Pairings:Eileen Prince and Tobias Snape
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *None......*.

Artist's Notes: Dear chibitoaster / littleblackbow, hope you like this fanart, and please forgive my drawing skill, I still couldn't catch their essence very well.
P.s. I know they don't have color photos at that time yet, but we could pretend it is a sort of stilled wizardry photo?

Title: Triptych
Rating: R
Pairings: Eileen Prince/Tobias Snape; Eileen Prince/Sybill Trelawney
Word Count: 14,050
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *one episode of spousal abuse*
Summary: He hadn't married the girl for love, Tobias was the first to admit it.
Author's Notes: tarteaucitron, you said you like stories that "illuminate canon" and that "focus on buried emotions and resentments, frustrated ambitions, or awkward compromises" -- so out of your list of characters, I immediately thought of Eileen and Tobias; I suspect "resentment" and "frustration" pretty much define their lives. I tried to work in the "alternative p.o.v.s," too. I hope the result is something like you had in mind.

Thank you to my excellent beta-readers.

Title: Charming a Prince
Rating: R
Pairings: Eileen Prince/Tobias Snape
Word Count: 16,000+
Warnings: smoking, fingering, first time, frottage
Summary: Tobias had been sent away from danger into a strange world he'd never known, where he met a most unusual girl.
Author's/Artist's Notes: For snapesgirl, who wrote, "I have this fantasy where Tobias and Eileen had a good marriage, their parents were the ones always fighting with them." That made me wonder how they might have got to that point. I hope you enjoy the result! Many thanks to my beta; any errors remaining are mine alone. And many, many thanks to bethbethbeth for running this great fest - and for her incredible patience, forbearance and understanding!

Title: Grownup Stories
Rating: Somewhere between a PG-13 and an R, but mostly for language and suggestion of physical abuse
Pairings: Eileen/Tobias, Severus/??
Word Count: 5268, according to the ol' word processor count
Warnings: Suggestion of child abuse?
Summary: A mother tells her son what she wishes was a fairy tale.
Author's Notes: I... uh... kind of feel the need to apologize for this, because I get the feeling the requester was asking for something a little sexier, but I had to kind of go with this idea because, well, you'll see. Hopefully the fact that I was encouraged to love any Snape-plot-bunnies I might have makes it okay.

Summary: At the age of 65, Eileen Prince Snape is as surprised as anyone to find that she's finally developed an interest in being anybody's wife or mother.
Author's Notes: Femme, I was delighted to get the opportunity to write an Eileen-centric story! I tried to work in as many of your likes as possible. The story does require a slightly different reading than the usual for the Snape family backstory, but I hope very much that you enjoy it. I especially owe thanks to my betas, D and D, for being speedy, insightful, supportive and willing to call me out on my stupidity when I need it. Extra special thanks to bethbethbeth for organising this wonderful fest and being such an awesome and understanding mod!
