Snarry-a-Thon23: Week Three Wrap-Up  
We're nearly done--just a couple more days of new entries! Thanks to everyone reading and commenting. The authors and artists really appreciate it!

FIC:
old fires and phantom limbs - NC-17, 14,514 words
Summary: A long moment passes. And then he steps out of the shadows of the surrounding shops and into the bright sunlight, walking up to you.

"You came back," you say bluntly, unable to look away.

"Yeah." He shuffles his feet a bit, slips his hands in his pockets in such a familiar way that a pang of deep fondness strikes through your chest. "Last week," he adds.

It seems impossible that he would have been back in the country for days and you wouldn't have sensed it somehow. How could his presence not send shockwaves all the way to Spinner's End? How could you not know, in your heart of hearts, the instant that he returned.

Tuesdays - PG-13, 58,927 words
Summary: "Take this," Severus thrust the scrap of paper forward.

The boy took it, glanced at it and looked back up in annoyance. "I can't read it."

It took
all of his self-control not to roll his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't. It's Japanese."

"I don't – "

"You," he held up a hand to silence Potter, "will go home and book a Portkey, or a flight, I do not care which, to Kyoto.
Yes, that is in Japan. And you will not come back until you have stayed there for at least three months. Do I make myself clear?"

A post-war story of self-discovery, grief, healing, and finding one's path – in the most unexpected of places.

My Soul to Keep - NC-17, 4,030 words

And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings - NC-17, 7,342 words
Summary: Being universally hated was nothing new for Severus, but the extreme poverty and living outside of society was hard, and each year that passed added to the burden. A strong man can take it, and Severus was strong, however, at the end of the day, even he is only human and cannot live on air and water. For some reason it has been his luck that he has always ended up on the wrong side and this was no different. Only one door was open to him - the sale of narcotic potions and finally Severus entered there. The appearance of Harry Potter, in his life brings big changes, that's for sure. Only whether for better or for worse, that is the question.

Brews And Rescues - PG-13, 18,000 words
Summary: Forced by an ancient (and rogue) Ministry spell to pretend they're in a relationship, retired Auror Harry and loner-by-choice Severus uncover a dastardly plot.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

The Proper Incentive - R, 5,000 words
Summary: A glimpse into Potter's thoughts gives Snape an idea about how to persuade him to work hard at Occlumency. Very hard. Rock hard, even.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

Fresh Air - G, 1,930 words
Summary: Who knew that a chihuahua stepping out for fresh air would reunite Harry with a man long thought dead.
