Title: A Bit of Christmas Cheer
Author: suitesamba
Word Count: about 7700
Rating: NC-17
Content/Warnings: Accidental voyeurism, a tiny bit of potion-induced non-con physical contact
Pairings: Harry/Severus, past canon Harry/Ginny, other canon & non-canon next gen relationships
Prompter/Prompt: No. 31 from likelightinglass: Domestic life of middle aged to old age Severus and Harry. I prefer fluff and humor but honestly anything that explores a long-term established relationship with the two of them, with Harry at least in his late 30s, but preferably older. I'm totally fine with epilogue compliant fics with Harry's canon children with Ginny.
Summary: Retired Harry and Severus try to keep their age-induced missteps under wraps so the children leave them be. But a special Christmas potion gone awry threatens to upset the apple cart.
A/N: Thanks to my beta, my proofreader and the mods. You know who you are. You’re all the best of the best.
To the prompter – humor, a bit of snark, domestic life of two old men and probably more sex than you’d have expected – definitely more than I’d planned, though I do think Harry and Severus appreciated it, despite their age. Happy holidays to you!

A/N: Thank you for this lovely prompt, prompter! This fic just sort of exploded out of me at the last minute, but I like how it turned out. It was also influenced by Prompt No. 30: A sees B dancing at a Ministry ball and can't resist the urge to cut in.
