Some popular ones might include those that explore James and Snape's relationship during their school days at Hogwarts. Maybe there are fanfictions where they have to work together on a secret project for the school, which forces them to put aside their differences.
Another one could be 'Snape and James: Reconciliation'. In this story, it might start from a point of deep enmity between them, but through a series of events, they begin to understand each other better. It often has great dialogue that really brings out the essence of both characters.
One good 'Snape Hurts James' fanfiction could be 'The Rivalry's Dark Turn'. In it, Snape uses a powerful spell on James during a duel that leaves James in a weakened state for a while. Another might be 'Snape's Revenge', where Snape gets the upper hand over James in a Quidditch - related incident. And there's also 'Unexpected Confrontation' which shows a more emotional side of Snape hurting James through some harsh words that really cut deep.
There are quite a few. For instance, 'Snape's Secret Heart' is a fanfiction that takes the idea of Snape being gay and runs with it. It might show how he copes with his feelings in a world that may not be as accepting. Fanfiction writers often use this concept to explore different aspects of Snape's character that weren't fully explored in the original books. They can create scenarios where Snape has relationships or crushes on other male characters, adding a whole new layer to his already complex personality.
Well, 'The Severus and Hermione Story' is quite well - known. In this fanfiction, it shows how Snape's initially cold attitude towards Granger slowly thaws as they face various challenges together within the walls of Hogwarts. Then there's 'Hermione's Redemption of Snape'. It focuses on how Hermione, with her intelligence and compassion, tries to make Snape see a different side of life and relationships. There are tons of such fanfictions out there, each with its own take on this interesting pairing.
I'm not sure specifically which ones are the most popular, but you can search on fanfiction platforms like Archive of Our Own or FanFiction.net. Use keywords like 'Snape poisoned' to find relevant stories.
Well, 'A New Understanding' is a fanfiction that I really like. It starts with James realizing that Severus isn't as bad as he thought. It then takes the reader on a journey of them gradually building a friendship. 'Hidden Depths' is also a good one. It focuses on Severus's perspective and how his view of James changes over time. And 'The Road to Reconciliation' is about them working together towards a common goal and in the process, forging a new bond.
You can start by reading a lot of existing fanfictions in the community. This will give you an idea of the common themes, writing styles, and what the readers like. Then, you can begin writing your own story. Make sure to have a unique plot, like maybe a time - travel scenario where James and Snape meet in a different era.
Some fanfictions may also put Sakura in different settings, such as a modern - day AU (alternate universe). In this kind of story, she could be a high - school student with her ninja skills translating into some kind of special ability in the modern world.
One popular type might be those that focus on alternate timelines where James Potter's actions have more negative consequences. For example, fanfictions where his bullying of Snape is explored in greater depth and has a more far - reaching impact on the wizarding world.
Well, 'A Different Sort of Magic' is a great Snape Harry Potter fanfiction. It reimagines the story with Snape playing a more central role in Harry's upbringing. Then there's 'Snape and Harry: The Unlikely Alliance' where they are forced to work together much earlier in the story. 'The Secret Understanding' is also popular as it shows a side of Snape and Harry's relationship that was only hinted at in the books, with them sharing a more profound emotional bond.
