My Fanart for a Snarry fic called “For you, and No One Else” by Fuglife on a03! (18+)

I meant to make this ages ago, before i got so sick, so I’m glad I finally got around to finishing it.

I think It’s a bit poetic that this fic gave me something to look forward to during that time, and that it’s end also marked the end of my artblock!

Its a very cute and cozy fic, very self indulgent. Its Dark!Harry in the background, taking place 6 years after the second war, and Sneep VERY soft.

This is my very first Snape art! Still figuring out how I wanna draw him, aaaaa

[spireasalix]

Love love love the trope where Harry is so tired of being a celebrity and praised and doted on, so when Draco comes around like the cunt he is and unashamedly roasts the hell out of him, Harry is like actually please do that again

Thank you so much @nsf-ko for this amazing and... spicy art! I’m absolutely in love with it!!! 😍🥰❤️

*** "Do you know, Harry, the difference between sex and love?"

Harry blissfully closed his eyes; the sound flowed through him, smooth and alluring.

"The only way, and yet it is irreversible... Purely and solely in a kiss. During a kiss, no one can lie, not even the greatest liar; not even the cleverest cheater. A kiss will always reveal who you are to the other. Remember that, Harry."

He listened, swaying on the waves, until that blissful peace shattered the feeling.

Lips, a mouth on Harry's mouth, a touch so timid and yet, so sharp, that Harry breathed out shakily. Velvet was the rough bark of trees; this smoothness came from another dimension, gliding over his lips, caressing them. Harry desperately tried to capture it. Don't disappear, don't get lost! He clasped one of his lips, sucking and tasting. An inarticulate sound escaped his throat. That taste—he’d never—good God, never...!

Harry jerked forward sharply, forcefully thrusting his tongue inside. I want it all. I must! He kissed him wildly, filling every taste bud. I’ll never want anything else; I don't want anything else, no... The moist heat of Severus' mouth, his agile tongue... Harry dissolved in bliss. He tasted him, so intensely; how intensely he tasted! He stood petrified, hands by his sides, fanatically focused on one thing. He swallowed his mouth as if he wanted to devour it... and maybe he did.

***

Check out the first chapter here:

[spireasalix]

Harry : " You know, I think it's a mistletoe above us. "

Severus : " Indeed. "

Harry : " You know what it means, sir? When two people meet under a mistletoe, they should kiss."

Severus : " Earlier, it wasn't there. Have you put it yourself there, Potter? "

Harry : " Maybe... "

🎙️Things We Wish For by @avioleta (AO3) Podfic by JocundaSykes Rated E, 2 hours

Harry blinks. Blinks again. It doesn’t make sense. It’s simply not possible. But yet… “Snape?” It’s not the Snape Harry knows or remembers. Not the Snape Harry grieved. But he would know that face, that profile, those eyes anywhere. “What happened?” he manages. “How are you here?”

🌸 A Step into the Light - @givereadersahug (AO3) / @gullibert (AO3) / @dandelionstars (AO3) Rated NR, Word Count 10k

Severus Snape is now a free man. He fills his time travelling the world, collecting potion ingredients, and helping Luna with her business. The thing is, Severus has a gift. No, not potions or the Dark arts. He can see mushi, creatures that show up from time to time. Severus knows how to help them and the humans that come into contact with them. This time, their travels take them to an island off the coast of Japan, to a man sitting on a log, staring out into the ocean and waiting for his wife to return home. Inspired by the anime Mushishi. A retelling of Season 1, Episode 8. For the Snape Bang 2022.

🌸 The Ugliest Veela - Octroman Rated E, Word Count 60k

Snape is part-veela. It is interfering with his dating life. Post-war, Severus Snape finds himself in a life without purpose. In a desperate bid for the family he always wanted, he subjugates himself to a matchmaking service in hopes to find an acceptable partner. However, it is mandatory to disclose veela status in order to use the premiere matchmaker of the old family houses. Wrinkled, sallow, oily, big-nosed, and bony, Severus shows up for a string of horrific dates where potential partners expect him to be both gorgeous and enchanting. “I thought veelas were supposed to be beautiful!” Cue the jokes. How much humiliation can Severus stand? --------------------------------------- Illustrated chapter titles and crafted with love.

