I’m imagining something that could happen in Dogwood au. So you know that one part in O Mine Enemy where Snape gets so desperate for Harry to shut up that he slaps him? So what if something like that happened in Dogwood sometime after Snape saw a Dark dream? Like he’s gone without blood for a very long period of time, but Harry is being extremely insistent about being close to him, so he shoves Harry or slaps him in order to get him away. Imagine him being horrified because 1. He just HIT a kid and 2. That makes him WORSE than the monster Harry dreams about.

I made a whole ass comic but only part 1 is coloured rn so here it is on my main

a lil bit ago with that post about normal dogwood snape reacting to the other dogwood snapes, I was just wondering if I could use that distraught doodle of snape as a reaction image? It's just too perfect, I've been laughing at it for like, ten minutes, I love it.

YEAH

[breadzasks]

ok I know you have dogwood which is sort of like this but halve you thought about regressor Harry like their it’s trauma their don’t feels plausible like snap wondering what Harry is boing and Harry is just quiet I. His room just

Babi

like that fat baby meme I that goes

“ I was relieved to see it was just a baby then I took a closer look and realized ….. fat baby

You mean age regressing Harry ? I’ve read a few fics with that premise; I guess it’s sort of like Dogwood in that he gains an attachment to Snape a lot faster since he’s got a different mindset

Also you’ve gotta send the fat baby meme because for the life of me I can’t find it lol

Okay good dogwood Severus where Harry managed to get out into the backyard when transformed and got mud all over him. Now Sev has to give him a bath and Harry’s wolfy instinct HATES IT and he just stares at Sev with his sad little eyes with Sev is trying to not get soaked. The shower is finished and he gets dried off but hair gets so motherfucking fluffy when he is freshly showered, and it’s adorable

(a series of events inspired by me, giving my dog a shower yesterday)

Brilliant idea, this is my mangled take on it because my eyes glazed over the “good” part of “good dogwood” at first so Snape is irritated as usual . And the Evil One is there too

[breadzasks]

Thinking so hard about the two different ways Snape getting a glimpse into Harry’s mind after a Dark/Soft Dogwood dream could go.

on one hand, he would be horrified if he saw a Dark Dogwood dream. I think he’d feel terrible about the fact that Harry apparently sees him as an absolute monster (even though he doesn’t)

on the other hand, he would be sad and slightly disgusted if he saw a soft dogwood dream. He doesn’t WANT to be that father figure to Harry, but it still makes him sad that the boy is so desperate for love that he has to find it in his dreams.

in the first scenario, I can imagine him finding the Dark dream first, then seeing a Soft one later. He would be upset by the Dark dream, but find solace in the fact that Harry doesn’t seem to think that of him all the time

in the second scenario, I can see him seeing the Soft dream first, being slightly disgusted that that’s what Harry wants from him, then being absolutely heartbroken that the result of that disgust is that Harry is also imagining him abusing him

I’m making myself cry I love this au

Soft dream

Versus

Dark dream

I would’ve drawn these properly but I saw your ask while at school and was just too eager to visualize it to wait until I’d gotten home lol

It’d be even worse if Harry’s bad dreams involved Snape physically abusing him because then Snape would see himself acting exactly like his own father … but no , he’s just emotionally manipulative instead.

Anyway you have Snape’s character spot on here. He’d dislike seeing himself in either position, a father figure and an abuser, and each disturbs him differently . Seeing the soft dreams he wonders how Harry managed to delude himself into imagining Snape able to be as gentle and kindly as that; he doesn’t act anything like that enough to make Harry believe that, right?

The dark dreams make him feel sick. He doesn’t believe in divining meaning from dreams. He doesn’t believe there’s anything more in them than warped and shifted reflections of reality.

But that’s the problem : what part of his behaviour that he doesn’t consciously recognize (because he’s not like that, he doesn’t want to hurt Harry like that) is being reflected in Harry’s dark dreams?

Is part of that manipulative monster Harry dreams of actually real in Snape?

could we have some more Reverse Dogwood Snape and Dogwood Harry? My son needs comfort

Ggrhgrgh

Drinking wolvesbane together

Snape wants Harry to know how to react when encountering another werewolf who hasn’t taken wolvesbane

I was scrolling through your stuff because your artwork is awesome and you're awesome and I just saw one of your old asks of chicken severitus. And now I'm wondering, how many times can this be done with random ass animals? How many times can— *spontaneously throws vague reptile at you* any reptile. Gator, snake, any flavor of lizard. Hell, I once heard someone call birds 'feathered reptiles', just have fun with it.

both of em as Komodo dragons

Gator Snape and gecko Harry

Raven Snape and robin Harry

I think the Komodo one is funny because adult Komodo will eat the hatchlings of other Komodos. Also imagine Komodo Snape but gator Harry and since gators carry their babies in their mouths, Harry is hoping Snape will do that .

Does nuetral/good Severus pay the cheese tax when Harry is in wolf form?

(if you don’t know what the cheese taxes is it’s basically when dog owners will give their dogs, tiny pieces of cheese whenever they eat/use cheese)

This is me paying the cheese tax

Snape doesn’t because the only “cooking” he does at night is making tea and brewing

If Harry does need to eat while transformed, Snape served him food as if he was still human (otherwise it’d feel like he’s dehumanizing him)

unless Harry didn’t talk wolvesbane and is just acting as a wolf does , unable to even sit on a chair or stool. Then Snape would probably put his dish of food on the floor for him

[breadzasks]

Consider: a metric of seeing just how much happier Harry is with Snape that’s not him smiling more, talking more freely, or not flinching, but the way he sleeps.

when Harry first comes to Spinner’s End, he curls up as tight as he can on his bed. He’s used to having to squeeze into a tiny cupboard or protect himself even while asleep.

as the weeks go on, Harry uncurls just a little bit more. Each time Snape proves to him that he is safe.

by the end of the summer, he starfishes across his bed, blankets thrown around and messy, showing that he’s never been more comfortable in his life

I think about that a lot, but I haven’t the art skills to draw it

What do you think?

