#snape fest

Here’s another of my favorite fests - this one dedicated to my favorite HP character of all time, the one who spawns - erm, inspires my fic-writing obsession. The Snape Showcase has been running since 2011, with a four-year hiatus in the middle, and I’ve written for it four separate times, which I say as proof of my devotion because I’m absolute rubbish at fests. By the way, it’s not an exchange; Snapecase’s guiding principle is Snape through the decades. So when you sign up, you writers and artists who love this morally grey, spiteful, guilt-ridden, complicated arsehole, you’ll have to choose from five categories, each spanning one decade of Severus Snape’s life. And it has a firm limit of ~10,000 words, the length of a single LiveJournal post, which for me, rambling and tangent-prone as I am, is both an agony and a useful challenge.
So this is another fest full of wonderful fanworks with a highly organized and marvelous mod. Yes, you have to sign up for a free LiveJournal account in order to participate, but on the other hand, you get to roll around in Snapey goodness. I’m even considering signing up again for a fifth go-round, partly because I won’t have to worry about defaulting on a recipient. And because I can’t entirely shake the belief that this time, for once in my life, I won’t end up asking for a deadline extension. I mean, miracles do happen. ❤️

When his mother suggested it, Severus knew it was doomed to failure. They had never done anything like this before, and the young Slytherin had the impression that there was a reason for it.
The first creak of the stairs. The first doubt. They were both coming down, he hadn't seen them yet, but he already knew the expression on his father's face. He didn't want to be here at all, he didn't want to hear it, he didn't want to see him in the robes of a school whose customs he had no idea about. But my mother thought it was a good idea.
Honestly, their conversation didn't go as bad as he thought. He even skipped commenting at the sight of a rat. They quarreled only later, when all the expenses were added up. He didn't interfere because what was he supposed to say? It was actually a bit absurd, but… It was impossible to patch up the holes left by potions. It wasn't just any hole, and he…
He really liked experimenting with them.
Maybe he should actually take better care of his things?
If you think about it, in his entire life, Tobias Snape had only seen his son in his school uniform a handful of times. Those few minutes when he and his mother returned from shopping, and she talked him into showing up, were the longest of them.
thanks for reading!

older Snape fans, what are your oldest works like?
i’m curious 🤭
found the old display book where i stored my second (and longest)(and unfinished) fanfic and i’ll have you know the highlight was Severus stabbing a dragon in the throat with a poisoned dagger to save Hogwarts, in front of everyone 🙌🏻
he was able to jump on the dragon because he had ✨angel wings✨ black covered in ebony feathers, of course 🖤
and every chapter had deep poetic introductory quotes bc i was a dramatic teenager.

FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN 🧟
The Voldemort Brainrot server presents ‘Feed My Frankenstein’! The FMF Fest encourages and celebrates the good, the bad, and the ugly of monsters. The goal of this fest is to take a pairing and turn one — or both — characters into monsters — or if they are already so, explore canon further. One character must be a Death Eater, but the other is free to choose.
This is inclusive but not restricted to Tomarry, Tomione, Volmione, and Harrymort. Do whatever pairing you please, as long one is a Death Eater!
Although run directly by @screamingmandrakes, this fest is the group effort of the members of the Voldemort Brainrot Discord server. Due to the nature of the server, it is 18+ and the fest adheres to the same rules. The FMF fest is not directly a dead dove one, but it is encouraged :)
That being said, you do not have to write dead dove! Write what you please.
Promoting: 2.28-03.07
Prompt submissions: 03.07-03.21
Prompt claiming: 03.21- 04.04
Writing window: 04.04-07.04
Works Revealed: 07.11
If you’d like to keep up with us behind the scenes, join our server!
Banner credit to desmathewu! Thanks for the help! Sorry it’s not letting us tag 🥲

