We hope you enjoyed all of the fabulous stories, art and podfic posted this year. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this year's Snarry-a-Thon a fun fest for all of us. So, to all the creators, our fantastic fest beta, badgerlady, and especially to everyone who read and commented! THANK YOU!

This has been an amazing fest for Snarry fen everywhere and we couldn't be more pleased. But eventually all good things must come to an end, and so, with this post, Snarry-a-Thon21 has officially come to a close. All artist and author names have been added to the individual posts. If you notice any errors, please let us know!

If you still haven't got caught up, remember that it's never too late to leave some love for the author or artist.

Title: Reveal Your Secrets [ART]
Artist: LamLinh
Rating: G
Media: Pencil
Summary: Severus felt helpless as he allowed Harry to work—but oddly enough, he didn't mind it. A dreamlike stupor had stolen over him. What he saw through his wet lashes was the painting of the volcano on the wall; when he closed his eyes, he saw colors against the dark undersides of his lids, an eruption of them, soft and bright and dancing slowly with his heartbeat.
A/N: For the author of Reveal Your Secrets. I love it far more than I can possibly describe in words, so I found another way to. (Or at least I hope I did.) Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story. Ver 01 is the original, ver 02 is the blur effect added as hot steam.

Title: Aftermath
Author: avioleta
Reader and Cover Artist: JocundaSykes
Other pairings/threesome: None
Rating: Explicit/NC-17
Content/Warning(s): Underage
Prompt: No. 114: “Harry saves Severus’s life during the final battle. But powerful magic has powerful consequences. Now Voldemort is dead and Harry and Severus are both alive, but they are now…connected—whether Severus likes it or not. Or, how life debts are horridly inconvenient.”
Length: 2 hours
File Size: 94 MB
Link to Text: AO3 link
Summary: They’ve always been connected. After all, there’s too much history, too much magic between them. And while Severus never expected to survive the war, now that he’s alive, he thinks it makes some sort of strange sense that he’d be here with Harry Potter.
Mod Note: While most of the entries in the fest are anonymous, the nature of this contribution means that it is not.

( Aftermath )

We've got two very special entries before tomorrow's reveals and master list.

The two upcoming pieces were both inspired by entries in the current fest--one of which, by necessity, reveals one of the creators in advance of reveals.

We hope you enjoy them!

We're nearly done! Three weeks down and a few more surprises in store next week! Thanks to everyone reading and commenting. The authors and artists really appreciate it!

Also, we're looking for recs! And if you want to let us know that you've recced any Snarry-a-Thon fic or art on your journal in an unlocked post or on Tumblr, comment to this post, or drop us an e-mail at the mod email (spfestmod@gmail.com). Anything that collects enough recs will be forwarded to the newsletters and all recs will be forwarded to the authors/artists. Thanks!

We're a little over halfway through this year's fest! Thanks to everyone reading and commenting. The authors and artists really appreciate it!

Also, we're looking for recs! And if you want to let us know that you've recced any Snarry-a-Thon fic or art on your journal in an unlocked post or on Tumblr, comment to this post, or drop us an e-mail at the mod email (spfestmod@gmail.com). Anything that collects enough recs will be forwarded to the newsletters and all recs will be forwarded to the authors/artists. Thanks!

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


ART:
•Pitidaka - NC-17, NSFW
Summary: As Garrison notes, acrobatic sex doesn't necessarily equate to pleasurable sex. The Piditaka position is a comfortable, laid-back position that has the benefit of being incredibly pleasurable. In this position, your partner lies on their back and pulls their knees into their chest, resting their feet on your chest as you kneel in front of them. With your knees on either side of their hips, you raise their hips onto your thighs and enter them.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Fairy Dust Allergy - G, SFW
Summary: On his path through the forbidden forest to collect ingredients only found by moonlight, Severus crosses paths with a tiny, annoying fairy who is inexplicably enamored with his huge nose, much to Severus' chagrin (and fairy dust allergy.)
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3


