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.

Oh, there is nothing I like more than a mystery and I love the way this story unfolds. The dialogue and pacing is excellent and I'm so impressed by all those little flashes of characterization genius that just pop up seemly at random but always make me think, "Of course! This makes so much sense and why didn't I ever realize this before?"

I really felt for poor Harry. What you put that boy through! Your Snape and Harry always have such a hard row to hoe, but you make it worthwhile in the end. If only they both weren't so damaged things would be much less complicated between them. But probably less rewarding as well.

The unusual occupations were another stroke of genius. Snape's, especially, is perfect. Like everyone else, I'll be waiting for Amazon to put those audiobooks up for sale. Who knows? I might be tempted to actually listen to the classics. ;D

Great job, el Capitan!

Yeah, I guess damaged goods are always more interesting to write about, and offer more possibilities when forming/resolving a relationship. Part of the challenge of Snarry.

Glad you liked the story, and I appreciate your help with it when it was first posted to the comm, really. If I ever see those audiobooks on Amazon, I'll be sure to let you know. :)

Thanks for taking the time to comment; it's appreciated.
