In celebration of the Harry Potter movie coming out (and me getting some free time), I have another Snarry rec for you tonight.

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Author on LJ: tiranog
Author Website: Tiranog's Website

Why this must be read: because there is nothing hotter than a vampire story and Snape as a vampire? Scorching.

Set after the war, Harry is an adult and Snape is a vampire. In tiranog's sublime plot, Harry and Snape come to an unusual arrangement, Harry will be Snape's 'blood donor' and in return, Snape will satisfy Harry's sexual needs. But, as with all Tiranog's stories, this arrangement takes a turn into something more as Harry begins to care for Snape. Amazing characterizations and hot, sensual scenes will leave you panting for more.


Nocturne

Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Racetrack/Helo, Sharon/Helo (implied)
Author on LJ: summer_smile
Author Website: Siren Icons
Why this must be read:

summer_smile doesn’t write enough fic. She just doesn’t. But every time she posts something, it’s a treat. She’s got this style to her writing, a way of making a fic almost a sensory experience in the way she brings the touch, the taste, the smell, the sound and the sight of a scene, that just pulls the reader in as though he or she were inside a virtual reality episode. And All This Land is no exception. From the very first, you experience Maggie Edmondson landing on New Caprica for a two-day pass to clear her head and renew her spirit.

In the author’s words, this fic is “the ‘Unfinished Business’ of Mags and Karl,” giving us a story of the relationship they had before the Cylons, before he was left behind on Caprica; giving us a glimpse of things when he showed up again, pregnant Cylon lover in tow. But even more than that, this fic gives us a glimpse of a secondary character who was supposed to be a one-shot but who turned out to have staying power in the BSG universe. It gives us some history for Racetrack and it gives us some history for the Colonies and Colonial customs and religion.

All This Land is a lovely story and even if you’ve never thought of Racetrack/Helo as a pairing, it’s worth a read if only for summer_smile’s writing and for the backstory she’s created for this fascinating universe.

Spoilers for Home 2 and the missing year.

All This Land

And please, if you enjoy this fic, leave her some love, ‘cause she really should be encouraged to write more, whenever she gets the chance. :)
