These are not related, just thought I'd save space and post them together. :)
Laughing and breathless, Harry stumbled out of the fireplace and collapsed onto the conveniently located sofa.
“Oof!”
The sofa doesn’t usually make that noise, Harry thought. And this doesn’t feel like—oh. A delighted smile lit his face as he looked into amused black eyes. “Severus! You waited up for me!” Harry happily snuggled into the hard body he’d landed on, tucking his head into Severus’ neck. He didn’t see the tender smile on the normally impassive face.
Severus waved a hand, lowering the flames on the cinnamon-scented candles and murmured into messy black hair, “Of course, I did, Harry.

He wasn’t a believer—not in God, not in humankind, and not in the spirit of Christmas. But tonight, this first night of December, the beginning of advent, Severus Snape found himself in a run-down, cozy little kirk. Poinsettias decorated the lobby and fat, red candles cast flickering shadows on the walls.
He walked down the short aisle and knelt at the altar. Looking up at the crucifix, he whispered, “Please let it end. If there is any mercy in the world…”
Severus cut himself off. He knew better than most that mercy was a myth.
Yet he stayed, kneeling…hoping.
