Snarry-a-Thon 2009: Top 5 Recs

Snarry-a-Thon 2009 Recs

Snarry-a-Thon is an annual fest of Snarry goodness that always brings so much creativity and joy in the Snarry community. I am forever blown away by how much talent and passion Snarry-lovers have. With that in mind, I wanted to create some special recs for a fest near and dear to my heart.

My original plan was to create a list with one fic per year, but that quicky became impossible. There is much too much to love! I narrowed it down to 5 per year, but I urge you to take a looksy at the masterlists for each year, too, as there are many more fics than the ones I highlight! These lists are my personal favorites and what resonated with me the most.

And with that...

Disclaimer: my rec lists are created based on my personal experiences and preferences. There are plenty of other stories and authors who are quite good and deserve just as much love. This is not meant to be an objective "best of the best" list, but the subjective opinion of a longtime reader and fangirl.

An Awkward Customer

by AnyaElizabeth. Rated: E. Words: 10,768. Unresolved Sexual Tension. Resolved Sexual Tension.

Snape can't figure out why Potter is hanging around his shop.

The Man Who

by Dementordelta. Rated: E. Words: 10,773. Bachelor auction.

Harry Potter makes a deal with Severus Snape to keep himself from being humiliated in a charity auction. But sometimes a binding magical contract is more than a binding magical contract.

L'ouragan

by Femme (femmequixotic). Rated: E. Words: 9,111. New Orleans.

As a Louisiana girl, seeing New Orleans in a Snarry brought me so much joy, I have to say.

We had tried, but not even magic could stop the rising flood. Instead, we'd turned to rescuing those we could, joining the wizards and Muggles traversing the streets of the ward in boats, pontoons, any damn thing that could float. We pulled people from rooftops, from attics, from damned trees, until the soldiers arrived finally and sent us away.

The Secret of Seeing Rightly

by Quill_lumos. Rated: E. Words: 25,943. Bonding. Hurt/comfort. Romance.

Severus Snape can cope alone no-longer, he needs help. At the end of his energies he forces a bond on the one person who might be able to help him – Harry Potter.

Seven Steps to Heaven

by whitecotton. Rated: E. Words: 16,938. MCD. Drama. Humor. Parody.

Severus should have died in the shrieking shack and gone on to enjoy a relaxing death in hell - or heaven. However, although he managed the first task, he fell short at the second. Now he's stuck in the land of the living, invisible to all but one person: Harry Potter. Written for the 2009 Snarry-a-Thon. Note: Although this warns for character death, I can promise you a happy ending for our boys. If you are still reluctant, however, there is a good stop point that is still sunlight and roses at the end of Step Seven.
