More izkt!
for me snirius is strange. canon sirius does not consider snape his equal. he is furious that dumbledore trusts severus
They’re natural enemies with awful tempers, and both were emotionally dependent on their best friends—who ended up marrying each other. They both carry guilt, they’re both deeply dysfunctional adults who never really grew out of adolescence, and every time they’re together, they act like bloody children. They’re two sides of the same coin, and honestly, for anyone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers trope, it makes total sense to ship them. Especially because both characters are complex, contradictory, and have massive personalities—which makes them super fun to explore in a fic. But hey, in the end, it’s all a matter of taste, and everyone vibes with different dynamics.
Personally, what I really love are the fanarts—mostly because they’re hot as hell, and lately, they’re the only place where Sirius is actually characterised properly. Because lately sometimes the image of Sirius in fanarts seems to me cringe as hell.
I love the idea of Snape being the most amazing baker ever because of his potion skills.
He makes Lily a cake nearly every year when they are at Hogwarts because he can’t afford to get her anything else, she doesn’t mind and looks forward to the cake every year. Sometimes if she’s really upset he will make her cupcakes and wish her a ‘happy quarter till your birthday’ to make her laugh
Xenophilius asks Snape help to raise money to save Dragons from being used as training devices. Severus just sighs but shows up to the event with just an obscene amount of fucking cookies. They all sell out, he lied and said Xeno made them because he knew if he said he did people would think they were poisoned, but it wasn’t until the next day that Xeno hears this and corrects someone who complimented his baking skills. Minor freak out, but people ask Severus to bake for them too once in a white for money, especially younger year students who miss their mothers treats.
Snape on multiple occasions have left a wolfsbane potion/Healing potion, and protein based cookies shaped in dog bones near his hospital bed or desk. Remus in retaliation brags about how Snape makes him cookies every month.
As a person who loves the Marauders (+ the Valkyries), the Slytherin Skittles, and Snape, we need more fics with Snapes gang.
I think it would be so cool to explore the differences and similarities in each friend group, and the way they all view each other.
