Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Renegades (1989) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Buster McHenry/Hank Storm Summary: Buster McHenry and Hank Storm deal with aftermath of the events of the movie Renegades.

I’m so serious when I say I think about this fic like every day. Rosemary’s writing is so incredible and I cannot get enough of it. 

[houseofsnarry]

Until Proven! Great fic. Written and plotted before Half Blood Prince was published, if I remember correctly.

All of tiranog's Harry Potter works are completed and Snarry. The tags are incorrect.

There's one series. The order of which is A Nick in Time and then Growing Pains. (It is listed wrong on AO3.) A Nick in Time was written for Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest (2003), Third Wave from the prompt: 'Snape sleeps with his wand under his pillow.' Amazing!

Here's her personal website that has some notes about some of her fics (from Harry Potter and others).

Her HP fics are a classic in the Snarry fandom. Hope you enjoy them. <3

choosing violence with 2 and 3 please!!

Oooh!

2.) a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

Oh man nooooooo. Not the top/bottom discourse!!

Okay while I do love bottom!Snape now, there was a time I didn't like it (save for Whispers of Intent by tiranog for whatever reason.)

My biggest take was always how guarded he is, and prickly. And perhaps his own insecurities about letting people in (both emotionally and physically.)

Sex, while it should be simple fun, can often be used as a weapon. Power plays and exploiting weakness. Severus has been such a target for so much of his life, especially by the Marauders, and then he goes on and ends up in a terrorist organization? Which...might have had some sketchy sex-related stuff happening behind the scenes.

Then in my youthful ignorance there were such gems as "but he has top vibes" and "he's older so he must top" and also "his position of power as a teacher means he must top." (This specifically referencing Snarry specifically, as it's my OTP!) Thankfully I've matured since then!

Now I love the idea of a Severus who actually likes bottoming and taking his power by owning that. But oftentimes I still get feels of...he would really need to trust someone a lot to be able to let go like that. Of everyone, he's a man so in his own head about things, and so paranoid, he is the character I think more than most has a solid case/reason to have a vehement stance on it beyond "this is just what I like sexually."

3.) screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

Listen, I avoid most bad Tumblr takes. It's the Twitter takes that are doozies!

I think on Tumblr the worst I've seen have been those "I'm not anti-ship but" folks and I'm like "no no sweetie...that's pretty anti-ship."

"I think everyone should write and read what they want except for the pedos cuz ew" 🤣 Baby no.

But I only ever saw those takes via retweets wherein other people were giving them a refresher course on "why censorship is bad, actually."

anyone have any vampire fiction recs?

[consistentsquash]

do u have any good bottom snape recs?

Hiya nonnie!

Bottom Snape Recs. Oof. Where to start! Full disclosure that I don't personally read with this filter because my interest is Snape whump and don't really care about roles that much. But I have lots of recs for you!

Snarry

The big five Bottom Snape authors for a lot of Snarry readers these days

TiraNog - start with Whispers of Intent and see if it's your vibe

Meri - start with Courtship Rituals and see if that's your vibe.

@likelightinglass (filter to their bottom Snape works) start with Close Encounters and see if that's your vibe

@danpuff-ao3 (filter to their bottom Snape works) - start with Lover Boy at Play and see if that's your vibe.

EmilyWaters1976 - Also majority bottom Snape. Start with Mostly Harmless and see if it's your vibe!

Ok now let's get wild, weird, wonderful! <3 This is where a lot of my favorite fics are.

@perverse-idylll - If like me you like Snape Whump anything here If you want only 100% Bottom Snape, start with Warm and see if it's your vibe.

@ripeteeth - 100% Whump which works great for me. But for Bottom Snape, start with Suspiria and see if it's your vibe. Definitely read the warnings on this one.

Beyond Snarry!

I have some of my favorite authors in this category and some recs for you. Definitely check them out and don't let the pairings put you off.

Delphi

Pairings - mostly Snape Rare pairs. Snape/older male characters like Filch, Dumbledores, Kettleburn. So if age gaps in that direction isn't your thing definitely read the warnings first.

