Title: The Remaking of Harry James Potter
Author: suitesamba
Other pairings/threesome: Past Ginny/Harry; Implied threesome
Rating: Explicit
Words: @27,000
Prompt: Wildcard 1
Summary: When Headmaster Bluebonnet is forced to leave Hogwarts after an engorgement charm goes wrong, Harry Potter, whose marriage has just imploded, is appointed emergency interim headmaster, solving both the problem of the vacancy and the problem of a slightly off-kilter head of the MLE. As his first year draws to a close, he still hates the administrative nightmare of the position, and is counting down the days until he can go back to the MLE. But the Ministry throws another road bump his way in the form of a not-so-dead Severus Snape and his non-magical son. Charged with helping to make Hogwarts safer for Squib students, and working with Hermione to update the curriculum to accommodate their magical limitations, a remade, modern Severus takes both the project and Harry under his capable wing and brings some much-needed change to Hogwarts and its headmaster.

A/N: Many, many thanks to A for helping me along with this monster, and for her timely and helpful feedback. Thanks too to the hard-working mods and to badgerlady for plowing through this story at the last minute so she could have a free Passover/Easter weekend.

Summary: Harry doesn't need a Christmas present. He receives one anyway.
A/N: My first attempt at podfic or voice work of any kind, exciting and scary! I loved reading this story, especially because it threw some real challenges at me. It's intense and close-in on Harry's emotion and experience!

Title: Him
Author: hdwriter
Other pairings/threesome: past Harry/Ginny
Rating: PG-13 (language/suggestion)
Word count: ~6800
Content/Warning(s): Non-magic AU
Prompt: AU: Narcissa Malfoy opens a matchmaking business. Her first client is the very high-profile, very rich, divorced father of three, Harry Potter. He comes with a ton of baggage and is in the closet. Her plans to match him with a quiet gay pillar of society is scuttled by the arrival of an old friend who is a famously queer artist: Severus Snape.
Summary: Narcissa Black Malfoy schemes to set up her old friend Severus Snape, a queer artist, with Harry Potter, a divorced father of three (and famous footballer), despite the fact that Harry hasn't quite come out of the closet yet and Severus has a messy history with Harry's parents.
A/N: I took a few liberties with Narcissa's original plans (there's no 'quiet, gay pillar of society'), but I hope this works, regardless. I had fun with the AU-ness and the overall idea. I enjoyed the prompt, though my focus might have been a bit different than you'd first suggested, Prompter. Hopefully, it will still do. :) Also, I greatly appreciate Badgerlady's help with the beta work and edits -- you and Torino are the best!

Title: Goblin Market
Author: drawlight
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 20,210
Content/Warning(s): None.
Prompt: 70: Labyrinth AU. On the brink of death, Severus Snape is trapped in an odd maze with Harry as the Goblin King. What's waiting for him in the centre? Will he ever reach it?
Summary: The Horcrux is slowly poisoning Harry, whose mind has curled around it in a way to protect it from being dislodged. Severus Snape, resentfully accomplished Legilimens, must navigate the labyrinth of Harry's mind and pull out the infection at the center.
A/N: To my influences as always. Christina Rossetti and The National. To David Bowie, to the old Greeks. And Jeanette Winterson, who taught me pleasure in words. The Passion has directly inspired several scenes in here, including the characterization of Voldemort as the rat-eater, and I must note that the final line is a direct quote from the same book.

Title: Over the Rainbow
Author: lyraonyx
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: explicit
Word count: 53K
Content/Warning(s): Suicide attempt, depression recovery, permanent disability.
Prompt: Severus attempts suicide. Harry stops him.
Summary: Harry rescues Severus from the shack, but not before Nagini's venom changes his life forever. With his legs paralysed and one arm forever weakened, Severus has lost his livelihood and his will to go on. But just when he thought his life was over, Harry rushes in like a hurricane and won't be pushed aside.
A/N: While I’m not paralysed, chronic disability and illness is something I’ve lived with my entire life. This story is close to my heart, for sure. Also, this is emotional, sweet Snarry. Soft and fluffy despite the intense topic. There will NOT be a lot of clashing tempers here or hardcore grit. In this AU, Severus never truly hated Harry at all.

Word count: 4130

Rating: NC-17
Word count: 14K
Content/Warning(s): Mild D/s
Prompt: No. 23 Power!kink. Severus has a thing for powerful men - not the usual sort, mind. He could care less who the Headmaster of Hogwarts is, or the Minister, for that matter. But powerful magic is another thing entirely. And Harry Potter has it in spades.
Summary: When Snape meets Potter a few years after the war, he is surprised to see that the little brat has come to be a strapping young lad with the muscles of an Auror and a command over his magical powers that makes Snape want to fall to his knees and worship him.

That is until Severus Snape shows up on his doorstep and announces he is there to pose as Harry's betrothed and save Harry from his hordes of rabid admirers.

Don't hold back. All kinds of prompts are welcome - happy prompts, dark prompts, silly prompts, kinky prompts, fluffy prompts, romantic prompts, art prompts, prompts set in the past, present, or future, prompts from any universe, both unique ideas and beloved fandom tropes....We welcome any flavour of Snarry. Let your fantasies run wild! Submitting prompts doesn't commit you to anything.

Each person may leave up to TEN prompts but please, no more. And because we will be posting prompts inside a text box, we ask people please try to limit your prompts to no more than two or three sentences. We would like to reiterate that Snarry-a-Thon is not an exchange and personal preferences like who tops or side-pairings not essential to the spirit of the prompt may be edited from the final prompt. Last year's prompt table is here if you'd like to get a better idea what your prompt will look like in its final form.

Prompting is open until 11:59 pm (EST) on February 13. The complete list of all prompts will be posted at 12 pm (EST) on February 14. Comments will be temporarily disabled to give everyone a chance to read over the entire list of prompts and decide which prompt they would like to claim. On Friday, February 15, at 11 am (EST), comments will be enabled on the post and claiming of prompts will begin.
