REQUESTER: unbroken_halo
AUTHOR: summerborn
RATING: NC-17
PAIRING: Snape/Harry
SUMMARY: Harry and Hermione have been friends for a long time, but he still isn't too sure about her suggestion to use a dating service (especially when that dating service has a reputation for catering to, shall we say, "alternative" tastes). What follows is a mix of passion, disappointment, meddling, and new discoveries, as Harry finds himself facing choices and situations he'd never dreamed of.
WARNINGS: AU. D/s relationships.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Written pre-DH, but AU anyway. Many many thanks to the exchange moderator, and to my betas for their help! Any remaining errors or plot holes are entirely my fault. ~28,000 words.

Warning: This set is more cohesive than the last set, and there is a definite streak of antagonism from Severus towards Lucius. So it's rather anti-Lucius/Snape and pro-Snape/Lupin and Lucius/Narcissa.

( 1. The first time he heard this, visiting his maternal grandfather... )

TITLE: Overnight to Dulles
PAIRING: Snape/Lucius
RATING: PG
WORDCOUNT: 1075 words
NOTES: Written for the Snape-A-Rama Instant AU Challenge, thus, AU. Also, this may as well take place in America, since I have no idea what planes and flight attendants are like anywhere else, so: Dulles is an airport near Washington, D.C. And hey, I'm less than a year late, go me!
PROMPT: Snape HATES flying. It’s a good thing Flight Attendant Lucius is so sympathetic.
PROMPT BY: LJ:elsajeni

( Just be glad I didn't title this 'Snape's on a Plane'. Though it was tempting. )

TITLE: The Chariot (Drawn by Flame and Sea)
LENGTH: 2750 words
MAIN CHARACTERS: Severus Snape/Sirius Black, with Dumbledore as the Charioteer
CARD: The Chariot
CARD INTERPRETATION: "The two animals which draw the Chariot try to go in different directions." Control over things that are by nature in conflict; control over opposing people, or wants, or emotions.
RATING: R
DISCLAIMER: Characters and most of the rest of it belongs to JKR.
SUMMARY: Sirius Black is forced to view an old opponent in a new light—Dumbledore assigns him to work with Severus Snape on a mission for the Order of the Phoenix. Of course, nothing happens quite the way either of them expected.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: In case the title could use explaining: Slytherin's element is water while Gryffindor's is fire :). Thanks to M and J for beta/other help. All remaining mistakes are entirely my own. Also be sure to check out this lovely art for The Chariot by chibitoaster—it's amazing!
