Content/Warning(s): Romance, Poetry, Calligraphy as art form, Librarian Harry Potter, Artist Harry Potter, Professor Severus Snape, References to Christianity, light angst, happy ending
Prompt: No. 036: Harry finds a journal filled with poetry about him hidden in the room of requirement. The journal continues to update with new entries. Someone has the twin journal and is in love with him while Harry falls in love with the author. What happens when the poet finally signs his name?
Summary: After an involuntary exile from the Wizarding World, Harry is now Assistant Librarian at Hogwarts and part-time artist. Who is the poet of the Hogwarts-inspired verses he is creating art for?
Beginning A/N: So. This was created on the deadest of deadlines, finished in an all-night (mara)thon [haha] on the day of submission. I hope it's not too messy...It's certainly not as well-researched as I'd like it to be, but, well. Also, it ran far, far away from the original Thon prompt, though I hope it's sufficiently in its spirit for you, dear prompter, to still like it.

Many thanks to: Klari for all your ideas, your beta work, and for allowing me to quote your Quidditch Blitz, titC, for also giving me so many ideas, and for your beta work, and Qtap and Cheerful_Clatter for your late-night betaing sessions. Torino, Thon mod, for granting me this extension, and for your endless patience and for your encouragement, and all of you who groaned and cheered through this with me. This work would never have been possible without you. For the full list of prompts this is inspired by, see end notes.

Title: Tuesdays
Author: Ms_SackvilleWest
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 58,927
Content/Warning(s): Tags: Snape is a yoga teacher, Mental health, Depression, Grief, Self-discovery, Healing, Japan, Meditation, Extremely slow burn, Minor character death, No smut
Prompt: Wildcard 1 – (2019)
After the war, Harry just can’t seem to hold on to a job. Whether it's because he’s having flashbacks, or he just can’t get his mind in the right mood, or something else. But everybody around him keeps encouraging him to do at least something, since it is a Wizarding tradition to add to society, not just loaf around. Snape can’t even get a job, making him destitute. Then Harry and Snape meet, a few years after the war. What will Wizarding society think of what will happen next?
Summary: "Take this," Severus thrust the scrap of paper forward.

The boy took it, glanced at it and looked back up in annoyance. "I can't read it."

It took all of his self-control not to roll his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't. It's Japanese."

"I don't – "

"You," he held up a hand to silence Potter, "will go home and book a Portkey, or a flight, I do not care which, to Kyoto. Yes, that is in Japan. And you will not come back until you have stayed there for at least three months. Do I make myself clear?"

A post-war story of self-discovery, grief, healing, and finding one's path – in the most unexpected of places.
A/N: This is a gentle, meandering journey of self-discovery. A tale of snow falling on eaves, of birdsong in the forest, of inhaling and exhaling. Of the quiet of a yoga studio, and Harry and Severus each finding their own path.

It is not a whirlwind romance with an action-packed plot and plenty of porn. But, perhaps, it will be exactly what you are looking for.

Thank you to the mods for organising this brilliant fest, and to Arrisha for believing in me – without you, this would never have been written.

Hippocrates460 sowed the seeds to this story years ago, when they made me laugh out loud with the tags to their story 'Andrew, 38'. "One day," I thought, "I'll write a yoga-teacher-Snape story too. Because I love how, in fandom, anything is possible."

Summary: This was definitely not the show he had signed up for.

Content/Warning(s): fanart / digital art / mermaid Harry / mermaid Severus / creatures / Harry is over 18
Prompt: 38: Mermaid/Siren Harry
Summary: Mermaid / Mermen lovers Severus and Harry.
A/N: I got inspired to make random art, I don’t know what the story of it might be, though… Perhaps they are betrothed, but then Harry gets trapped in a fisherman’s net, taken ashore, and turned human. He forgets his love for Severus, but not his love for the sea… and Severus has to decide whether to become human himself and try to woo him again… Yes, maybe that would be the story! Maybe I’ll write that, to accompany this art, one day.
Thank you Mods for running this wonderful fest!

