Summary
This is the English translation of "Elysejský klíč" a popular Snarry slash fanfiction originally written in Czech by Alice O'Really. It is considered to be probably the most popular Czech Harry Potter fanfiction of all time. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
It is the beginning of June 1996, Albus Dumbledore had just drunk the deadly potion protecting the horcrux. Severus Snape, bound by the Unbreakable Vow to Narcissa Malfoy, is rushing to the Astronomy tower, and Harry's sixteenth birthday is less than two months away…
"Did he hurt you?"
"Yes. But not like you."
Harry sat down, his face, scarred with purple lines, pointed directly at Snape. "Did you scream?"
"Yes."
"Liar!" Harry was livid. "You would have never, ever screamed!"
"Don’t be such an idiot, Harry!" Snape exploded. "Of course I was screaming! Pushing pain over the tolerance threshold is an unbendable process, and any attempt to disrupt it through sheer willpower is... insignificant."

Bookmarker's Notes
I have just started reading this fic, a translation of a popular Czech fanfic; it’s amazing! There’s a *lot* of technical writing involved, and world-building, straight from the gate, and if the translator and their betas weren’t daunted by that, I think it’s going to be a wonderful read!
Definitely check it out! More rec info to follow . . . .

Summary
Enemy, apprentice, friend. Associate is too clinical, lover sounds too personal, partner too enduring. Confidante? Comrade? Companion?
There is no word for what Levi is, to him. What do you call an equal other than an equal?
A counterpart, Erwin thinks.

Summary
5 years after the final battle
'The world has gone crazy', Harry thought
I live in Seattle. Ron and Draco are colleagues and somewhat ‘friends’. Master Snape bakes, as in an actual kitchen. I'm the first person in hundreds of years born with sex magic. I’m looking forward to starting submissive training at The Lair. I can’t wait for my potions apprenticeship to start, and it looks like there’s actually such a thing as a true mate, exceedingly rare though they are, and mine is Master Severus Snape, who loathes me.
Can Harry keep up with a sadist who has lived in the BDSM lifestyle since before Harry was born, much less bond with the man... and how do Draco and his boyfriend fit into the equation?

Bookmarker's Notes
An incredibly powerful story that depicts the Death Eaters as the terrifying and dark group of wizards and witches that jkr wanted them to be but was evidently too squicked to write lol! Bolshevikmuppet99 takes the DE’s where very few writers have believably taken them before!
Ginny Weasley is obsessed with Tom Riddle after her first year at Hogwarts; she has enough self preservation to realize, however, that revealing her feelings will devastate her parents and bring her family the absolute worst kind of attention from their world. So she hides her feelings. . . until she can’t.
Incredibly well told; Platinum-tier rec!!!!

Awesome series that just keeps getting better. Harry Potter has discovered Dumbledore’s plans for him to die. Upon meeting with many of his fellow students, he forms a group of followers/mentorees who call themselves Wraiths (as they don’t speak), with Harry as their leader/Speaker. The group creates a plan to form their own side of the War (I love this Independent!Harry trope!).
The fic follows the characters as they conduct research and take action in support of their objectives, while trying to stay under the adults’ radar.
Well written and tightly plotted, this is a Platinum-tier series that you absolutely won’t want to miss!Whatcha waitin for? Go read!

An excellent fic! Not my usual fare; it’s Snack and Harry/Lupin. AU in several ways including back stories for both MC’s.
Such a great story! Snape/Sirius-centric, Hogwarts, post-war, Dumbledore is alive and stays in his own little space in the far background. Thank god, b/c we didn’t have to deal with the “You killed Dumbledore” drama.
Snape treats Sirius’ “Soul Rot” lol. Just go read; you’ll be so glad you did!

Many's the Night by vespertine_rose
Fandoms: Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
22 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
With the speed and precision of a cobra strike, Jesse grabbed Bob by his shirt collar and wrenched him closer. Bob pushed back against Jesse’s wrists, a useless effort. In the candlelight, Jesse’s eyes seemed dark, their hypnotic blueness rendered indistinct. The two men were so close they shared breath. Bob knew all too well that Jesse liked to play with his kills like a cat with a mouse, and in that moment, he felt like prey.
“I couldn’t decipher you for awhile,” Jesse said, his voice a low rumble of thunder. “I had my suspicions since first I saw you. But tonight, I knew for damn sure. You can’t hide from me now.”
Jesse James and Robert Ford each want things from the other, things that must remain unspoken, things that will take them to their graves.

