

Snape hated his life. Not only had he been denied the DADA position for the 16th time in a row, but he was risking his very life spying for the Order without any recognition from his peers. They were all such a bunch of ungrateful illiterates..
Well-written OC story. And I quite enjoyed it, even though I am by nature wary of OCs. Here, the relationship between the teachers is at the center of the story, as well as Snape's war effort.

Well-written by an author, I have to admit, I did not know before this story. I dabble a lot in ships, but once in a while, you find these gen gems, and they make you wonder why you spend so much time reading cheesy, horrible ship fics...

The Only True Lords
Title: The Only True Lords
Author: Lomonaaeren
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Harry, Draco, Snape
Warning: PG-13, bond, post-hogwarts, locked, injury(Zabini)
Length: Novella
Status: Ongoing
"The Lords of Elfland are true lords, the only true lords, the kind that do not exist on this earth: their lordship is the outward sign or symbol of real inward greatness.” Ursula K. Le Guin. Harry ends up accidentally bonding himself as Lord to several Slytherins after the Battle of Hogwarts, including Snape and Draco Malfoy. It’s a long journey from putting his foot in it all the time to at least trying to be a good one.
At AO3
Exactly what you expect from Lomonaaeren - tension. I like the Slytherins' views, e.g. Zabini who is disgusted by the thought of servitude, Draco who likes to feel safe, Goyle who doesn't want to take responsibility for himself, Pansy who sees a chance to seize, and Snape who cares most about survival. Harry is a good mixture between politically verse and a hint dark. Yes, potentially one of her best work.

Length: Novel

Snape's daily struggle with his life after Voldemort's fall. Back at Hogwarts, he is caught up between the students' dissatisfaction, Dumbledore's demands, lawsuits, grief and responsibility.
At AO3
This actually is part of a series, though I only am interested in "The Professor", not in the prequel. Snape's struggle after the war is often let out of fanfictions as Rowling revealed essential details quite late and even then it's up to a lot of speculation. This author managed to make his suffering quite real. While it sometimes seems like he's drowning in the issues around him, the writer succeeds to get him further. He changes, gets back to the surface. Step by step, Snape's turning into whom we know: canon!Snape. The development is very interesting to observe.

Angsty story mainly focusing on Draco's feelings. The Snarry part is more or less a bit on the light side, so I do not take it for a real Snarry. This is Drarry. And a classic.

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.

Dear Aunt Snape
Title: Dear Aunt Snape
Author: marginaliana
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Snape, Luna
Warning: PG
Length: Short
Status: Completed
Snape's words reach more people than he'd counted on when he is recruited for The Quibbler's new advice column.
At AO3
This story really put me in a difficult spot: I don't rec everything I read. Obviously. Would be far too much, and not the kind of "canon" a rec list should resemble. So, whenever I read a story, I ask myself a few questions. One of those: will I ever feel the need, the urge to read this again? And I thought: God, yes, there's something, there's something in there... the simplicity, the open end. It keeps you on your toe. But then I asked myself: is it that much better than the last story you read? Or as good as the last one you rec'ed? Short stories have to fulfil more criteria than novel-length fiction, basically because there are much more and the competition is so big.
Fair enough, this story is not exceptionally tragic, nor novel in any way. Snape's drifting, living, existing. Are there not many stories featuring just that? Yeah, I fear so. And can I, as a rec'er, justify to myself that I put this one up here instead of those others?
I hope so. Because I really, really liked the open end, the uncertainty in this story.
