Title: The Weather Outside Is Frightful...
Author: nestinghedwig
Rating: PG-13

Content/Warning(s): Slash, Some Profanity, Non Magic (Because to my way of thinking, use of Floo Powder, Apparation, or a Portkey would prevent a witch or wizard from being snowed in.)
Prompter: alafaye
Prompt: #20 It's Christmas Eve and they're snowed in. Not that they mind.
A/N: Written for Secret Snarry Swap16

Title: You Deserve Better (You Deserve All)
Author: agneskamilla
Other pairings/threesome: Severus/Kingsley, Kingsley/OFC
Rating: R (for language – they all have potty mouths)
Word count: 5000ish
Content/Warning(s): Kingsley is kind of a douchebag for a while, angst, non-snarry pairing, severe lack of smut
Prompter: prayer_at_night
Prompt: #47 Treat You Better (Shawn Mendes). Severus (or Harry) is in another relationship, Harry (or Severus) doesn't think that other person is right for Severus (or Harry). Could be an abusive relationship, could be that the other person is cheating, could just simply be that they aren't the one for each other. Maybe Severus and Harry had a fling years before and never stopped pining for each other? Or they fall in love while one helps the other out of the unhappy relationship?
Summary: Harry doesn’t approve of Severus’ relationship, and his jealousy is not the only reason. Really, it isn’t!
A/N: Dear Giftee, I hope you like this.

Prompter: eriador117
