raisin_gal: I mean, with Sirius long gone and now Severus dead, Snape/Black fodder is so thin on the ground to begin with... I'd clutch at any straw, at this point, but your idea just sounds so fantastic.

aras_fixation: Unfortunately it is. Lots slashers either tend taking the easy route, sticking to short PWPs with hate sex. Or to their but-they-hate-each-other thesis and then turning toward more easy pairings.

ETA: Writing Snape/Black is a challenge. It often requires from the writer to like both characters in equal way, see all their strengh and weaknesses all at once, while keeping this all in ballance. Not an easy task, since most of the writers are, on a personal level, deeply emotionaly involved either with Severus *or* Sirius to keep themselves in check during their writing.

shyfoxling: ( Apparently can pontificate. )


( additional, which I didn't want to ETA when I'd already gone on quite long enough in a hijacked thread )

Severus' back again by ArcanePrayer

That is, his back. You know, where he keeps his spine. And apparently a lot of skin.

I want to be able to draw like this. Though it really could be anyone, as the hair entirely obscures the face, and it's just a little sketch (the back, the arm, the head and hair, and what appear to be bedsheets)... DAMN. Evokes lust just as effectively, if not moreso, as any good smut, and I'm including the likes of ericahpfa and fanlay in that statement.

Excuse me? by play-it-snufkin

"Excuse me," said Snape icily. "But I believe I am the Potions master at this school." (Chamber of Secrets)

Something about the hand-on-hip pose in this one just cracks me up.

Young Snape collecting by LilyKoneko

Gets that twitchy, suspicious manner down pretty well. I like the crosshatching on his coat/cloak.

Reznor Snape by deaddisko

Just a cute "twins" doodle. Any connoisseur of Snape icons knows that Trent often gets roped into service as a young one. He's got a dressing room right next to Adrien Brody and Tobias Hayek, I tellya. (I had a fanart of him once which had the caption "Nine Inch Nose". *snerk*)

And on the more serious side, sneaky Snape. I like the profile, the narrow eye, and the raised eyebrow.

The young Severus Snape by MisterVertigo

Why he's wearing a pendant that's either a pentagram or the HIM logo I dunno, but I like the strands of hair in the face and for some reason I always get a kick out of Severus smoking. (as opposed to a smoking Severus, which is something else entirely. See also: perselus. ;) )

Young Death Eater by Useless-girl

Apparently Death Eatering affords one a lot of time to practice billowing.

Severus Snape by Alooockhard

I'm not quite sure about the shape of the nose, but this has a very peaceful feel to it, and I quite like the eyes, mouth, and hair.

Lucius bereaved himself for losing control to a boy

...I lol'd.
