Prompt: Severus must find and drag a hiding-in-the-muggle-world Harry back to the wizarding world before his 19th birthday due to? (Betrothment contract, inheritance clause on Potter/Black fortune, creature inheritance - your choice)
Summary: The clear blue skies of the Pacific isles were initially a welcome sight but five days of clear blue skies and unrelenting heat were wearing. At least to him. Severus didn't plan to stay long enough to get used to it.
A/N: While I didn't specifically say, I have Harry at about age 25 here. He needed time to be away from the wizarding world for a bit and 19 didn't let him have that. But thank you for a fun prompt!

Prompter/Prompt: No. 27: Severus lives in the owlery. Nothing could be better than breathing in the fresh highland air, with no teaching, no marking, no stress. Long days of snoozing with his head under his wing follows peaceful nights of swooping over the trees of the Forbidden Forest. This peace lasts until Harry Potter comes looking for a school barn owl, notices Severus, and adopts him.
Summary: Grumpy, wants to be left alone, makes no secret of this… Hmm, Harry could almost be describing Professor Snape. But no, it’s just an owl. Should be easy to make friends with. …Right?

Rating: Gen
Word count: around 10,500
Content/Warning(s): none
Prompter/Prompt: No. 45 from prayer_at_night: Sports AU - It's Severus' last chance to win an Olympic medal, four years later he'll be too old, and with his refined technique he feels these Olympics will be his. But up-and-coming Harry Potter, who wins his competitions with pure raw talent and zero technique or plan, is his biggest rival for the top.
Summary: Even if he isn’t actually competing this time, Harry Potter is still looking forward to attending these Olympics. And presumably so is Severus Snape. Even if he never actually says so.
A/N: This can be read as a stand-alone but it’s also a sequel, which I’d been wanting to write for ages, so if things seem familiar, don’t panic, they aren’t stolen ;) Additional notes at the end.

Title: The Great House-Elf Mistletoe Revolt
Author: pluperfectsunrise
Other pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Luna Lovegood
Rating: General
Word count: 2209
Content/Warnings: None
Prompter/Prompt: No. 61 from acid: This is far from a fairytale, but they are, apparently, trapped in an ancient castle, and Hogwarts seems to have a mind of its own, and a copious supply of enchanted mistletoe.
Summary:
The Snape had no plans to stop Christmas from coming,
To halt all the singing and humming and drumming,
But he greeted it all with the grimmest of frowns,
The lights and the bells and the bright paper crowns.
He loomed and he fumed, complaining and stewing.
He gloomed and he doomed. He'd rather be brewing.

…A Snarry Christmas rhyme.

A/N: This was also highly influenced by Prompt No. 57 from hippocrates460: Severus is the Grinch. And just by Dr. Seuss in general, from whom I've snatched phrases here and there. Um…did I set out to write a children's rhyme when I took the prompt? Nope, but here it is. Thank you, wonderful mods! And thank you, prompter! Even if it's not what you expected, I hope you like it.

Title: Silas Barnaby and the Green-Eyed Dragon Boy
Author: suitesamba
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: Everyone
Word count: 13,240
Content/Warning(s): Intentional use of magic against an unwilling subject for his own good.
Prompter/Prompt: No. 23 from Anakletos: Severus would love to think that once night falls exhibits come to life, but no, night and day they never shut up. And colleagues think him crazy because they don't see it, refuse to believe him. But it's true. Especially the green-eyed man inside a painting, who winks at him when he passes it by.
Summary: Silas Barnaby enjoys a perfectly ordinary life as a museum guard in York and – until these last weeks, at least – did not see spectacled cats, ghosts in graveyards or heads in fireplaces. What’s more, the green-eyed man in the portrait is definitely not winking at him. A tale of sacrifice, forgiveness and people who aren’t at all what they seem.
A/N: Thank-you to my friends accioslash and badgerlady for the pre-reads and SPaG and for helping me keep my mind off politics while I wrote about a blue bicycle. Thanks also to AlessNox, my beta from the Fandom Trumps Hate 2020 Auction, who was instrumental in helping me put this story together coherently and in keeping the characters in character. And of course, thanks to the mods, who (I presume) did not drop dead when I turned this story in early and who should not expect that this surprising pattern will continue.

Title: The Summoning
Artist: Acid
Other pairings/threesome: n/a
Rating: PG
Media: Art
Content/Warning(s): n/a
Prompt: Sad premise, but feel free to give it a happy ending: the Shrieking Shack has always had a reputation for being haunted, but all the usual suspects are dead. Harry finally goes to investigate when he hears the rumor that a man dressed in black lives there now. Of course, it's Snape's ghost, trapped in a disintegrating house and half-mad with loneliness, and Harry spends more and more time there keeping him company.
Summary: Harry is haunted by his memories of Snape, and the everyday glimpses of the doe Patronus. As he makes a difficult decision to bring Snape back from the dead, he soon realises he is entirely out of his element. Will the ritual whispered to him even work?
A/N: The verses used are a partial quote of this poem.

Prompter/Prompt: No. 13 from lilyseyes: As New Year’s Eve approaches, no one has heard form Harry. When Severus grudgingly checks on him, he finds Harry ill/injured and must care for him.
Summary: Severus Snape is a man with two faces: the one he wears as Headmaster of Hogwarts, and the real one that only he and his house-elf are privy to. Until Harry Potter comes to Hogwarts, that is, then Severus has to decide which face is more important.
A/N: Thank you to the prompter. I know it isn’t quite what you asked for, but I’m hoping it’ll do. Merry Christmas.
