While everyone is free to chose what they want to do, sometimes prompts from other people can create unexpected plot or art bunnies. Those poor, homeless bunnies need feeding.
Post your prompts here and let the bunnies go wild.
Please remember that these prompts are neither a must, nor set in stone, nor a gift to the prompt giver. Participants can take them, mangle them, change them and aren't obliged to credit or thank you. It really is just a throwing out of ideas to tickle the muses. The results will be gifts for all of us. And especially for our birthday boy.
Prompt Table
| 1 | Though the rest of his colleagues think he should stay at Hogwarts, Severus explores other employment opportunities after the war, with varying levels of success. |
| 2 | Severus catches a glimpse of (insert your desired canon character here)’s bare feet and he has become obsessed with them: he worships them and wants to do all sorts of naughty things with them (and eventual the rest of their body). |
| 3 | Severus meets a former Hogwarts or Order colleague or student (insert your desired canon character here) somewhere outside of wizarding Britain in a club (it could be a dance, book, scrapbooking, or BDSM club--let your imagination fly!). They decide to pursue their desires with no obligations, no strings. Of course, they both fall for each other. |
| 4 | Severus got stolen again but this time is something as important as is life. What lengths will he go to get it back. |
| 5 | Headmaster's life sure is busy and stressful, but when you have every Hogwarts secret in your hands something fun might just come of it. Especially if Severus can use them in Voldie's back and against him. |
| 6 | Someone in the Department of Mysteries comes up with the theory that only those without a soul can fly. Dementors don't have a soul and can fly. Since Voldemort could fly, and everyone knows that his soul was severely damaged, the DoM thinks that they are on the right track. They remember that Severus Snape, who has lived in peaceful solitude after the war, can fly, too. What happens now? |
| 7 | Interaction between Severus and Petunia that acknowledges their shared past-could be a Snarry or perhaps Severus has orders from Dumbledore to watch the Dursleys. I think there is so much potential for rich dialog between them. |
| 8 | Post-war Severus having to work with Neville in some way-whether at Hogwarts and they are both professors or a private potions lab, with Neville as the resident herbologist. Just some sort of situation where they have to work through their past differences. |
| 9 | It's after the war and Headmaster Snape is still at Hogwarts. One of the pre-adolescent next gen kids develops a big-time crush on Snape. And one of Snape's former students (could be Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Draco, Ron, Fleur, or pretty much any of the Weasleys) tries to nip the one-sided romance in the bud, only to develop a big-time crush of their own.
|
| 10 | In the course of their job (whatever it may be) someone accidentally (on purpose?) brings Snape back from the dead. Can be romantic or not. |
| 11 | Snape dies exactly as he does in canon, but through an accident some years later someone gets thrown back in time. Can they really allow events to play out the way they did before? And how does their meddling affect the current time-line? |
| 12 | Severus' trips to Hogwarts on the Express. Could be any year or all of the years. |
| 13 | Severus discovers he is distantly related to Sirius Black. How does he handle this information? Would he use it to torment the other man, or would it torment Severus?
|
| 14 | Narcissa secretly loves Severus and leaves Lucius for him. Post first war, or during second war. |
| 15 | Set during POA, Severus discovers the truth about how the Dursleys have been treating Harry. Petunia gets a surprise visit. Extra points if Vernon shows up and Severus makes him jealous out of spite. |
| 16 | Non-magic AU. Snape/Male of your choice. Reality TV show contestants in the vein of Big Brother. |
| 17 | From my favorite Springsteen song, Brilliant Disguise:
I want to read your mind and know just what I've got in this new thing I've found |
| 18 | After being bitten by Nagini, Severus's back-up plan goes awry, when instead of transferring his soul to Harry (the better to defeat the Dark Lord), the spell targets Hermione instead. Hijinks ensue. (Yes, this would be an ss/hg All of Me - though I suppose it would work for other HP characters as well) |
| 19 | awkwardly flirting ss/hg (ss in/with reading glasses, please)
Room with a View pose (ss/hg): see my blog for reference - 1st picture preferable. |
| 20 | Voldemort wasn't the only one to make a Horcrux... Now it's up to Severus' lover (in my head that would be Lucius, but go with whomever works for you :) ) to help him regain a body. |
| 21 | Fluffy Snarry - with Ron/Hermione on the side |
| 22 | AU. In Harry's sixth year, an accident in the DoM causes Lily Potter, moments away from giving her life for Harry, forward in time. Snape gets a second chance with his oldest friend/love of his life. Pity about what's happening to the timestream. |
| 23 | MWPP era. Someone is brewing and selling extremely potent love potions at Hogwarts. Snape is accused and must clear his name before he's expelled. |
| 24 | Lily doesn't think much of Beedle and enlists Snape's help to write a fairytale where Muggles are portrayed more positively. |
| 25 | Severus, having survived the war, has rebuilt his life in a new place with new people. As Severus is celebrating his 50th birthday with his new friends and/or family, someone from his old life crashes the party. |
| 26 | In Book 1, JKR tells the reader that Harry read some of his new school books before coming to Hogwarts. We know for example that Harry started with 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi because it was something he was already used to doing at the Dursleys. How would playing up this fact change the relationship between Harry and Snape? Snape mentorship preferred. |
