~~ calling all in-character H/S fics!

So I subscribe to the V-Inc mailing list, and I get the digest so I skim all the the fics without reading, mostly. But seeing the random millionth reference to Harry confessing to Snape how much he finds his voice oh-so-sexy was just the last straw. I just need to know: Are there any fics out there that don't go in for these cliches? Anywhere? Anyone? Bueller?

In my sudden quest for an I-might-read-this-even-with-no-smut H/S fic, I'm looking for something--

( rather lengthy and unreasonable. )

EDIT - Trying to be reasonable, I'd say minimally:

- Harry doesn't suddenly like/want him;
- He doesn't obsess over Snape's voice;
- Both Snape and Harry remain basically the same;
- No gratuitous sweetness and usage of `Severus' occurs.

- Bonus points for this all not working out and being doomed (no, really??) and Harry -not- deciding to come back and be DADA professor, and instead getting into a nice committed hetero relationship while Snape grows more bitter. Mmmm, realism.

Is this even humanly possible to write? :/ ...I think maybe I'm impossible to please entirely, but an utter lack of "Oh Severus!-- Oh Harry!" and voice-lust would be nice.
    P.S. - heeeeee. Snape/Buckbeak - the perfect Snape pairing :D :D :D

~~ wherein Reena sees the Draco/Hermione light o_0

...I'm procrastinating. (Big surprise.) And I'm traumatizing myself looking up people's lj calendars and seeing just how -many- entries are filtered. Besides my beta-filter, I've only considered using a filter once, to avoid hurt feelings, and I didn't. I mean, I -knew- I wasn't really close friends with these people so they have no reason to trust me (and who -does- have a reason to trust me? it's not like trust uses reasons), but. Heh. Well, now I know, I guess. Anyway.

I'm also enjoying Ri's `Foe Transfiguration', which is a (gasp!) Draco/Hermione fan-comic. She has a fanart site which I'd found awhile ago, and her art-style is just so cute I can't begrudge her anything she wants to draw. And she draws what's probably my favorite Luna-- a great plus, lemme tell you. (Heeeee! Hermione/Luna!!) The comic itself is really great, adorable, it's everything yummy and squeeful that I look for in romantic comedies (one of my most favorite genres).

( And so I was inspired to go on... and on... about pairing preconceptions. )
