Disclaimer: Not my characters. I just play nicer with them. And happy endings are my idiom. So say the mods. *g*

Warnings: None but some heavy angst.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. The characters and their worlds belong to their original writers and no copyright infringement or offense is intended. No money was made from this story.
Summary: “And to think he had almost thrown it into the forest...”
A/N: Thank you to roozetter for beta-reading and hand holding when I couldn’t get a solid idea in my head. I literally only finished this fic a day ago (privileges of being a mod), and I’m glad I was finally able to sort the little plot. I’ll also add that one thing I did like in DH was Rowling’s use of this verse on James and Lily’s headstones. I always thought it was fitting, and thanks again to Roo for recommending it for the title.

Title: Final Battle Day
Author: roozetter
Rating: PG
Pairing(s): Severus/Harry
Word Count: 6,070
Warnings: War, angst, repetition.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. The characters and their worlds belong to their original writers and no copyright infringement or offense is intended. No money was made from this story.
A/N: Written for the Reviving Severus fest for severus_sighs. Also, the title comes from the fact that I shamelessly ripped the idea of reliving the day over and over again from the movie Groundhog Day. Only Severus is less entertaining than Bill Murray. Ed snow: Yes, but Severus is far sexier (unless you count that scene in Ghostbusters when Bill is trying to reason with Zuul, which I don't). Many thanks to atypicalsnowman and faeryqueen for the beta! xoxo
Summary/Snippet: Severus vividly remembers having his throat ripped out by Nagini. This memory becomes frequently less pleasant the more he has to relive it.

Title: in medias res
Author: abrae
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Rating: R
Word Count: 10,699
Warnings: None
Summary: Potter was in the corridor with Minerva that night – and Snape knew it.
A/N: Canon quotes from DH, GoF, and OotP. No Deathly Hallows were harmed in the making of this story, because I got rid of them altogether. Many heartfelt thanks to suitesamba for her fine-toothed beta, and to gingertart50 for her generous Brit-pick. Harry Potter, Severus Snape, and the Wizarding world at large belong to JKR, et.al.; I just brought them out to live a little. Literally.

Title: Snakes & Ladders: When Minions Scheme
Rating: G
Pairing(s): None!
Word Count: ~2500
Warnings: Character death but not *that* one
Summary/Snippet: Killing Albus catapulted Snape up the ladder to being Voldemort’s right hand man- ahead of other loyal followers. But the Dark Lord’s favourite is a tenuous position and for every ladder up, there’s snake to bring you down. This is what happens when minions scheme.
A/N: Thank you to sighing_selkie for being my last minute beta and doing such a quick job! You’re a procrastinator’s dream!  I chose to make some of her suggestions but not all so yeah, those remaining zingers are all mine. She also helped me come up with the name! Yay!

Title: How National Geographic Saved Severus Snape
Author: suitesamba
Rating: R (for language and insinuation)
Warnings: Violent decapitation of a snake, mild Lord of the Flies behavior in Neville Longbottom, one or two “F” bombs, chan (Harry bestows his first kiss on Severus at 17).
Word count: 1802
Summary: Severus always thought the snake would be his downfall so, knowing the killing habits of giant venomous serpents, put certain protections in place. Harry, ever the hero, arrives at just the right time to perform a vital service.
A/N: My first beta (who may or may not be one of the moderators of this site) did not understand my reference to National Geographic magazine. She obviously grew up in the age of the internet when children did not have to resort to the photo spreads in this stellar magazine for pictures of naked people. I had someone of a more advanced age (49) read it and she immediately got it. I then polled the guys in my office and only two (aged 25 and 30) did not understand why one would titter over a NG magazine. So this one is for you oldsters out there. Enjoy!

Pairing: Pre Severus/Harry if you squint.
Rating: PG for language
Word Count/ Art: I have no idea what the heck to call this. Drabble, Art, and a bunch of paint and baking.
Warnings: Purely Crack, torture?

Summary: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
A/N: Written for the Revival fest at severus_sighs. I have no idea what to say about this except I think I was on poor kids crack when this idea came about. That and I was sleep deprived from working with drama queen characters that just wouldn't work with me half the time. So, I apologize for all the disturbing images you’re about to witness. As usual, I’m giving all my thanks to the Grinch roozetter for her beta work. I lurve you, doll!
