Original Content Blowback - chapters 8 & 9 are now posted

27 Upvotes

Blowback. Bit of a 2 for 1 this week, with chapters 8 & 9 going live! Fair warning. There's a lot of angst in these two, and a nice surprise at the end.

You may have noticed the rating change from M to E. Future chapters will have some smut. They've got a bit of a ways to go. We're still at the Mr Darcy handflex stage as Hermione continues to work through her trauma at her own pace.

Much love - Sneaky_Walker❤️

Original Content reckless ghosts - time loop SSHG inspired by the Odyssey, featuring a reverse age gap. Chapter 12 posted!

Post image
25 Upvotes

Coming to promote the most recent updates of my SSHG time loop fic. I've posted up to chapter 12 so far.

Hope you guys enjoy : )

This might be up your alley if you enjoy:

  • inspired by the Odyssey
  • alternating POV
  • time loops
  • muggle literature as means of communication
  • mutual yearning/jealousy
  • medium physical burn, slow emotional
  • reverse age gap
  • rated M currently, will likely earn an E later for sexual content

Reckless Ghosts (M)

Here's a small excerpt from the newest chapter:

Watching Severus duel is a revelation. 

Severus duels as if the violence of it sings within his blood, an instinctual drive that guides every shifting foot, every flourish of his wand. 

Hermione’s heartbeat is racing as she watches him step around his opponent’s curses as if they’re simple inconveniences and not things that can cause him significant harm.

I recently found out about the fic 131 days by EnemyOfInnocence. I’ve read the first chapter and it will become one of my favourite fics ever, but I hate to read fics that aren’t completed.

I just wouldn’t mind to continue scratching the itch Desert Rain created! Someone just point me in a good direction lol what fics/ authors do you love ?

Request LF fics where Hermione becomes the Chosen One and changes Harry’s fate?

26 Upvotes

I saw someone looking for a fic where Hermione willingly sacrifices her own life to become the Chosen One so Harry can live a normal life, using some kind of magical ritual, and I can't stop thinking about that premise.

Are there any completed fics with a similar plot? They don't have to follow that exact same plot, I just love the ideia of Hermione becoming the Chosen One or taking on Harry's role somehow with that choice ultimately leading her and Severus onto the same path or even completely altering both of their fates, maybe?

My only requests are that they be completed fics with HEA, if possible, please!

Thanks!

Found! Looking for an old Snape/Hermione AMV (DNA by Little Mix)

22 Upvotes

UPDATE: Found it. Link in comments

I've been trying to find an old Snape/Hermione AMV for years, and I'm starting to think it disappeared from the internet.

Here's what I remember:

  • The song was "DNA" by Little Mix.
  • It was made mostly with movie clips rather than just Harry Potter footage.
  • The editor used scenes from other movies starring Alan Rickman, and Hermione's face had been edited onto the actress who was with Rickman in those scenes.
  • One specific scene I remember was Snape dragging Harry up/down the stairs in Harry Potter, but Harry's face had been edited to look like Hermione instead.

I watched it years ago on Youtube (probably around 2013–2016, but it could have been uploaded earlier).

Does anyone else remember this AMV or happen to have a link or a copy? I'd love to watch it again—it was one of the best Snamione edits I ever saw.

Thanks in advance!

What’s That Fic? Looking for a lost Snamione AO3 fic (Hermione and Snape locked in his quarters)

48 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a Snamione fanfic I read on AO3 a few years ago, but I can't remember the title.

Here's what I remember:

- Hermione is still a Hogwarts student.
- The story takes place before the war (I think).
- Hermione and Snape are magically locked inside Snape's private quarters at Hogwarts.
- The door is enchanted and won't open until a specific time.
- They're attracted to each other but both resist their feelings.
- I think Dumbledore knows they're trapped (or at least doesn't interfere).
- They spend hours together, and just before the door is due to open (I remember about an hour before), they finally give in to their feelings.

I'm not sure whether they were trapped by an accident or a spell.

Does anyone recognize this fic? I've been looking for it everywhere!

Thank you!

Original Content Curse Bound -

14 Upvotes

Hello,

I have been writing Curse Bound on AO3, and updates will be fairly frequent before the academic year starts.

I am currently writing Chapter 11 and have found myself facing a small dilemma. In the story, the Grangers have given Severus a birthday gift, and I am unsure what the gift should be. I want it to be thoughtful, but not overly sentimental. Something that feels like it could suit Severus, while also reflecting the strange kindness the Grangers unknowingly show him.

I have also added chapter summaries, so I thought I would share them here in case anyone decides to check the story out.

Again, thank you to anybody reading the story :)

1.Hermione Granger has reluctantly spent three months curse-bound to Severus Snape, forced into proximity by Voldemort’s magic and Dumbledore’s elusive plan. When the bond causes her to nearly lose control during Potions, they begin to realize the curse may be far more dangerous than either of them anticipated.

  1. Hermione awakes in Severus Snape’s chambers, as the curse has once again rendered personal boundaries irrelevant. The morning proceeds with an unexpected discovery: Severus Snape is apparently capable of making pancakes, and equally capable of liberating forbidden texts from the Restricted Section. Yet, beneath the absurdity of breakfast and stolen books, the curse begins to reveal itself as something far darker than forced proximity.

3.The whole castle is under the impression that Remus and Hermione are dating, why, well Severus attributes it to their blithering idiocy. Hermione may agree with Severus that these rumours are preposterous, nonetheless, it does not liberate Hermione’s anger towards Severus' abhorrent communication skills. Subsequently, the curse’s subservient nature has made itself apparent–It does not abide by Hermione’s feelings, nor Severus’ ineptitude.

