Title: ...And Dance By the Light of the Moon
Author: atypicalsnowman
Pairing: Severus/Harry
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: Approx 78,000
Warnings: None
Theme: Overcoming Adversity
Prompt: Reaping what you sow
Summary: A Snarry take on Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. For Severus, life is just one long chain, getting shorter each year, and Harry is the only bright spot in the darkness. Just when life threatens to strangle him, to fracture everything he cares about, help comes from an unlikely, ethereal source. Hufflepuffs have to be good for something, after all.
A/N: Written for the SeverusSighs Grand Challenge! The idea for this fic came to me around Christmas time in 2008. Since then, it’s undergone numerous plot changes and word count estimations, but I couldn’t shake the idea of Severus Snape mirroring George Bailey. Thanks must go to joanwilder for her help as a ‘full service’ beta. Thank you so much for your patience, darling. Thanks must also go to torina_archelda, who told me I wasn't insane two years ago when I first shared my idea, and helped me with the plot development. And of course, eternal gratitude to whitecotton for helping me rework the plot all those months ago, and helping with story development every step of the way. Thanks to lovetoseverus for another great read-through, and the lovely people of SeverusSighs yahoo group who shared their family experiences with me. Ladies, I’m so grateful.
