Shivvy's favs of HP Secret Santa Rare Pairs

In December I participated in HP Secret Santa Rare Pairs 2024! 

I read a lot (but not all) of the fics, and I would like to highlight my favourites 💕

As of Jan 8th, I have read about 103 fics out of the approx 129 of the creative writing category works! The remaining fics I either skimmed and decided they weren’t my cuppa or I still have them on my to-read list.

Again, this is completely just subjective and to my own particular tastes (which lean very heavily towards queer content). All of the writing and other creations were amazing contributions to different corners of the fandom and I know we all did our best to create amazing gifts for our giftees! Reminder: I don’t wish to receive any comments that fall out of the range of the three basic fandom courtesies: YKINMKBYKIO - Your Kink Is Not My Kink, But Your Kink Is Ok  || SALS Ship And Let Ship  || DL;DR - Don’t Like; Don’t Read

Yah so - if you don’t like, don’t read, n' don’t reply anything negative at me. Thank you! 💕 * But if you notice some info or link errors please let me know (tired eyes). 💛  = my brief squee/comments

Gifts I Received

Thank you so much to my gift writers! I included so many ship requests and was so happy to see I got Severus twice kekeke. 🎁 Fragile Bonds by @picklesonjupiter / picklesonsaturday 💕 Sirius/Severus  || T || 309 words Sirius seeks healing from Snape, but their complicated history and growing feelings make the process more challenging. 💛 I love Severus’ hands… I love Severus being adept at using his hands… I love Severus being adept at using his hands on another man…! On Sirius! LOVE. 🎁 No Need to Hide Under These Friday Night Lights by @maraudersaffair / maraudersaffair 💕 James/Severus   || E || 5,096 words James Potter is the most popular boy in school. He's even the star quarterback on the football team. And for some strange reason, he won't stop staring at Severus Snape. 💛 I swooned when I realised I’d get non-magical High School AU Princechaser!! It is so sweet and so smutty, I love it!

Fics I Went Feral For (reverse alphabetical by pairing)

🎁 the gift that keeps on giving by @the-invisibility-bloke / the_invisibility_bloke 💕 Teddy/Draco/Harry || E || 12,993 words There’s only one thing Teddy wants for Christmas: to lose his virginity. 💛 I went feral for this fic and am now obsessed with Tedrarry - the wit, the pacing, the pining, the smut…! All the comments for this are rave reviews, please read it and other fics by the author! (they write a lot of Sirry and other pairs too)

🎁 Hold onto this lullaby (even when the music's gone) by @knotsnuffles / objectlesson 💕 Sirius/Harry || E || 8,345 words The truth is, Harry doesn’t just want Sirius buying him fine robes and dressing him in them—in his heart of hearts, he wants Sirius to take him out of these robes, too. 💛 Another unstoppably fantastic Sirry fic by objectlesson! Mind the tags and if it’s your jam, curl up for fluff/smut and Sirius taking care of Harry.

🎁 speeding through red lights (into paradise) by @the-invisibility-bloke / the_invisibility_bloke 💕 Sirius/Harry || E || 9,975 words Just before fifth year, true to form, Harry does something very brave and very foolish. 💛 This turns the dial for ‘Harry Pining for Sirius’ up to max Brilliant prose by the author, highly recommend if the tags make it seem like your thing.

🎁 Pink Aster - Days Gone By by @trueliarose / Trueliarose 💕 Severus/Charlie || E || 45,664 words Fire melts ice, or so they say. Severus just hadn't thought that that applied to the ice in one's soul as well. Or, When Charlie Weasley came to Hogwarts to accompany the dragons for the triwizard turnament, he met Severus Snape. But can a short affair turn into a lovestory? 💛 This long fic has my whole heart! Severus is written wonderfully, the sex is spot on, and the atmosphere and Charlie’s care is just chef’s kiss! It spans canon and my heart aches along with Severus and Charlie as they fall in love amidst the war.

