Bit of a shame I left hp before I entered svsss because one of my favourite tropes at the time was 'dumbledore calls in External Support from different fandom during ootp and they show up to grimmauld to help (and utterly upstage everyone in the process)'.
And needless to say Sqq, at any point, would have been perfect.
Like. He's a teacher too. A scholar. Secretly from the modern world so he'd have no trouble with its intricate and mysterious workings, incidentally making himself look very cool and competent in the process. He'd have So Many Opinions. He'd incite bloody war with umbridge. He'd project his feelings for sj onto Snape with a side of commiseration for his role and fate. He'd mostly pretend to know so much less about hp than he actually does (which, hilariously, he canonically name drops in svsss, AND his system is pretty heavily implied to have previously worked in, like wow). He'd be constantly comparing Harry with lbh. He'd have a running internal dialogue bemoaning the world building, the characters, Harry's fate, the general decision making process, maybe some death of the author. Geeking out about magic. Raiding the library whenever he's free.
He might bring his students as part of an exchange, he might bring a fellow peak lord if it was a serious mission (liushen anyone?) he could bring adult lbh. Maybe sqh? Or sqh could be the messenger with the system and/or mbj.
A self aware character who couldn't live with himself if he didn't at least try to change Harry's fate whether or not he actually likes the kid? He could canon that divergence before you could say horcrux. That kind, oblivious, smoking hot exotic teacher who had people ruining their lives for him in a world that was used to people that pretty and also hated him specifically?? The hogwarts students wouldn't stand a CHANCE.
Man the scenes are coming to me so strongly I almost want to write it just as a like. Satire piece or something. Just Sqq ripping everything to shreds, accidentally or not. Diatribes on the author biases. Unintentional themes. Iffy world building choices. Nothing new, but through the lens of svsss' Sqq it'd be something for sure XD.
#Okay imagine. Sqq and umbridge being introduced side by side at the start feast.#And you've got a) condescending ugly old government stooge invader. Short and round. Terrible fashion sense. Trying too hard.#B) the most ethereal person you've ever seen in your life. Flawless glossy classy af. Tall and slender. Immortal from a distant land. Sword#This makes umbridge feel humiliated and inferior (this makes her much more vicious from the start) and Sqq is just ranting internally#About the meta textual correlation of beauty and morality which a) yikes b) he's wondering if anyone in the hp universe has realised#Or used to their advantage (he has a paragraph on riddles beauty he weaponised and then lost)#Kind patient a good teacher he's got a sword and supports the Prank Resistance those poor boarding school kids would WORSHIP#And they'd make it so hard to be oblivious lmao.#Ooooh flying swords vs brooms quidditch?#He'd 100% do a class or session on trans issues just to be petty#I do miss hp and the sheer size and breadth of the fandom on occasion but well. You know how it is#svsss#hp#harry potter#scum villain#crossover#fic ideas#fic prompt#He'd join spew and in a day everyone in school would support it lmao#shen qingqiu
