Secret Snarry Swap: FIC: A Universe of Searching Souls  
Title: A Universe of Searching Souls
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] writcraft
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~9,100
Content/Warning(s): Soulmates – Identifying Marks, Soul Bond, Soulmates, Romance, First Times, Anal Fingering, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs
Prompter/Prompt: Prompt 7 from [info]alpharoyal2: Just after the end of the war Harry realises that he and Severus shares a soul bond. Snape is still cold and hostile towards him so Harry decides to 'make him realise' by wooing him, deliberately not telling him about the bond as not to pressure him into a decision. Of course Snape's insecurities get it in the way and angst ensues....
Summary: When the small, innocuous mark on Harry’s hip begins to cause him discomfort, he decides to go and visit the person who has a similar mark of their own. He’s fairly certain there must be some mistake, because the universe wouldn’t be daft enough to give Harry and Severus matching soul bond marks. Would it?
A/N: To the prompter, I hope you enjoy your gift. Thank you for this marvellous prompt. A very happy holidays to you. To the always amazing mods at Snape Potter, as ever, thank you for patience, putting on a brilliant fest and being all-round wonderful.

When a new threat looms, how will Severus handle having to work with the man who still fueled his passions?
