Title: Movie Magic
Author: Likelightinglass
Other pairings/threesome: implied Ginny/Luna
Rating: G
Word count: 9,400
Content/Warning(s): No content warnings apply
Prompter/Prompt: No. 39 from goddess47: Harry introduces Severus to old movies.
Summary: Harry Potter, new Muggle Studies Professor, wants to start a Muggle Movie Night for the students. Headmaster Snape insists on previewing each film beforehand. Movie night becomes movie date night.
A/N: This story takes place in 2019, so while you may not agree with me that every one of these movies qualifies as “old”, they would certainly be old by the Potter children’s standards. This prompt was almost too fun to write, because I had to narrow down about ten different ideas before finally settling on this one. I hope the prompter enjoys this take, although if not, I still might write one of the several other favorite potential versions somewhere down the line. Happy Swap and enjoy!

Title: Be My Voice
Author: Kazhiru
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 59621
Content/Warning(s): Sexual content
Prompter/Prompt: No. 9 from likelightinglass: A classic hurt/comfort with caretaker Harry. Either Snape surviving Nagini, Snape has a rough time in Azkaban and Harry nurses him back to health, or any other idea or AU you can think of. Just kind, caretaker Harry and physically or emotionally hurt Severus. Go wild with the details.
Summary: Severus Snape is left to rot in Azkaban, but that doesn't sit well with Harry at all. It begins with weekly visits, which evolve into tentative camaraderie. Harry may have taken on a task too big for him, but he will be damned if he doesn't see Severus back on his own two feet.
A/N: A slice of life fic, because I love my stories sweet and mundane. Just Harry trying to help Severus cope with his injuries, and Severus trying to learn that not everyone is out to get him. Edited by Halfbloodsev.

Happy birthday, Severus Snape!!! What better way to celebrate our favourite Potions Master's birthday than with the announcement of our fest schedule for the year! ;)

We will be hosting two fests at snape_potter this year: our annual 'anything goes' classic, Snarry-a-Thon, and our winter fest, Secret Snarry Swap, in December.

For those who like to work from wide open prompts, there is Snarry-a-Thon19 and for those who like to warm up with Snarry during the busy end of the year holidays, there is Secret Snarry Swap.

Our 11th annual Snarry-a-Thon is a prompt-based, anything goes fest that will begin posting May 1st.

December's Secret Snarry Swap will close out the year, with details to come closer to sign-ups in August/September.
