A/N: To my giftee: I hope this story brings a smile to your face and a flush to your cheeks, for to do both means I have succeeded. It was so much fun writing for you.

To my betas, ChooseToLive and gingertart50: Those red pens you wield… well, they scare me a bit at times, but ultimately your keen eyes and spot-on feedback refine not only the story, but me too. Thank you, thank you.

To the mods: Hats off to you for shepherding this fest! It makes ringing in the new year decidedly brighter (and smuttier), and really, what could be better than that?

While you're thinking of which Snarry-a-Thon prompts you'd most like to see filled or possibly even claim for yourself, this might be a good time to relax with one of the fabulous Snarry fics currently being posted at the Snarry Swap on snape_potter on DW, LJ or IJ. Just search for the 'snarry swap' tag.

We're winding down and the final Snarry Swap post will be at 9 pm (EST) on January 31. We don't want to give anything away, but expect some surprises during the final three days of posting. Until then, please take some time to browse through the community and check out some of the entries you may have missed. It's unfortunate that sometimes entries posted mid- to late-fest tend to get less attention than earlier ones, so we hope you'll make the time to read, view and leave the creators a bit of love if you are so inclined.
