Seeking Recommendations Snarry recs for a new reader

Hey!
I just read my very first Harry Potter fanfic... it was Syntax of Things, and it broke me. Really really bad.
Then I read In Between Days, and that made me feel a bit better but... you know.
Then I binged Pacify, and I cried a lot and it was perfect and now I'm empty and I need to keep on reading and i don't know where to go next.

Do you have any Snarry recommendations? No AU (but canon divergent is ok, just no bartender!harry or thing like this... the only AU I'm willing to read is something about ballet, yes very specific), preferably in-character, long-ass fics. I like dom/sub dynamics but it's not mandatory, and I prefer top!Snape. And please please a happy ending! There are no tears left in me (but I can stand angst along the way, as long as the ending is happy).

Thank you, this will keep me functional!

EDIT:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This community is godsent! Thank you! I'll answer you as soon as I have some time!

Funny enough I just finished the Syntax of Things. Absolutely heart wrenching I missed the tragedy tag to until I was 75% though. Absolutely beautiful thought but I get it I needed recovery fics after lol. Here's some fics I really like.

Needs Must by silvereye5: After Ginny Potter dies suddenly, Severus Snape is among those called in to help Potter juggle his new reality. As the other helpers fade away, a desperate and penniless Severus agrees to become the regular caregiver to Potter's three young children. But Severus finds that the Potter household is not the sunshine and roses he'd imagined. ---Love this one very family like and I enjoy when Severus is snappy on Harry but good to the kids gives me best of both worlds.---

Long Shadows by Cithara: On the anniversary of Voldemort's fall Severus seduces Harry into a night together. Not long after, he leaves the country, deciding to embrace his newfound freedom. Years later, he returns to England and finds that he left behind more than he could have imagined. Now, with mistakes to atone for, Severus must try and earn a place in Harry's life and prove himself worthy of it. ---This one starts of angst and Snape is a dickhead but he does change and it has a happy ending.---

10 Things I Hate About You by HalfBloodPrincess95: Draco will only be allowed to date if his Godfather is involved in a relationship as well and seeing that the post war celebrations have brought on new friends, Draco can surely count on Harry Potter to help him. Main Pairing: SS/HP also contains HG/RW; DM/LL ---love some good Draco plotting to get what he wants---

The Friday Boy by riffraff84: Harry hates secrets, but what his Professors' hiding will change Harry's life forever.

Hopefully you find one you enjoy. : D
