smutty_claus comes up trumps!
Normally, most of the pairings atsmutty_claus don't compel me; they usually focus on Trio-era teens. But today, we got a Severus Snape/Poppy Pomfrey fic -- and an excellent one at that.

flaminia_x (Severus Snape/Poppy Pomfrey; NC-17)
I've always enjoyed this pairing -- two sharp, unsentimental, highly-professional people who care deeply about all sorts of things. This fic uses an effective interweaving of past and present to show us the believable growth of a strong relationship between them. And there's hot, character-driven sex, too. (Well, it is Smutty_Claus, after all /g/).

To Give is To Receive byAnonymous shadowycat (Severus Snape/Minerva McGonagall; PG)
A wickedly arch title for a wickedly arch art. Severus gives Minerva a Christmas gift, and their mutually-expressive eyebrows tell you all you need to know about each character's opinion of the present.
Reflections in Liquid byAnonymous cabepfir (Minerva McGonagall, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn; G)
A superb illustration for an equally superb story. Each character is epitomized by his/her drink. Everyone's expressions and hands are wonderfully revealing.

Look at Me byAnonymous john_n_mary (Severus Snape/Lily Evans; R)
A beautifully-rendered nightmare fantasy. Intricate and compelling, it's one of those works where you keep seeing new things every time you look.
