A list of Severus/Harry fics featuring Occlumency version 1.0 for painless_j
I thought I would start working on compiling such a list since Occlumency is one of my favorite themes and since painless_j doesn't have time at the moment : it's for you, dear. Please spread the word and give me more fics and LJ names of the authors:)
