Checking up on Lily/Severus fics in the Black Hole of Fanficiton

[lavivi]

Am doing something I haven't done in a while, and searching fanfictionDOTnet for Lily/Severus stories.  Last time I was regularly checking, they were getting so consistently bad it was depressing.  But there are occasional hidden jewels, such as There Is No Such Place and Dark Side of the Moon, so I'll keep running the search for now.

Found a

babb_chronicles-worthy line:

[Bad username or unknown identity: She shielded the baby with her body as Voldemort slithered into the room.]

[Bad username or unknown identity: .  Indeed.]

[Unknown site tag] 

Now here's a story where Severus likes to call Lily every botanical name in existence, and only uses "Lily" when he's angry.  But Rose is the default.

Severus yawned and glanced lazily at the back of Rose’s head (she was resting her head on her wrist, apparently still committed to figuring out what was that idiotic potion was, though Severus gave up after ten minutes of reading and decided to work on his Herbology homework.) Severus sat there forgetting his homework and concentrated on studying his Rose instead. He admired her past shoulder-length auburn hair and was hypnotized by the ends rising and falling with Rose’s breathing pattern. Rose turned around suddenly, facing him.

"Don’t know, Mistletoe, I’ll have to tell her sometime soon." Mistletoe leaned forward and Severus met her halfway.

Tongues rubbing against each other, massaging.

...

Ew.
