Happy Daft Day, [info]quill_lumos!
Recipient: [info]quill_lumos
Title: Joie de vivre
Author: [info]ivylady
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Angst, bottom!Snape, Slash, AU, barest hint of Mpreg (blink and you'll miss it).
Prompt/Summary: At the end of OotP, Sirius doesn't fall beyond the Veil — Snape does. Tired of the war and Voldemort's strangle hold on himself and others, Severus sacrifices himself for the greater good. Instead of dying, he learns to accept himself and live life to the fullest — and that includes accepting Harry's love.
Author's Note: [info]quill_lumos was very lenient with her criteria, so I let my plot bunnies run away with the story. I do hope you like it, [info]quill_lumos!

What a lovely tale. For some reason I am so enamored of Snape with white hair, the visits with Lily and Eileen, the gifts Harry uses to try to make-up with Severus (especially the Prince heirlooms), and I really liked the line-

Having given my innocence and purity to a mad megalomaniac, I decided to save something for myself.

And admittedly I 'blinked' but then remembered it afterward. Very romantic story all around.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I admit that part might have been tricky, but I'm glad it made sense.

Severus with white hair is love! *grins*

Such a sweet romance! I really liked the details you had, like the Veil imploding and its list of names. And snarky Severus was love!

Thanks! Snarky Severus is my favorite characterization. I'm glad you liked the Veil imploding--I figured it was appropriate as Severus managed to make it out alive.

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. I think I've already said that, but it has to be said again. *grins*

I love romance and happy endings with our favorite boys, so I could do no less here.

Sweet and wonderful! I love Harry's way of apologizing for his actions; I had difficulty picturing Snape with white hair (so used to the black), but I really loved it. Marvelous work!~Sophia

Thank you. So happy you liked it. It was weird for me at first to have Snape with white hair, but I thought it was a nice way to show his trauma.

Adorable! So glad Severus finally got a chance to face and come to terms with his demons, especially the ones from his horrible childhood. Nice entry!

Blinked? I'm confused. I am glad that you liked the concepts.

You said "barest hint of Mpreg (blink and you'll miss it)". I missed it. :)
