I've actually been looking for the story neunrute mentioned, because I thought they'd pulled it from FF.net. In fact, the only place I've found it (and it as archived in quite a few back when it was first written) was on House Rivalry (which as I've said is down for maintenance and complete revamp - actually, I just checked if they moved to their old address, hr.nearheralways.com, but they haven't). That being said... ...I did see mention of the author as Kaz814 once as opposed to just Kaz... and I found it! Yay! Here, for your enjoyment ( and mine, since I've never read this one, so I'll edit in #s if needed), is the fic. [glow=red,2,300]Kaz814:[/glow]www.fanfiction.net/u/431855/[glow=red,2,300]"You're My World"[/glow][glow=blue,2,300] #[/glow]http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1662002/1/
Sometimes you don't see what's right in front of you until it's gone. Ginny WeasleySeverus SnapeThis was really quite a sweet fic (without being saccharine). The best thing about this find? I checked a couple of the reviewers, and there are a couple of GWSS stories among those authors. I'll get back to you with those.  |

[glow=red,2,300]DRUMROLL[/glow] please! So... remember back in my first rec I mentioned I've been looking for nortylaK's "Beneath The Hate"? The story, much like Kaz814's "You're My World" is that it had seemingly dissapeared from everywhere but House Rivalry (although it turns out Kaz's fic was also at Sycophant Hex), and we can't access that site at the moment. The prequel, "Venomous Love", is still on FF.net, however (which is where the original rec I found on the SCUSA thread pointed me to). So I thought, Why is the prequel still up if the fic itself has seemingly been removed from anywhere anyone might see it? It's been a bit of a mission of mine to find it. I got to the point where I was about to contact the author (which I've been hesitant to do because of the 'duh!' factor if it turns out it was under our noses all along... ;DGuess what I found? Under our noses? ;D That's right![glow=red,2,300] I know where it is![/glow] ...however... ::)I'm not giving it up until I get a high-five.  (And I also want to rate it before I rec it. I've got a nice little list accumulating to post as well, but you ain't gettin' nothin' until I hear a peep.) (spiders, d'you think holding rec's hostage will get someone other than you and me posting?  ) |

I know. I'm a meanie! ;D Did you see we have a new member? Two, I think, since you've posted. Yay! Here it is, the much anticipated... [glow=red,2,300]nortylaK[/glow]www.fanfiction.net/~nortylaKprequel:[glow=red,2,300] "Venomous Love"[/glow] ##muses.amiss.org/vlove.html[glow=red,2,300]"Beneath The Hate" [/glow]##
muses.amiss.org/restricted.htmlPG-13. Severus/Ginny, Remus/Sirius, Draco/Harry, Ron/Hermione. I haven't finished reading it, but it is really quite charming!There were a couple of lines than made me grind my teeth, but they were minor. It's well worth reading. Actually, one of my favourite moments was the H/D interaction. beginning of a re-write (1st chapter only) discontinued:[glow=red,2,300] "The Potions Master"[/glow]http://muses.amiss.org/part1.html Do not read unless you've finished Beneath the Hate. |

Did you see we have a new member? Two, I think, since you've posted. Yay! Yes, just because I don't post very often doesn't mean I am not a daily lurker, I just don't have as many fics to recomend as you, I have read alot of them but haven't kept as good as records.  I am trying to be less of a lurker though. I see today that we are up to 9 members!! that is awesomeness. |

Um... It's not so much keeping records as going around obsessively looking for fics featuring this ship... And the new members - I know! It's it exciting? |

Today's recommendations are brought to you from the bowels of FF.net! Seriously... there are some quite awful ones in the offing. But that's for a later post. What I have for you now, sweetpeas, is an extract. Are we allowed extracts? Who cares... I am not recommending you read this fic. It's a parody, but not very funny beyond the first chapter. The author doesn't like Gineverus stories, and the pair are only really in the first chapter. The reason I'm presenting the extract to you is that, well, I'm in a pithy mood, and it actually highlights one of the things I dislike most in Gineverus fics, namely, sudden declarations of love without so much as a passing nod to, oh, say, anything at all to do with the characters and who they are. Or for the situation. Or for any kind of motivation - and no, sudden declarations of love are not sufficient motivation. [glow=red,2,300]Extract from Penguingirl266's "What Really Happens":[/glow] www.fanfiction.net/s/1861407/1/Ginny had just finished her last class of the day, Transfiguration, and was now hurrying along the corridor to the Great Hall, because that’s where the food was, and she was hungry. However, her plans were soon changed. Snape came bolting up from the dungeons, red-faced and panting. He grabbed Ginny and pinned her to the wall.
“Professor, what-“
“Ginny! I was in my office when I discovered that, no matter how much I berate you and Gryffindor, I am madly in love with you, although I am 34 years your senior.” And with that, he kissed her deeply.
“Professor!” He stopped kissing her. “Actually, Professor, I have just realized, although I have hated you for the past 5 books, I am also deeply in love with you. Forget all the stuff J.K. Rowling wrote about Gryffindors hating Snape. She should have something better to do with her time!” They resumed kissing, which turned to very passionate kissing. The students heading to dinner stared, but Ginny and Snape took no notice.
“Ginny, will you marry me?” said Snape, giving her a ring with a diamond the size of a baseball.
“Sure! How about tomorrow?” They resumed kissing. Then who should happen upon them but Harry, Ron, and Hermione! (Figures! says the reader. They always show up!)
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GINNY???” screamed Ron, throwing himself at the couple and sending himself, Snape, and Ginny crashing to the floor. Harry just stared.
“But...” whispered Hermione, her eyes filling with tears. “I...I thought we were going out, Severus!”
“We broke up, Hermione,” said Snape sheepishly, getting up off the floor. “I’m way too old for you, anyway. You should marry Ron, J. K. Rowling has been hinting around about it long enough as it is.”
“Nooooooo!!!!” cried Hermione. “Ron is too obvious! We need to shock the world!” Well I laughed. Was quite bemused by the scene, in fact. 'Til later. |

Um... I've got a list. I'll format and post in soon, I promise. Meanwhile, I'm looking for this:
The Lightning Whispers by RaveNClaWGeniuS: Ginny fell pregnant only moments after her graduation. But when Snape had the choice of her and her child or leading a normal life, he chose to walk and now eleven years later their daughter goes to Hogwarts and he fights for her trust again. GWSS
It's one of the fics on the fanfiction pages at Amortentia proper, but the fic looks to have been taken down. I've already PM'd the author to ask about it, but if anyone knows where else I might be able to read it, that would be great.
'Ta.

ptyx wrote a Gineverus story! yaaay! [glow=red,2,300]Ptyx:[/glow]ptyx.livejournal.com[glow=red,2,300] "The Spice of Life"[/glow] ##ptyx.livejournal.com/436204.htmlAgainst all odds, Snape won the girl. But now Harry is back...Go and read it - it's not often we find a well-written fic featuring the pair, and this one's got some lovely nuances to it. Read through the comments too - karasu_hime posted some lovely fanart to go with the story.
