Standing Still (Severus/Harry, suggested Harry/Teddy)
The whirl was distracting, even now. All Harry had ever wanted was a quiet life, somewhere he could be just Harry, but it never happened. There were the people, the fans, the demands on his time. The memories, the magic in him that ached to lash out at every annoyance. The feeling that there were a thousand voices in his head, screaming his name. There had never been a moment of peace.
Until Severus. Severus had helped him stand still. With Severus' hand on his back he could smile as required. Talk and nod when he was supposed to and laugh at the right moment. Severus quieted the screams and brought peace to Harry. Severus allowed him to keep control.
Then Severus was gone again.
Not gone.
Severus became yet another voice screaming in his head. And Harry was in a small room, so much like Dudley's second bedroom, right down to the hole in the door to push the food through.
Even here, alone in the small space, they didn't leave him. There was nowhere quiet to stand.
"Harry?"
Harry looked up into the eyes of his godson. "Teddy?"
Teddy touched his arm, and suddenly he was standing still.
Wow - this is great! Really interesting use of the pairings, I can't believe there is Snarry and Harry/Teddy (my love cross gen with next gen pair). This is so poignant and gorgeous - great job! Made my foolish heart wibble <3

“Kara, you need to help me. I have no idea what to get her.” Jason pleaded.
“Some stationery might be nice and a good book. She’d appreciate that, you know she’s into literature. Find something … you’ve heard her talk about. Like, she’s always wanted to find a nice-looking copy of one of Jane Austen’s books," Kara said, not even looking up from her cooking.
“Stationery? And books? Won’t they make a bit boring presents?” Jason asked frowning.
“This is Rose we’re talking about. Not some girl that cares only about her looks. If you don’t see that she’d love those, you don’t deserve to call yourself her boyfriend.” Kara snapped, glaring at Jason.
“Sorry, I see it now. Don’t kill me.”
They both knew she wouldn’t, he meant so much to Rose. On the other hand, if Jason would hurt her, they also both knew Kara would do everything but kill him.

It's not NC-17 necessarily, but just to make sure...
