AVOIDANCE

[tripperfunster]

I'm bored and desperately trying to avoid all manner of boring/non-fun crap that I have to do.

Ask me a question about ANYTHING and I'll do my best to truthfully answer you.

Nothing is off limits.

Did I mention that I'm bored??

:D

When I first found HP fandom (my very first online fandom) I just googled 'Snape sex' because I was bored and horney, and SWEET JESUS ON A ROLLERCOASTER I came across a story by Isis(colo) that was an unbelievably hot Snack. (Oral Sex was the title)

I had always been a closet slasher (big Rocky Horror fan, perved on any and all slashy scenes in movies and tv) but I really had no idea that lots of other women did to. Damn, and I thought I was spayshul!

Anyhoo, after reading and re-reading and RE-READING all of Isis' fics, I found her reccs site and began reading those too. I was pretty much looking for anything featuring Snape. (Isis wrote such a hot, hot, spanking/detention Snarry fic that I still squirm when I think about it!!)
Eventually I came across Dreaming Spires, and shit, I was confused! I'd never read an AU before, and it took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on. But when I did, I really began to appreciate the dynamic between them. Not to mention the UST and the bitter sweet ending that STILL makes me well up when I read it.

After that, of course, I had to plow through the rest of your stuff! If I had to pick a favourite, it would probably be Dumbledore's Folly. I really get off on stories where they are thrown together and the two of them have to overcome their own asshattedness and eventually fall in love.

After reading fic for a while, I decided that I had to write some of my own. And then, inspired by some of the stuff that I'd seen on t'internets, I decided to draw some too!

I'm not really one for great meta, so I have a hard time pinpointing what exactly it is that I like about the two of them. THE SHINY! TEH PRETTY! I love the disparity between them, yet the similarities. The age/height/confidence/experience coupled with the angsty pasts and lack of love. That they are both so un-loveable and yet, manage to find each other and love each other anyway.

The real question is: What do YOU like about the pairing? I'd be interested to know! <3

*hugs* Thanks for answering! There are so many things I love about this pairing! I love that they are both broken in some way by life and by their circumstances and need each other to heal. I love the age difference but it's never squicked me because Snape is emotionally about on Harry's level. I love how hot it can be! So, pretty much the same reasons you like it too! We're hopeless, aren't we?
