Snapedom

My gift from less_for_you a wonderful piece of art where Lily teaches Snape how to fly.

Here are some stories that write about that idea of Lily teaching Severus how to fly.

Another Snily Honour Among Death Eaters by NeonPotter, which is one of my favorite SS/LE fics. I had feared that the author had abandoned it, but I’m so glad I was wrong. I also love her characterization of Regulus in this story, and there is plenty of him in it.

April Challenge: Squib Snape

This month's challenge comes from geri_chan :

1) Squib Snape--there seem to be a lot of fanfics where Snape loses his magic post-war, either permanently or temporarily. How does he react? Is it traumatizing to lose his magic, or does he find it easy to leave the wizarding world behind and slip into an anonymous Muggle life?

Have fun with it.

In response to 00sevvie's response to my Severus and Voldemort post.
00sevvie is a brilliant name, by the way. I am all admiration.

I hope I've answered some of your questions. Again - its really too long for comments. And again, I ramble on and on and on... I love to talk about Snape.

( cut for 2500 words of rambles )
He is the perfect adjutant - capable, with nothing to lose and nothing to gain. To want - anything - is to be cheated, to lose. From Voldemort's point of view, love can turn to hate, belief can turn to a feeling of betrayal. Severus is useful. Usefulness does not fail. Usefulness is what he gains from Dumbledore, why he serves him as well, and there are the years of use teaching and perhaps spying on his young charges during the time in which Voldemort was vanquished. Usefulness is what he gains from Voldemort. That is why he is valued by Voldemort, because it is pure and it is hunger, even terror that he will fall into nothingness.

What joy, you ask? Memory. And the things he always loved. Spells, potions, Slytherin House, learning, understanding from wizards. The hope for a fleeting, momentary look or hand of approval, praise, trust. A striving for redemption through service, penance through work.
