Pairing(s): James Potter/Sirius Black, Minerva McGonagall/Pomona Sprout, Madam Rosmerta/Dorcas Meadowes, Severus Snape/Regulus Black
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended. All characters engaging in sexual activity are 16 years or older.
Summary: Sometimes a little help is all you need to find the reason to go after what you really want.
Warnings: All manner of sex—m/m and f/f, including some light bondage.
Word Count: ~11,000
Author's Notes: This is for la_dissonance who suggested so many intriguing pairings and situations that I couldn't pick just one. So, we have a bit of teasing, bondage, and orgasm withholding and also some lovemaking and fluffy, sleepy sex. I suppose if you squint, very hard, the entire premise is your dubcon kink, although you'll have to squint very hard. The Deities mentioned in the story are: Oenghus, the Scottish/Celtic version of cupid; Cliodna, the goddess of beauty and of other worlds; and Creide, the goddess who watches over women and helpful faeries (depending upon which sources you check, there are other stories associated with these names).

Many thanks to E and L, fabulous betas. Also to the mods for their great work on this fest.

Author's Notes: It began humbly enough, was meant to be a PWP but I sort of went off on a tangent. I tried to include as much of your suggestions as I could, while striving for some plot. Hope I succeeded. Many thanks to my lovely beta B for her sharp eyes and encouragement. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Holidays!
