Well phooey. I go to all the trouble to have a week's worth of recs and then I don't have time to post them. Grr. I'll post the rest of them today.
Title: The Pandora Incident

Review:
Twenty years after book seven, a recently divorced Harry finally makes his way to Snape's tomb to pay his last respects, only to find that Snape's not quite as dead as everyone had thought. Unfortunately, he's also not in his own body either, though the small wooden box currently housing his soul is rather fetching. Hijinks (and, uh, box sex) ensues.
This story has a lot going for it: sly humor, wacky situations (almost as wacky as the actual books!), fantastic writing. The best part of the fic, however, is the amazing characterization of Snape. Unlike most HP fic, which softens Snape up to socially acceptable levels, this Snape is as sharp and iracible as he was in the books. So what that he's been dead for twenty years and is currently stuck in a box? So what that he's currently at the mercy of Harry Potter, a recent divorcee who really needs to get laid? So what that his entire existence hangs on the combined intellectual efforts of Hermione and (snort) Draco? Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to turn this man fluffy. And somehow that just makes him more lovable. A must-read for any Snape fan.
