BAD TASTE!

i doubt i'll ever engage with the hp fandom like i used to. lately i've been deleting a bunch of stuff that no longer sparks joy, which is surprisingly a lot of it, but i did come across this again, which... i never posted it here but it is one of my favourite things i ever wrote. if you forgive the cringe, it's like a love letter to my love for snape, lmao. like, if i think of little thirteen year old me, half-homeless but with these damn books, writing fic in the back of my school books, i think she'd be proud that i managed to write this? i think she'd like it, which is maybe why part of i do so much.

you're probably better off reading it over on ao3, because the formatting is a little iffy and also it's 30k words, but also because ao3 has the really gorgeous art that goes with this. seriously, i was so lucky to get the artists i did.

i hope this comes back to haunt you
