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'm not a huge fan of crossovers so I started this with some trepidation...allayed, of course, by the fact that *you* are the author and I'll read anything you write and probably love it *vbeg* I found that, unlike many, you didn't overemphasize the connection/crossover points between the series. (I'm sure it helps that I love Hamish Macbeth!) The only downside was the Julian connection seemed a little contrived - more forced than your usual. The quotes however were absolutely brilliantly woven in and I loved them. Outstanding work as usual.

Glad you liked it overall. You'll note that Crossover wasn't one of my genres, as this wasn't a crossover. I could've easily substituted the name 'Kyle Klach' for Hamish's, and 'Plockton' for 'Lochdubh', and no one would've been the wiser, because I was very careful to actually make these appear as if they could be eccentric, but original, concepts. I'm not a huge fan of crossovers either, and intentionally avoided the genre.

Julian was a shock, and came near the end of the story. Shocks to readers often appear contrived. I had one other reader who was disappointed by this development, but it stemmed more from a desire to see Severus and Harry only needing each other than the feeling that it didn't fit.

Thanks so much for reading; I'm glad you liked the book element; that was great fun for me. Appreciate that you read, and that you stopped by to tell me!