Bottom Snape recs to start - Fantastic Beasts

Bottom Snape recs when you are confident you vibe with the author's style - Remember Me to Cheetham Hill.

From there just go wild - filter for their Snape fics! Delphi doesn't tag bottom/top but their fics are bottom Snape. You really can't go wrong with this author. I am a big fan of their older fics with Snapledore pairing (Snape/Albus Dumbledore). But definitely start in the order I was suggesting to get used to the style. If you have more questions about the warnings on some of the fics definitely come back! But Delphi is really amazing about warnings and tags so 100% recommend reading those and making a call on a fic by fic basis.

Eldritcher

Pairings - Snarry and Snape/Aberforth. Also some Snape/Voldemort if you are like really adventurous.

Bottom Snape recs to start - The Tumtum Tree!

Bottom Snape recs when you are confident you vibe with the author's style - Frabjous Triad

From there just go wild - filter for their Snape fics on AO3. Eldritcher doesn't tag bottom/top but their fics are bottom Snape. If you liked those come back because the rest of their bottom Snape fic is on Dreamwidth and I can give links. I honestly haven't read a single fic from this author I didn't want to gush about. They are absolutely brilliant at technique and emotional connect. Also if you have questions about warnings come back. Because IIRC Eldritcher's tagging is probably still from the 2000s.

Other bigger fandom ships

Snupin fics generally write Snape as the bottom. So check that fandom if you like the vibe. Snegurochka - Start with Yes, Master. If you like the vibe, go for the rest! Cruise Director - Lots of Snupin! Check their fics out if that's your thing. Start with maybe Escapism. Lysanatt - The Diary of a Death Eater Whore.

There are some tropes I don’t personally read but which generally have more Bottom Snape - Time Travel, Mpreg, Omegaverse, kidfic in general, BDSM, Amnesia tropes, No magic/low magic AUs. So definitely check those tags on AO3 if you are starving <3

If you want even more definitely check out my previous recs in this list and filter using Bottom Snape (filter).

Hope you like something from the recs, nonnie! :D

—–

Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester*** (Supernatural) ( i can’t believe i wrote Dead Winchester in the original post what a fkin typo amiright)

He’s supposed to die at twenty-two trying to save the woman he loves from a fire, because he doesn’t have a brother to pull him back.

—–

Sebastian Michaelis/Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji)

Under These City Streets by DisgruntledMinion (complete; 90k+)The city held many secrets: hidden pathways that led to a hole in the wall restaurant boasting the best pizza in town or that the dinky looking building off Hickory Ave. was an upscale club. That creatures of the night existed among humans was not one of them. Ciel only wished he remembered that those same beings kept secrets of their own.(hands down the best vampire!AU I’ve ever read. I’m not kidding)

I reread the WHOLE FIC every time a new chapter comes out. this will put me in an early grave)

[its-itsjustice-love]

If you'd like a suuppper long bottom!snape snarry fic, may I recommend Until Proven by tiranog on ao3? The whole 1st chapter deals with snape being falsely accused of attacking a child but then every chap after it is just harry and severus getting closer and closer and its *chef kiss* I've reread it sooooo many times (but now I skip the 1st chapter) (trigger warnings: noncon, graphic burn injury) snape is soft and so self conscious and harry is the bubbly DADA professor you wanna hug

Thank you

[mousieta]

Ooo what's your Black Jewels au about? That sounds intriguing! And how hard is the 'gtop forever with you' going to make me cry.

This was an old headcanoning session between @lz-01 and I from like, years ago that basically just put Kpop idols into Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels universe. We worked out the ranks and castes of various idols and it was very delightful fun. Who knows if it ever goes anywhere but it was a fun exercise. 

Well... Forever With You is the GTop/Highlander crossover I’ve been toying with for like 3 years and, seeing as it is my personal homage to Tiranog’s Quality of Mercy fic (my favorite fic in all of existence), deals with life, death, reincarnation, rebirth and spans 1,000 years... yes I would anticipate many tears. 

The most tears will likely be from my current belief that I may have to move it from WIP to Abandoned, though. Writing for small to non-existent fandoms is tough on the psyche and I just have no clue what kind of readership it would have. So I might wind up keeping that one to myself. 