📚 A Trick of the Mind - @vulnerasanenturmyprince (AO3) Rated E, Word Count 40k

Ever since the horcrux in his head is gone, Legilimency comes easy to Harry. It’s nearly laughable how easy it is, considering how much he used to struggle with it back in his fifth year. But he reckons half of that had been Snape’s fault anyway. Who on earth would enjoy the nasty git invading their mind? But as life as Harry has known it changes, Harry’s opinion on the matter changes with it ― rather drastically so if he’s being perfectly honest.

📚 Blowing Smoke - DawnOfTomorrow Rated E, Word Count 231k

Harry doesn't care about Snape beyond having to sit detentions with the man despite being of age. He doesn't. He asks him out for a drink just to get out of detention. So what if it's... nice? So what if they become friends? So what if Snape *is* lonely? It's not Harry's problem - at least not until he realises he's accidentally befriended the man, and just how much he cares for Snape. Well, shit.

📚 Close Encounters - @bleedcolor (AO3) & @likelightinglass (AO3) Rated E, Word Count 35k

📚 Little Monkeys - Lilian Rated T, Word Count 15.7k

"There might be a chance that maybe, perhaps, Severus went too far this whole ‘exile far away from the Wizarding World’ thing. Because however he tries to frame it, it comes down to this: after nine years of being completely alone, the first time he stays with another person, he’s plotting to steal said person’s children."

📚 Not Giving In - @hippocrates460 (AO3) Rated E, Word Count 38.7k

Harry comes back from his holiday to a stack of memos on his desk that all say the same thing: "Severus Snape adopted Teddy Lupin." Snape.

About This Event

You know when you leave a really long comment on a fic? Something that makes you go 'oh man if only I could bring this energy to my regular deadlines', but you just gotta tell someone how awesome their work is? What if we had a whole day celebrating that?

What is this event? Comment Day is a celebration of leaving comments on beloved fic, both to tell the author what their work means to you, and to appreciate reflecting on the parts of a work you enjoy! We all pick a fic (or maybe several fics, if you wanna go hard) that is our favourite, and work on a really detailed, fun, personalized comment, and on Comment Day we all go out and leave someone a comment that will make their day.

This blog will have tips and tricks about crafting a good comment, polls and graphics collecting stats for the event and a general celebration about how fun leaving comments can be. You don't normally get to tell the creator how awesome their work is with things like books or movies, we get to do that with fic, and isn't that fantastic?

Date: 15 September, 2024, whatever time zone that takes place in for you.

Ron: Hey, guys, Zabini is doing that thing again

Harry: What thing?

Ron: He just handed me a new chessboard and told me to have a nice day! How weird is that? He’s been doing this for months and I don’t know what he’s trying to do!

Hermione: You don’t know why, Ron?

Ron: I just think he’s being all weird like Slytherins are. Like Draco constantly bickering with Harry and Pansy constantly teasing you, you know, before you got together! Right?

Hermione: Okay, so let me get this straight, you are sitting here with a new chessboard from Blaise, eating chocolates that Blaise bought for you, and a pie Blaise made for you, wearing pajamas that Blaise got for you, and you are…wondering what he is trying to do?

Ron, chewing on a mouthful of pie: I know! How weird is he!

Harry: …I’m less oblivious than this, right?

Hermione: Debatable

[spireasalix]

I love how Harry consistently refers to Draco as his archenemy. The way it should be logically is that Voldemort is Harry's nemesis and Draco's just a minor annoyance, a footnote to Harry's epic rivalry with the most powerful dark wizard alive. However, Harry is not interested in logic where Draco Malfoy is concerned so instead he's really out here living his best life and treating Voldemort like the minor B plot villain who sometimes distracts him from his epic rivalry with his beloved enemy by pulling wacky shenanigans like trying to murder Harry and overthrowing the wizarding government.