@hprecfest Day 2 - A Comfort fic
Regretfully Yours by @maria-de-salinas
Severus/ Petunia. Explicit.
The unexpectedly tender and intimate romance between Severus and Petunia - post the events of First War- tops this list. Maria has a way of writing care, intimacy with such loving attention to detail, it blows me away in all of her work. This also has a sequel!
Summary:
1981 was not Petunia's year. The day before New Year's Eve, determined to make a fresh start of it, she straps Harry and Dudley into the car and flees north--only to hit into the biggest snowstorm she's ever seen in her life. Grief-stricken and dazed by his pivot from Death Eater to teacher, Severus Snape spends his holiday far from everyone, wandering aimlessly through the snow. The last thing either of them wanted was their paths to collide, but when Petunia gets stuck in the snow, they'll get stuck with each other.
2. Not bright or noble, but almost sublime by @yletylyf
Severus/Sirius raising Harry. Explicit.
I remember talking to Lety when we connected in Snirius fandom: "Where are the fluffy fics? Where are the raising Harry fics?" Of course, Snirius fandom as a whole is interested in the tension and delicious angst of Sirius and Severus together, often veering to darker territories - so it was a relief when Lety started writing this! A very fun Snirius raising Harry story.
Summary:
On that fateful Halloween night in Godric's Hollow, Severus Snape and Sirius Black unite in a common cause: find the Secret-Keeper who betrayed their best friend. Or: A temporary truce turns into something much more.
3. The Dog and Deer Detective Agency by @artemisia-black
Sirius/OFC.
If you ever wanted to see Sirius Black in a noir-esque mystery, this is your fic. Not only is Artemisia good at building the luxuriant atmosphere for the foreboding story, this is a good exploration of Sirius in an alternate universe without threat of Voldemort. He is a freer version of the man you might see in canon, but still has that family baggage. There is also tons of baby Harry and Sirius cuteness (yes, that is my catnip- Harry and Sirius are my favourite dynamic in canon)
Summary:
Set in an AU where Voldemort is never born. James and Sirius are both the best of friends and brilliant wizards, and not wanting to be tied down to a 9-to-5, they founded a detective agency. A year in, they have had a steady business from scorned spouses until one day a woman arrives and draws them into a sinister plot in the Scottish Highlands.
sore subject by @incalculablepower
Lavendar Brown/Parvati Patil & Demelza Robbins/Parvati Patil
No one gets the romantic comedy #vibe of Half Blood Prince quite like Incalculable Power. This fic is special among her work because she captures an experience lot of queer women go through - an intense codependent friendship that is just waiting to edge into romance.
Summary:
The High Priestess, reversed. Trust your intuition. Your true self is waiting; she refuses to be contained for much longer.
Orchards by @whinlatter
Harry/Ginny.
Whinlatter dropped into the fandom with a 17k fic written about the summer Harry and Ginny fell in love, and it was utterly beautiful tribute to first loves, Harry, Ginny and also, the third character: the orchard. Even when the fic weaved in the grief Harry is still dealing with and references the war years, it is infused with hope for the future.
Summary:
The orchard is a wild, thousand-flower, crumpled-gate, fall-down-fence sort of place, where things grow that you’ve never asked for, that you’d never expect. The summer of ’96, the story of something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow.

Snapetober Day 30: Ghost + Minvember Day 2: Scotland
This is a real folktale, very slightly modified, from Uist, Scotland. It was recorded by M. F. Shaw from the bard Seonaidh Caimbeul.
"Have we not celebrated enough? The pumpkins? The gory food? The costumes? What more do you want, headmaster?"
Albus took a seat next to Severus, settling himself in the armchair rather carefully as he was holding a teacup, full to the brim. He merely smiled.
"You did not even dress up, Severus. And I was thinking - what about ghost stories? It would be a nice way to finish the evening. Wouldn't it, Minerva?"
The Potions Master rolled his eyes. He was still standing next to his chair, his arms folded and a usual scowl on his face; those who knew him well, though, could tell, after scrupulous observation, that there was a hint of amusement in it.
He sat in the armchair next to him unceremoniously, as though he had been forced to and not merely - and very civilly - invited to join the group. 
"I know one", Minerva replied, handing him a cup of tea with a cunning smile. "My mother told it to me when I was a girl. It is from Uist, I believe."
"Indulge us, Minerva", Severus muttered, accepting the hot beverage. "Albus seems to be in dire need of embracing his inner child tonight."
"And you should too, sometimes, my boy", the headmaster remarked humorously. "It would do you good."
"Now that sounds properly terrifying."
"Should I tell it, yes or no?" Minerva interrupted them, her eyebrow raised. 
Her expression was very teacher-like. Albus Held up his hands apologetically. 
"Pardon us, my dear. Do proceed."
Minerva put down her cup and cleared her throat, dusting her robes as she gathered her thoughts. Around them the staffroom was dark, save from the halo of light where they were sitting: it emanated from the fireplace behind them, and in it, the embers were dark red.
"There was a shepherd who lived in his father's cottage, on the high slope of Beinn Mhòr. He had a wife and a daughter, and the daughter was deaf and numb. His father was a very old man of a very evil temper, and one night he fell ill, and died. So the husband and his wife placed him in a bier, and the shepherd set out to town to bring back people to help him carry the body. The mother, with her little child, sat next to the fire in silence."
In the fireplace, a piece of wood, almost entirely consumed, fell from the burning pile with a thud.
"Suddenly, the mother heard the corpse move. And so the child looked up and spoke her first words: "Grandfather is rising. He will eat you; but he won't touch me."
Albus cast her a horrified glance.
"The mother caught the child and fled to the nearest bedroom", Minerva continued, "and she bared the door with everything she could find. The corpse rose and came to the door, and he began to dig away the earth under the lintel with his white hands. The mother and her girl saw his fingers, then his arms, then his head appear - but at this moment the cock crew and he led completely still."
At this point, even Severus had stopped sipping his tea.
"The corpse was there until the shepherd came back with men from the village and lifted him back onto the bier. The mother and child watched as he was pulled below the door, his horrible smiling face disappearing last. They buried him in a graveyard on the north side of Loch Eynort, at a place called An t-Uchd uidhe. There is a hole where he is buried, and you can still see it to this day."
Then, with a content smile and innocent countenance, Minerva picked up her teacup, humming softly while both her colleagues stared at her with their mouths hanging slightly open. Their own tea was long forgotten.
"That's your children's ghost story?" Severus finally said, pulling himself together. "That's the kind of bedside story your mother told you as a child?"
Minerva smiled facetiously.
"That's the Gaelic spirit for you, dear", she replied in an angelic tone.
"He will eat you, but he won't touch me?"
Albus still had not spoken. The Potion Master, turning his head slightly, glanced at him quickly. Then, turning back to Minerva, he said ironically:
"If he cannot sleep tonight and ends up knocking on your door, that is on you and the Gaelic spirit."

