Title: Soggiorno (Stay)
Artist: gunxshyed
Gift Recipient: veridari
Rating: G
Media: Graphite on paper.
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *None.*
Summary/Prompt: Hurt/comfort. For Severus Snape, the company of others was always transient, only as long-lasting as his own usefulness. Until, of course, he fell in love with Harry Potter, The Boy Who Stayed.
A/N: A very quiet piece inspired by my favourite moment in Snarry fics, that important first night where, unsure, tentative but painfully in love, Harry (or Severus) spends the night.

Summary/Prompt: Harry is assigned to rebuild Hogwarts, and ends up rebuilding Severus, too.

Gift Recipient: pennswoods
Rating: R
Word count: 5,750
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Language*
Summary/Prompt: Two men and a drink. Prompts: frottage, UST, and pretty much anything.

Title: Hints from Severus
Authors: cruisedirector and dementordelta
Recipient: mokarran
Rating: NC-17
Words: 21,000
Content/Warnings: (highlight for spoilers) *Naughtiness with women's lingerie and marking behavior (but no watersports). Exhibitionism.*
A/N: mokarran is a fan of romance, first-times, and watersports, and wanted both a relationship developed via letters and something revolving around a house/home/family manor/fixer-upper. These were all very inspiring prompts. "Hints from Heloise" is a syndicated 50-year-old household advice column whose general outlines were adapted for the wizard world. Thanks to celandineb for the beta.

Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2,900
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *None*
Summary/Prompt: For a while now, Harry has wanted to be with Severus. As the year slowly comes to an end he finds a way to tell Severus of his feelings. Will they be happy with the way their lives change? -- lilyseyes, the epilogue, naturally, does not exist and apart from your New Year's eve celebration and new relationship scenario I managed to include at least some of your kinks & likes in this. Sorry that there is no porn, but the boys were a bit shy. ;D I hope you like your swap-gift!
A/N: Many thanks to crimson_vipera for beta'ing this even though I sent it to her on short notice!
