Bring Back the Bastard

Title: The Ballad of Severus Snape
Author: writcraft
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Unrequited Severus/Lily
Rating: G
Word Count: ~1,300
Content/Warnings: Canonical character death, canon twist with events during the Battle for
Hogwarts.
Prompt: Excerpt from The Ballad of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde.
Author’s Notes: My peculiar muse demanded a poem told loosely in the ballad style of the
Wilde poem on which the prompt was based. I am frankly a little terrified of this posting and for all of
those poets amongst you, I can only offer my sincerest apologies for butchering your craft.

Prompt: 60: "I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses...
I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death..."
So why didn't Snape ever bewitch the mind, ensnare the senses, bottle fame, brew glory, or stopper death? Or did he?
Summary: "White is the dust of the state of dreaming, Light is the mixture to make one still, Dark is the powder of Death's redeeming, Mark but that one pinch can kill" -- Sooj Tucker, 'Mushroom Song'
Notes: This prompt went through so many incarnations. I am finally calling this one it. Hopefully it conveys something other than the filler likes strong allergy meds. :P

Prompt: Guest Art
Summary: Having a (severe!) teacher for a parent is not always fun...
Notes: I know, I know – Snape and His Daughter, the idea has been the source of many a horrible fanfic. But it happens to be one of my favourite things to speculate about. It’s just so much fun! I am convinced that Snape would be a responsible and concerned father. But a nice daddy? Never! He’d be much the same with his own children as he is with his students, I think... Only even more demanding.

Prompt: 81: Give us your take on the following scene: Harry whipped around again. His potion sample lay in pieces on the floor, and Snape was watching him with a look of gloating pleasure. "Whoops," he said softly. "Another zero, then, Potter..." (OoTP)
Summary: If occlumency lessons had a been an inherently violent and dangerous dialogue, then this was the public realisation of it, incased in a framework of trivial pedagogical abuse, but speaking of war, spies and bitter revenge.
