oh man. i'm always chuffed (and surprised) when people enjoy sex scenes i write. and yes! in canon snape is constantly required to make this sacrifice of his desires and happinesses. i'm sure this is one of the things that makes him most compelling. what exactly is it that he's repressing? how can that seep out in certain situations? he's a wonderful character to write. (as i know you know :))
thank you, hon, for reading, and for this comment.
