I received a wonderful early birthday present recently from someone who doesn't usually move in Snarry circles, and with her permission I thought I should share it with this comm.

Title: HP Slash: Snape and Harry (link to the pic in my journal for the mo)
Artist: emilylikesyou (blank journal, but active DeviantArt)
Rating: PG-13 I guess
Notes: Dearest Emily is a H/D shipper for the most part, and not a Snape fan, but she has loyally read all my fic anyway and offered invaluable advice (and hilarious comments). In return I have written her some H/D (although that's not much of a trial) and vocally adored her art (even less of a trial), and now she has done what I barely dared to dream of, and drawn me some Snarry. Feel free to go to her DA page and tell her how lovely it is, or comment here! Maybe she'll be persuaded to do more...

Title: Tapestry, A Journey in Eight Stages
Author: Rakina
Rating: This chapter PG, possibly rising to R or NC17 later.
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Summary: Harry only has one thing from his parents: a blanket. But his mum and dad were magical, and so it turns out to be no ordinary blanket, after all.
Beta: Thank you so much to quill_lumos for doing a lightning-fast beta on this chapter. You're awesome, Lucie!
Disclaimer: I am not making any money from the characters which belong to JK Rowling. No disrespect intended. I do, however, lay claim to the plot and original characters.
Note: I'm sorry this has been so long coming... I hope you enjoy it now it's here! Oh, and feedback is for lovers.
