shinra_lackeyBecause I am a Snape whore, I will read almost almost any well written Snape fic regardless of pairing, even *gasp* het. So here's a mixed bag of Snape-centric fics to tide people over.
How to Kiss a Death Eater in 5 Easy Steps (humor, one-shot, SS/RL with very vague SS/HP reference) by Snaples

A Day in the Life of Severus Snape by Madam Otaku (one-shot, humor, gen)
How to Kiss a Death Eater in 5 Easy Steps by Snaples (humor, one-shot, very vague SS/HP reference) Snaples portrayal of how to get close to your chosen Death Eater and not come to grievous bodily harm. Funny and charming and straight on Snape characterization with sunny Remus to counterpoint. Read for a giggle or two.
Do not attempt to befriend the Death Eater; this will provoke irreparable damage to the relationship you are trying to craft, and most likely you will lose the opportunity to try again. A nonchalant attitude is critical at this point. I assure you, nothing will bother the discriminating Death Eater more than an indifference to their insults. If you've done it correctly, their curiosity will be piqued. Do not overexcite yourselves! I cannot stress this enough: you need to maintain a cool head. If you do anything to arouse the Death Eater's suspicion, they will rebuke you quicker than you can disapparate the Hell out of there.
Photo Perfect by Predatrix (SS/Gilderoy Lockhart, complete, NC-17) During second year, Gilderoy Lockhart finds a picture of himself in the hands of one of the other professors. Guess who? And the first guess doesn't count. Written for the Severus Snape Fuh-q-Fest. A nice satisfying read that explores a character that I think is underwritten in HP fanfiction as well as having all the snarky Snape goodness you could want.
The Conspiracy of Silence series bynomadicwriter (complete, seven parts) Nomad's series follows Seveus Snape through his Seven years at Hogwarts. What I dub the Double-O-Sevvie series, find out why Severus became a Death Eater, read about Slytherin interactions, and discover truly delightful Severus/Lily interaction. Don't worry, this is not a SS/Lily series.
His uncle had owned a book collection to rival even that of the great library at Hogwarts, and Severus had studiously read his way through it at an age where other boys were still getting used to sounding out their letters. He had paid careful attention to his uncle's many tomes on the Dark Arts; not through any intent to use what he learned, or even through simple curiosity, but because the Dark Arts represented knowledge few had - and Severus Snape prized nothing higher than knowledge.
He remembered little of life with his parents, but his father's words of wisdom to him had stuck in his head. It was wisdom his uncle and others might not have approved of... but to Severus, it made perfect sense.
Never let them see the real you, Sev. Never let them know what you're thinking. There are a lot of people in this world, and you'll find that you're smarter than most of them... but they don't need to know that. Keep it to yourself, Sev. Always play the double game.
And that was how Sev lived. Observing. Calculating. Watching the world around him, and fitting in to it however he chose to do so.
A Day in the Life of Severus Snape by Madam Otaku (one-shot, humor, gen) Just like the title says, a look into the inner workings and experiences of our favorite Potions master. Well written, and witty Snape.

Woke from a fitful sleep. I had the goblin dream again. This time I was actually the banana custard being spooned into the great, toothy maw of the goblin instead of the schoolgirl in pigtails feeding it to him, as I usually am. Hmmm...very interesting. Sometimes I wonder what kind of bleak omens that crackpot Trelawney would interpret from this dream if I ever told her about it. Though, of course, the mere concept of speaking to that woman gives me uncontrollable shivers. It's all I can do to avoid that goggle-eyed twig creature at work; I'm constantly having to scuttle away after catching her staring at me in the hallways and the staff room. She rivets her eyes upon me in an unsettling way that unquestionably means that she's just DYING to tell me how dismal and wretched my future is. Thanks, but no help needed there, Trelawney, so kindly sod off and mind your own damned business.
Got up and performed daily regimen. Filled the tub and soaked for 30 mins. in a solution of 80% scalding tap water, 7% harsh soap (heavy on the lye), 5% tee tree oil, 3% essence of Veela, 2% mungsbane, 1.5% diluted snake pheromone, and .5% Calvin Klein's Obsession for Men. Scrubbed and scoured skin and hair, followed by a mild astringent.
NOTE: this formula has the same effect as all the others. After gazing in the mirror I found that I STILL had all the allure and appearance of a severely depressed, oily herring.