Bookmarker's Notes
A fantastic fic that’s based on the true story of Jesse James, 19th century American outlaw: the writer’s sources are the film and book (both) titled, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The writer crafted a suspenseful, engaging story that I honestly couldn’t put down until I finished the fic. They captured great details of life during the late 1800’s, in the american midwest, and crafted an amazing relationship between James and Ford that is completely believable within the context of the story.
I read this fic fandom-blind and loved every minute of it! Writer is exceptionally talented. Definitely a platinum-tier rec!

Coming of age in the declining northern borough of Cokeworth wouldn’t be easy for any eight-year-old boy. For reasons that defied logic, being named ‘Harry Potter’ only seemed to complicate matters.
Second in the Storm Surge Series.
Sequel to Grease & Lightning.
HP&SS friend/mentor/Severitus-style fic. No slash.
M rating is for language and violence/gore.

Wonderfully written Severitis that I’m glad I found here! It’s totally canon Snape. He’s exactly what I’d have thought he’d be in a pre-canon canon.
Harry is perfect. And the author *has to be* a Brit b/c the details are just, on point. Descriptions, language, are more British than you’ll find in most stories.
I really enjoyed the first fic in the series, “Grease and Lightning” (how perfect is that?!), and I highly recommend it!
Just starting this story, with highest hopes for awesome Sev and Harry, once again! -

The world hasn't ended. It's just not theirs anymore.
It belongs to other things, now, strange and terrible. Life thrives in the ruins of humanity.
But not all of those things are incomprehensible, murderous horrors. Or, at least, not just that. And Carol Bennett is not in any position to be picky about her friends.

Summary
The porridge smelled amazing. Better than any food she had ever served before. It smelt…like his own cologne, like that dead animal on the street, the heat of fresh blood.
He blinked sedately at Merope, who was watching him with anxious anticipation.
Amortentia.
Really? Really, Merope?
It ends the way it was originally supposed to. Merope Gaunt dies due to her son.
But this time he is seventeen years old, closer to eighteen than a mere twenty minutes old and still covered in afterbirth.
--
If Merope lived would she be in love with her son?

Hadrian was an esteemed heir to a noble house, and he had every right to walk these streets with his father.or
Harry ran away from home as a young boy to live on the streets. A certain Black takes him in, and the name Harry Potter, and the boy it belonged to, vanished.
All characters and places, other than the ones I created, belong to J.K. Rowling and her army of savages.

Excellent, beautifully crafted story. Diamond-tier rec!!!
Severus and Regulus are besties at this point. It’s clear that, though much of their characters remain the same as in canon, certain aspects are quite different (thank god). Regulus takes in Harry and his ‘brother’ unbeknownst to Dumbledore, who is a manipulative twit (canon IMO). Such a good story.

Summary
Magic will follow intent. He has been told that in every class, every year, since he first stepped foot in Hogwarts. No spell, no potion—nothing will work unless your intent is clear and your mind is focused. And he knows it’s true, it's why he once found himself on the roof of his school while attempting to escape certain pain and broken bones. Or why, even earlier, when faced with another adult being willfully ignorant of his signs abuse, he turned the woman’s hair a shocking blue.
This foundational rule of magic was ingrained into him when he summoned Prongs to save Sirius and himself from the Dementors. Magic will follow intent. So he’s not really surprised to find himself here once again—on the precipice of highly improbable, though not impossible, magic. After all, he is “The Boy Who Lived.” So he’ll figure out a way to live through this like he always does, because Harry Potter always perseveres—even if he can’t be “Harry Potter” anymore, and it’s 1974, and Voldemort is at the height of his power, and Severus Snape has, weirdly enough, really pretty eyes.
“Yeah,” Harry thought as he attempted to ignore that last bit his mind unhelpfully added on, “I can do this.”

Excellent story featuring a Time-Traveling Harry who becomes Henry, Lord Peverell, after a Gringotts visit. Having returned to 1974 and been placed in his parents’ year in school (as a Slytherin!), Henry craves a relationship with Severus, and cultivates a ((gorgeously rendered) relationship with Death.
A beautiful and very readable fic that I can’t put down! Highly recommended!
