literal works of art

"Dark Chocolate" by FlowDi
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Summary: Snape takes Harry on as a seventh year apprentice...but it isnt what it seems
Why I Rec'd it:
The question not "why did I?", but "why wouldnt I?".I ache for Harry at the end of this. And, with the scene at the beginning, you can't help but want to protect Harry from the fate that has been planned for him. Evil cunning!Slytherins, Naively Idealistic!Harry, and Conniving Sweet Tooth!Snape, all come together in a breathtaking fic that will have you crying "Bring on Part 2!"

"Memoirs Of An Alien Who Fell To Earth" by Dayspring
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Summary: The past written in the present
Why I Rec'd it:
Lionel and Clark in a nutshell--"We're not friends, Lex. We just have a common interest."
"Which is?"
"You."

"Decision" by raison d'etat
Pairing: Leon/D
Summary: Leon finally knows what he wants, and he's going for it -- but does he know what he's getting? WARNING NC-17
Why I Rec'd it:
Pure smut. Well-written smut at that! Leon and D's reactions are beyond funny and you gotta love a sex scene that makes you laugh and fan yourself at the same time

"Gotham Underground" by Dana
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Summary: Lionel threatens Clark; Lex offers protection. Special guest appearances by Bruce Wayne and his trusty manservant. WARNING NC-17
Why I Rec'd it:
Just this right here: "The green bars glowed neon under the bright lighting, but Lex pointedly ignored them, as well. It was indicative of his shock at finding Martha Kent committing an array of felonies that he took the unexpected discovery of his father's hoard in relative stride."

"Psychobabble" by Prufrock
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Summary: Only amateur Psychology is fun.
Why I Rec'd it:
I love Clark's confusion throughout this fic, and Lex' character made me laugh many times

"Contemporary Magical Innovations, by H. Granger" by Kai
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Summary: The difference between History and What Really Happened.
Why I Rec'd it:
This fic is funny and very well written. I absolutly love the idea of Snapes voice being used as a weapon and the Harry/Draco little hot-pink-spiked-butt-plug byplay was too amusing for words.

Beautiful World by Cinnamon
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Summary: Draco is afraid of living and Harry is afraid of dying, but sometimes the choice isn't offered. Draco's got to learn what it is to really live, while showing Harry how beautiful the world really is when you're not too scared to see it.
Why I Rec'd it:
Because I couldn't honestly NOT rec it. I cried at the end of this and the way the author brings you through all Harry's emotions,and Draco's role of savior is just too poignant for words. If you don't read anything else on the page, read this

"Animula" by Shadows-Redrum

Edited Version
NC-17 Version
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Summary (directly from author's page) : This time there is no wizarding world to save Harry from the Dursleys at age eleven. Instead, he's had to endure brutal beatings; both at home and at school. It seems the whole world has turned it's back on Harry. But, finally, after seventeen years of abuse, one dark haired english teacher, Severus Snape, decides to help him. But what happens when their relationship goes a little too far? Will their new found relationship ruin the court case they try to push against Harry's terrible family? Will it get Harry right back where he started; no love and no hope? Read and find out! Warnings AU, lemon, child abuse and mention of neglect, slightly OOC Harry and Sev (considering Sev didn't go through the whole Death Eater thing, understandable. And that Harry has no friends and has been abused for 17 years, another understandable clause).
Why I Rec'd it:
I've been following this fic as its being written (yes its a WIP but its well worth the wait) and I can honestly say that this fic is wonderful. You have a Harry that you can believe and whose stutter makes you want to hug him, a Severus that you can root for and be justified and Dursleys that you simply want to torture with a few good hexes.
