Ahhahahaha, oh Kat, before I even had a chance to look at the artwork, my eye fell on "spoogin' up the altar" and I burst out laughing. Ahem. You are the best.

Now on to the evil, sexy, perverted, blasphemous, wonderful art. First I want to commend you for your use of chiaroscuro, the way the filtered light dapples their faces and slants across Harry's bright, spanked arse and makes Snape's cassock glow. And how the shadows evoke the interior of a church, the high windows and deep naves and the whiff of frankincense.

Then Harry and his corset and his poor, abused nipples and OMG, the rosary pulled tight around his neck. I love that touch. He's choking and it's making him come, and Snape's loving every second of it. You can tell he's carefully controlling the degree of asphyxiation right down to the last red bead.

And oh, Snape's face! Gloating, enthralled, but with that slight sense of distance that means he's totally in charge. It's about power, about exploiting the vulnerable, and about how close to the edge he can maneuver Harry. I love his satisfied, calculating smile and his erotic confidence. He's so sure of himself. And I love the drape of hair across his cheek. The skullcap looks good on him, and his mastery of the situation makes him really physically compelling. Harry's the one in ecstatic torment, the one debauched and sexualized and forced to desecrate the altar, but Snape is the erotic puppet master, and he radiates an unholy self-control.

Other things I love: the softness, almost haziness of the scene, bestowing a sanctified atmosphere, the muscular indentation of Snape's haunch, the shine on Harry's glasses, the way his eyes are squeezed shut as he gasps for breath, the splashes of wax from the tipped-over candle. And the gently glowing cross around Snape's neck, the focal point of the picture, emphasizing the delicious wickedness. The whole thing is incandescently lewd and powerful and wrong, but it's also strangely beautiful.

I assume this is Harry's post-confessional penance? Oh, Snape, you sacrilegious, shameless, irresistible sinner. You are so intensely sexy.

(Kat, thank you for creating this wonderful piece. I'm always up for some transgressive Snarry art, and this is the best I've seen in ages. So much much love to you, too. <3 You are so ravishingly talented, and you share your gifts so freely. I'm delighted to share a fandom with you.)
