He tried asking for help from his friends and fellow professors to see why Severus was acting this way, but appears his interactions with other people make Severus even more possessive of him.

Word Count: 19,224
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Minor character death, natural causes*
Prompt: Wild Card #2, which turned into -- #15: Epilogue-compliant except for the presumption Snape is dead: They don't get together until Harry is divorced and has grandkids, so there's no tight jeans or smooth skin in sight. Just wrinkles and cardigans and gray hair and adorable old dudes in love. Bonus points for Snape pulling off snarky sappiness in his old age.
Summary: After the war the Wizarding World looks to Harry to give them hope. So he does. And Love, Joy, Grief, Understanding, Pain, Courage, and Strength. He makes his living giving pieces of his emotions to the world and is happy to do so, in fact. Until Severus Snape contacts him one day and asks for Redemption.
A/N: Title from the quote: “Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with a real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep” ~ Clive Barker. Also - Harry is sixty-three in this story, and Severus is eighty-three. I hate doing math, so thought I would save all the readers the trouble of figuring that out. You’re welcome.

Harry Potter was everything Snape never knew he wanted—until the day Lucius Malfoy snatched him up with a snap of his fingers. Now the light was fading from Potter's eyes, but Snape wasn't certain he wanted to rescue Potter again.
A/N: If you enjoyed this story even a little, it's because [info]abrae spun straw into gold. She's incredible that way. :D A million thanks to the mods who organized this fest and promised the participants their weight in chocolate.

A/N: It's kind of exciting working with this because there were two fic claims for this prompt; it'll be really fun to finally read them to see how they differed from my interpretation!

Rating: PG to R
Media: Markers on paper, ballpoint pens on paper
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Nudity, Top/Bottom!Harry and Top/Bottom!Snape...Might have some hint of implied Mpreg, not non-con or dub-con (Please see A/N #2)*
Prompt: 2012 Prompt: #56: For whatever reason (creature inheritance/potions accident) Snape is somehow forced into displaying animalistic behavior and characteristics (any/all of the following: snarling; sniffing; scent-marking or biting; other claiming acts; territoriality; predatory stalking; cuffing; dominance; forcing the partner's neck down; claws and other features; knotting) where he is territorial and possessive. First time or established relationship.
Summary: The Prince family has a secret, when they find their mate and are ready to have offspring, their creature inheritance will make them rather animalistic...Sadly (or luckily?) both Headmaster Snape and his lover, Professor Potter, didn't know this secret. One morning, Harry found his lover acting rather strangely (Severus began grooming his hair for no reason). He tried asking for help from his friends and fellow professors to see why Severus was acting this way, but appears his interactions with other people make Severus even more possessive of him.
A/N: 1. First I want to thanks both [info]accioslash and [info]torino10154, I was having a very hard time working on this prompt, and they were kind enough to wait for me till the last minute...Thank you! And I hope everyone enjoys these drawings. I was going to write some sentences for each drawing, but I am not that good with writing, so maybe your imagination will fill the gaps better than my words. :) 2. For some viewers the sex scenes might looks a bit non-con or dub-con, but Snape in these is just showing his more passionate, possessive side, and Harry doesn’t mind at all. Because Snape doesn’t like to display his affection to Harry in public, Harry found it rather endearing, even it is a bit strange… XD

Severus must seek out Petunia (and/or Dudley) as Harry's closest blood relative for a blood transfusion/bone marrow transplant/Wizarding illness cure/etc as it's the one chance he has to save Harry.
Summary: Just because you know somebody doesn’t mean you know them. Especially when it comes to family.
A/N: So much love to my girls for the idea-hashing and proofing, especially the lovely one willing to let me call her “my substitute Shan” *grin* I can’t even. Also, each time there is a page break, the perspective shifts from Petunia to Severus. Just a heads up.
