byssheAuthor’s summary: This scene popped into my head when it occurred to me that I only seem to see dirty talk in fic when the characters decide to talk dirty, rather than the natural sort of rambling that I think often occurs without conscious decision--which doesn't always make sense and sometimes seems stupid and embarrassing when the heat of the moment has passed.
Length: 680 words
Reviewer: Gaycrow
"Sweet Nothings" is an extremely sexy ficlet. It's told from Harry’s point of view, and we get to experience his feelings as Snape performs a very familiar task in bed. The two have apparently been together for a long time, and know what the other likes. Some years also appear to have passed since Harry was a student at Hogwarts, as we see Harry looking down at Snape’s limp grey-streaked hair , but this in no way affects either man’s performance.
Bysshe has given us some good, strong writing here. It’s red-hot - I was almost as breathless as Harry and Severus. A couple of quibbles - I'm not all that keen on the nickname Sev, or Harry's use of the word “baby”. I really can’t see the latter happening, but if I ignore that, I’d have to say this is one of the best PWPs I've read, with the two of them not just having sex, but perhaps more accurately, making love; and NOT in a sweetly sappy way ...

Rating PG, no warnings
Summary: After the war, Harry is hit by a stray love curse.
This one is a keeper. Like the same writer's Shame The Devil the writing style is deceptively simple. The tone is understated. And the lines she gives Snape, in particular, are just wonderful.
witling is such a fine writer that she doesn't need to impress us with any tricks: she lays out her tale in a way that flows beautifully, with moments of humor, wit, and compassion that just gleam. Both of her stories are meditations on love. And
witling is gently amused by the very notion of romantic love, I can tell. In these stories, love is inconvenient. Harry or Snape might wish they could avoid it, and yet they must come to terms with it as best they can. This is an almost classical view of love: as a form of little madness, sent to us unwanted. Played in a minor key of Snape/Harry. Lovely.
