Title: Sex, Lies, and Audiobooks
Author: RaeWhit joanwilder
Team: Snitch!
Genre(s): Alive and Kicking (EWE)
Prompt(s): Secrets and Lies, Coming Home
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NC-17; Highlight if you wish to know: * *mild bondage, whipping, There is a 213 word scene in this 48,000 word story that describes a non-Snarry aborted one-off. As it has offended someone, I'm adding this warning.**

Author Notes/Disclaimers/Betas A/N: The village of Lochdubh and its inhabitants in this story are the property of BBC Scotland (from the series Hamish Macbeth). All things Harry Potter belong to J.K. Rowling et al.
The snarry_games have the best Mods in fandom—they've worked so hard for years to give all of us such a supportive environment in which to play—thank you! Also, my heartfelt appreciation to jadzialove for the excellent beta reading, to whitecotton for help with Scottish-izing my Scottish, and to sestra_prior for her assistance with British questions. Team Snitch, thanks for your input, your team spirit, and your love of Snarry. It's been a privilege and honor to cavort with you all and wield my big stick. Lastly, I'd be remiss if I didn't express my appreciation to Rudyard Kipling for his masterpiece, Captains Courageous.

Summary: Belonging and deserving, needing and wanting—desires of the human heart that Severus and Harry must face when they're forced to the little village of Lochdubh to settle a very late codicil of Albus Dumbledore's will.

I get to be the first commentor (if I hurry)!!! (I read it already!)

(I did notice the mods posted the Captain of each team's stories on the same day.) ;)

And this is one of those stories that I will definitely reread a multitude of times. Let me confess, I have done it already. I get antsy over crossovers, particularly when I'm not at all familiar with the new characters. Clearly, my fears where unfounded. You wrote them so well I didn't need to be.

But it was Snape's lesson to Harry that got under my skin and stayed that way long, long after I read it. I weeped. God, how I loved to be moved in a scene to that level, but to have a sex scene be that touching (lets not forget to mention sizzling as well) and that deeply emotional...wow. You took lovemaking to a level that I have truly rarely read before. Who could blame Harry for crying afterward? I cried right along with him. There will be lots of people who post far better comments than I. I wish I could find the words to explain how that scene touched me.

I loved how they both got what they both so desperately needed AND wanted at the end. It was beautifully written. Heck...this is YOU. That's hardly a surprise to anybody. ;)

	I was first when I started to comment, but figured I wouldn't be by the time I finished. Story was too good to throw in a one-line comment just so I could claim first place in the comment list. (If this were DW, now... I could edit my comment, so I could reply with "FIRST!" and then go back & add an actual reply.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's not truly a crossover, though, just put it in Lochdubh and borrowed Hamish for a few scenes. :) Yeah, that lesson was the turning point for both of them, I think, and as for the sex, after writing Snarry for years, I wanted it to be a bit 'different', so I'm glad you liked it. Awww, you made me blush, go on! I'm so glad you liked it, hon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
