Templum Bellonae

Wow, it seems like such a long time since I’ve read any really good HP slash. And this story is awesome.

A plot by Voldemort’s forces leaves Harry without his magic, unable to defend himself from any attack. In an attempt to keep him safe, Dumbledore has him move into a London flat, with Snape as his only contact with the wizarding world.

I categorized this story as “humour”, even though it really isn’t, because I found Snape’s thoughts about Harry’s new neighbourhood hysterically funny.

Potter’s hallway resonated with the same rhythmic, primitive thumps he’d heard the week before. Perhaps it wasn’t music at all, but some sort of debased communication between the tenants. Snape stood outside the door and knocked.

There was a lengthy pause, during which he was able, to his chagrin, to make out a semblance of lyrics accompanying the din–an invitation to slump my hump, humpy hump, slump my dumpy hump, it seemed–and then, just as he was raising his hand to knock again, the door opened a crack. Potter stood behind it, eyeing him warily.

For the most part, though, the story is contemplative and a bit sad, but a wonderful read.

Sanctum Sanctorum by Witling

I think the title says it better than I could. Response to Severus Snape Fuh-Q Fest scenario 30: Pomfrey thinks she’s detected usage of a Potion that completely suppresses the libido.

When Severus goes cold-turkey, his unwanted sexual impulses come roaring back. And who else would Dumbledore choose to help Snape at this time but Hogwarts’s newest professor, Harry Potter?

The Love Song of Bastard and Idiot by Predatrix

Harry and Severus work together to destroy Voldemort. A good story, with intriguing and believable magic.

Clay by Kass

Fairly short, but funny and good. Bonus points because the author used one of my favourite poems in the story.

Belloc’s Amphibiary, ha!

The Familiar by Resonant

Ten due South and Harry Potter smutlets.

Ten Numbered Smutlets by Resonant

Harry and Severus after Hogwarts. The first story is followed by One Warm Beautiful Thing and Posessions One, Two and Three. These three stories can be read alone, but they’re part of a larger story arc called Lost Feeling. The other stories are RL/SS or RL/SB.
