I started in the Harry Potter fandom in early 2003.  Before I'd read any of the books, I'd become hooked on Snape/Hermione stories, particularly Abby's impressive work.  However, once I devoured the books and fell head over heels for JKR's incredible creation, Harry James Potter, it wasn't long before I was going down that slippery slope again, this time dragging the Boy Who Lived along with me.  

Big, Hairy Warning: These stories contain SLASH, which is a romantic/sexual relationship between two men or two women. Also, Harry is eighteen to nineteen in the first three fics. If you are underage or not interested in this subject matter, please go away NOW.



A Taste of Liberty 

Rating: NC-17 for language, sexual content and slash

Pairing: HP/SS

Summary:   Before the final battle, Harry Potter plays hooky and learns about another world.

Disclaimer and Acknowledgments:  The characters of Harry Potter, Severus Snape and the world of Harry Potter are the property of J.K. Rowling and her various publishers. The characters and world of Queer as Folk belong to Ron Cowen, Daniel Lipman and Cowlip Productions. Fuzzy Oathammer is taken from "The Lady Eve", by the insanely funny American auteur Preston Sturges. The concept of the 'body count' Harry speaks about in Chapter 6 is shamelessly stolen from the Due South fic "A Moment of Insight" by the amazingly talented Speranza. Excerpts from "i thank You God for most this amazing" by ee cummings used without permission. No copyright infringement is intended. No profit is being made from this story.

Author's notes:  I am not given to crossovers, but this just struck me as an interesting juxtaposition, for a number of reasons. This story was begun before the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and so the events of that book are not reflected in it. There is the mention of one OOTP beastie in Chapter 28, because I couldn't resist.
 
Thanks: To Jim, who has now crossed over into Pottermania; to Barbara, who pointed out that Dumbledore was actually Transfigurations master before becoming headmaster; to all the people who have taken the time to comment on the story and recommend it to others; and particularly to Femme, my Evil TwinTM (or maybe I'm the Evil Twin), who was so supportive and helpful throughout.
