Pleasant surprises are really, really underrated! :D Take this fic, for instance: I read "ghost of Severus Snape," and sighed disappointedly at the lack of snarry this would bring, preparing for the worst. =) And then... ;D (Or is that the fact that Harry, Snape is just as good as Harry/Snape?^^)
I love that there is hurt/comfort in this (b/c Snape *needs* his arse pinched more, just so he would have a better opinion of himself - For the Greater Good!^^), I love the magicaltheoryfic (aka the ghost vs spirit detail!^^), and what I *lovelovelove* is that snarry is still snarry even without the pwp, R, and NC-17 rating. :D As Harry said in the first movie (and book!), "...just [sn]arry!" (I edited what Harry said, a bit. Hope you don't mind! XD)
*goes to add to Memories here and wonders if can also add to Memories over on DW but doesn't know quite how* ?_?
