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.

Harry bit his lower lip. "Listen, if he does show up today, you wouldn't just open the box and settle things without me here…and then leave, would you?" he asked anxiously. "I wouldn't want to come back and find that you've gone."

Severus tried to resist the feeling, but it was there all the same: he was touched.

--------
"That," Severus said in a low voice at Harry's ear, "is what you deserve. Each and every time. Don't forget it. Here endeth the lesson," he murmured.

And for reasons that Severus understood perfectly, Harry cried.
------
Sliding his arms up, Severus pulled Harry out of his chair, and after a slightly awkward moment, had him in his lap. "We both get what we want," he murmured at his ear. "And deserve."

These quotes barely scratch the surface of why I so loved this fic. Tender, heartbreaking, sweet, with Snape's sarcasm intact. And, and, and...Jullian! *cries*

Yes, my eyes were bright with tears so many times as I read this. A thousand thanks to you for writing this soon-to-be Snarry classic.

It's always nice to see what specific things/lines/scenes a reader liked in particular. I really did enjoy writing that 'lesson' scenario. :)

I'm so pleased you liked the story so much, that it touched you the way it did. And I'm so glad you liked Juilan! I liked him too. :)

Thanks for the investment of your time to read this, and for leaving such thoughtful comments--it means a great deal to me.
