Giftee: femmequixotic
Word Count: Approximately 4,700
Rating: Approximately PG-13 (but there is some swearing and some implied naughtyness)
Pairing: Why, Harry and Severus, of course.
Warnings: AU, AR, Severus and Harry living as Muggles, existential ramblings, attempts at high-concept meta, disregard of the epilogue entirely, and a few bad words.

Summary: What is love but a contrivance? Let us, gentle reader, deconstruct love and determine for ourselves what it is and what it isn't.
Author's Notes My dearest Femme, it's not at all what you could imagine, I think, but it is earnestly given to someone who I think—above all—will understand what it is truly trying to say. There is desperate kissing against walls and the hint of, "Oh my god, I have to fuck you NOW!" So hopefully those elements will soothe any potential discontent. Happiest of Holidays to you. Much thanks to my fantastic beta and to the mods for being incredibly patient.

Title: The Rock Collection
Artist: zephre
Giftee: thesewarmstars
Media/Medium: Photoshop
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Warnings: none.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Harry would have to send Eileen a thank-you gift for her courtship advice; he would never have thought to add this particular rock to Severus's collection on his own.
Artist's Notes: thesewarmstars asked for Snape to have a collecting habit that Harry could find out about. In addition to the actual crystal Harry adds to Snape's collection, he gives a Muggle sweet found in seaside towns, one that usually has the name of the town or resort written in sugar on the inside. This 'rock' has been doctored for Harry's particular purposes. ;) Since I like the idea of Harry and Severus's mum conspiring to make him happy, I'm thinking it's one of Severus's childhood favorites and she clued Harry in.

Title: The First Shared Yule...
Artist: accio_kilt

Media/Medium: Began with pencil drawings of everything, then put it all together in Adobe Photoshop.
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snarry, of course!
Warnings: M/M
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: The Professors Snape-Potter celebrate their first Yule as a bonded couple.
Artist's Notes: *glares at fic muse* First of all, I'd like to apologize to pepper202 (and the great Snarry Hols mods), for this being late... My art muse was bound and gagged by my fic muse, and the art took on a life of its own, all too similarly to my fic. (I can't write a short one-shot to save my life!) Hence, 3 weeks of work later, 2 days late, and 100+ layers in APS... here it is... I refuse to look at it for at least a week. I'm afraid I will find a million things wrong with it. But, it's been a challenge, and I battled the Dark Lord APS and won (learning tons in the process!). Now my hand and my brain deserve a rest. *whew* *frees art muse and puts fic muse in time out*

Title: Seen in Each Other's Company
Author: entrenous88
Giftee: thescarletwoman
Word Count: 7,606 words.
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Severus Snape/Harry Potter
Warnings: Overuse of truffled quail eggs and smoked trout canapés.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Severus Snape will put up with a great deal to receive his Order of Merlin -- even attend a seemingly endless series of Ministry galas and dinners in the company of Harry Potter.
Author's Notes: thescarletwoman, I took your prompt of "what happened after the Shack and the final battle" as the basis for this fic. My take is very likely far more humorous than the response other fanfic writers might create. Still, I really hope you enjoy this fic. I worked to honor your wish to have plot take a prominent place, so I hope you find the situation in which Severus finds himself compelling. Thank you to those who looked at earlier drafts of this story, and to those who provided helpful beta input. All mistakes remain my own.

Word Count: ~9600
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snarry
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Severus had never had the remotest glimmer, the barest inkling, that Potter could--much less would--employ this precise route for disarraying Severus' day-to-day routine.
Author's Notes: screaminglungs, you asked for Harry/Snape and the morning after scenario, where Snape rejects Harry then finds out he's pregnant. You wanted a mean Snape who realises what he's got when its gone, then works hard to get it back! I think I touched on all your other requests as well; I hope you get a kick out of this. :)

Also, massive thanks to the mods for the extension earlier this month. You two are absolutely AWESOME.
