Snape Manor

[icarus]

Woah. I've just spent the last [insert ridiculous number because I lost count] of hours talking to cordelia_v about Snape Manor. She now knows the entire plot as it stands now, and why I've been struggling with it.

Do I want to write this story? Even after two years it continues to haunt me.

Am I the last person to read In Between Days by atrata? Because if I'm not and you haven't, you must read this, as it's the finest, most uncompromisingly relentless characterisation of Snape I've ever read. Snape/Harry, NC-17.

For the time being, I'm off to write Percy/Snape. Or perhaps Jack/Daniel, I'm not sure which, but I'm writing something today.

Well, okay. I can write a dom. But only from a sub's POV.

But he's sub!Snape!

But he's sub!Snape!

No, he's quicksilver Snape. As impossible to pin down and define, in this respect, as in any other part of his personality. You are taking ambiguous! Snape to new levels, there.

Oooooh, that could make a nice role reversal in a Percy/Snape story. Snape allows Percy to think that he's the dom, at first (because Percy doesn't admit to himself that he's a sub, of course). Then, sub! Snape turns the tables on him. It would be a great mindfuck story.

I putting my hands up in the air here. I have no requests. I'm just interested in what comes up...

I truly am reading too much slash.
