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.

What a lovely, gentle story. I really loved how Harry initially learned lessons from books, but then Severus pointed out to him that simply reading a book doesn't change one's life. And personally, I found it incredibly satisfying that Harry found his family amongst non-magical people, too - I think you were really true to Harry's canon craving for 'normalcy', but in a way that didn't diminish him or substitute magical 'normalcy' for Harry's cultural reality.

And dang. I loved Hamish. *g*

KLYNIE!! *hugs the Klynster* You read my fic, I'm so happy to see you, I've missed you the entire time, like a toothache! *iz weepy*

Harry finding what he does at the end was incredibly satisfying to write, as I'm sure you can appreciate, and a family's a family, however it comes. And yeah, if books could truly change our lives, we'd all be happy and normal and affluent (and thin and immortal).

I'm in love with Robert Carlyle (the BBC Hamish). I think it's the accent.

Thanks so much for reading it, Klynie. And for stopping by. You've been missed on the comm so very much. ♥

But, but wait! You're telling me that I CAN'T become happy and normal and affluent and thin and immortal from the books I'm reading? DAMN YOU, AMAZON.COM!!! *le sigh* Must be why I like fandom so much.

*hugs you hard* I've missed you, too. Dang, Team Snitch is writing some excellent stories! And I haven't even begun to look at the artwork that's been posted - I'll get to all of that later. Prose first.

Please give everyone a huge hug for me, okay? ♥
