The big reveal for

First, the wonderful story gifted to me --
A Time For All Things -- was written by
nimori ! I'm flabbergasted. She rawks my socks. Please go read the story if you haven't yet had the chance.
And my contribution was . . .
What Remains, Else All That MattersHarry/Severus
NC-17
Written for
ausmac .
Angst, dubious consent, rimming, and a snarly bastard!Snape.
Summary: An unexpected reunion some years after the war, and many wounds -- old and new -- still need healing.
My love and endless thanks to my tireless betas:
empathic_siren ,

queenbtch , and
synn . I think
ausmac said it best in her comment to the fic: "If I were beta reading this, there wouldn't be a red blob anywhere in sight, except for frequent bursts of bravo!" That's because my betas are liberal with their red pens -- and I hope they always will be. You ladies not only pushed the story to be its best, you made the experience of writing it so very, very worthwhile. Thank you.
