FICS RECS: from hp_yule_balls
Title: Bred in Captivity
Author: jadzialove
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Harry Potter/Severus Snape, Harry/OMC, Ron/Hermione
Summary: Being sentenced to serve his time in Potter's custody is not the ultimate price Severus expected to pay for his crimes. It's not Harry's idea of post-war bliss either. But in making the best of a bad situation, they just might find something neither could have anticipated: understanding.

This was jadzialove's entry for hp_yule_balls. Snape is released into Harry's custody after the war, is maudlin and depressed, Harry takes care of him, then the tables are turned and Snape has to decide whether or not...OH NO, THAT'S ENOUGH, I'm giving away the story! It's a great read; Snape's inner monologue is perfectly Snape, there's jealously, and an OMC, as well as a likable adult Hermione, everything I like to find in a Snarry. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: the author is a queen of one-liner's, particularly the ones she puts in Snape's mouth. This story is angsty and sad in places, but has a touch of romance, and trust me, by the end you'll be wholly satisfied.

Title: A Master's Love
Author: sweetmelodykiss
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Severus/Harry
Summary: Post war: Once again, Harry needs rescuing from himself and the only man for the job is Snape.

This was my gift in hp_yule_balls, for which I asked for Snarry BDSM. This is a D/s fic, so stay away if that squicks you, by my, my it pressed all my ♥ buttons. It's well-written, features a submissive Harry who's made a mess of his life, and then Snape agrees to take him on. The best part of this story is that the author got the BDSM right--not a torture fest or dominating for the hell of it, but as a lifestyle choice with rules and respect for each other openly portrayed.
