#arurora x severus

The PROSE!!!! I went into this with absolutely no expectations and have been blown away the depth given to Aurora. The character background that I didn’t know I needed but now I can’t live without. A thousand thank you’s for this recommendation!

@hprecfest Day 9: a rare pair fic

Slice of Night, by SquibNation10

One of my favorite fics from this year's rare pair fest. Aurora Sinistra/Severus Snape is not a ship that would have occurred to me, but it's absolutely gorgeous. I love how Aurora is fleshed out from a character who is barely seen in canon to a three-dimensional person. It's interesting to think about what it would be like to work the night shift at Hogwarts, teaching on a very different schedule from her colleagues. Her relationship with Snape is compelling, but also complicated and bittersweet, because this is a canon compliant fic that includes HBP and DH.