Non AO3 HP Fest Masterlists

Salt and Pepper Fest 2023 (DW): Focusing on characters over 50 years of age, in canon or not

And here are two older masterlist directories on Livejournal.

One look from him was enough for Severus to hide here with the book. He thought that the summer behind him would change him a little, give him a drop of courage, but it didn't. But it's only a moment. This is just a snippet of his life, a snippet they will remember as a warning.
He was sitting alone under a tall tree at the edge of the castle courtyard, where autumn was blooming in all its majesty. The surrounding leaves had transformed into a real palace of shades of orange, red, and gold. It was, however, a series of colors muffled by a delicate mist falling around. October was doing its dance, the wind winding around the branches and gently whispering comforting sighs to him. “Calm down, Severus, it wasn't all that bad,” his only friend in such situations – his imagination – tried to suggest anything to stop the tide of tears streaming down his flushed cheeks.
Despite his strong stubbornness, Severus couldn't stop. He's stuck here again for a few hours, on the cold ground, where he probably shouldn't be sitting in this weather. And cried. And cried. And cried. And Severus didn't cry beautifully. He wasn't one of those people who stared into space and thought about their pain. Severus was sobbing, Severus was shaking, grunting, blowing his nose every now and then, he was as loud as he could possibly be, although everything inside him was screaming for him to be quiet. Because he really wanted to go back to the castle. He wanted to sneak up to the Slytherin dormitory and at least listen to what was being talked about in the common room, but the idea of running into James Potter again terrified him. Severus knew full well that he would have to walk past the Quidditch playing field, if he wanted to do so.
thanks for reading!

still on my backdated @hprecfest grind with...
day five: favourite fics which aren't from ao3
the cactus and the toad by mirrormarie neville longbottom & severus snape teen | 73k words
why i recommend it:
i am, as regular readers of my ramblings will be aware, on the record that snape's treatment of neville is something we need to examine primarily as a narrative device - he's so cruel to him because he's a mean teacher in a children's story, that's the starting point - and this fic does just that, examining how neville comes to terms with his childhood experiences of snape as he looks at them from the other side of the war.
it also does something i always enjoy seeing - it examines how post-war closure looks to characters who aren't harry, and how their reckoning with snape (who is alive - very much against his will - in this story) will be very different than harry's own.
and it's a striking piece of writing in that it is one of the only fics i've seen which approaches a 'cure' for frank and alice longbottom that does not magically fix everything, but which has results which are only partial and which are only the beginning of a road to recovery. i think that's important.
snape stared at it, then at neville, and neville saw, with considerable glee, that snape's natural impulse to say something nasty was warring with his obvious worry that neville would take the cactus away if provoked.
Tumblr media
come slowly, eden by paimpont molly weasley/lord voldemort mature | 3k words
why i recommend it:
yes, you've read the pairing right.
because it does what all rare pair fics seek to do, and takes two characters whom it should be impossible to imagine any sort of love story between and manages it, through a brilliantly skilful character study of molly and her hopes and her contradictions.
he sat perfectly still, immovable. molly turned slowly around and busied herself at the stove, stirring the soup with an unsteady hand. if only he would kill me right now and leave, she thought. before the others come back. she could feel his glance lingering on her as she worked. she moved more slowly than usual, stirring the fragrant soup that needed no more stirring and adding pinches of unnecessary spices.
he made a slight noise, a quiet rustling of his cloak. molly turned halfway around and caught a glimpse of the white expressionless face. and suddenly she knew: he was hungry. molly always knew when someone was hungry.
Tumblr media
the english opening by lordrowantree fleur delacour/ron weasley teen | 55k words
why i recommend it:
because it respects ron's canonical rizz and asks the very important question: what would happen if fleur said yes when he asked her to the yule ball?
and, in doing so, it also respects all the rest of ron's canonical traits - his intelligence, his kindness, his big-picture thinking, his sense of daring - and uses them to offer an exploration of fleur's character which is considerably kinder and more nuanced than the one she receives in canon.
plus, it'll teach you something about chess, which is a bonus.
as ron pulled out the pieces, fleur looked out at the setting sun. it was just above the tops of the mountains and it painted the sky an incredible, vibrant red. it lit up ron's face and hair so that it looked like he was wreathed in flames like the gods of old. maybe, she admitted to herself, britain wasn't all bad.
