Title: Return Of The Snape
Artist: snakeysnape
Team: Snitch (Ballz, we got 'em!)
Genre(s): GenderBender/Crossdressing, Fandom Crossovers/Fusion
Prompt(s): Last Hope
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: PG13; Highlight if you wish to know: * Avoid if you are sensitive to latex or allergic to hairy guys in harem costumes. Contains 100 % industrial strength crack. Not to be taken with food or drink as there is some risk of choking and/or snorting diet Pepsi out your nose. (Ouch!) Also not to be taken seriously. May be hazardous to the health of your computer, not to mention your mind, should you ignore these precautions. If you experience any side effects, take two naked Snapes and call me in the morning. Accidental overdose may be countered with canon. Or laser cannon. Repeatedly. Oh, and I am NOT responsible. :evil grin: For anything.*
Artist's Notes/Disclaimers/Thank you to DISCLAIMER: The Harry Potter universe and its recognizable characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Warner Films. Star Wars belongs to George Lucas. This is a work of fan art from which no profit is made.
A/N: Having discovered (in Episode V: The Death Eaters Strike Back) that Nagini's venom is only deadly to males, Severus The Sky Walker takes a temporary gender switching potion, enabling him to survive an otherwise fatal trap. What he does not know is that one of the elixir's rare ingredients was contaminated, turning him into a true hermaphrodite. It also activates any latent Creature genes the user might have ... and the change is permanent.

( Returning to his home world of Slytherin in search of a cure, Severus must rescue the Rebel Order's only remaining hope of destroying the Dark Lord, Voldemort, from the harem of Malfoy The Slutt. But will the Boy Who Is Badly Disguised As A Princess even recognize his hero and secret love in this beguiling new shape? )

Title: If Only
Author: jadzialove
Team: Snitch!
Genre(s): Time Travel
Prompt(s): Consequences, Seeking Knowledge
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: Rated NC17; Highlight if you wish to know: *EWE, Character Death(s) ... sort of ... but not really .... You'll see, just trust me. Brief, non-explicit, non-Snarry pairing.*
Word Count: ~13,500
Author Notes/Disclaimers/Betas: In this tale you will find bits of dialogue from the books. Specifically (and in order of appearance), an excerpt from the chapter of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix called, Snape's Worst Memory and from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Chapter Eight, called, Flight of the Fat Lady. So I must credit J.K. Rowling with that, as well as Harry Potter's world in its entirety (I do not own Harry Potter, he owns me.). As this story is Snape's POV, only the actual dialogue was borrowed, and in both instances, not the entire thing, since the time lines are altered. Hopefully this will make sense after you've read it. Huge Thank Yous to: our esteemed Capitan, joanwilder for her SuperBeta skillz, and for once again taking the reins and being our fearless leader; to blamebrampton for Brit-picking and wordsmithing as well as her knowledge of 1970s London; to veridian_dair & torino10154 for early reading, inspiration (art! even), and general encouragement; and to Team Snitch for the sharp eyes and support. Biggest thanks of all go to DJ and the other Games Mods for inviting me to play! It's been awesome. Thank you!


Summary: Things look rather dire for Severus Snape, until he awakens in a strange room, where he learns 'What Might Have Been' and whether or not he has the mettle to embrace 'What Could Be'.

Author Notes/Disclaimers/Betas Thanks to jadzialove for being the best sidekick beta evar, cleaning up parts 1-3. joanwilder, aka Alfred, hit all of it, especially part 4, with a batarang of spag. All italicized bumper quotes from The Tick: The Animated Series.


Summary: There's a man stalking the Wizarding world. Or a bat. Maybe a Man-Bat. Severus is probably having an affair, Harry's tired all the time, oh, and those drunks out in East Anglia are complaining about the green lights. Again.

o My undying thanks and blocks of rich dark chocolate go to Aseneth, RaeWhit, and White Cotton for their kick-ass beta. May we all grow old gracefully and wear purple.

o Snape's famous potionmaking speech is quoted directly from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by JK Rowling, American Version, First Edition. Other passages from that same scene have been paraphrased as needed.
o No octogenarians were harmed in the creation of this story. Anything you don't recognise as canon is probably mine. No money, no harm, no foul.

Word Count: 48,000+
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.