[eaion]

Hi! Okay, I admit I've only read Fraser/Ray/Ray fics :), but... There was an author who had exceptional talent - unfortunately she died a few years ago :( - and she wrote Due South fics too and had two multichapter Ray V/Fraser fics (and one Fraser/Ray K as well). As I know the author's other works in several different fandom (and I've also read her F/K fic), I think you should give these fics a try. :) Have a good reading time!

Does anyone happen to have some good Fraser/RayV fic recs?

Weekly Fic Recs - POI

Wednesday has come around again and with it more fic recs. This week is Person of Interest, all Reese/Finch. There’s a few more recs this week cuz there wasn’t enough to split into two lists. Happy reading, y’all. 

Weekly Rec Lists

Sympathy for the Hellhound (and the Broken Winged Bird) by RyuuzaKochou

Reese/Finch, Supernatural Au, Bamf Reese, Bamf Finch, Angst, Humor, Complete, 24k

Finch surveyed the room again through his glasses, but it did not become any less overbright with harsh fluorescents, it did not become any less damp, cold, concreted, stuffy or stale, the chair he sat on became no less roughly wooden and he, alas, remained absolutely, totally naked.

Life choices, the grim voice of his common sense cut in. Think on them.

Two men meet under the most dire of circumstances and must rely on each other to survive - and rise. Inspired by Macx's superlative Firewall series, with a twist, and a twist, and a twist.

Blind Men and Elephants by KRyn

Reese/Finch, Humor, Complete, 24k

"It occurred to me that I have been remiss in offering you options in continuing education, Mr. Reese. Studies show that employees who are given the opportunity to sharpen their skills prove to be more content and successful in their chosen fields."

John stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to parse the reason this particular bug had gotten under his partner's skin at this--godawful early--hour. No answers were forthcoming from the textured surface, so he sat up, tossed back the covers, and swung his legs over the side of the bed.

"I've already been to spy school, Finch."

The Most Important Meal of the Day by CaseyM

Reese/Finch, Complete, 12k

John rolled to his knees. And suddenly there was finely tailored wool right in front of him, navy with a slender gray stripe over a small but perfect ass, and Harold said, “Stay down. I’ve got this.”

John and Harold's relationship is complicated. Something as simple as coffee cake shouldn't lead to a breakthrough. But sometimes a little home cooking is all it takes.

Sometimes intuition is just a form of higher reasoning we cannot yet parse.

Catch a Boat to England, Baby (Maybe to Spain) by leupagus

Reese/Finch, Pre-Canon Au, Different First Meeting, Complete, 4.3k

The car door opens and one of the soldiers slides in, almost braining Harold with the butt of his gun. "Sorry, sir," the soldier says, breathless, "I thought you were in the other car — but you weren't — so I had to jump out and—"

"Who are you?" Harold says, but the soldier's familiar; the tall one who'd looked embarrassed.

And who still looks embarrassed. "Oh. Sorry, sir. Um. John Harris. Private Harris? I'm your um, assigned unit. Sir.” He sticks out a hand.

Orbital Motion by callmecathy

Reese/Finch, Complete, 4.2k

John barely remembers what it is to be loved.

(In which some things come easily, others don't, and John thinks they're what Harold might call a 'work in progress'.)

Truth and Lies by TimelessDreamer2

Reese/Finch, Complete, 2.7k

When Finch told Reese, he would never lie to him, he meant it. Harold Finch cannot lie.

Far From the Tree by wonderble

Threads by KRyn

Reese/Finch, Complete, 26k

"When we were forced to abandon the Library, I managed to destroy any digital trace of our activities that might offer a means to track us, even in our new identities. Nonetheless, we left behind a treasure trove of clues that offered certain...investigatory options for Samaritan to pursue. I thought it best to keep an eye open."

In the fourth season opener, Greer queries Samaritan as to the status of its efforts to hunt down Finch and Company. The response--'ongoing.' "Threads" is a series of short stories, each chapter a stand-alone, exploring some of the ways Samaritan might attempt to draw our heroes out of hiding.

