Summary/Prompt: #32: Almost every year Severus writes a letter to Father Christmas.

I absolutely loved writing this fic; I was sorry to see it end. So I hope you enjoy reading this at least half as much as I did writing it! Happy holidays!

Title: I Choose You
Author: echo_of_dusk
Gift Recipient goddess47
Other pairings/threesome: Past mention of Severus/Regulus
Rating: PG-13
Word count: approx. 3,300 words
Content/Warning(s): (highlight for spoilers) *Flangst*
Summary: When Harry is captured during a raid, Severus decides that he doesn’t want to keep their relationship secret anymore.
A/N: This is my first fic longer than 1000 words, so it was a bit of a challenge. Prompter asked for one arranging a special meal for the other, as well as romance, happy endings, and a bit of angst and this is what came out. I hope it’s to your liking! The title comes from the song of the same title by Sarah Bareilles, as I was listening to her new album on repeat while writing this, and it just seemed fitting.

Summary: A Slytherin’s manipulations might be subtle but they should be careful not to fall into their own trap.
A/N: Dear Recipient: I hope that this fic is close to what you had in mind while writing your prompt. You requested that Teddy write to Severus because he overheard someone saying that he was the only one who could help Harry; I did not ‘stick to the letter’ of this, but hope that my version of how Teddy came to write to Severus is still acceptable.
