Title: Sing A Mad Rebellion
Author: femmequixotic
Team: Cauldron
Genre: Alive and Kicking
Prompts: Secrets and Lies, Assassination
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NC-17, *Non-Snarry pairing (non-explicit), het mentions, bisexuality, minor character death, politics, semi-epilogue compliance, violence*
Word Count: ~56,000
Author Notes/Disclaimers/Betas: A huge thank you to my betas noeon and goseaward, and much gratitude to Noe for coaxing this story into being. Massive thanks also to the mods for their patience.
This fic owes a great debt to such works as Orwell's 1984, Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, the film The Manchurian Candidate and the works of John LeCarre, all of which in some manner provided inspiration for the conception and writing of the story. Danny Foster (and his wife Kirsty) are taken from the BBC series Party Animals which revolves around the lives of young Labour and Conservative political researchers and lobbyists. Nemworth Interrogation Unit and various other MI5-related elements are taken from or influenced by the BBC series Spooks. In addition, I must give major props to the highly informative and incredibly helpful factsheets hosted on the website of the United Kingdom Parliament, which, when printed, fill two reams of paper and a four-inch binder. The title is a nod toward a fragment of verse by John Taylor.


Summary: The State Security Forces come not in the middle of a dark night as one might expect, but on a bright, sunshiny Sunday morning just after the sausages are set on the kitchen table.

Thank you to the Mods for granting me extension after extension, for being exceedingly patient, and for running this lovely fest.

Additionally, I owe a debt to Granada Television, the late Jeremy Brett, David Burke, Edward Hardwicke, Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson for keeping me sane during the process. And last, but definitely not least, to the snarry_games mods, massive thanks for your patience again and your willingness to extend my deadline to the outer limits. The characters in this fic belong to JK Rowling and her various business associates and not to me. Lyrics quoted are from Carrickfergus (trad. music of unknown author), and Like A Prayer (words and music by Madonna and Patrick Leonard)

A/N: Tons of people to thank. The mods for being so patient with me as I struggled to finish and get this edited. Femme and Djinnj for their cheerleading and betas and saving me from making some disastrous mistakes. :D My sister and Delta both for not letting me give up this story.


Summary: With the guilt of his sister's death hanging over him, Lord St. Gryff embarks on a treacherous adventure impersonating his sister not realizing that the subterfuge will forever change his life when he meets the dark and mysterious Lord Snape. As he finds himself falling more and more for the enigmatic man, the fear that the lies their relationship is built on will come crashing down increases.

Scorned by society for wartime actions that no one for sure knows are true, Lord Snape has no recourse but to marry a proper young lady and beget an heir as quickly as possible. When his some times ally but most times enemy suggests the sister of a friend who might understand his peculiar preferences, he thinks he's found the answer, but has he?

You were all wonderful and I had a blast working with you! Without all of your help, this story would have looked like a royal mess.
Also, this story was finished before Torchwood: Children of Earth aired in the US, so there are absolutely NO spoilers for the third series at all. No worries for those who have yet to see it to be spoiled the way I was, promise!

While testing a special Time-Turner that can move both forwards and backwards in Time, Harry and Severus have an accident and find themselves in the middle of the underground facilities of Torchwood. They soon find out that these strange Muggles can help them track their killer and solve the crime.
