Sun, 09 Jan 2011 21:28:09 GMT

Posted by: bethbethbeth

Written in December for the 2010 edition of hoggywartyxmas - for Serpenscript (aka Parseltonguepen)

Title: West of Stockholm
Author:: Beth H (bethbethbeth)
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters and/or Pairings: Moody/Snape
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~2100
Possible warnings and/or enticements - highlight to view (may contain story spoilers): (skip)Allusions to possible past non-con, but mostly talk and little action (and a bit of self-delusion). Please leave a comment if you believe anything should be added here
Word Count: 2100
Summary: In the midst of Voldemort's first rise, Severus Snape finds the 'hospitality' of the Ministry not at all to his liking. When Albus Dumbledore finds alternate lodgings for the young Death Eater, Alastor Moody finds these arrangements not at all to his liking. At first.
Author's Notes: The title "West of Stockholm" is, in part, an allusion to Stockholm Syndrome, "a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors...." This story, however, is not about Stockholm Syndrome. Or at least not about Stockholm Syndrome as we generally imagine it.

Title: A Matter of Life and Death
Author: Beth H (bethbethbeth)
Characters: Severus/Hermione, DEATH, various others of the HP and Discworld Universes.
Rating: PG-13
Possible warnings and/or enticements - highlight to view (may contain story spoilers): (skip)DEATH...but that's a good thing in this story. Please leave a comment if you believe anything should be added here
Word Count: ~4600
Summary: In the end, Death comes for us all. For Severus Snape and Hermione Granger, it came with cups of tea and offers of employment.

Author's Note #1: Crossover with Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (for more on this, take a look at the Discworld Wiki), as well as a bit of a crossover with Neil Gaiman's Sandman. To learn more about what might seem like unlikely coincidences in this story, read the Discworld wiki entry on Narrativium *g*
Author's Note #2: I swear I tried to get Severus and Hermione to do something, but they flat out refused. Blame them!
Author's Note #3: Many thanks to vulgarweed for the sterling beta...and additional thanks to the ever-patient Mods.
