Peter Pettigrew/Severus: 

Severus hardly ever felt welcome by anyone since he lost Lily, so when Lucius extended the hand of friendship he took it without regret. Hogwarts was a lonely place when you didn’t fit in and after all, he was sorted into Slytherin for a reason right? He paid little attention to all the politics and mind games that Lucius was doing lately after school and focused on his Potions, the one thing he was quite passionate about. This was how Peter found him tolling away over a cauldron attempting to brew some of the more complex potions that weren’t taught within the curriculum of course during this important time he’d be disrupted. “Speak Pettigrew. I’d rather not waste breath on you during such an important moment in this brewing time”

“I don’t care what [Barty] says, Dumbledore’s not stupid”: On Barty as Machiavel

i think we're all forgetting the moment where harry explicitly draws a parallel between barty & remus and i wrote the world’s longest post about it 

under a close reading, moody!barty operates in a manner that is SO distinct from canon!moody, and i think it’s made especially apparent in the way he interacts with students & the virtues he emphasizes in his lessons. even when disguised, barty has a machiavellian tendency that comes through consistently in several different moments. 

i think this quote is a weaker example, but “very tactful” is NOT something that would be used to describe canon!moody under any circumstances. c!moody’s lack of social tact is a known characteristic, and barty uses his tactless reputation to get away with his machinations (see: the dustbin excuse, breaking into snape’s office, even the ferret to an extent).

on the other hand, BARTY is clever and subtle and manipulative, and we see this coming through in how he handles neville. the biggest difference between him and c!moody is the way that barty!moody tends to openly value or praise Cleverness & Craftiness above more moody-ish virtues like bravery, loyalty, or Taking Care of His Students’ Safety… but i think the most interesting part of all this is the way that harry reacts to it.

the hp books notoriously do this clumsy thing where the morality is starkly Black/White (as ursula leguin rightfully criticized). but seemingly arbitrary categories like “gryffindor” or “slytherin” are also conflated with this strict Good/Evil dichotomy. which results in these random-ass traits like “brave 😎🦁” and “cunning 💀🐍” also taking on moral associations within the world of the text (jkr has also done this with physical traits & racial stereotypes, which is vile) 

but an overarching theme in hp is harry grappling with this dumbass in-world black/white morality & unlearning part of it (ex: snape, the epilogue w albus severus about slytherin). but i think it’s sooo interesting that one of the few characters (aside from snape & dumbledore) to demonstrate & valorize a machiavellian tendency AND be admired for it (by harry) is LITERALLY barty jr. 

like! barty’s tact is not a good thing in-canon! he uses his tact to get away with murder & torture & elaborate terrorist plots (he’s part of a group of death eaters described as having "managed to talk their way out of azkaban” p. 527) but i looove that the same trait which allows him to do all sorts of Dastardly Evil is cast as positive and remus-like in this moment. obviously i don’t think jkr was doing of this on purpose, but i love how these little things are unintentionally more compelling than whatever the hell she was trying to do with snape. and it goes deeper!!

this moment is especially telling of barty’s character, to me. subbing out the names, “I don’t care what [Barty] says… Dumbledore’s not stupid” is a CRAZY line. 

it’s lowkey THE barty!moody thesis in comparison to c!moody: nothing we’ve seen from c!moody would even remotely suggest that he’d EVER imply that dumbledore is stupid. (c!moody adopts the “it’s imperative that we blindly trust dd’s mysterious plans” attitude that most of the adults in harry’s life take, that hermione re-emphasizes here). but barty’s attitude is something that harry heavily fucks with in this moment!! 

that’s all i really have to say about The Implications or whatever. but i want to call more attention to moments in canon where barty’s tendencies shine through his disguise because (unlike most marauders characters) his personality is really fleshed-out. especially this aspect of it. my silly 

i. "mind works the right way, granger"

barty speaking about dumbledore like he’s stupid (💀) is enjoyable for several reasons up to & including how big-dicked it is of him, but most importantly i think it’s symptomatic of an overarching theme of his character. in GOF, barty has a tendency to take stock of the people around him, according to what appears to be a really concrete & consistent set of internal values: he values cleverness matched with a certain degree of ruthlessness. 

this bit with hermione is fun. there are about ~6-7 other instances where he praises cleverness, but that’s not really a unique or noteworthy thing to value? but the phrasing in this quote is my favorite. i know that it’s in reference to the skillset required of an auror, but the phrasing of “mind works the right way” can be applied to so much of barty’s character if you reach hard. i love that barty’s language almost casts the mind as something rote & mechanical which can function right or wrong. 

