Title: Our Last Confession
Author: catharticEscapism
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 12,300 words
Content/Warning(s): A/B/O dynamics, trans!Snape, off-screen bullying, Harry is 17 years old-technically he's underage even if he's an adult in Wizarding society
Prompt: Wild Card, but originally from a ‘Swap that I didn’t finish.
Summary: Snape survives the war, but on the precipice of his release from the hospital wing, he goes into heat. Harry’s there to save the day. Again. Featuring soulmates and A/B/O dynamics.
A/N: Originally, I wrote this fic for a ‘swap, but I ended up abandoning it for a few months because I lost interest. Luckily, HP and Snarry are something I always come back to, so once I found my drive again, it was a cinch to finish it. I’m extremely proud of it. It’s been awhile since I’ve written something this long. I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it. So much thanks to dromikins (a03) / dromikinsfr (twitter) for beta-ing this fic for me!! It was also Brit-picked by Xanthe and a friend who prefers to stay anonymous! I can’t thank them all enough!

I also wanted to mention that the LGBTQUIA+ community is thriving at Hogwarts. There are queer people across all the houses, and there's no prejudice in the wizarding world regarding it. There are spells and potions being regularly tested by the Ministry of Magic, so anyone can change their presentation. Capitalism unfortunately drives up the cost of more permanent options, which is what led to Snape having muggle top surgery: it was cheaper.

Harry is eighteen years old in this AU.
Summary: A transformed Severus wakes up to his estranged mother and Harry Potter sitting beside his hospital bed. His mother unceremoniously informs him that Tobias Snape isn't his biological father and that he is actually of fae descent.

Having to hear every one of Harry's thoughts, Harry able to listen to all of his, and as a fae, not being able to lie: Severus goes on to learn many things he didn't expect.

Prompter/Prompt: No. 15 from themightyflynn: Snape comes into a late creature inheritance once Harry comes of age. He tries to deny it, but is ultimately drawn back to his mate.

It is a truth his mother, Eileen Prince, has been telling him since his childhood.
His Chosen One is waiting for him.
A/N: Dear prompter: It seems my idea ran away from the original prompt a little here - I hope you still enjoy it! This is actually my second idea, since the first one turned out... Not feasible with the time at hand. I am planning to write it one day, though. One day.
This fic would not have been possible without a literal army of people supporting me through my frustrated screaming. R., thank you for your support! W. and I., thank you for your spontaneous and quick beta work, your tagging, and I., your summary help. C., even though I couldn't use the primary idea this time, I'd like to thank you for your immense help. Your ideas and suggestions are absolutely top-notch. Every time.
And thank you so much to the mods, especially Torino, for organising this, and for your patience!
I know I'm butchering the original Ancient Greek concept of Diipetes here - I hope you can forgive me for that. Also, one scene is strongly influenced by AUctoberfest prompt 2022-05 (a soulmate bond manifesting through healing touch).
Alright, enough waffling. Have fun!

Many years after the war, he and Harry meet by chance at Draco's New Year's party, (or at least that's what Severus thinks) and, to his surprise, Harry, not really hiding it, clearly shows interest in him.

It is possible that Severus is not the only one with secrets.
