Happy Daft Day, eriador117!
Recipient: eriador117
Title: Worth It
Author: inoru_no_hoshi
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~17,700
Warnings: Forced bonding, sadistic!bastard!Snape, crossdressing, BDSM|M/s (slavefic), violence, chan, AU post 5th, briefly referenced Sirius/Remus, mpreg, rape of not-even-canon people.
Prompt/Summary: Sentenced to slavery and taken in hand by Severus Snape, Harry slowly discovers that it's worth it.
Author's Note: I owe thanks to: the mods for their seemingly boundless patience with me and this fic; my betas, eeyore9990 and snapessecret, who did lovely jobs and to whom I continue to owe very deep apologies for being impatient and rude; and NaNoWriMo for teaching me that I can write a lot in a short amount of time.
eriador117, I hope this meets with your approval despite the plot holes and things that went unmentioned on the way to the ending. I did my best to hit as many of your kinks as I could and still have a decent story - a thing possibly made easier because we share quite a few. *g* Happy Holidays!

Worth It

	Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love forced bondings and you not only gave me that, but a BDSM one with Harry in skirts as well! I adore this fic, thank you so much :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm so glad! I've been absently worrying myself that it wasn't up to your standards (your fics are just epic in all they encompass!), so it delights me to see your effusive thanks. :)

This was actually my first time putting all these aspects together (although I've written them separately and in various combinations before), and it was interesting writing Snape like this...I usually soften those edges of his just a bit. ;D

Anyway, my point is, you're very welcome!

	Ooooh, this was lovely! I love the way Severus and Harry slowly became a couple (no matter the slavery and everything) and yay for skirts and mpreg! :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	inoru_no_hoshi 2009-01-21 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! I drove myself a bit spare with this fic, and the pacing (I sually write much shorter stuff!), but I think that it's quite worth it. I'm glad you liked it! ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A very well done story! But will Harry ever wear pants again???? Of course if he has more babies, it may be easier to wear the skirt. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Now that is a question for the ages. xD I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So. Good. My only regret is that it ended. But I loved Snape in all his bastardly glory and Harry's slow acceptance of him. Really well done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	inoru_no_hoshi 2009-01-21 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	blush I don't think I've ever gotten quite that level of approval for a fic before. Thank you! Bastard!Snape was fun to write, and Harry kept trying to be all submissive before I wanted him to. sigh My fault for thinking he's best suited like that! Lol. ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	wonderful, Mara! Poor Harry, always getting a bad deal. But, turns out just fine in the end, he has a family who loves him. Naughty bastard!Snape, heee. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	inoru_no_hoshi 2009-01-25 10:26 am UTC (link)
	Thank you! :D Yup, I was mean to Harry, but it was actually disguised kindness. Hee. Bastard!Snape was fun to write.. until the last couple scenes where he wanted to go all not!bastard on me.. I didn't let him, so ha. :P I'm glad you enjoyed it! ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Since DH, it seems there aren't many 'old school' forced bonding fics written anymore... and I miss them! So this was a real treat. This was so well done. I loved the reasoning for the slavery as well as Harry's slow acceptance of his plight. It was also really nice to see bastard!Severus show some tenderness to his boy. Wonderful job!

I adore forced bondings! So this was fun to write, even though it drove me nuts (longest thing I've ever written outside of NaNoWriMo). Anyway I haven't read either HBP or DH, so I don't really have them colouring my perceptions. Hee. As far as I'm concerned, Harry can just stay fifteen forever! *cackles*

:D Most of this was actually written on much less than my normal amount of sleep, so it may bear out my observation that my best writing is done while half asleep. *snicker* I'm glad it pulls together really well, though, since I had concerns about it doing so due to the lack of sleep. :P

Anyway, thank you for the nice words! I'm glad you liked it!

	Most excellent and interesting work! I like how they grow closer and closer throughout the story and their interactions were great. Well done!~Sophia (Reply to this) (Thread)

	My inner romatic wouldn't let me do anything but make sure they grew closer and closer! :o (That, and eriador117 wanted a happy ending.) :D Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it! ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm not usually into cross-dressing or mpreg, but this was beautiful. Well done. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I'm thrilled that you liked something you don't usually go for. ^_^ ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I liked reading Ron and Hermione’s thoughts on Harry’s situation. Ginny saying goodbye to her childhood dream was amusing. I liked the idea of Harry wearing a corset under his dress. The earrings were a nice touch, too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	inoru_no_hoshi 2009-02-01 07:56 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad you liked it! Wanna know a secret? Those short interludes from those three were only put in because I needed to move the story along and was drawing blanks on other methods. Otherwise they wouldn't be there at all. xD I just adore earrings and corsets, so that explains those. Hee. ~Mara~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What a lovely complete story you have given. I enjoyed it very much and could not stop reading once I got started. Loved the way they came to need each other. CB (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was worth reading it, though it's not my usual cuppa. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I'm glad you liked, despite not normally liking this sort of fic. I apologise for the dreadfully late reply, though! ~Mara (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This was just... so interesting! They both were wonderfully IC and having the snippets from other POVs was really insightful! Great job! yay for Mpreg! (Reply to this) (Thread)