🎁 Rematch by p0intless_p0et 💕 Pansy/Ginny || T || 2,239 words In a cold, dark Hogwarts, ruled by fear and suspicion, Pansy Parkinson and Ginny Weasley find an unlikely spark on a makeshift Quidditch Field, and, much to everyone's amusement, only one of them can play Quidditch. 💛 The characterisation is just perfect, the atmosphere of Book 7 Hogwarts is stunning, and I thoroughly enjoyed this and reread it already, perfect Ginsy rivalry.  

🎁 Teacups & Tankards by @schmem14 / Schmem_14 💕 Madam Puddifoot/Madam Rosmerta || M || 9,589 words Bea and Ros are best friends who learn love and trust as they suffer loss and heartbreak during the Second Wizarding War. 💛 AAAH ITS SO SWEET AND EMOTIONAL and they are perfect for each other, please, come meet these sweet ladies with their slow romance kicking off during the hardships of war. It’s infused with so much heart and sexiness, I cannot recommend this enough! 

🎁 Rotten Roots by p0intless_p0et 💕 Neville/Draco || G || 2,335 words Draco Malfoy has everything he needs to complete Snape's potions work, everything but the ingredients. Neville is the Herbology professor at Hogwarts, he'll give Draco what he needs, at a price. 💛 Draco laced with guilt, and Neville's gentle hand guiding him close, showing Draco he knows him, and can be there for him. It’s suuuch a brilliant set up for a Dreville, it makes your heart ache for Draco, and Neville is so solid and steady and supportive!

🎁 Carry A Piece Of Me by @skywatcherrose / sky_watcher_rose 💕 Narcissa/Minerva || M || 3,471 words In the aftermath of a lost war, Narcissa and Minerva are just doing their best to survive - and perhaps take a little pleasure along the way. 💛 These two women, loving each other and holding strong as part of the feeble underground resistance… I love the tenderness of their intimacy during the darkness of war. Amazing portrait of these women!

🎁 A Tale of Two Tonks Women by @midnightstargazer / MidnightStargazer 💕 Andromeda & Nymphadora || T || 3,632 words Throughout her life, Tonks defies her mother’s expectations. Andromeda couldn't be prouder of her. 💛 I felt like I never understood Andromeda until this character study piece which is all about Tonks and her mother’s relationship. Very worth the read, thought provoking!

A Few Fav Non-Fic Entries

There were sooo many amazing art and other crafts etc! I didn't have a serious chance to look through them all again, but the ones that came to my mind as amazing are:

🎁 [game] What's that ship? by @lumosatnight / lumosatnight 🎁 [Art] So… Thank You by @sillylittlebeans / sillybeans 💕Harry/Bill || G ||  🎁[Sculpture ] Lazy Sunday by @elisedonut / elisedonut 💕Percy/Oliver || G || 🎁[Comic] Kiss Me if You Can by sillybeans 💕Cedric/Harry || G ||  🎁[Craft] Meet Me Outside by @sugareey-makes-stuff / sugareey 💕Marcus/Oliver || G || 

There were so many other amazing things (esp art!) but alas I have run out of steam! That’s all, it was an amazing batch of fics, I was so happy to participate and read! Kudos to everyone!

For HP Rare Pair Secret Santa I wrote this little ficlet for our lovely @nena-96! Which was supposed to be crack but I treated it too seriously.

[trueliarose]

I'm still so freaking proud of this story. It's not my usual Snarry, but my first actual canon rewrite and not to brag, but I love how it turned out 🙈😅and it is Severus POV...

Armassy 💕 whom I was allowed to write this for and gift this to said the following about it, and yes, this is exactly what I set out to do (and yes, I'm still crying over those nice words, wow):

This is exactly what people fight for and I will never forgive JKR for putting Snape through all of that alone, that was just cruel. More than that. So giving Snape Charlie, giving him the strength to go through everything, was like a balm for my soul.

So please, if you want to, go check it out on Ao3.

