The reveal has taken place at snarry_holidays!

As usual, mine was NC-17, with lots of sex, some of the kinky variety... and I have that kind of kink of mine for canon compliancy, too, which comes out sometimes.

This time it's the Sectumsempra scene that gets the inside-out rewrite though...

Title: Hard Lessons
Gift for: darkladyvamp
Author: ravenna_c_tan
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 4200
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Disclaimer: Non-commercial fanfic.
Warnings: Consensual BDSM (specifically blindfolds, bondage, flogging, corporal punishment)
Summary: Harry never did master Occlumency, and Severus fears he is the only one who dares teach Harry the truly hard lessons.
A/N: Written for 2008 snarry_holidays. darkladyvamp said "I don’t mind angst, as long as the ending is happy. As for kinks, BDSM, is my main one. I’m not particular to whether it’s DH compliant, but again, happy ending is all I really need, for our boys. I’d like Severus to be IC as much as possible, Harry as well," and suggested "Severus taking advantage of Harry’s crush on the Half-Blood Prince." A lovely suggestion, my dear, here's the plot bunny that bit me in the arse the instant I saw your request! It's not DH-compliant at all because I'd say after this, book seven would have come out so very different...! Thanks to clauclauclaudia and miraba for the beta-reads. Many pieces of dialogue come directly from Half-Book Prince.

Date: 2008-09-06 19:17 Subject: New Fic! "Halfway" (Snarry, with a smidge of Sirius/Harry) NC-17, AU Security: Public Tags: fic, snarry

Reveals are up over at hp_summersmut!

What's interesting is that I thought I was being way too obvious about what is going on in the story. But none of the commenters seem to have quite got it.

Or perhaps it's that merely thinking of it as an AU leads to a happier ending/interpretation? I'm fine with that. Once stories go out into the world, as far as I'm concerned, they need to stand alone – and authorial intent can be interesting and a nice addition to one's understanding of the story, but it does not replace any reader's personal experience (nor any scholar or critic's interpretation of the work). The author gets to say what they want in the story itself... the interpretations are not in the author's control. (A lesson J. K. Rowling may not have yet learned...)

So please enjoy the story however you like. But if you are curious about what I intended... the most obvious clue I can point you at is that it's not *really* an AU. There is a canon interpretation of what is going on.

Title: Halfway
Author: ravenna_c_tan
Recipient: oni_butterfly
Pairing: Harry/Severus, with a touch of Severus/Sirius, sort of (you'll see)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 9760
Warnings: AU, sort of. First time. Some dubious touching. Snark.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No copyright infringement is intended.
Summary: When you're amnesiac and in the care of the state, you spend a lot of time trying not to think about why the boy named Harry Potter seems familiar to you...

Author's Notes: oni_butterfly said in her request "Any type of Non-Magical AU would absolutely make my year." She was hoping for Snarry, Severus/Sirius, Snape/Harry/Sirius. I couldn't quite get the three of them together, without Severus going on strike, so I got as close as I could! And I know this isn't what some would consider "AU" strictly speaking, but I hope it pleases you!
