[FIC] The Conjugal State - Snape/Filch [NC-17] by Mystery Author.

I'm usually not this amenable to forced-bonding fics. Too easy to me. Half the fun is getting there, y/y? But every now and again, someone puts a new spin on an old trope, and I cave like a kid's sandcastle washed out by a high tide.

On Albus's insistence, Snape agrees to the Juris Vestae, a binding ritual in which Snape is bound to Albus by loyalty. Only things go horribly awry and Snape finds himself married to Filch. Why, you ask? Because Dumbles fucking boo-booed and doesn't own up to his mistake.

Pitch perfect characterisations for both Snape and Filch, and I am oddly amused by Filch's desire to follow the advice of a magical marriage self-help guru, who's somewhat of a June Cleaver-ish extremist, to please Severus. There's plenty of laughs and charming anecdotes, and because the Snape/Filch cache of writers is so small and distinctive, I have an inkling as to the author. Positively loved this!

Great recs! That Snape/Filch is on my list of Beholder recs, too (whenever I get to it). I hate that Beholder is coming to an end. (I have an author guess for that fic, but I've already been wrong twice in my Beholder guesses, so I don't trust myself.)

And the Krum/Snape -- yep, you said it.

I have a similar Snuna recs list in progress. I noticed you recced that incredibly awesome psychedelic art piece. I flailed over that for like an hour the other day. Too much to do and too little hours to the day. Hopefully, I can get the Snuna recs out tomorrow. I don't even really like that pairing, but everything I opened was just brilliant.

HOGOD, and Snape/Viktor? YES, PLEASE. *emphatic nod*

I don't even really like that pairing, but everything I opened was just brilliant.

My experience exactly. I don't like Snape/Luna -- so why have I loved every story I've read in the pairing? /g/ (Admittedly only four so far, but still...pretty high odds).

I've only read two, but they're both in my reccing queue. What four have you read?

I thought there were four, but when I went back to look, it's only three. From last year's exchange, I read Miss Morland's The Importance of Pets and Paintings (http://community.livejournal.com/snuna_exchange/16298.html) and her gift fic As To a Portrait Gently Drawn (http://community.livejournal.com/snuna_exchange/10879.html) (can you tell whose recs I follow? /g/) And in this year's exchange, so far I've read the first story posted -- "To Ride the Rising Sun."

*nod* The Snuna fest is brimming with awesomeness. There are so many amazing works, it's just flail-worthy.
