Snarry Recs: Creature Feature

It's spooky season!! Time to put on your costume, surround yourself with sugar, listen to "Monster Mash", and read some fun Creature Fics in the light of your Jack-o-Lantern!

...actually I can't listen to music and read at the same time. I'd totally wanna jam out to "Monster Mash." But if you want some fun Snarry stories to read while you work on your sugar high, here are a few for you to check out!

Je m'abandonne

by asecretchord. Rated E. 22k. Veela!Snape. Humor. Mating. Public sex. Student/teacher.

Snape is a wild Veela whose mate has finally come of age, and nothing will stop him from claiming what's his. Not even if that mate happens to be a bewildered Boy-Who-Lived-Again.

Nightbreak

by crystalusagi. Rated E. 4k. Vampire!Harry. Open-ending.

In an Auror raid before Christmas Harry is captured by vampires and turned. Snape tries to cure him.

You Were Myth-Taken

by Hokee. Rated T. 23k. Vampires. Humor & puns.

When vampire attacks hit Hogsmeade, Severus Snape is the prime suspect. With Harry and Albus not taking these accusations seriously and the students threatening to expose him at every turn, this term was going to be just fangtastic.

Unexpected Effects

by made.of.bees. Rated M. 160k. Were-basilisk!Harry. Partners to lovers. Potions master Harry. Drama & adventure.

Two years after being impaled by the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry starts noticing some...odd changes. During eighth year he can no longer pretend, and has to deal with what he's become. In order to do that, he has to get help from someone less-than-ideal. Over the years, Harry and Snape's relationship grows; now with an alternative Snarry ending. 

Dragon's Grace

by MagicaDraconia16. Rated M. 22k. Dragoonal. Mating. Crack. No underage. Time jump.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Dragon Pox vaccine does more than just vaccinate against Dragon Pox. The Potters are in the middle of little Harry’s vaccinations when they must go into hiding. Fast forward to the first Task in the Triwizard Tournament, and the dragon Harry faces calls to a part of him that’s not quite as gone as it should be.

Siren

by @necromanticnoir. Rated E. 6k. Siren!Harry. PWP. Hot as all heck.

Severus Snape was not one for ‘dating’. It fell to him, then, to capture himself a Mate.

Instinctive

by neymovirne. Rated E. 10k. Veela!Harry. Fluff & humor. Courtship. Bob the Cactus. (Don't ask, just read.)

Harry can’t hold his tongue from blurting stupid things, learns something new about himself, and gets a cantankerous companion; not necessarily in that order.

Blood Donor

by Predatrix. Rated E. 15k. Vampire!Snape. Student/teacher. Suicidal ideation.

Prompt: Severus Snape is a vampire. And he wants to suck Harry.

Incubus

by sunshine. Rated E. 163k. Incubus!Harry. Master/slave. Kink. Drama.

Harry Potter comes into his creature inheritance on his sixteenth birthday. He is an Incubus, and is driven to seek out a mate that his subconscious is able to trust. That person is Severus Snape, who takes advantage of the availability of an Incubus -- an inherently submissive creature who will obey his every whim. Together, they find that they're actually well suited to one another, and develop a meaningful relationship.

The Wicked Fairy and His Sweet Prince

by TessaVance. Rated E. 8k. Fairy!Snape. Mpreg. Porn with Plot. AU.

Prince Harry tells Potion Master Severus that he is worried the courtiers will take advantage of his virginity, and does he know of anything that could help?

Severus, well Severus knows quiet a few things that could help now that you mention it.

Claiming: July 6th - September 15th

It’s the first day of claiming for the Snarry AUctoberfest 2024! The current year’s prompts are listed on the claiming form page of our website. The form here will be updated as things are claimed. However, you are not limited to this year’s prompts! If they do not catch your fancy, check out the previous years’! We also offer a wild-card option for prompts.

We encourage participants to focus on Snarry and Alternate Universe possibilities (ie. a radically different time period or location, non-magic, outer space etc., or those influenced by other media). Fest works are permitted within the canon universe as long as there’s a major divergence from the canon world or storyline. 

Please consider the spirit of this fest: imagining the multitude of ways in which Severus and Harry fall in love across all different worlds, timelines and possibilities. 

To that end, we request no works be submitted where the only AU element would be considered as “EWE” or “Snape lives”, or other minor divergences Snarry fans would expect to see in Snarry fanworks. 

If you wish to participate, please fill out all the required information in the form. Once you submit your claim, just sit back and wait for confirmation via your preferred method of communication (Discord or email). (Don’t forget to check your spam folder if you choose email! Our emails often end up there initially!!! Please, please do check your spam folder!) 

You do not to have submitted a prompt to take part, nor do you need to be a member of our Discord community.

“You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.”

the whole of my heart is an infinite cauldron of honey, for you. remove myself to make room. to house you with these bones as tired as blue ocean. im a good beggar. have the teeth for it. knelt to you for my knighting. waiting, a trembling dog, for you to name me beloved or beheaded. the weight of the world in your yes, in your hurricane decision. no sugar runs over. i clean my mouth after every kiss. i clean my wounds like ritual. this cauldron of honey, where flies sink & drown. this brittle collection of limbs ive coddled for you to make a bed out of. my loathing made small & menial in the shadow of your love. dwarfed by the hands you cast over me. your hands, touching me, that could smother any fire, could clench quick as a snake strike. your hands polishing me until i bleed honey into the mattress.