but anyway it only becomes interesting when placed in context of THIS earlier interaction: 

there are endless ways barty could have gone about guiding harry to use his firebolt here, so his specific phrasing holds a lot of weight to me. (keep in mind: he’s prompting harry to feel that he came up with the firebolt/accio idea, but this whole plan was concocted by barty himself much earlier. he’s on the “convince harry to do my broomstick dragon thing” step of his overarching scheme) 

in a sense, by “inspiring” harry to do what HE already independently decided was best, he’s sort of… giving away his own reasoning, a little? the italicized emphasis on enabling oneself to “get what you need” feels… unnecessary, in context? i love that THAT is where emphasis slips into his voice because it betrays his values. 

barty’s Revenge Scheme is insanely fucking convoluted, but at every stage i think that logic is there. in his villain monologue where he rehashes the deranged level of micro-managing he was doing to get harry to resurrect voldemort, at every individual step he was following his own advice. to barty, sometimes murder is just the Simplest Spell to Get What He Needs. 

according his own advice, barty sees the clearest path between two points, and generally has 0 ethical qualms about closing that distance by the Simplest means possible. he later confirms this by describing harry’s morality introducing complications as “contend[ing] with [his] stupidity” (676) 

ii. “good boy,” growled [barty]. “i can make good use of this…”

the scene where barty acquires the marauders map is CRAZYY.. for a moment, barty is so excited & taken aback that we see a few of his genuine reactions. i love that absolutely nothing manages to faze him EXCEPT genuine delighted shock over an interesting new tool he can implement in his schemes. (sidenote: he probably recognized the marauders’ nicknames, which is so funny)

that fact that we have a canonical barty crouch jr “good boy” makes me claw at the walls. anyway. i feel that i don’t need to explain how “i can make good use of this… this might be exactly what i’ve been looking for” supports characterization of barty as a scheming little machiavel because it’s pretty much explicitly stated right there. 

but this quote stands out for his genuine preoccupation with it. from the instant that barty sees the map, his eyes don’t leave it— his eye “whizzed over [it’s] surface” (491), he questions harry about how his name appeared when he searched snape’s office (”’Crouch,’ he said. ‘You’re— you’re sure, Potter?’” (491))— all while harry is sinking into a trick staircase & getting concerned that moody is ignoring him.

“penetrating glare” ← top barty rights! 

the image of him getting new information, questioning harry about it tactfully, and then spending A FULL MINUTE silently integrating it, is one of my favorite instances of him in the book… it’s like you can hear the gears in his head whirring. i like that we can see this type of assessment that he does extends to other people, when he turns it on harry and “size[s] him up”. 

AND ALL OF THIS IS WITHOUT EVEN GETTING INTO WHAT HIS LESSONS WERE LIKE

this post is long enough as it is! but all that’s left to say is that barty will always be at his most interesting when you pay attention to canon… there’s another longpost that could be written about barty!moody’s differences in disposition. the jokes he cracks, his relative lightness, and the sheer number of times he was openly like “FUCK the law i do what i want” (while literally masquerading as a literal wizard cop) are so intriguing. but that’s for another time

intro post/shameless self promo

is it me or have there been a bunch of new Snape blogs lately?

I’ve certainly had a lot of interaction from blogs I haven’t seen before thanks to my gifsets, so hello new friends 👋🏻

I wanted to do a quick promo post as it’s a little harder to get new readers when I’m not posting new chapters anymore

so! if you haven’t yet come across my lil (not so lil, it’s pretty long) pet project, may I interest you in my fic, Soul of Ice?

specs:

completed (but I am still writing one shots a plenty, so there’s still new content!)

46 chapters

317k words

available on Ao3 or WattPad

here’s what you should know:

Dad Snape. It is so Dad Snape. I’m not trying to say I inspired a new wave of Dad Snape in the fandom, but part of the reason I started writing it was the lack of Dad Snape, and now there’s plenty of Dad Snape, so take of that what you will 😌

The main love story is not romantic, but platonic - it’s the father/daughter relationship that’s the love story here

That said, the romance is a key part of the story!

Snape’s love interest is not a student or a professor. She is one year older than him and their relationship developed while he was a Death Eater. (She is not a Death Eater though!) I find this is a fairly rare dynamic to find with Snape ships so hopefully it’s of interest for people looking for something a little different!

There is frequent spicy smut 🌶️

The daughter character is gay and her sexuality is a key part of the storyline

There are also two canon characters I wrote to be gay

🚨 BEGIN SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Snape lives and has a happy ending 🚨 END SPOILER ALERT 🚨

And don’t just take my word for it…

“I did not think it would be here for the daddy/daughter mutual longing, but I am HERE FOR IT.” - @missmeasured

“I adore the relationship between Snape and Abbie and I love the interactions between them 😭💕” - @waddyaknow

“I'm a very picky reader because I easily stop reading when writers make Snape too much out of character, like him being too affectionate or showing too much emotions in public especially in front of his students or colleagues. But I have to say, this is so far one my favorite stories to read about Snape having a daughter and a partner.” - a_pink_sheep on Ao3

“I love love LOVE Abbey and Sev's banter. I've been reading this whenever I can since yesterday. I can't put it down!” - Ninafia on Ao3

“I love the way you write the Malfoys. I love your Lucius so so SO much. I love the way you write them all as much as I love *them*.” - @sevsnapes (aka queen of Snucius so this is incredible praise tbh)

“I loved your Snape, he is wholly in character while loving both Sephy and Abbie. Abbie feels like a young Severus Snape who got love of his parents and overall happier for it. Persephone has similarities with Snape and they complement each other. You really write well and I liked your OCs and their relationship with Snape.” - Naaga on Ao3

If I have your interest, head to my pinned post for reading links for both Ao3 and WattPad! 💚🦇🐍

˙    🐍     This thread takes place in 1976, on that year's Yulle Ball during an interaction between Severus and @fauvehoof.

