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.

Maybe you'll feel more inspired after reading Book 6?

It's less a matter of inspiration -- any story that hangs on for years is desperate to be written -- and more a matter of... it's a hard story to bring myself to write.

But yes, I am looking forward to Book Six. Would it be too much ask to have Percy suddenly leave the Ministry in a quiet flurry of scandal as the twins laugh themselves sick at rumours of his being caught with a man -- with Percy refusing to leave his room at the Burrow (while his worried mother brings him trays of food and tells him through the door don't listen to what people say, she knows it's not true)?

Pretty please? It's not like this Pope is going to cut Rowling any slack anyways.
