Title: Nowhere To Hide
Author: ???
Gift for: angelmischa
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Summary: After the war the wizarding world concentrates on getting back to normal. It's time to revive some old traditions that have fallen by the wayside during Voldemort's reign of fear. One of those most eagerly anticipated is the Procession of the Maypole. But like all wizarding ceremonies, there's a twist from the Muggle version, and several couples are chosen to take part. Chosen for what? Well, let's say the participants are forced to confront their real feelings. Enter two men who are not expecting to participate in the ceremony; two publicity-shy men who become Chosen Ones. Once picked, they must honour the May. To be honest, when it came to that part, neither of them fought very hard.....
Rating: NC17
Warnings: None, really. Harry is 18.
Author's notes: angelmischagave me a large choice of pairings to choose from; the one I felt most confident to write was: Severus Snape/Harry Potter..

Her wishlist: At some point, there should be an elaborate bouquet of flowers. There should be a robe-shopping/robe-picking scene. There should be a silent, almost-empty church moment. 3-5 traditions or rituals that you are interested in: Corpus Christi, Lammas, Catholic processions of the Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalene in France/Italy/Spain!

Well, that's a fascinating mixture! I hope what I've produced is a wizarding variant of some of those, and with any luck it will be something you'll enjoy reading.

Beta: the ever-vigilant H, without whom, as they say...
