Reveals are up at giftfest!

And I can now admit to writing The Librarian, for sabrebabe.  I decided to do a combination of two of her prompts, (prompt #3) Post War, Severus' books have seen much better days. Hermione needs a job that won't drive her crazy. Severus has old books and manuscripts that need TLC, binding, mending, and cataloguing. Perhaps Lucius's library has fallen on hard times, and needs a new home?
I also added something of prompt #2-Post War, Hermione has gone into seclusion and has taken up creating Magical Artifacts anonymously. Highly sought after and very expensive, the unknown artist has a long waiting list of offers. A Former not-quite-as-dead-as-they-thought Professor has been looking for the mysterious Craftsman (probably at Lucius' insistence). Why, and what happens next?

I'd also like to acknowledge and thank my lovely beta reader: delphipsmith, and alpha reader: morethansirius for all of their help and encouragement. Without their input this story would not have been possible. Thanks again ladies, you're both awesome!

Disclaimer: All recognizable characters belong to JK Rowling and associates. No copyright infringement intended.
Summary: Severus needs someone to help him organize an inheritance, Dumbledore's private library. A tip leads him to a mysterious woman known only as the Librarian.
Author's Note: Unending thanks go to 'D' by lovely beta, and 'T' my alpha reader, two wonderful ladies who go above and beyond. Many thanks to sabrebabe for the awesome prompts. The story is a combination of two of your prompts, I hope I did them justice.
As usual the story sort of got away from me—I'm practically incapable of writing a one-shot. Also the locations in Orkney that I used for part of the story are real and I became quite fascinated by them while doing my research.

Thanks ever so much to the amazing rayvyn2k

A HUGE THANK YOU to rayvyn2k for the gorgeous fic she wrote for me at the sshg_giftfest, titled To Have or Have Not.

Title: To Have or Have Not (The Severus & Hermione Version)
Pairing: Severus/Hermione, Lucius/Narcissa
Rating: PG
Word Count: 12K
Content: Elements of Noir. Off page torture. Off page death of OC family. Gruesome death of someone who deserves it. No other warnings apply.
Summary: Severus has left the Wizarding world and is living quietly as a Muggle boat captain in Dover, UK. He uses his boat to take tourists to Calais until Unspeakable Hermione shows up to ask a favor.
Author's Note: Prompt #5: After the war Severus survived he dropped out of the wizarding world. Several years later Hermione unexpectedly meets him again. Where do they meet, and what are they doing now? I'd like to see Severus doing something other than Potions or teaching, could be a related field or something completely different.
madeleone, your statement that Severus and Hermione are your "Bogey and Bacall" really struck a chord with me. When I received my assignment, I knew I had to find a way to work our heroes into one of B & B's movies. And which better than the one that started the real Bogey and Bacall romance?


I was totally blown away by this awesome fic. I had never seen the movie, but reading the Severus/Hermione version led me to seek it out as a Christmas gift for myself. Can't wait to watch it!
