SNARRY-A-THON12: FIC and ART: Seeking Familiar Approval  
Title: Seeking Familiar Approval
Author: Laverne [info]suitesamba
Artist: Shirley [info]veridari
Rating: R
Word count: 5,594
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Humor, romance, acts of animal aggression*
Prompt: Technically a wild card, but the story was inspired by a plot bunny and a drawing the artist (Shirley) made a couple years ago, dusted off and shared with the writer (Laverne). Schlemiel, schlemazel, Hasenfeffer Incorporated!
Summary: Harry has a new boyfriend but Harry’s Familiar isn’t too fond of him. To what lengths will Severus go as he seeks Familiar approval?
A/N: Thanks to L, who agreed to beta this at the last minute. Hugs, kisses and manly back slaps to the magnificent moderators, the talented proofreader and especially to Hedwig, who, of course, did not die after all but flew away from the chaos back to Hogwarts where she was waiting for Harry when he returned the next May.

SNARRY-A-THON12: FIC: That Which Makes Us Weep  
Title: That Which Makes Us Weep
Author: [info]roozetter
Other pairings/threesome: Past Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Dean, random next-gen pairings
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 19,224
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Minor character death, natural causes*
Prompt: Wild Card #2, which turned into -- #15: Epilogue-compliant except for the presumption Snape is dead: They don't get together until Harry is divorced and has grandkids, so there's no tight jeans or smooth skin in sight. Just wrinkles and cardigans and gray hair and adorable old dudes in love. Bonus points for Snape pulling off snarky sappiness in his old age.
Summary: After the war the Wizarding World looks to Harry to give them hope. So he does. And Love, Joy, Grief, Understanding, Pain, Courage, and Strength. He makes his living giving pieces of his emotions to the world and is happy to do so, in fact. Until Severus Snape contacts him one day and asks for Redemption.
A/N: Title from the quote: “Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with a real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep” ~ Clive Barker. Also - Harry is sixty-three in this story, and Severus is eighty-three. I hate doing math, so thought I would save all the readers the trouble of figuring that out. You’re welcome.

SNARRY-A-THON12: ART: Rapture  
Title: Rapture
Artist: [info]luinie
Rating: PG
Media: Photoshop
Content/Warning(s): None
Prompt: Art for a favorite fic
Summary: Illustrations for Rapture by [info]mia_ugly. A pocket watch from Dumbledore takes Harry back to various stages of Snape's life to get him to know the man, but would not let any of Harry's efforts to change the course of Snape's fate come to pass. Can he find a way..?
A/N: Many thanks to our hard working and generous mods for putting up with my extreme tardiness. This is dedicated to [info]mia_ugly, whose beautiful, not-ending love story is one of the best Snarrys ever, and a wonderful cure for the grievous Post Deathly Hallows Stress Disorder. (the tea, very warm).
