FIC:
Out of the Shadows of War NC-17, 16,000 words
Summary: After an almost-kiss with Severus Snape and discovering his newly acquired magical prowess, Harry doesn't feel like he fits in anywhere. With memories of the war still fresh on his mind a year later, he decides to pay a visit to the one person he can’t seem to shake from his thoughts no matter how hard he tries.
LJ, IJ, DW

A Boy and His Broom R, 8,500 words
Summary: When Harry joins the Wasps as second reserve Seeker, he brings with him a broom that Professor McGonagall gifted him. He knows it’s a special broom, but he has no idea just how special.

The Ghost of Christmas Past PG, 2,896 words
Summary: Six Christmases, five Weasley jumpers, two accidents, a wedding, a kiss in the snow and a round-about proposal.
LJ, IJ, DW

Dragon’s Grace NC-17, 21,500 words
Summary: Unbeknownst to everyone, the Dragon Pox vaccine does more than just vaccinate against Dragon Pox. The Potters are in the middle of little Harry’s vaccinations when they must go into hiding. Fast forward to the first Task in the Triwizard Tournament, and the dragon Harry faces calls to a part of him that’s not quite as gone as it should be.
LJ, IJ, DW

Magic Knows Best NC-17, 16,051 words, Chan
Summary: Every witch or wizard coming of age was required to choose an older magical mentor, a grounder, to guide them as their powers matured. Ritualized sex magic assuring their stability after the period of maturation. Harry's choice comes as a surprise to everyone but he is merely happy to be having a normal wizarding experience now that Voldemort is gone. He should have known better, nothing with Harry could ever be normal.
LJ, IJ, DW

Confusing Christmas Eve NC-17, 9,140 words
Summary: Severus is pregnant with no memory of how he got that way and Harry, who’s in love with him, immediately becomes his protector. Throw in being Obliviated, Aurors, an Unspeakable, and the Malfoys, and everyone is confused.

His Protector NC-17, 7,800 words
Summary: The holidays can make life complicated. Or maybe it’s just Harry who has to complicate things.

Secret Snarry Swap: FIC: Confusing Christmas Eve  
Title: Confusing Christmas Eve
Author: [info]lilyseyes
Other pairings/threesome: Draco/?, Lucius/Narcissa
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 9140
Content/Warning(s): Suggestion of sexual assault (nongraphic), Mpreg, bottom!Snape
Prompter: [info]sweetmelodykiss
Prompt: #22 Severus is knocked up and doesn’t know how, but tests show that Harry is the father. Everybody’s confused and Severus thinks that he’s been somehow tricked. Harry is baffled, but also elated because he’s been in love with Snape for a long time. A very funny story would be awesome.
Summary: Severus is pregnant with no memory of how he got that way and Harry, who’s in love with him, immediately becomes his protector. Throw in being Obliviated, Aurors, an Unspeakable, and the Malfoys, and everyone is confused.
A/N: Dear prompter, I tried to work in everything you like, although I’m not sure I managed to make it funny. Thank you to badgerlady for the beta!

Secret Snarry Swap: FIC: Dragon’s Grace  
Title: Dragon’s Grace
Author: [info]magika_draconia
Other pairings/threesome:
Rating: R
Word count: just under 21,500
Content/Warning(s): Hints of a sort-of one-sided chan, but the feeling isn’t reciprocated, and anything that happens takes place when Harry is well over the age of consent.
Prompter: [info]slashwriter
Prompt: #25 Moments from death Severus Snape is saved by the grace of a dragon. For he is Dragoonal (dragonkin/dragon shifter), a royal bloodline thought gone. Soon he will awaken with the blood fury of the need to mate and fight any who stand in his way of seeing Harry, an unknown Dragoonal himself.
Summary: Unbeknownst to everyone, the Dragon Pox vaccine does more than just vaccinate against Dragon Pox. The Potters are in the middle of little Harry’s vaccinations when they must go into hiding. Fast forward to the first Task in the Triwizard Tournament, and the dragon Harry faces calls to a part of him that’s not quite as gone as it should be.
A/N: So I had the idea for this months ago, and when I (foolishly) decided to attempt my first ever NaNo this year (as you can see, I failed miserably), then this seemed like the perfect idea. When the prompts for Snarry Swap were made available, the above prompt seemed like a godsend – fitting nicely into my story. Big thanks to the mods who allowed me to use the prompt for NaNo, and also granted me the inevitable extension that came with it.

Some of the things he remembers include being taken to Prince Manor by Eileen who had been disowned for marrying a Muggle and finally meeting his grandparents for the first time. Though meeting his Da's family wasn't much better. Another holiday was spent bailing his parents out of jail. Eileen was well known to the authorities as a con artist.
Summary: Six Christmases, five Weasley jumpers, two accidents, a wedding, a kiss in the snow and a round-about proposal.
A/N: Happy holidays to all and a big thank you to the mods and to badgerlady for all the hard work they do during the busy holiday season and all year round too.

Secret Snarry Swap: FIC: Almost a Gentleman (Now in Paperback!)  
Title: Almost a Gentleman (Now in Paperback!)
Author: [info]lovetoseverus
Other pairings/threesome: Harry/Ginny (separated), Ron/Hermione
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 24,500
Content/Warning(s): Brief appearances by next-gen kids (epilogue-era)
Prompter: [info]suzuki1969
Prompt: #17 Because of (any reason, fill in the blank), Severus is forced to make Harry aware of how much Severus loves him. Despite the professed love, Severus wants nothing to do with Harry. Partly because he thinks Harry is going for the “if you can’t be with the one you love, be with the one you love most” philosophy and partly because Severus is sworn to always protect Harry, even from himself. It’s up to Harry to prove Severus wrong. And up to Severus to let himself have his heart’s desire for once in his life.
Summary: Harry is doing everything he's supposed to be doing: working a job and taking care of his wife and three kids. The problem? He's utterly unfulfilled. One day, Ron shows him a Muggle romance book with some striking (and not-so-subtle) similarities to Harry's life. Will going in search of the woman who penned these stories turn his life upside down... or right-side up?
A/N: Credit must be given to WordsConsumeHer, who came up with this plot device initially and then kindly gave me permission to use it. I know she would have taken it in a different direction, but I hope I haven’t abused it too badly. Thanks also to SnapesFavorite, for being the loveliest friend and beta a girl could ask for; to Tamzen, for helping me put Harry’s skin in the game; to Badgerlady, for valiantly trying to break me of my semicolon and hyphen habit; and to classyblue, for always being eager to hear about new stories. Merry Snarry!

Rating: PG
Word count: ~4120

Prompter: [info]suitesamba
Prompt: #31 Every year, Harry asks Severus to come to Christmas dinner at the Burrow with him. Every year, Severus declines.
Summary: Every year, Harry asks Severus to come to Christmas dinner at the Burrow with him. Every year, Severus declines. One year, Harry comes home early to a very unpleasant surprise. (NOT infidelity)
A/N: Thanks to the mods for their patience and thanks to my beta for the quick once-over. Dear prompter, I hope this meets with your approval. I hadn't planned on the middle part getting quite so angsty, but I drew from a period in my own history when there was a moment of emotional betrayal with my future husband. We worked through it, and so do Snape and Harry, so all's well that ends well. I hope every one of our Snarry readers has a happy holiday season. Title modified from the song "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley.
