Word Count: 45,044
Pairing: Snape/Harry, also Lily/Snape in a totally unconsummated sense, Lily/James

Summary: One day, comfortably set up in the afterlife, Lily Evans Potter switches on the telly and gets hooked on the Harry Potter show.
A/N: So, this was supposed to be short and cracky. The Muse apparently had other plans. Dear Flora, I truly did start out with your requests in mind, but the fic wandered far afield. I hope you enjoy where it ultimately ended up. Thanks to L for encouraging me to change horses midstream and for urging me to sing, R for reading the early fragments and loving them. The mods have been unbelievably kind about my deadline panic. Absolutely every single mistake here is of my own making.

Author's Notes: Thanks to B, E, and Y for the beta. This was inspired from a recent death in my family, my grandmother who passed away recently.

So I hope you enjoy it, and Merry Christmas for 2008.

Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Erm, Snarry?

Everybody Knows

Title: A Series Of Reversals
Author: rakina
Giftee: serpenscript
Word Count: 48994
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Severus/Harry/Draco; Severus/Harry; implied Draco/Ginny and Ron/Hermione.
Warnings: Underage in some countries as Harry is 17; 7th Year AU; dubious consent; coercion.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: When Severus finds a book that will help the trio destroy the Horcruxes, and sends it to Grimmauld Place, Harry finds out it is spell-trapped. But not before Ron and Hermione end up inside the book! Worse, they're not alone. Lucius Malfoy's very bad day is about to get worse, and Harry's very complicated life is about to take a turn for the worse too. Why is it always up to him to save the world, and this time with his virginity?
Author's notes: To my regular beta, who is a wonderful help in so many ways, I offer my sincere thanks even though she must remain anonymous for now. And to the two ladies who did a read-through (you know who you are) and checked for plot holes I send big squishy hugs.
My version of the Grimmauld Place library is just that – mine. I've no idea what it looks like in canon, though we've not seen it in the movies. This story is a 7th Year AU, so please don't tell me what's different; it's meant to be this way. Serpenscript's prompt can be found at the end of the fic.
Author's note to giftee: Dear serpenscript, thank you for the awesome prompts! I could have written all of them, but in the end chose your first choice. I changed it a little; I hope you don't mind but it worked better for me this way. So the messages from the book are spoken, not appearing on the page as they did in Riddle's diary. I tried to get most of the prompt in, and also some of your favoured kinks and hopefully none of your squicks. I also tried to avoid 'excessive' fluff, but had to give it a happy ending. I hope I made it plotty enough for you, though I'm not too sure about the clever use of canon bit *grins*. Also, I couldn't resist a fair bit of humour creeping in, maybe more than you expected. It was all Lucius' fault, you see...

Summary: Therapy is good for the mind, at least that is what they tell him.
Author's Notes: This fic was much harder to write than I had originally anticipated. asnowyowl asked for many things very commonly found in fanfiction, none of which I commonly write; however, although very short, I am proud to get it done through many hardships and two extensions that I thank the Snarry Mods for profusely. I also would like the thank S for patiently, and sometimes harshly, reminding me that I could indeed write.
