Title: Foundations (or, Where Do We Go from Here)
Author: avioleta
Other pairings/threesome: n/a
Rating: Explicit
Word count: 17,920
Content/Warning(s): first time; blow jobs; masturbation; eighth-year; switching; magic; powerful!Harry; jealousy; angst with happy ending; Harry is a bit of an arse, but Severus likes him that way.
Prompt: No. 9: Severus knows it isn’t love or even affection that brings Harry Potter to his bed each night. But, after the war, Harry is unhappy. And if this is what the Boy Hero turned Saviour wants to do to take his mind off things? Severus isn’t one to object.
Summary: After the war, Severus retreats to the solitude of his dungeons. There are potions to brew, repair work to be done, and lessons to plan. But then Harry Potter begins turning up at all hours, wanting little more—it seems—than to irritate Severus. Severus doesn’t know what Potter wants. But he doesn’t know what he wants, either. From the original prompt: Severus knows it’s not love or even affection that brings Harry Potter to his rooms at night.
A/N: Especial thanks to Badgerlady for her kindness and skilled edits. And to Torino and Lilyseyes for all the support and another wonderful Thon!

Foundations (or, Where Do We Go from Here)

Week one is under our belts and we're off to a great start! Thanks to everyone reading and commenting. The authors and artists really appreciate it!

Also, a quick reminder: please join snape_potter to see all of our fest entries.

ART:
•A Masked Kiss - PG, SFW
Summary: Severus and Harry kiss. That is all.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

FIC:
•A Trick of the Mind - NC-17, 40,627 words
Summary: Ever since the horcrux in his head is gone, Legilimency comes easy to Harry. It’s nearly laughable how easy it is, considering how much he used to struggle with it back in his fifth year. But he reckons half of that had been Snape’s fault anyway. Who on earth would enjoy the nasty git invading their mind?

But as life as Harry has known it changes, Harry’s opinion on the matter changes with it ― rather drastically so if he’s being perfectly honest.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Enchanted - NC-17, 16,690 words
Summary: Cinderella AU: Prince Severus is holding a ball at the castle and Harry really wants to go, but his stepbrother Dudley and his stepmother Petunia won't let him.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•The Way Death Clutches At Life - NC-17, 7,000 words
Summary: Death is permanent, unless it is not.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Parselicious - NC-17, 15,000 words
Summary: Upon returning to finish his education, Harry wanted to figure out the puzzle that was Severus Snape. When an opportunity presented itself, he had to see it through, didn’t he?
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Heartbreak Warfare - PG-13, 5,062 words
Summary: The Potions master was dosed with heartbreak in a vial, ensuring a perfectly ironic death… Unless someone came along to cure him with true love’s kiss.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•No Defence Against the Dark - NC-17, 1,730 words
Summary: After handling his DADA material, Harry might have changed a bit lately. Severus doesn’t approve. Or does he?
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•With Aloha - NC-17, 26,772 words
Summary: Severus and Harry are booked on the same gay singles cruise.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

We'll be back tomorrow to begin another week of new entries!

Title: Heartbreak Warfare
Author: FleetingDesires
Rating: T
Word count: 5,062
Content/Warning(s): Mental Health (Acute Depression), Self-Image issues, POV Severus, Angst, Happy Ending, True Love's Kiss, Professor Potter, Professor Snape
Prompt: No. 44: Snape was cursed by a rogue Death Eater/hired assassin with a mortal love curse. The curse is easily lifted by someone who is in love with the cursed. Thus, the perpetrator ensured quite a slow and painful death for the spy. Or did they?
Summary: The Potions master was dosed with heartbreak in a vial, ensuring a perfectly ironic death… Unless someone came along to cure him with true love’s kiss.
A/N: My thanks to maraudersaffair for serving as alpha to this first-time Snarry writer.

Title: Parselicious
Author: armassy
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: E
Word count: 15K
Content/Warning(s): 8th year, Parseltongue-kink
Prompt: No. 48: Harry sees Severus react weirdly when he speaks to a snake. He'd hoped that he and the man had moved past their animosity, but apparently there was still something left of it. In reality Snape is just really turned on by Harry speaking parsel. How long can he fight that truth?
Summary: Upon returning to finish his education, Harry wanted to figure out the puzzle that was Severus Snape. When an opportunity presented itself, he had to see it through, didn’t he?
Disclaimer: Do not own anything, except for the plot.
A/N: I’ve always wanted to write a Parseltongue kink fic and when this prompt came up, I knew I had to grab it. As always, the boys did what they wanted, so I moved in a slightly different direction than I originally drafted, but hey, it happens to me all the time. Thanks to the mods for organizing the fest! I’m so excited to be finally a part of it!