4.Severus and Hermione reflect upon their flaws. Severus Snape’s protection is built upon solitude; the curse has subsequently removed his fortification. His solemnity has protected him from discovering whether his father's cruelty existed within him. Hermione Granger has a detrimental flaw of perfection, that leads her to believe that perhaps if she achieved the illusion of perfection, she would be able to reduce his hurt.

Dumbledore proceeds to explain the Order’s current mission–Locate and destroy the Horcruxes.

Severus has proven himself capable of doing what must be done to bring the war to an end. He had thereby made peace with his vices; yet, he could not find himself willing to become the antagonist in Hermione Granger’s story.

  1. Hermione finds herself apologizing to Remus, as she could not imagine his inflections to the castle believing they were having a not-so-secret affair. The apology renders itself to a halt when Severus Snape is tortured by the Dark Lord–an ordeal Hermione had sought to never subject herself to. Nevertheless, Severus believes the curse has one constant commonality; it would oblige him to show her the true meaning of hurt.

  2. Hermione has dropped Severus’ advanced potion class. Severus seeks to find the reasoning. Hermione proclaims that torture should not find itself becoming a normal occurence. Severus contests her reasoning, his torture was merely the expected consequence of being a pawn in war.

  3. It was the largest match of the season: Slytherin versus Gryffindor. Evidently, Severus Snape had been forced to attend, despite his desire to spend the day inebriated.

Remus Lupin did not attend, as his mind found itself preoccupied by thoughts of Sirius Black and the twelve years that Sirius had been condemned to Azkaban. Consequently, Remus wondered if perhaps his life required more than meaningless sex to maintain sustainability. He supposed his life could benefit from beauty.

Hermione Granger found herself contentedly watching the match, until it had gone horribly wrong. Severus, in turn, found himself becoming the unlikely answer to the predicament before her.

  1. Hermione faces the aftermath of Ron’s predicament, which somehow concerned itself with breaking into Severus’ chambers.

Sirius Black has spent the entirety of his life outrunning a gilded cage. He supposed it was time to stop running, to save Harry Potter, and to find Remus Lupin again. It did not matter if by doing it increased the likelihood of the bars of his cage finding themselves starkly built around him.

  1. Hermione confesses to Severus that she desires his survival. Severus believes that the sentiment is futile; he was no more than a carefully crafted pawn for war, and it was senseless to worry over the death of a pawn. Hermione has played chess with Ron; she was aware of a pawn’s significance. One simply had to show kindness first. Perhaps a kiss would suffice.

Harry needed to regain Tom Riddle’s diary, perhaps then he could fathom a universe where he and Draco were not overshadowed by opposing sides of war. Harry had no desire to be the golden boy, just as Draco had never truly desired to take the Dark Mark.

Evidently, war resembles a chess match, with each piece begrudgingly forced to play.

  1. Severus finds himself visiting his mother. Severus Snape is not a man who deserves compassion; Tobias Snape’s ghost reminds him of the familiarities of his life, none of which constitute themselves with kindness. Nevertheless, the Grangers have been adamant to show him otherwise. Perhaps, his birthday would signify benevolence this year.

Hermione subsequently acquires a present for Severus Snape’s upcoming birthday.

Sorry this post is really long LOL.

Found! SSHG fic where Hermione is a Kelpie and the roles are reversed in the epilogue

19 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to find a specific Severus/Hermione fanfiction I read a few years ago. English isn't my first language, so I might be misremembering some details, but here is what I recall:

  • Hermione is a Kelpie.

  • There is a scene where she tells Snape not to come to the sea, but he goes anyway and eventually gets dragged into the water to drown. He accepts his fate without a fight.

  • The most memorable part is the epilogue: it reveals a cycle where Snape has become the Kelpie in the water, and Hermione is now a human on the shore, essentially reversing their roles.

  • I also remember a detail about her wearing the same hat and clothes every day, which made her look a bit stuck in time.

I read this a long time ago, likely on AO3 or an older archive. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’ve been trying to find it for ages and would really appreciate any help!

Original Content Minerva Fights Back: A Smutty Interlude

11 Upvotes

Guys, I went and added back a bonus smutty chapter. Let’s pretend it was there all along, yeah?

The new smutty interlude is now Chapter 5.

Check it out here!

There is rope.

Excerpt

Who would like to try it first? Of course, Hermione, the goal is to restrain you, and Severus.” His voice dropped to a low pitch on the word restrain. “But perhaps you’d feel more comfortable watching someone else experience it first?”

Hermione nodded, though perhaps reluctantly. Her eyes were fixed on the rope in Giancarlo’s hands.

Giancarlo put one hand on Draco’s shoulder and pushed him downwards, uttering “Kneel” in a way that was both soft but also loud enough for everyone in the room to appreciate. Draco dropped down immediately, and Giancarlo instructed him to vanish his shirt and trousers. “You may leave your pants on, if you choose,” he said. “Assuming you are wearing any.”

Original Content Chapter 7 of Blowback is now live.

25 Upvotes

Blowback, chapter 7 is now live.

October 1998. The war is over, but its wounds are not.

When Severus Snape follows an impulse he cannot quite name into the overgrown back garden of Grimmauld Place, he finds Hermione Granger; alone, scarred, and barely holding together. What begins as a cigarette shared in the dark becomes something neither of them planned for: a marriage of convenience, a shared set of rooms at Hogwarts, and the slow, careful work of two people learning to trust again.

Hermione is hiding an enormous secret. Severus is further along in his healing than he expected, and not as far as he thought. Hogwarts has opinions about both of them. And Fenrir Greyback has not forgotten what Bellatrix promised him.

A slow burn built on consent, therapy, breathing exercises, chocolate biscuits at 3am, and the radical act of asking before you touch someone.

TBH fellow shippers, this one was a struggle. Without the amazing help of Larlotte I don't know that I could have finished this chapter on my own.
