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.

ahem. I remind you that I just manipulated atra into ...

well, I *think* I did ...

and I was just bragging on my victory.

or maybe not. : ) she's generous and will let me think I did though.

Into what? Kicking your ass? Well done.

I remind you that I just manipulated atra into ...

Oh, you're a charming and controlling sub, too. And you've had years more experience at developing those skills than Atra has. She hardly stood a chance.

I think that's clear to us all, and it's also the secret of your success as the Reader's committee chair.

And it's also why I'll always lose, if I go up against you or Atra. I'm just not that subtle.

wonders what you are up to

When I'm "up to" anything, it's usually quite clear to my partner. Transparency and honesty work very well, for me. *smiles*
