Notes: Post-Deathly Hallows AU, rather cracky.



"Oh, hey, whaddaya know." A man passing on Nicollet Mall stopped and grinned at Severus. "Twins."

His face. His voice.

That accent.

That horrible, horrible accent.

"Only if you were born ninth of January, nineteen-sixty, and adopted out of Manchester, England," snapped Severus.

"Hey! Whaddaya know? We are twins!"

He hadn't survived Nagini's bite, after all. He had died, and gone to hell, and this was his eternal torment, in penalty for the never-to-be-expiated sins of his youth.

"Welcome to the Twin Cities, twin brother!"

Severus blinked. "I'm not dead. Am I?" he added hopefully.

His twin frowned. "No."

Damn.

Notes: AU fate of Severus Snape. Of course. ;-)



He remembered, always, the first time he had realized that Lily was dead.

As in, truly, madly, deeply realized.

She wasn't coming back. To him. To life. Ever.

And Severus had decided that he wanted more in his life than a memory.

He had celebrated his illumination by heading out to a Muggle bar and getting laid.

With every act of making love, always to a Muggle, he erased another layer of damnation for having ever uttered the unpardonable word.

And now, baptized in the tears of Fawkes, Severus was finally set free.

He went forth, and sinned no more.

Ten drabbles featuring The Professor and Professor Snape!

I wrote these for Writercon100 on LJ, inspired by the fact that Gilligan's Island was on their list of small fandoms to write for. Of course I had to make them crossover fics, because, well, what's fanfic without Severus Snape? ;-) I had fun writing these; have fun reading them!

Summary: Ten drabbles, each complete in itself but all of them related in plot, setting, and *ahem* characterization.



( #1: The Professor and The Professor )

( #2: Essential Experimentations in Frivolity )

( #3: The Fly in the Denouement )

( #5: Shipshape )

( #6: The Professor to the Rescue )

( #7: Getting Naked )

( #8: Such Sweet Sorrow )

( #9: Professors in Paradise )

And the Epilogue:

( #10: The Pleasurable Secrets of Professor Hinkley )

Realistically, all romantic fantasy aside, I think Severus and Lily had a circumstantial, superficially-founded childhood friendship that both of them would have outgrown, even if Severus had never become a Death Eater. Based on what we see in the texts, it appears that Lily had started to pull away from Severus once they got to Hogwarts and she discovered other friends who could also do magic. Lily and Severus really don't seem to have been all that comparable, or compatible, in terms of intellectual capacity and personality, and Severus seems to have read far more into the friendship than Lily ever did.

I think the forces of survivor guilt and idealizing the memory of the dead had more to do with Severus' devotion in later years than a True Love based upon a solid and genuine soulmate-level friendship. A good counselor would have pointed this out to him within the first few years of Lily's death, but, alas, poor Severus had no good counselors available to him, only Albus Dumbledore.

So here's how I think it would have played out, had Severus given up his Death Eater associations and had he ended up marrying Lily. And now that I think about it, it kind of says a few things about his devotion to her in canon, too... ;-)


Title: Childhood's End
Author: bohemianspirit
Genre: AU, Het
Pairing: Severus/Lily
Rating: PG

Summary: Severus had known for a long time that he and Lily were growing apart, but an early morning conversation about their marriage still leaves him in shock.

Notes: Originally written as a bit of Creative Meta. ;-) Story title shamelessly lifted from Arthur C. Clarke, because it fits.