    “Why so blue, buttercup?” Was there something in the punch? The wizard punch? Why was Severus so… So happy? It  couldn’t be that socialising was actually good for him, as the studies suggested… No, that was impossible! Living a dark dungeon surrounded by blood purists wasn’t bad for his mental health, because Dumbledore wouldn’t allow it if it was! 

    With a beaming, unnatural smile, he got closer to Evans, looking over at whatever it was she was observing with such disdain. “I can’t imagine what could displease you when you’re looking so dashing, dearest.” Since the summer, Snape had little flickers of boldness and long strides of silence, having a hard time integrating the kiss into their friendship while at Hogwarts. But, with so much commotion around the Great Hall, he doubted anyone could notice his affections towards the witch, so he allowed himself to place his chin over her shoulder, looking at her like there was nothing wrong with the world. 

    “I’d love to help you explode her with our minds, if only you could explain to me why we’re doing that.”

[justafairytailofinnocence]

Alright hehe me again sorry 😅 but could you also do headcanons for being snape and lucius sugar baby? Hopefully that’s alright and thank you 🤍

Hello dear thanks for the request 💖.

If you were a sugar baby to snape and lucius🐍🦇

Severus snape

He was heartbroken since the love of his life had passed away.

He didn't interact with anyone, he didn't want to.

However the pain of his love life was so great that he needed a distraction.

He would pay you nearby the alley way of knockturn ally and have you spend time with him.

He wouldn't make you do anything bad and always give you options.

He has not had anyone touch him in so long he would start to pay you to just hold his hand or hug him if he needed it.

Eventually he would invite you to his house and start to interest you in dinners and romantic events.

No one In hogwarts knew of this scandle and snape preffered it that way.

Snape would use his income from hogwarts and spent it on you, he was infatuated by you.

He would brew you special potions and give you all sorts of gifts.

One day while you went over to his house you found him in a heap.

You wondered if perhaps you were starting to have feelings for this man.

He found the courage to eventually ask you if you wanted to be in a relationship.

You agreed and snape would be more open to you in public.

He stopped paying you and eventually fell in love with you.

Lucius malfoy

The man is extremely rich and yet really bored, he wanted something fun to do.

He found your service through knockturn alley.

He would buy you gifts and give you the most expensive slytherin like clothes.

You would look like a rich person yourself.

He would bring you to his manor and have dinner with you.

Becareful don't take him lightly as he can be selfish and arrogant at times.

You would need to be on your high ground with him as he expects high standards.

You would need to wear make-up and dress accordingly to his liking.

He would banish you from speaking or talking to draco or his wife.

Instead of love there would be possession.

Your his toy in a way and he won't let you go easily.

He would pay you highly to even touch him would be with only his permission.

He can be controlling at times.

He may have some affections towards you.

Anyways that's all I have for now:

Ta Ta ✨️

Headcanon requests: open

    “I’d love to help you explode her with our minds, if only you could explain to me why we’re doing that.”

Lily grinned, looking down at the floor while resting her head against the side of Severus’. She swayed slightly- there was definitely something in the punch, and Lily really only ever drank, lightly at that, during Slug Clubs. So she was already feeling out of her depth... in more ways than one. It seemed that this year’s theme for Lily was being confused by people. Since summer, Lily had been worried that she’d scared off Severus. He seemed to want something more of her, and then would ignore her for weeks. Then there was James- who just wouldn’t leave her alone. Lily didn’t know what had changed about her, what she was doing differently, but it seemed like so much of the attention she received these days was either confusing or unwelcome.

To Lily, it had started to feel like Severus loved her in the summer, but while at school, it was almost like he was afraid of her, or to be seen with her. And why? She wasn’t that bad looking, she was a prefect and did well- all things that she knew he valued- so what had she done?

Dearest. But was she really? Part of Lily was thrilled by the idea, part of her dreaded it being true. Lily reached around to Severus’ sides and took his wrists in her hands, bringing his arms around her, curious if he’d let her. If he wouldn’t mind being seen with her. She hadn’t been that bold since the night of that stupid carnival- maybe it was the punch, maybe Lily just couldn’t understand why as their relationship became longer it felt less stable.

“Then do your worst.” Lily mumbled, gesturing to herself.
