Non-AO3 fic rec masterlist post

[danadiadea]

"The wardrobe burst open. Hook-nosed and menacing, Professor Snape stepped out, his eyes flashing at Neville. Neville backed away, his wand up, mouthing wordlessly. Snape was bearing down upon him, reaching inside his robes."

That's what Neville's boggart does when he transforms into Snape. So Neville isn't afraid of Snape insulting him, saying he's worthless or something. Neville isn't afraid of Snape harming him or Trevor. Boggart!Snape is "reaching inside his robes" – but if Neville was afraid of a particular action of Snape's, I think the boggart would perform it right away. It's not like it had actual pockets it'd need to pull things out of instead of just having them in Snape's hand initially.

Boggart!Snape is hook-nosed, menacing, with flashing eyes, bears down upon Neville (moves scarily), reaches inside his robes (does something shady). So Neville is afraid of Snape because Snape is scary. He just looks scary. Moves scary. It's not that Neville is afraid for himself in Snape's presence. It's not that he's afraid of Snape’s behaviour. He thinks that Snape is scary like a severed hand or a bloody eyeball are to other students.

Honestly, Snape's attitude and authority and mean comments and awfully challenging for Neville subject were all a part of Neville's fear, sure, but the fact that Snape was a very pale, tall (for Neville at least), hook-nosed man in black clothes in a dim dungeon with dubious ingredients was ALSO a part of Neville's fear of Snape.

Never thought of this before. Makes sense though. I mean, Molly's was her childrens' already dead bodies. Harry's was a dementor approaching (which is all a dementor has to do to mean eminent death). If Neville was actually afraid of Severus doing something horrifying to him, boggart Severus would have been holding Trevor's dead form or pointing a wand at Neville's face. But he was just *looking* intimidating. Very poignant and excellent point.

💚Severus's Every Flavor of Smuts💚

[nightingale2004]

The reason I became a snape fan.

When I was a kid and watched the Harry Potter movies, I didn't like Severus at all. I found him quite terrifying, actually, and I didn't really remember much of the movies. When I was introduced to the marauders, I had the biggest crush on Sirius, and I would even imagine being friends with them.

But then, when I rewatched the Harry Potter movies and even looked at the books. I didn't like the marauders at all because of what they did to Severus, and I also realized that Severus, both as a person and as a character, was the literal definition of "appearances can be deceiving".

Severus literally dressed up and delivered his presence the same way a normal supervillain in any action movie would. But then, when it was revealed that he wasn't actually trying to hurt our hero but to save his life along with looking after him and helping him reach victory, I felt completely guilty for misjudging him.

I then dug myself deeper into the Snape fandom, and I learned a lot about him from both the movies and books and how people could relate to him.

I don't excuse the man's actions for bullying children and all that. But I will say, given his situation and the fact that he has dozens of unpacked trauma and issues, he never unpacked. I can imagine all that baggage can make anyone similar to Severus. Especially if they have been tormented, bullied, SA'd, manipulated, and abused throughout their whole life just because of who you were, where you came from, and what you looked like.

I found myself even relating to Severus because I have been through similar situations in my life. To me, Severus was this character that deserved pure happiness. He was a character with flaws. He was a character that most people quickly judged, including myself.

Severus gave everything to protect his students, including Harry, despite him being the child of his bully. He may dislike Harry because he looks like James, but he still protects him and keeps him alive.

I believe if Severus had the time to heal and deal with his trauma that he had carried around for centuries, then he would've been much happier.

I fell completely in love with severus as a character because of who he was inside and out and how people saw him.

I even managed to understand who the marauders and their fans really were.

Severus doesn't deserve the hate given to him but deserves respect for how much he sacrificed and given for the order, to Dumbledore, and to Harry. Severus made mistakes, he did bad things, he is a grey character, and he is human.

Like I said, I'm not excusing his actions towards his students, but I salute this man because of what he did. He became a spy for the order, protected the child of his childhood best friend and bully, tried to save the life of one of his tormenters, brewed wolfsbane for the other, tricked the dark lord, tricked the Death eaters, risked his life countless times, protected his students to the best of his abilities, and tried to save as many as he could.

Others want to romanticize the death eaters because they find them attractive, including FREAKING VOLDEMORT AND BELLATRIX. I will never understand them.

But these are one of the many many reasons why I side with Severus. He is truly a brave, caring, and protective soul once you truly dig deeper and get to know him. He may be scary, he may not be the most appealing to you, and he may look like a classic villain. But there is soooo much more to him than meets the eye, and I salute the fanfic writers and the Snape fandom for seeing it too. I also know that Alan probably saw it, too, and he would be incredibly proud of what the Snape fandom has made as a community and as fans.

So this is my reason. Please respect that. If you don't like that, then ignore this post.

“Don't be shocked, Severus. How many men and women have you watched die?”

“Lately, only those whom I could not save,” said Snape.
