Title: Getting There…
Author: winoniel
Other pairings/threesome: Severus/OMC
Rating: Hard R
Word count: 14,500
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Infidelity, rough sex*
Prompt: #98: Post-war, Harry runs way to America to become a survivalist: guns, bunkers, planning for the end of the world. After the Ministry tries sending several people to bring him back (and they all get pounded and nearly killed), they send Snape.
Summary: Twenty-four years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus has a kinder, gentler facade. Of course, not with Harry Potter.
In addition to prompt #98, I used two other prompts as fodder: Prompt #142: A blind Severus struggles with his relationship with someone else. Harry waits patiently. and Severus as Mind Healer is taken from Prompt #135: For some reason, Hermione becomes a kneazle/book/whatever hoarder. Harry, Ron, and her kids hire Snape (now a Mind Healer at St Mungo's) to get Hermione to stop hoarding since it's his specialty. While helping her, Snape and Harry fall in love.

Sincere love to the Snarry-A-Thon mods for their unending understanding and to hpstrangelove for the beta!

Title: Pandora’s Box

Title: Phoenix Investigations
Author: unbroken_halo
Other pairings/threesome: Ginny/Neville
Rating: PG
Word count: 1,900
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *None*
Prompt: Wild Card #1. Past S-A-T '11 prompt #29. Fic is for the Snarry art Noir by _odella_. The artist's notes say: I wanted to give a film noir twist to this piece, wherein the Order of the Phoenix is actually a private investigation agency. So here you have partners Agent Potter and Agent Prince, the good cop/bad cop duo of the wizarding world.
Summary: A threat from the past rears its head, prompting Harry and Severus to take action.
A/N: Thanks to _odella_ for permission to use her art for the story; I hope you enjoy my take on your fantastic work. And, yes, this is a nod to Dragnet, which really dates me since I see Jack Webb as Sgt. Friday and not Dan Aykroyd. LOL! Dragnet belongs to CBS and no copyright infringement is intended.

Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *None*
Prompt: #4: Harry & Ginny try to get handfasted for their marriage, but the magical cords won't stay on Harry's wrists... a bit of divination discovers he's already bonded to someone else.

Title: All The Magic They’ll Ever Need
Artist: obiskus
Rating: PG-13 or mild R (NSFW)
Media: Coloured pencils
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Some nudity, possibly some mild spoilers for the fic.*
Prompt: #33 Art for a favourite fic.
Summary: They are all the magic the other needs.
A/N: When I first saw the prompt I already had a fic in mind which I would have very much liked to do art for but before I had the chance to start with that I read cayce_morris’ fic Coffeehouse Jazz (Variation II on a dance theme) and fell completely in love with it. So one abrupt plan-change and some smaller adjustments later, here we are. Done with coloured pencils (which I had not used in a very long time) with some highlights done with white acrylic paint. The musical notes should play out roughly like Bart Howard’s Fly Me To The Moon, since the sheetmusic from that was what I used for reference. Although I imagined a somewhat slower tempo for this than what Frank Sinatra sings.

The picture turned out slightly darker than I intended and I still have some issues with drawing hands, but otherwise yay, it’s done!

To cayce_morris: I hope you don’t mind me jumping your fic this way without saying anything first, but I loved, loved, loved this fic. The way you portray Snape, all the scenes in the coffeehouse and especially the first and last chapter just managed to push all my buttons. Also, some very vivid mental images. ♥ And Harry's dedication made me go all hearteyed for hours (hence the name of this piece).

To the Mods: Thank you for organizing this fest. It has been awesome to be part in this.
