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.

You, are Amazing. I always love your stories, but I believe this one might be my new favorite (or tied for first : ). I absolutely love both the Snape and Harry you've portrayed here -- they are perfect. so very much *them* as I like to imagine them. There were so many moments where I thought god, if only I could write dialogue between them like that! Harry's pain is palpable, but the tension/issues have just the right balance to them -- not overblown, while still having weight. Oh, and I love the idea of Severus reading for audiobooks, and harry, outside the door... *sighs*
Really beautiful story, Thank you!

*Blushes* Isn't it funny how two authors can be so envious of each other's abilities? You know what I mean. I'm glad to hear that it didn't come off as too overblown or heavy, because I did have a concern about that.

The audiobooks, I've had that idea for ages, and was just waiting for an opportunity to use it; unfortunately, I had to also build a plot, but hey, I managed.

Thanks so much, synn, for stroking me so nice. It means a great deal to me when another author whom I respect so much likes something that I write.

	unfortunately, I had to also build a plot, Plot? Who needs plot?! Actually, that's one of the things I envy about your writing -- you come up with such great plots : ) It means a great deal to me when another author whom I respect so much likes something that I write. I know exactly what you mean. (Reply to this) (Parent)