And of course I could not resist putting a little Harry&Severus scene in there as well, so here you go (sneak peak 😜)

The figure in front of the portrait turned, revealing the face that belonged to the unruly bird's nest of black hair Severus had already identified: Potter. Severus gripped his wand, ready to shield himself, but instead of the expected hatred and fury, Potter looked at him with remorse. It was as if Potter saw him for the first time, and as if he could see the man Potter had become like he had not been able to before. 

“So it was his plan all along?” Potter asked.

“Yes,” Severus said slowly.

“Show me,” Potter asked, an almost childlike longing in his face.

Severus raised his wand, noting that Potter did not flinch at the sight, but looked at it with almost morbid curiosity. He cast, Bumble springing forth instantly, doing her signature loops and somersaults.

She flew to Potter, who reached out as if to pet her, his head snapping up at Severus again. They stared at each other, two men destined to die, and silent understanding passed between them. Bumble floated in their midst, the only source of light in this dark night.

“Did you love her?” Potter asked, his voice grave like Severus had never heard before. “Do you love him?”

Severus could have pretended not to know what Potter was talking about, and he wanted to snap at him that it was none of his business. But it was, wasn’t it? In this very moment, when they asked of him the unimaginable, Potter was entitled to the truth.

“Yes,” Severus said. And not even sure why it felt so important, he added. “Both of them, but so very differently.”

“Good,” said Potter, his gaze on the floating Patronus. “That’s good.”

Severus nodded.

Potter took his cloak from the desk, turning to leave.

“Your parents loved you,” Severus said, needing to give the child something to hold on to in this darkest of hours. “They would be so very proud of you.”

Potter smiled a sad smile. “Thank you,” he said, and it felt to Severus that he was not only thanking him for the meaningless platitude, but for so much more.

And then he vanished, donning that blasted cloak of his. Severus shivered as he felt the air shift when Potter passed him. The door to the office opened and closed, sealing both their fates.

Fic claim from @hssrarepairs written for giftee requests:

Luna/Pansy Soulmates Redemption Crookshanks Draco/Ron Harry/Theo

Look What We Found

[Luna Lovegood/Pansy Parkinson, 3K, T]

Summary:

Luna finds a cat. Pansy finds humility.

They both find their soulmates. Everybody wins.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast

Snippets

Loud bangs echo through the hallway, the door vibrating against Pansy’s back. “I said, ‘I don't have change.’” Pansy’s voice is high in a panic. What is going on with the security wards, anyway?! The man should have never been able to come into the small front yard, never mind cross the threshold. More bangs sound, along with a few muffled words Pansy doesn't care to hear. She simply wants the disgusting old man gone. “Sir, I will call the Aurors if you don’t leave! I don't have any change for Merlin's sake.” “You're a pretentious one, ain't ya?” the man shouts as he seizes his banging. “I'm just trying to return the scarf you dropped across the road.” Pansy grasps at her neck to find it indeed bereft of her favourite cashmere scarf. “Oh,” she says, embarrassed.

...

She tries to scream, but her voice catches in her throat as the man's eyes change, the green of irises disappearing behind a white mist. His tone is unsettlingly moist and phlegmy—as if every word is coated in a thin layer of saliva that clings to his throat—when he says, “You are as beautiful as your soul is corrupt and shallow. You will wake with a body that matches the depth of your soul. Only when you find it within yourself to appreciate another, not for their outward appearance but for who they are, will you be free of this curse. To aid you, as I am not as cruel as some, I will give you the sight of the red thread of fate. You need only look with intent to see the path that leads you to your one true love.” The man lets go abruptly, and Pansy—still twisting and pulling in an attempt to get away—tumbles onto her arse, head snapping back against the hardwood floor.

Not to be an Ace Attorney fan rn through my HSS craze. And in 2024, 23 years after Ace Attorneys release.

I'm rewatching Ace Attorney playthroughs for nostalgia, and dude.

But I absolutely adore Gumwright. Gumshoe x Phoenix, not to be a rare pair shipper on the main but dude c'mon.

Himbo x Himbo is real.
