Please go read one of the prompts I tendered:
His Dinner Menu - Severus/Neville, NC-17 (chapters 1-3/6)
His Dinner Menu - Severus/Neville, NC-17 (chapters 4-6/6)
Author: ????
Pairing: Severus Snape/Neville Longbottom
Rating: NC17
Warnings: Neville's 17, so he's of age and an adult wizard, *g*, even if he's underage in some Muggle countries.
Genres: Humour/Crack. Seventh Year Fic/Alternate Universe
Summary: Just what does a Potions master have to do in order to get a decent meal at Hogwarts?
Beta: HB
Original Request: Written to Prompt 81; Seventh Year Fic/Alternate Universe: Neville has given up ever passing his N.E.W.T.s. After a vigorous browbeating by Hermione, he's dragged down to the Dungeons for Remedial Potions. Severus has been wondering why the light has gone out of berating dunderheads and their potion-mishaps; when Neville shows up, he discovers the reason.
The prompt was given by bonfoi, and the cool things she wanted that I managed to squeeze in are: Snape-is-a-Vampire ("The Bat of the Dungeons"); upside-down sex; possibility for crack!fic/humor; snide/snarky Severus; growing-a-backbone Neville.
Author's Notes: There is no DH here, or HBP for that matter, this is an AU 7th year as requested. The previous Head of Slytherin is dead, the current one is undead, and the vampires of the HP-verse do eat human food in between their more tasty snacks. At least they do in this fic. :-P
Or, the first fic of this year's Fest...from one of my prompts, as well!
Vanity Shattered : Prologue/chapter 1

Author: ??
Pairing: Severus Snape/Hermione Granger
Rating: R
Warnings: EWE, leather, light BDSM, UST
Disclaimer: None of the characters you recognise belong to me.
Original request/Bunny: Hermione Granger's research showed that the only way for Snape to survive the war was to be turned. Little did she know that Severus' newly awakened vampiric tendencies would involve some blood, sweat, and tears. Submitted by bonfoi.
Notes: The poem recited in chapter 3 is Emily Dickinson’s Pain has an element of blank. Also, some notes on Orris root: After preparation, the scent is reminiscent of the smell of violets. This unique smell only wins over time in the drying-process. After the drying-process the root is ground, solved in water and then distilled. One ton of iris root produces two kilos of extremely expensive essential oil. The scent then is marvellous and incomparable, as powerful as it is subtle. It's been described as tenaciously flowery, heavy and woody.
I wanted something more original than sandalwood!