MUSIC:
•Bach’s Cello Suite in G major, Prelude - G
Summary: This is a companion piece to “Bach’s Cello Suite in G major.” It is literally the cello suite, glitches and all, as played by Severus as he serenaded Harry, the morning after Harry’s arrival. It was played with plenty of heart, soul, and a wee too much caffeine. He meant well.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3


FIC:
•Rushed Reactions - G, 5,700 words
Summary: A trio of Hogwarts students take on investigating a possible relationship between two of their professors after they see an article in the paper.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Kindness Soothes the Troubled Soul - PG-13, 1,600 words
Summary: Severus Snape left St. Mungo's physically healed, but with extensive emotional anguish. Many come together to anonymously soothe his soul, showing him the kindness he sorely lacked.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Lost and Found - NC-17, 38,826 words
Summary: Harry only has one New Year’s resolution: to move on from his life with Severus. The only thing Richard wants is for customers to stop disturbing him so that he can be alone with his books.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•The Sheltering Trees - G, 7,800 words
Summary: Severus meets an unexpected resident of the Forbidden Forest while harvesting potions ingredients. What’s this about an acromantula infestation?
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•A Transaction - PG-13, 6,485 words
Summary: Harry returned from King's Cross and defeated Voldemort. But there was a price to be paid.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3

•Hawthorn Branches in Spring - PG-13, 37,500 words
Summary: Harry returns to Hogwarts to finish school properly and sit for his NEWTs. He doesn't expect Snape to be back teaching, nor their old animosity to resurface. When it is pointed out to him that he is responsible for it, he sets out to change their relationship for the better. The results have more of an impact on him than he expected.
LJ, IJ, DW, AO3


FIC & ART:
•The Potters - NC-17, 7,200 words
Summary: Severus discovers he has, in fact, not died, and neither has Harry. He had accepted his fate—dying to protect the boy he loved, even though his own demise was inevitable. Their mutual survival did not feel like a blessing…but a curse. Now Severus would have to watch as Harry lived the life of a hero—adored, worshipped by many. Many far more desirable, tolerable, beautiful than Severus ever would be.

Severus thought he could live without him, and maybe he could, especially with all the ‘Potters’ just waiting to be ravished.

That would be enough. It had to be enough.

Title: Bach’s Cello Suite in G major, Prelude
Artist: drwritermom
Other pairings/threesome: Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley (past), Mystery Weasley/Harry Potter (VERY UNREQUITED)
Rating: G
Media: Audio instrumental performance
Content/Warning(s): issues with intonation and tempo, Snape is NOT a Cello Master!
Prompt: No. 1
Summary: This is a companion piece to “Bach’s Cello Suite in G major.” It is literally the cello suite, glitches and all, as played by Severus as he serenaded Harry, the morning after Harry’s arrival. It was played with plenty of heart, soul, and a wee too much caffeine. He meant well.
A/N: This MA played violin for years during my formative years, but stopped after starting premed in college. It took 37 years for me to pick up my instrument again, and another year (July, 2020) before staring lessons on the viola (it’s more difficult to play than violin). I decided to up the difficulty level to NEWT level, by turning my student viola into a chin cello, which is basically a viola with cello strings. This is what I, oops, SNAPE, played in this recording. Any mistakes made just magnify Snape’s amateur status. I’m gonna claim I strived for authenticity, and I delivered!

(Bach’s Cello Suite in G major, Prelude--performed by Severus Snape)

Summary: This is a second companion piece to “Bach’s Cello Suite in G major”. It is literally the cello suite, glitches and all, as played by Harry as he serenaded Severus at their bonding reception.
A/N: For what it’s worth, recording oneself is difficult, it brings out the adrenaline until one's fingers are tripping over each other. At this stage of Harry’s musical education, he’d trip over his fingers during his first performance, so I decided to cease further recording for authenticity.

A/N: This might not be something that one will expect from this prompt. Myself included. I just hope beyond hope that this will come out not too terrible.
