Title: I Will Always Seek You Out

Other pairings/threesome:
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,740
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Mpreg, forced bonding*
Prompt: From eriador117: Harry and friends are back at Hogwarts for 8th year. Severus is re-instated headmaster. Harry has been ill for a while and when he goes to Madam Pomfrey he discovers he's pregnant. It's impossible, he's never had sex. Because Snape is headmaster, he knows this as the castle alerts the headmaster when students lose their virginity or something like that. But when he intervenes, everyone thinks Snape is lying and that he's the father and has taken advantage of Harry.
Summary: Harry Potter finds himself in a very bizarre circumstance. He's never done anything besides kiss, so how did this happen? To make matters even more bizarre, people are blaming Snape.
A/N: I want to thank the wonderful mods for hosting this.

Title: The Holly King Cometh
Author: sassy_cat
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~7100
Content/Warning(s): none
Prompt: While patrolling the dungeons, Snape overhears Draco Malfoy expressing his intentions to court Harry Potter. Without fully comprehending why, he decides to keep an eye on both Malfoy and Potter. Perhaps it's jealousy because he's been festering feelings for the hero for far too long (or he's just realising he might have feelings for him as he goes along in his investigations), or concern over the purity of Malfoy's intentions, or because he really just can't keep his greasy nose out of other people's business. Whatever the case, he's making sure that those two aren't............up to something.
Summary: Back at Hogwarts for eighth year, Harry and Draco finally find something in common. Each does what he can to revive a very ill Severus Snape, but what happens when no one remembers to tell Severus the plan?
A/N: xenadragon_xoxo, I hope that you enjoy this and have a lovely holiday season. Many thanks to my beta for protecting all of you from my bad grammar and to the snape_potter mods for continuing to run the fest!

Rating: PG-13 (mostly suggestion)
Word count: not quite 6000
Content/Warning(s): None
Prompt: #15: Harry has lost a bet, and he'll have to go to a matchmaker as penalty…
Summary: Harry's had his eye on someone for a while now, but he's kept his feelings secret from even his closest friends – who think he needs help. When he's set up to lose a silly bet, Harry must go and see Lavender, a Matchmaker, as penalty. Lavender wants to use Harry's fame to promote her business, but she also promises Harry will be happy with the results…
A/N: I always enjoy reading matchmaker-type fics, so this was my first choice. Severus is more sneaky than powerful, but hopefully that's close enough. I had fun writing this, and I hope it makes you smile, maris35! (Thanks, as usual, to the wonderful nenne for her Beta and Brit-pick help.)

Title: Begin the World All Over Again
Author: goddess47
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 10,500
Content/Warning(s): None
Prompt: From suitesamba: After the war, with the Horcrux in Harry gone, Harry finds that his magic is affected by the loss of the Horcrux. Apparently, he had to work harder to learn light/positive spells (like healing, repairing, Patronus, etc) to counteract the effects of the Horcrux, and now, without the negative effect of the Horcrux, these spells are extremely powerful. Back at Hogwarts studying for his N.E.W.T.s, he realizes that these spells are more tempered when Snape is around.
Summary: Having growing problems with his magic, Harry goes back to Hogwarts in search of answers. When Severus Snape turns out to be part of the answer, Harry is both intrigued and confused.
A/N: I turned your prompt around a bit, but hope you like it anyway!

Title: The Last Horcrux
Author: centaury_squill
Other pairings/threesome: past Severus/Regulus
Rating: PG
Word count: 9,350
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Pre-slash*
Prompt: #42 from avioleta: A wartime story: Dumbledore is dead, Snape is alive, and the war has lasted well beyond the Battle of Hogwarts. Members of the Order and refugees are all holed up in Grimmauld Place, searching for a way to end the fighting for good. Something they encounter in the house points to Snape’s past (a relationship with Regulus Black, perhaps?), and Harry inexplicably finds himself jealous. He’s never thought of Snape as anything more than a hated professor, but now he can’t seem to get him out of his head. Their relationship develops slowly, but heatedly. They try to keep it a secret, but that proves impossible in such close quarters. Will such a scandalous distraction hinder the war effort? Or is it just the motivation they need to finally defeat Voldemort?
Summary: Voldemort's survival can only mean one thing – but what's to be done about it?
A/N: This deviated a bit from the prompt in places, but I hope you like it anyway! Also, my death toll is slightly different to JKR's.

Summary: See prompt.
A/N: I have always been drawn to post-canon (EWE?!!!) stories and saw this as an opportunity to bring an older Harry closer to Severus through a mischievous avian go-between.... I hope that you like it, centaury_squill! Best wishes.
