Summary: Severus, a self-exiled British wizard, lives a solitary life on the American plains, studying the magic of the land. Harry, a reluctant newlywed traveling west, is found by Severus, half-dead and miles from his party. The two have much more in common than it would appear, and embark on a quest together to bring Harry home – wherever that may be.
A/N: Thank you to my wonderful betas, who cheered me through this story, and helped me with all manner of things. This story is inspired by Brokeback Mountain, though if it resembles the story/movie at all, it is, I hope, in atmosphere and mood. I tried for a sense of sparseness and quiet, giving two men all the room in the world to be who they were meant to be.

Prompt: Wild Card #1
Summary: A soft blanket of comfort can be found in the early morning commuter rush at King's Cross. It's always been a solitude of Harry's own – a private world in the fog surrounding the tracks – but perhaps the absolution he needs is in the company he shares.
A/N: I decided my offering for this year's Snarry-a-thon was going to be all about my happy places. My deep love in fandom art is illustrating stories. There is something about bringing a scene to the page (virtual or paper) and the challenge that it involves that really gets my creative juices flowing – in particular when a writer pens something so provocative, heart warming, or visually memorable that it gets imprinted upon my brain. Hands down, my favorite genre is hurt/comfort, so I went to my list of current favorite comfort fics and the one that immediately jumped out was oliversnape's A Grim Old Cat. I knew immediately which scene I wanted to draw. This story of Snape and Harry and how they help each other heal post-war is one of my favorites from this author and I reread it often. This particular scene is the one that tugs my heart the hardest (darn you, Oliver!) and deciding to create it was a no-brainer. I also did something I hadn’t done in ages; I dusted off my beloved coloring pencils and made this a multimedia piece, a fun return to the first HP art I ever created back in 2008. I didn’t know how much I missed going beyond just the digital. Thanks so much to oliversnape for granting me permission to illustrate this. It made me deliriously happy, and I hope I did it justice. Kisses to roozetter for her encouragement in pushing me to submit my idea.
