Content/Warnings: (highlight for spoilers) *None.*
Prompt: Sign-up #5, prompt 1: A fic for this picture with the stipulation that it not be an 'I dream of Jeanie' parody, or the like!
Summary: Some believe heaven is a place on Earth, a sanctuary that can be only found in the arms of their beloved. Harry Potter is the kind of man who'd risk his very sanity to protect his heaven...
Beta(s): Special thanks to both Accioslash and Badgerlady for their beta work on this piece. They've courageously saved us all from my bad punctuation. ;)
A/N: This prompt captured my imagination from the first moment I saw it and I was really glad to have been given the opportunity to write the story for it so, to my giftee, whoever you might be, thank you for adding it to your list.
You especially dislike an insipid Harry, a lack of plot and gratuitous character bashing. I have genuinely tried my best to avoid all three. I've attempted to give you all your likes instead, so my humble gift to you is a (little) angsty story with a bottom!Snape and a happy ending. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while writing it. Happy Holidays! :)

LJ, IJ, DW

•The Acquiesco Variant, R, 4,393, CHAN
Summary/Prompt: The prompt requested 1. Shivering; 2. Sev and Harry make the best Slytherins; 3. “In dreams, I’ll walk with you, in dreams, I’ll talk with you, in dreams you’re mine all of the time.” Snape is ordered by the Dark Lord to penetrate Harry’s dreams using an obscure form of Legilimency, and what he discovers there confounds him.
LJ, IJ, DW

•Waiting for the Prince, NC-17, 9,800, CHAN
Summary/Prompt: The old cliché where Harry falls for the Half-Blood Prince. He finds a spell in the book that allows him to converse with a teenage Snape. They become pen pals of sorts, but the spell prevents either boy from revealing who they are. Their relationship develops from friendship to something more. Eventually their writing turns personal/sexual as they share stories of what they’ve done (not much) and what they would do if they could be together. Their relationship develops over the course of Harry’s 6th year. There is mutual masturbation and multiple scenes where they write back and forth about their various fantasies.

Summary/Prompt: “Emotional infidelity: Harry and Ginny are married, and while it's not necessarily an unhappy marriage, neither of them is exactly all smiles and cuddles by the fire, either. The honeymoon period has worn off by several years, and they're both getting older. Maybe that's why Harry's been turning up more and more often at Severus Snape's door for Firewhiskey and a chat. Nevermind that he gets more out of those meetings, where the only touching they do is sitting a little closer than necessary on the worn old leather sofa, than he does from sharing a home—and a bed—with his wife.”
LJ, IJ, DW