Also, huge thanks to my beta DD for always making sure that I don’t submit trash and that the story makes sense.

Title: The Way Death Clutches At Life
Author: Taxonomic
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: E
Word count: 7000
Content/Warning(s): None
Prompt: No. 1: Wild Card.
Summary: Death is permanent, unless it is not.
A/N: This prompt originally came from the 2010 Snarry-a-thon – 14: Snape dies in the Shack and Death offers him the position of Grim Reaper for Great Britain. As the master of Deathly Hallows, Harry can see him when he comes to collect souls. Soon, Harry’s obsession with the man drives him to spend his free time wandering the ward for the terminally ill at St. Mungos.

Thank you to Coconutice22 for the beta and support – and for teaching me about all the different kinds of dashes :)

Prompt: No. 91: Cinderella AU: Prince Severus is holding a ball at the castle and Harry really wants to go, but his stepbrother Dudley and his stepmother Petunia won't let him.
Summary: See prompt.
A/N: With big thanks to Coconutice22. 😘 I took the freedom to interpret it a bit different. For example Harry won’t be the stepbrother of Dudley but still being his cousin. But I think it still works. Enjoy!

Rating: Explicit
Word count: 40627
Content/Warning(s): none
Prompt: Wildcard: prompt No. 6 from last year's Thon: When Harry and Severus have to sit through hours of boring official events after the war, their eyes cross paths and a sort of Legilimency communication starts... and gets dirty.
Summary: Ever since the horcrux in his head is gone, Legilimency comes easy to Harry. It’s nearly laughable how easy it is, considering how much he used to struggle with it back in his fifth year. But he reckons half of that had been Snape’s fault anyway. Who on earth would enjoy the nasty git invading their mind?

SNARRY-A-THON22 PROMPT CLAIMING IS OPEN

art by stellamoon

The Snarry-a-Thon is open to everyone over age 18 and anyone may claim a prompt. A list of fest rules and FAQs can be found here. Each prompt may be claimed up to four times - twice by an author and twice by an artist. If you would prefer to use a prompt of your own creation or any of the over 2,600 prompts from a previous Snarry-a-Thon, please claim Wild Card #1. You can find previous prompt posts at these links: 2009: part 1, 2009: part 2, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. If you are feeling ~adventurous, please select Wild Card #2 and the mods will assign a prompt to you.

When you sign up, you do not have to list an alternate prompt. But if you do, priority will always be given to your first choice. As this is not an exchange fest, authors and artists should feel free to interpret/adapt the prompts in whatever manner you decide.

Requests for specific characters (other than Snape and Harry), specific kinks (unless they are critical to the spirit of the prompt), situations, time periods, or type of ending are up to the discretion of the writer/artist and some prompts were edited for inclusion. Unedited prompts can be found at the original "Call for Prompts" posts on DW, LJ, and IJ.

Prompting for this year's Snarry-a-Thon ends at 11:59PM EST on Monday!

Or, more realistically, early Tuesday morning. ;)

Get your prompts in at DW, LJ, and IJ.

Claiming begins on Wednesday, February 16 at 11am EST!

Prompting is now OPEN CLOSED!

Don't hold back. All kinds of prompts are welcome - happy prompts, dark prompts, silly prompts, kinky prompts, fluffy prompts, romantic prompts, art prompts, prompts set in the past, present, or future, prompts from any universe, both unique ideas and beloved fandom tropes....We welcome any flavour of Snarry. Let your fantasies run wild! Submitting prompts doesn't commit you to anything.

Each person may leave up to FOURTEEN prompts (one for every year of Snarry-a-Thon!!) but please, no more. And because we will be posting prompts inside a text box, we ask people please try to limit your prompts to no more than two or three sentences. We would like to reiterate that Snarry-a-Thon is not an exchange and personal preferences like who tops or side-pairings not essential to the spirit of the prompt may be edited from the final prompt. Last year's prompt table is here if you'd like to get a better idea what your prompt will look like in its final form.

Prompting is open until 11:59 pm (EST) on February 14. The complete list of all prompts will be posted at 12 pm (EST) on February 15. Comments will be temporarily disabled to give everyone a chance to read over the entire list of prompts and decide which prompt they would like to claim. On Wednesday, February 16, at 11 am (EST), comments will be enabled on the post and claiming of prompts will begin.