You may crucify me for not drawing this until now

Strange question-and sorry if it’s already been asked before!-but would Lupin being introduced to the situation do anything in the Dogwood AU? Or since he was also turned when he was young, and probably not around other werewolves either, would he not really know anything either?

Not a strange question at all ! It’s natural for Lupin to have some role in the AU eventually

He could offer some useful information because he was turned young; he’d know full well that young werewolves are comforted best during full moons by the presence of their parents, though because his parents were supportive of him and they were his actual parents, he wouldn’t know anything about the imprinting that happens between Harry and Snape ..,, which is really rare even between a werewolf adult and werewolf child, to say nothing of between a vampire and a werewolf .

Harry would def be curious about Lupin because Lupin was one of his parents’ friends! And he’s another werewolf!! But they wouldn’t be able to hang out together while transformed unless with wolvesbane because werewolves kill or drive away pups that aren’t their own, much like real wolves.

Snape would resent Lupin being there to help at all because of what happened with them and Sirius and James and the “prank”. He’d have to get past his animosity because Lupin does know more than he does about being a werewolf lol

Lupin is a bit reluctant about the whole thing. What happened to Harry reminds him a lot of what happened to himself, and it brings up terrible feelings and memories. He appears to divulge useful knowledge but is too afraid to actually be close to Harry ; he’s never been around a werewolf child before. He knows during full moons he’ll want to hurt Harry and be the monster he thinks they are.

So because Lupin isn’t present often enough for Harry to grow closer with him , Harry would end up even more attached to Snape instead.

PLEEEASSEEE PLEEAASEEE GIVE US SOMETHING SWEET. Please give us something that isn’t my poor baby being in pain all the time

This is a little bitter sweet but it’ll be a whole comic so ….

[breadzasks]

I dare you to draw Snape frantically trying to explain to Lucius how and why he's adopted Harry. Preferably like that one old meme of the guy with the cigarette and conspiracy board (I think it's from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?), but I'll take anything. I just thought it would be funny.

A bit ooc but yes it’s funny

[breadzasks]

Do you think that evil dogwood Severus treats Harry more like a dog to de-humanized him. Like we already have collars imagine he’s forced to eat dog food or being locked in a kennel

Thing is, dark Dogwood Snape is def sadistic, but he’s more emotionally abusive … It’s important that Harry always has the illusion of choice to whatever cruel idea Snape comes up with , because that gives him a hand in his own suffering. He can blame himself for his situation (if only he said no! If only he wasn’t so desperate to please!) instead of just being helpless to Snape’s bidding

[breadzasks]

What do you think Harry’s and or Severus animagi forms would be?

Since bats usually live in big colonies I don’t think they suit Snape that much but it’s funny so I still like it .

Really it’d make more sense for Harry to be the animal with poor eyesight bc he’s the one who wears glasses … but I don’t think he’s much like a bat otherwise

[breadzasks]

(Last one I promise)

So you say that both evil dogwood au and happy dogwood au happen as Harry’s dreams, SO how would that affect (effect?) how real Harry interacts with snape

(An interesting plot point could be Harry developing insomnia and being scared to sleep)

Answering to this one first because I’ve thought of the insomnia plot for so long I’m excited to talk about it !!!

Harry doesn’t get scared to sleep, but he does sleep very poorly since getting turned into a werewolf. Not as long as he used to, waking up feeling still exhausted, gets sleepy during the day …

And he has these strange dreams that seem so real, like a past life, or an alternate one …

Harry usually has the nice dreams of soft Dogwood after he’s had a bad experience with Snape in the day, maybe irritated Snape or got startled by him. The dream makes him subconsciously hope for/expect better the next day, which Snape picks up on and is confused and unnerved by.

Obviously Harry doesn’t often get what he hopes for, so the soft dreams just set him up for a heartache he doesn’t know why he feels.

THE BAD DREAMS, HOWEVER

He gets them AFTER he’s had a nice experience with Snape. Maybe Snape let Harry help him brew, they coexisted in the same room without Snape up and leaving randomly, or Snape looked Harry in the eyes for longer than 2.5 seconds.

And then the dream of dark Dogwood scares Harry into acting warily the next day, just waiting for Snape to switch up on him because he knows good things never last, and they weren’t even that good in the first place …

Meanwhile Snape is just confused again because why is the child acting skittish AGAIN when they were just fine around each other yesterday ???

So Harry’s brain is kinda sabotaging him ! Nothing good ever lasts because he’s too scared to let it :P

Bonus: the only way Harry could get a good night of sleep is if it was by Snape’s side. Of course , that isn’t possible, until he gets physically sick from stress and lack of sleep

[breadzasks]

Do you think Harry likes chew toys(dogwood au)?

Yes and no ! Chew toys could help expend the energy werewolves get when transformed (lessen the kill drive maybe)

I was actually thinking about werewolves teething preciously. And I saw this clip of someone suggesting parents put a bit of chilled fruit like a mango into a baby’s pacifier to help them with teething because it tastes good and the cool temp helps the aching gums…

And obviously Harry isn’t a teething baby, but after his first full moon, his canines and premolars are permanently sharper and ache a bit for a while, so Snape could cut up some fruit for him :3
