Title: The Cinnabar Sling, a story from Not Groom Lake
Author: dingochow (on IJ)
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Let's see: AU. Masturbation. Dirty talk. Wall!sex, library!sex, pickup truck!sex, outdoor!sex. Voyeurism. Very mild bondage. Just rather pervy all around. (Also, some attempts at humor.)
Prompt/Summary: ravenna_c_tan wanted a story with a mature, confident Harry, angst along the road to a happy ending, intensity in the smut, and Snape's POV. She also thinks AUs are fun! (so do I …)
Wheee! The above is all verbatim from the header of the story at this year's Snarry Swap, known by its full name as the Snape Potter Daft Day Snarry Swap and now found on IJ.
I came late into the fest, as a pinch hitter, which explains why this isn't a contradiction from my earlier post about how I was burned out on doing fests and how after "Burning Day" how could I ever really top that writing experience? Well, then I saw the call for pinch hitters and...
But you'll have to wait to see the story I wrote, which isn't posted yet, but will be this week, and which is one of my best Snarries ever, I think.
But this post is about how totally fucking awesome the gift I received is. What's nifty is how really appropriate and fitting the story is for me.
I hate spoilers, so most of what I'll do here is gush. First, the writing style is excellent. It's 3rd person, Snape's POV, and is written with very nice narrative flair (read: snark). It's also an intriguing AU, yet not totally AU--you just have to read it to know what I mean by that. Very nice extensions of magical theory in it, too! Ah, I'm such a geek. The sex is wank-worthy, and ... yeah.
In my comment to the story I wrote I thought it should be considered a Snarry classic. So go find it here:
