ART:
•The Last Memory PG
Summary: Harry goes back to the Shack to get Snape’s body, only to find a last strand of memory. Evidently Harry had missed it in his horror and haste when he had siphoned them into the phial Hermione had provided. Harry collects the last memory even though it is strangely reluctant to come out, clinging to Snape’s temple, still halfway embedded in his mind. And then Snape coughs.

Finding out that Severus’ legal surname is Snape-Addams is only the beginning.
A/N: I found this little gem in an old Google Docs trunk marked “Unfinished Co-fics 2007”, pulled it out and dusted it off. Then I went and poked [co-author] to come and help me finish this little bunny we lassoed back in the last decade, but never finished. It has definite possibilities for a sequel--we shall see. This is my first foray back into writing fandom after about a four-year absence. It feels good to be back!

Title: Grim
Author: ac1d
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: Explicit
Word count: ~17,000
Content/Warning(s): dogs, dust, a dose of deathly danger, and Severus Snape in his natural habitat.
Prompt: 11) After his death, Sirius has to atone for his sins. He can't move on until he has helped Severus get the thing he wants the most: Harry.
Summary: After the war, the house on Spinner's End is a shelter, but not a home. Then Snape lets in a pair of strays.
A/N: Thank you to A. for proofreading, which is actually a great understatement, as she saw the potential of the draft with only a glimpse of the story structure to it, taught me the importance of a midpoint, and prompted the overhaul of the disconnected patchwork of scenes until they fit together in proper order, encouraging me to grow the story a quarter longer than before. To summarise, she is the reason that this tale grew beyond its initial form of first half, something readable, and second half, resolution. Thank you, also and always, to S. for teaching me who Snape is, beyond the usual facade, the billowing cloak, and the sarcastic remarks.

This is for all the dogs I've met that would make a great wizard, for all the humans who aren't really dog people, and for anyone brave enough to risk a change, be it tackling house-cleaning as therapy or sharing childhood traumas.

Title: Worth Watching
Author: accioslash
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: NC 17
Word count: 3900 words
Content/Warning(s): Non-magical AU, drunk sex, anal sex, established relationship
Prompt: 119: Remix a favorite Snarry fic. This fic is a remix of the amazing Esse Quam Videri (To Be Rather Than to Seem) by torino10154. You should read that first so this will make more sense.
Summary: One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
A/N: Forgive me for borrowing your toys without asking your permission when I first borrowed them for your birthday in 2013 when this was written and posted on a private filter. I did my best to return them in the same well-fucked condition you left them. And at least I asked this time before posting publicly.

I made an effort to work in references from some of the many wonderful pieces in your unforgettable series - including the outtakes - and I took some liberties with your canon. Nothing I wrote here will change anything that happens in "All Was Well: January 2007" and the piece has no set date other than it happens after the end of "January, 1960".
Beta: The absolutely terrifying, but entirely awesome, perverse_idyll who likely only just managed to refrain from suggesting a remedial grammar course and forced me to add even more porn.
