What are some good Severus Snape x Sirius Black fanfiction stories?

Good fanfiction in this pairing often has well - developed characters. It should stay true to the essence of Snape and Sirius as we know them from the original series. For example, Snape's brooding nature and Sirius's rebellious streak should be there. Also, a strong plot that isn't just about the relationship but has some sort of conflict or mystery to keep the readers engaged.

One popular piece of fanfiction in this category is 'Shadows of the Past'. It delves deep into the complex relationship between Snape and Sirius. The author does a great job of exploring their characters and how they might interact in a different, more intimate context. Another one is 'Unlikely Bonds' which shows their journey from animosity to something more.

I really like 'A Different Perspective'. In this fanfic, it's set post - war. Sirius, who survived the Battle of Hogwarts, and Severus, who has been pardoned, find themselves living in the same wizarding community. The story focuses on how they both have to deal with their past traumas and how they start to interact with each other. They start off avoiding each other but are gradually drawn together by their shared experiences and the realization that they are not so different after all.

One common theme is redemption. Given their rocky pasts full of enmity, many fanfictions explore how they can redeem themselves in each other's eyes. For example, Sirius might realize that Severus wasn't all bad, and Severus might come to terms with the fact that Sirius had his own reasons for his actions. Another theme is friendship against all odds. They are two very different characters, but fanfictions often show how they can form a bond despite their differences. This can be really inspiring as it shows that even the most unlikely pairs can find common ground.

There's 'A New Alliance' which is really interesting. In this fanfiction, a magical threat forces Snape and Sirius to work together. Their interactions are filled with tension at first, but as the story progresses, they start to respect and even care for each other in a way that's very engaging to read.

One common theme is the clash of personalities. Sirius is often seen as more carefree and rebellious, while Severus, even as a female, is likely to be portrayed as more reserved and intellectual. Their relationship in these fanfictions usually starts with some sort of conflict that they have to overcome.

Yes, there are. One I remember had a really creative take on how they met. In this fanfic, the female Severus Snape was a potions expert at a different school and Sirius Black visited there for some inter - school event. Their initial encounter was full of tension and misunderstanding, but as the story progressed, they started to see the good in each other. It was a great read for those who like this pairing.

I really like 'A Different Kind of Rivalry'. It shows a unique take on the relationship between Snape and Sirius. Instead of just focusing on their enmity from the original series, it creates a scenario where they have to work together and gradually start to understand and care for each other. It's a refreshing read.

In fanfiction, Sirius Black and Severus Snape often have complex relationships. Sometimes they are portrayed as rivals, with their past grudges from Hogwarts days still lingering. Their different loyalties, Sirius to James and the Order, and Snape to Dumbledore (while being a former Death Eater), add layers of tension.

Love triangles are also somewhat common in Severus Snape and Sirius Black fanfiction. Sometimes it involves a love interest from the original series, like Lily Evans, and how their feelings for her, both past and present, impact their relationship with each other. It can add a whole new layer of drama and complexity to the story.
