Niffle #41 -- and a request

cruentum -- dark R-rated post-war Snape genfic, c.45,000 words.
While I'm here, a request -- that's 41 Niffles from me now, but it strikes me that none of them have been femmeslash, partly because there's very little of it about compared to ordinary slash, het, or even gen. So can anyone recommend really good femmeslash fics that might be worth consideration as a Niffle? The conditions for Niffles mean that the stories have to be publicly accessible, can't be by someone I've ever betaed for/had a fic betaed by, and can't be NC-17 (but R, even hard R, is fine). Otherwise, any pairing, length, or archive is admissible.
That being said, I'd need to find fics that I like, which means that a plot is good, and convincing characterisation even better. (So if you had the ever-popular-for-some-reason Blackcest and/or Hermione/Pansy in mind, it would need to be REALLY well-written to convince me.)
Lyrics: The last one was Queen's Killer Queen from 1974, as known by

lazy_neutrino, and
golden_d. Hmm ... so this next one sprang to mind; although it may or may not be appropriate for this post, this quote does recall some of the current
metafandom discussions!
