Secret Snarry Swap: Defying Gravity Title: Defying Gravity Author:writcraft Gift Recipient:gin_tonic Other pairings/threesome: Ron/Hermione, Draco/Ginny (all pairings except Snarry are non-explicit) Rating: NC-17 Word count: ~19,500 Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Canon death of Fred Weasley, appearances of the ghosts of those killed by Death Eaters, references to Death Eater suicides (not Severus), references to spanking and implied student/teacher role play, copious amounts of fluff along the way.* Summary: After the war Harry goes to collect Snape’s body and is surprised to find him still alive. From 1998 through to 2002, Severus and Harry exchange owls and have a series of chance encounters. In the meantime, George Weasley is trying to get over the death of his brother and after a number of years of research finally finds a spell which he is convinced will bring Fred back. The spell backfires and Severus and Harry are caught in the middle of it all. With a spell gone wrong, a freak snow storm, misunderstandings, numerous career changes, some Muggle musical theatre and a bit of Johnny Cash along the way, is there any hope that Severus and Harry will work through the muddle to get their happy ending? A/N: Thanks to badgerlady and the fest mods for the beta read, to deirdre_aithne for discussing points of the fic, to vlorahp for all the cheerleading and read through and finally thanks to snape_potter for another awesome fest. To anyone familiar with musical theatre, please excuse the liberties I have taken with the dates for when the various shows were running.
