Hump Day Fic Recs!

To Ev'ry Wandering Bark, A Star - Snape/Percy [R] by Mystery Author.
I immediately clicked on this because, I love a well-written Snape/Percy fic. Though, upon seeing the word count, I was more than a little disappointed. A PWP, I thought? Meh. I require a bit of backstory when it comes to rarepairs.
However, and this is a huge however, this story required no more than the 1,100 words the author wrote. Snape and Percy really do compliment one another beautifully here, too, both physically and metaphysically.
I must laud the author's ingenious style. It's imaginative and inspired. Two side-by-side first person POVs that work collectively. Admittedly, this style is not going to be to everyone's tastes, but in my opinion, it's definitely worth the time investment. It takes real skill to produce such tight, well-characterised writing.

I read this about two months ago, and I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to rec this. Now seemed a fitting time.
I had the pleasure of meeting Joan last summer at Terminus, and she's one of the nicest fandomers out there. Her Snarries are sublime, and she plays extraordinarily well at team captain. In, short, I'm very pleased to be reccing this.
I've had many conversations with people on the minutiae of D/s relationships. The idea that a socially demanding individual could shed their dominant persona in the bedroom eludes them. Here, Snape does just that, falling consensually and convincingly under Bill's command. And you know -- Snape dropping to his knees is just a beautiful thing.
The story's well paced. The attraction builds gradually as Snape watches Bill mature from boy to man. Much to Joan's credit, nothing happens between them until Bill's left Hogwarts. Snape furtively leaves Bill with an offer to rendezvous, somewhat convinced that Bill sees him as nothing more than a passing fancy. But when Bill makes good on his promise, the two enter into a mutually beneficial relationship that's both intense and loving.
Another thing that I really enjoyed about this fic was Snape's sexual discovery. His submissive tendencies were not indulgent whims rather they were well-developed and natural progressions expressed through sexual encounters with trusted guides. I highly recommend this to any Snape fan, even those who prefer Snape to top. The subject matter is handled expertly and maturely.
BTW -- I'm looking for Snape/Charlie recs. If you have any, please link me. Just no PWPs, please.
Enjoy all :-)
