Personal favorites, part 5: Romance - Harry/slash
Well, title says it all: this part is for romance-fics where Harry is in a slash-relationship. Nearly all of those will be Harry/Snape as this is the one slash-pairing that I primarily read, interspersed with some Harry/Draco.
This one is a lot harder to compile, partly because this is the pairing I started reading HP-fiction with and back then I didn't save a great many links in my favorites, partly because there are just so many good Snarry-stories and partly because a great many of those Snarry-stories are fluffy one-shots.
Why do I use Harry/Snape sometimes and at other times Harry/Severus? I'm trying to use the former if Harry is still Snape's student and the latter if their meetings are more meetings of equals (Harry in the past meeting a younger Severus, Snape de-aged, Harry an adult who has graduated from Hogwarts.)

My other lists.
As so many of the Harry/Snape-stories I liked when I first read them are One-shots, it's rather hard to list all of them. So this list certainly doesn't contain every Snarry I ever read and liked.
