Title: How National Geographic Saved Severus Snape
Author: suitesamba
Rating: R (for language and insinuation)
Warnings: Violent decapitation of a snake, mild Lord of the Flies behavior in Neville Longbottom, one or two “F” bombs, chan (Harry bestows his first kiss on Severus at 17).
Word count: 1802
Summary: Severus always thought the snake would be his downfall so, knowing the killing habits of giant venomous serpents, put certain protections in place. Harry, ever the hero, arrives at just the right time to perform a vital service.
A/N: My first beta (who may or may not be one of the moderators of this site) did not understand my reference to National Geographic magazine. She obviously grew up in the age of the internet when children did not have to resort to the photo spreads in this stellar magazine for pictures of naked people. I had someone of a more advanced age (49) read it and she immediately got it. I then polled the guys in my office and only two (aged 25 and 30) did not understand why one would titter over a NG magazine. So this one is for you oldsters out there. Enjoy!

Word Count/ Art: I have no idea what the heck to call this. Drabble, Art, and a bunch of paint and baking.

Summary: What angel wakes me from my flowery bed?
A/N: Written for the Revival fest at severus_sighs. I have no idea what to say about this except I think I was on poor kids crack when this idea came about. That and I was sleep deprived from working with drama queen characters that just wouldn't work with me half the time. So, I apologize for all the disturbing images you’re about to witness. As usual, I’m giving all my thanks to the Grinch roozetter for her beta work. I lurve you, doll!

If you are searching for a beta with your hand outstretched, lips parted, and a faint sheen of tears making your eyes shine like crystals... This is the place for you to leave your name!

And if you occasionally dress in your old cap and gown, hugging your degree in literature (journalism? writing? English? Whatevs!)closely to your chest, petting it and calling it your preccccciousssss ... Or, you know, you have a severe hatred of the Oxford comma and some free time ... This is the place for you to leave your name, too!

See what we did there? Multi-tasking. We rock it. *fist bump*
