Giftee: amanitamuscaria
Word Count: ~2,300
Rating: R-bordering-on-NC-17
Pairing: Severus/Harry
Warnings: BDSM||D/s, humour, knife play, crack, uhm. Did I mention crack?
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: When the universe plays pranks, they are truly epic. However, they also cause a great deal of inconvenience. Especially where sex is concerned.
Author's Notes: First, I'd like to apologize for the excess of crack. Second, I'd like to apologize for pushing amanitamuscaria's requested max rating. (Then again, "R" might actually be the perfect rating for this. I'm absolute pants at figuring out proper ratings for my fics.) And also if the ending isn’t good.. I’m afraid I was rushing to try and get it in after getting an extension due to unexpected computer death. (I need to learn how NOT to procrastinate.) Anyway, I hope you like it, amanitamuscaria
A million thanks to N for the quick look-over, despite this not being her sort of thing at all. ♥!

Rating: R
Pairing: Snape/Harry; allusions to past Snape/Lily
Warnings: slash, angst
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Sometimes, to make two people really see each other, all it takes is an evil, twisted bit of Riddle’s soul. AU of a certain scene in DH.
Author's Notes: Big thanks to J and to S for making this a ton better; huge thanks also to the mods for their eternal patience. :)
Sorry this doesn’t have an actual love spell, dracofiend (though there is one of a sort *g*), but I couldn’t hope to equal your love-spell Snarry. I hope this will do. :)

Title: Great Liars, Great Magicians
Author: loupgarou1750
Giftee: inoru_no_hoshi
Word Count: 24k +/-
Rating: (hard) R
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Genre(s): AU/AR (AR, I think), Forced-bonding, Humour, Angst (mild)
Warnings: *chan (15-16), mpreg, BDSM, cross-dressing, humiliation, toe-licking*
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Dumbledore forces Harry to bond with Snape, who demands an heir, but when Harry announces his pregnancy, Snape doesn't believe him. The road to hell may be paved with good intentions, but the path to love is strewn with sex, lies, and manipulations.
Author's Notes: inoru_no_hoshi, you requested genderbending, cross-dressing, BDSM, plot, smut, snarky!Snape, chan, forced-bonding, AU/AR, mpreg, and creature!fic. I never thought I’d write mpreg or cross-dressing, but I wanted to hit as many of your kinks/likes as I could (alas, creature!fic was sacrificed to the gods of [marginally] coherent plot.) I hope I’ve done justice to your requests.
Huge thanks to my betas, A, R, and Hairy-nosed Wombat. Also *deep bow* much thanks to the mods for your great patience.

Rating: R
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Warnings: Non-explicit sex. Non-Magical AU.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended. I also do not own any of the Journey songs that are mentioned throughout the story. They belong to Journey and Sony BMG.
Summary: Harry will do anything to get his godfather out of prison. Hermione will do anything to help him. Severus will do anything to get those two idiots to leave him alone.

First, I must thank from the bottom of my heart BR and SG, for they are the main reasons this story came to see the light of day. If I am the mother of this story, then BR is the midwife who delivered it, and SG is the doctor who drove away the sickness that corrupted it. Also, a large thanks to the Hols mods for their patience and their last minute BETA’ing as well. You guys are amazing!

That being said, no one, including me, could stop the random Journey references from embedding themselves throughout the story. I sincerely apologize for that.

To maraudersaffair: I really hope you enjoy this story! If you don’t, I’ll give you my address so you can come and beat me up. Promise!

Warnings: *light bondage.*
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.

Title: Special Delivery
Author: ziasudra
Giftee: drachenmina
Word Count: ~ 9,050
Rating: R
Pairing: Snape/Harry is the only pairing onstage. Hints of Ginny/Dean and Albus Severus/Scorpius in the background.
Warnings: m/m slash
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: Harry bequeaths an unusual act of kindness to Snape after his death. He doesn't expect it to become what it does (Harry is oblivious as ever, after all), but then again, what fun would it be if everything's the same boring old stuff?
Author's Notes: drachenmina requested, amoung other things: "A random act of kindness has consequences Harry could never have imagined; fiery relationship; to see them get together; slash." Thank you, H, for the beta! drachenmina, I tried to incorporate elements of as many of your requests as possible, and I hope I've succeeded at least in a small way with this humble offering. I've tried hard, but alas, the smut just wouldn't come. But our boys do have quite the chemistry with each other, even if they haven't always known what we knew all along. *g* Happy Snarry Holidays!

Title: Bonded
Artist: veridian_dair
Giftee: rakina
Media/Medium: Photoshop CS3, graphic tablet
Rating: R
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Warnings: chan (Harry looks 17 to me, but whatever number works for you higher or lower is fine)
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: "We have to consummate the bond to bring it to its fullest magical fruition,' Snape said at Harry's ear. "I promise I will make this as tolerable as possible for both of us."
Artist's Notes: I really struggled with this assignment - how do I portray forced bonding without resulting to just an image of a ceremony? (And what scenario brought them here? Ministry machinations? Pressure by Dumbledore? Or a desire to help Harry against Voldemort via a bond with a strong wizard? My personal favorite!) With a love of tension and transitional moments, I came up with this image. I have to imagine it all ended up okay for both sides (alright, far more than just "okay" because like Rakina, that's how I like the story to go too.) ;-)

Title:Merry Solstice, Severus!

Title: Provocation
Author: chiralove
Giftee: nenyaentwhistle
Word Count: 6900ish
Rating: R
Pairing: Severus/Harry, Ron/Hermione
Warnings: Contains DH spoilers (EWE)
Disclaimer: Nothing that you recognize belongs to me – Harry Potter and etc. belong to J.K. Rowling.
Summary: Snape was determined to find and exploit Harry's weaknesses, while Harry had vowed to be mature and ignore Snape.
AN: nenyaentwhistle requested a story where Snape was never good to begin with and a Snarry with the "classic you-always-fall-for-a-bad-boy scenario." It was a struggle to make Snape a bastard but still redeemable enough for Harry to love him … I hope this fits the bill! Happy Snholidays!

Huge thanks to my betas for their quick and wonderful work – any mistakes that remain are entirely my own.

Title:Present Imperfect
Author: stepmnster
Giftee: All participants
Word Count: 6596
Rating: R
Pairing: Snarry
Warnings: (please continue to warn for DH spoilers) epilogue compliant but not much else. A few DH spoilers thingies. A bit of light bondage and nudity. D/s. Student/teacher (chanish in some countries).
Disclaimer:Not mine! And I promise to return them…eventually!
Request: I would love something that has Harry guilty for how he left Snape for dead, how there was all this hatred bottled up against him. Where does that guilt go? How does Harry react to Snape post-war? How is Snape post-war? Whether he changes or not is up to you. I'm a big lover of plot, so go crazy with the story - I'm not all about teh sex, although that's nice, too. Hope this fits what you wanted!

Author’s note: the endearments used in this fic are Hungarian. According to my online translator they mean ‘my kitten’
