Rec List: Snarry for Beginners

Are you a bit Snarry curious, but also sorta wary and unsure where to start? Good news: I have some recs for you!

Snarry is a tricky ship for some folks. All of its most problematic themes are what draw me in personally, but that's not to say there aren't some safe places to start for a newcomer!

What I've chosen are:

• Nothing too long, so you can get a little taste to see how you feel. So I'm looking at 50k or under.


• Nothing "problematic" or as few "problematic" themes as I can get. No underage. No power imbalance. No consent issues. (...or at least nothing egregious haha.)


• Works that also maintain some integrity to Harry and Severus' individual characters, and the tension between them. If I play it too safe it won't feel properly Snarry to me! Half the fun is the tension between them, so we must keep that!

So...If you wanna check some out, keep reading!

Notes: Dedicated to perverse_idyll , forever my biggest writing crush, and Snarry idol. So much of what I love about Snarry can be traced back to PI. She is one who put that need in me so see more of this dynamic and these types of stories; the very raw humanity and emotion that I can't get enough of and needed more of...and so I had to write it! A big part of where I am today was influenced by her. This story is the dearest to my soul, and it's important for me to acknowledge how important PI has been to my Snarry journey all these years. ♥️
