Okay. You want me to pick my five favorite stories? That's some kind of cruel and unusual punishment. But I'll give it a shot and, since I could easily come up with 5 HP/SS, I'll mix up the pairings.

Here are five a like a really whole lot.

Crucius by Dolores Crane. Harry/Snape. NC-17. When Harry leaves Hogwarts he turns to Snape.

Body of Knowledge by Arsenic. Hermione/Snape. NC-17. Hermione loses Draco. She finds Severus.

Rat's Alley by Fabula Rasa. Sirius/Snape. NC-17. Can't give it away...

The Tao of Diogenes by Treacle Tart. Ron/Snape. NC-17. The war is finally over and two veterans meet again…for the very first time.

Left My Heart by Emma Grant. Harry/Draco. NC-17. Auror Draco Malfoy has disappeared, and Harry Potter has been sent to find him. Brilliant story.

Huh. That was fun.
