Read the following note first, please.
When I first issued a challenge, I had more spare time and less themed lists on my hands, so I promised a themed list to everybody who answered the challenge. Now I have twice more work and 46 lists, a third of which is from two to [gulp] seven (! MPreg) LJ posts long. They are a hell to maintain. I can't make any more lists, even as a reward for a fic I loved. So instead I promise to make a five-rec selection on a requested theme to anybody who writes a fic that answers one of the following challenges.
All the challenges are on-going. It means that it's still not late to jump on the bandwagon.
So many delightful, wonderful fics, aww! Guys, honestly, it's a treasure trove. Have a look. Or better yet, write :)

NC-17, ~13,000 word one-shot where a subtle and persistent Snape pursues Harry at the end of Harry's seventh year. I know that summary is entirely too informative, but I was just trying to make it happen during a normal school year with no major tragedies or anything.
