2008 SNARRY GAMES - CAN YOU HANDLE THE HEAT?

The lovely rakina's amazing snarry_games story The First-born Child is an absolute Snarry must read! It is a long, meaty fanfic that is wonderfully detailed and just, well, brilliant!

Take the time to go and read - you will not be disappointed!


Title: The First-born Child
Author: rakina
Team: Dragon
Genres: Alternate Reality
Prompt: Anniversary, Possessive
Rating/Warnings: NC-17 - See title page
Word Count: ~70,337
Summary: Come, my friends, and listen to the tale of a flawed hero; the tale of Severus Snape who loves Lily Evans and is determined to have her. But when Lily passes beyond his reach, Severus manages to salvage something for himself: Lily will give him her child. Her first-born child, to be his own, his wife, and his love. Lily only has one child, and she comforts herself that her contract with Severus is void, for Lily's first-born is a son, and Severus had wanted a wife: a girl just like her mother. Severus thinks rather differently; Lily owes him. But in acquiring Harry Potter he discovers, belatedly, that love cannot be coerced or bought however desperate your need; that love is free, and the most valuable thing in the world.

The incredible fics over at snarry_games are absolutely amazing - 35 have already been posted and we are only halfway done! There are fluffy fics, Mpregs, Au's, AR's, angst, and, of course, plenty of smex featuring our Snarry pair!

Immaculate Misconception

If you haven't seen, the snarry_games have started with an incredible selection of absolutely wonderful Snarry! I wish I could say the Team Dragon was the only team with brilliant, well-written stories, but that would be stupid unfair - ALL the stories have been just amazing!

And I'm having an anxiety attack over my submission, wondering what the hell I was thinking! OMG - these are sooo good!

Go - read - and be entranced by all the Snarry goodness! PLEASE don't forget to vote! Show the writers that you appreciate their incredicle work!

Lily

OMG - the snarry_games start posting tomorrow!! I'm too exhausted to be a nervous wreck (20 hours of overtime last two days), SOOO, I'm just sort of twitching in place! Going to bed now as I have to work again tomorrow, but at least it takes my mind off having an anxiety attack!

Remember, if you want to read the really 'racing' fics (like mine), you need to go join snarry_games immediately! And please vote - let the amazingly talented group of writers know you appreciate their effort to write really brilliant stories!

Go TEAM DRAGON!