“You really think it’s that bad?” John asks, tugging at the sleeves of the pantsuit he’s been working on.

“What were you thinking, this hasn’t passed ‘bad’ all the way to ‘hideous’ yet, I’ll just put a fleece jacket over it and give it a final shove?” Shaw asks.

A Lifetime For A Day by eyeus

Reese/Finch, Bakery Au, Fluff, Complete, 9.3k

“Your Danishes appear dry, over-flaked, and uninspired,” the man informs him. “I don’t doubt the rest of your creations are in the same vein.”

John blinks. This is new; no one’s ever eviscerated him quite like this before.

Part 1 of Of Croquillants and Apple π

All I Know Is Flight by hedda62

Reese/Finch, Complete, 3.7k

Not that the Library is only a workplace. It has atmosphere and beauty and dust and shadows; it holds lingering echoes of lightning keystrokes and reluctant smiles; it's where he meant when he told Carter he wanted to go home. It's the place he works with Finch, and therefore it's like nowhere else in the world.

And now they have to leave it behind.

Miracle on 56th Street by thisstarvingartist

Reese/Finch, Fluff, Complete, 14k

The incoming Christmas season brings along with it a storm the likes of which New York City has never seen; snow stands over four feet high on every street corner, buildings two hundred stories high are invisible through the torrential downpour of snow and hail. Every business and company has been shut down for the foreseeable winter season; not a soul dares wander through the desolation.

Not one, aside from a man with a shovel and a rather cheerful Belgian Malinois.

(Or: The worst snow storm of the century lays waste to New York as Christmas season draws near, leaving its inhabitants stranded in their homes. Harold Finch suffers a severe bout of claustrophobia. John, as always, comes to the rescue.)

An Unstoppable Force by giandujakiss, iteration

Reese/Finch, Female Finch, Feelings, Complete, 28k

John is still trying to figure out this little mouse of a woman who’s hired him, who can do anything with computers and has more money than God and who can barely walk and yet somehow always manages to evade him, who won’t tell him anything about herself but who says she knows everything about him – and he knows that can’t be true, it can’t –

When he realizes, she’s actually attracted to him.

Snow Days by Jo (jmathieson)

Reese/Finch, Fluff, Snowed In, Friends to Love, Complete, 21k

During New York's 'Blizzard of the Century', Finch feels trapped in his own home. Reese and Bear walk across New York in the blizzard to come to Finch's rescue. New York is without power, so the machine is blind. At Finch's house, Finch and Reese talk, play chess, and talk some more. They each share some of their past, and some of their feelings.

It's a Dog's Life by manic_intent

Reese/Finch, Fantasy Au, Complete, 9k

Six months, no yellow cape, and one and a half thankfully harmless gun accidents after, Harold and Nathan had settled into a routine. The Machine would send them a number, and Harold would try his damnedest to resolve it through a computer. Usually, this endeavour would end in failure, because despite the advent of technology, the idiocy of certain members of humanity was so fundamental that not even computers could provide any sort of real solution.

This meant that Nathan often had to intervene. Sometimes they hired help: which had worked out with varying degrees of disaster. Sometimes they tipped off the police. Sometimes Nathan and Harold ventured out, bickering all the time, and the success rate of this latter tactic was usually at around 24%. It also usually served to further erode Harold’s already falling opinion of humanity.

Machine Language by manic_intent

Reese/Finch, Cyborg Au, Sci Fi Au, Complete, 8k

Snow had rambled halfway through the brief before he realized that John wasn't paying him any attention: as he trailed off, Kara's gaze jumped from Snow to John, then to the inoffensive, quiet-looking middle-aged man who had followed Snow into the briefing room only to sit in a corner without a word.

"Something on your mind, Agent?" Snow asked irritably.

"Sorry, Mark," John drawled. "It's just that I've never seen a cybrid before."

Dangerous If Unbound by astolat

The Texas sun beating down was merciless, almost a physical weight on his shoulders. John couldn't move even to change the angle: the collar was tight, the cuffs were tight, and the chains had been pulled to their limits.
