Lily Evans/Severus Snape anonymous exchange

This year we had a fine equilibrium between art and fic :)

I'd like to thank all the participants and those who commented. You made it possible! Special thanks go to writermerrin for filling in for us.

Without further ado, to the reveals:

ART
7types drew Since You've Been Gone for midnight_birth
prayer_at_night drew Anniversary for imisstheobvious
fiendish_thingy drew An Exercise in Excitement and Intimidation for venturous
venturous drew Frogging for prayer_at_night

FIC
imisstheobvious wrote In His Eyes for writermerrin
cathedralcarver wrote Piss Tank for 7types
midnight_birth wrote For the Moment for fiendish_thingy
writermerrin wrote Is It a Lie? for cathedralcarver

Participants now may reply to the comments (on both IJ and LJ) and post their works elsewhere.

If anyone recced anything from the fest in an open post, you can let me know and if there's at least 3 recs of the same work, I'll send them to the daily_snitch.

Title: Is It a Lie?
Author: writermerrin
Recipient: cathedralcarver
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~4,000
Warnings: utter disregard for canon
Summary: The lie was her friend, her protector, her barrier against the cold reality that Severus wasn’t who he used to be.
Disclaimer: This is a tribute to Severus Snape, and reviews are all I ask for in return.
Author’s Notes: Thank you, cathedralcarver, for your inspirational prompts. I've twisted the canon timeline to suit the story. Enjoy!

( Is It a Lie? )

Title: Frogging
Artist: venturous
Recipient: prayer_at_night
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of JKR and her representatives. This is a transformative work of fan art intended to celebrate those characters.
Artist's Notes: prayer_at_night, I zeroed in on your love of canon and chose a magical moment from their early friendship. I apologize for the lack of smut and hope that the 'love-at-first-sight' makes up for it.

( Frogging )

Title: For the Moment
Author: midnight_birth
Recipient: fiendish_thingy
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~3,000
Warnings: Some harsh language, snogging, nothing much else worth mentioning.
Summary: The summer before their fifth year, Severus visits Lily at home for the last time.
Disclaimer: Not mine. I play with permission to do so.
Author’s Notes: I tried to include as much of what you wanted as I could. This is my first time writing this pairing, so I couldn't quite work in smut, but I hope you like it anyway!

( For the Moment )

Title: An Exercise in Excitement and Intimidation
Artist: fiendish_thingy
Recipient: venturous
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: Severus Snape and Lily Evans belong to JK Rowling. Please don't sue!
Artist's Notes: Lily and Severus discover both the joy and fear associated with one's first year at Hogwarts. Hope you like it, venturous!

( An Exercise in Excitement and Intimidation )

Title: Piss Tank
Author: cathedralcarver
Recipient: 7types
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~5,000
Warnings: Language, sexual situations
Summary: Sometimes a storm comes on quickly, and when it’s over, everything has changed.
Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me.
Author’s Notes: Hello, 7types! Thank you for the lovely prompt. I tried to explore the canon relationship between Lily and Severus, take it to another level, and yet still remain in character. I truly hope I’ve completed the task to your liking.


( Piss Tank )

Title: Anniversary
Artist: prayer_at_night
Recipient: imisstheobvious
Rating: R (NWS)
Warnings: (not really sexual) nudity, AU
Disclaimer: I don't own Severus and Lily; if I did, she'd never have married that arrogant toerag Potter.
Artist's Notes: Dear imisstheobvious, your likes left almost everything open for me, and I sketched around trying to draw something that included as many of them as possible; in the end, this picture insisted to be drawn, even though it only fits with AU and happy ending.^^° I hope you like it anyway! Many thanks to orpheus_samhain for organizing this fest for us!