Title: Flight of Dreams
Author: SerenaEW
Other pairings/threesome: none
Rating: T / PG-13
Word count: 3917 words
Content/Warning(s): Creature inheritance, Creature mates, Dreams, getting together, fluff, sweetness, a bit of angst, Post-Canon/Epilogue what epilogue, Professor Harry Potter, Professor Severus Snape, wizarding legends, soft Severus Snape
Prompter/Prompt: No. 15 from themightyflynn: Snape comes into a late creature inheritance once Harry comes of age. He tries to deny it, but is ultimately drawn back to his mate.
Summary: There is truth in every legend, they say. It is a truth Severus has been feeling painfully since Harry Potter's return to Hogwarts as Defence Against the Dark Arts assistant professor.
It is a truth he sees every night in his dreams.
It is a truth his mother, Eileen Prince, has been telling him since his childhood.
His Chosen One is waiting for him.
A/N: Dear prompter: It seems my idea ran away from the original prompt a little here - I hope you still enjoy it! This is actually my second idea, since the first one turned out... Not feasible with the time at hand. I am planning to write it one day, though. One day.
This fic would not have been possible without a literal army of people supporting me through my frustrated screaming. R., thank you for your support! W. and I., thank you for your spontaneous and quick beta work, your tagging, and I., your summary help. C., even though I couldn't use the primary idea this time, I'd like to thank you for your immense help. Your ideas and suggestions are absolutely top-notch. Every time.
And thank you so much to the mods, especially Torino, for organising this, and for your patience!
I know I'm butchering the original Ancient Greek concept of Diipetes here - I hope you can forgive me for that. Also, one scene is strongly influenced by AUctoberfest prompt 2022-05 (a soulmate bond manifesting through healing touch).
Alright, enough waffling. Have fun!

Summary: Headmaster Severus Snape wants the best for the students at Hogwarts which is why he encourages Professor Potter to study Wizarding traditions. Unfortunately for him when Harry needs a practical lesson of Courtships he’s the perfect candidate.
A/N: I’m not an expert on Yule traditions. All wizarding traditions featured come from my imagination and google.

Summary: Just before closing time on Christmas Eve, Harry Potter stopped to pick up an order from the village plumbing supply shop. The last person he ever expected to meet in one of the aisles was Severus Snape.
A/N: Written for Secret Snarry Swap 2022.
All characters depicted herein in adult situations may safely be assumed to be over eighteen.

Prompt: Harry has nearly finished his auror training, there is just one test he has yet to pass, a single duel combat with the ministry's best dualist. But when Harry gets ready to fight he hesitates when he comes face to face with the one he had believed to have been dead since the war, snarry ending.
Summary: Harry has his future figured out, with one last duel remaining before he joins the Elite Auror Detective Squad. A long thought dead ex-pat veteran obliterated his carefully crafted plans.

Rating: Teen
Word count: 5,350
Content/Warning(s): None
Prompt: No. 47: Right after the war, Harry and Snape had an affair, but Snape ended things because he thought Harry was too young. It's a few years later and Harry is now a proper Auror in a committed relationship with another man, and work forces Snape to re-enter his life. Now Snape has to watch Harry be happy and in love while desperately pining for him. No infidelity or evil!boyfriend please.
Summary: The Granger-Weasley wedding brings Potter back to the castle with his paramour, Oliver Wood, in tow. Severus doesn't care at all. Really, he doesn't. Even if his own history with Potter won't quite stay in the past.
A/N: This was an incredibly fun prompt to work with. A few details didn't quite make it into the story, but I hope I did it justice! Many thanks to Molls for the beta–any remaining mistakes are entirely my own.

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.

Title: Glaringly Ineffective
Author: drwritermom
Other pairings/threesome: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: T
Word count: 4170
Content/Warning(s): M/M committed relationship, mild mental health issues, implied mpreg
Prompter/Prompt: No. 24 from alpharoyal2: Severus gets hit with the most foulest of curses — the glareus ineffectivus — which cripples him. Feel free to come up what the actual name and effects of the curse could be...
Summary: Severus Snape is at his wits end with the Hufflepuffs. Hufflepuff House is ready to revolt over the escalating punishments the House of the Badgers are receiving. Poppy Pomfrey believes the morally dubious Glareus Ineffectivus will diffuse the tension, which is causing the professor physical pain, and she enlists his partner, Harry Potter, to cast it, surreptitiously. Harry fears this will not be enough, so he silently casts an additional morally grey spell upon the Potions classroom itself. Gobstones started this mess, what on Earth will end it? Only Lady Magic knows.
A/N: I own nothing of the Potterverse, I just play in the Hogwarts sandbox. My muse was very stubborn, it wanted more backstory and a little bit of revolt. Badgers are tenacious, they can take it. And the inner monologue, I am sorry, giftee, Severus was stubbornly silent. Until he wasn’t. You’ll see. I hope you enjoy the journey.
