The last time I was rendered speechless by a fic was when I read Telanu's first Tea story. And Sushi's Last Dance. (Kinda discovered both one after the other)
You absolutely HAVE to read
debchan's What He Wants. Beautiful. Exquisite. Heartbreaking.
But god, is the pain sweet!
P.S. I suggest that the Snarry fans who read the fic prepare tissues. Lots of them. Also a blanket for the cold creepy chills. AUGH!
I've tried, god help me, to write Snarry. Given that I actually write for a living in RL and that I'm all drained of creative energy once the work day is done, I've decided to not even try until I'm on a vacation and I've got my brain together.
But I'm going to list them down, if only to sort my thoughts.
1. There's this Luna ficlet that I've been wracking my brains over. It's Snarry through her eyes, though with a twist. (No, not any kind of pervy twist....just pure Luna loonyness) I'm at the climax and I just can't find the bloody fucking words for it. Argh.
2. Then there's the Murasaki sillyfic I want to do...the trouble is, I'm trying to put my mindset back on SnapeHet...and it's just the kids being kids anyway. (Yes, it is HET, not Snarry. But good het)
3. Crazy-ass plotbunny that struck me out of nowhere because of that insane Harry-turns-into-a-girl fic. I actually want to try doing Harry Potter 1/2. Dump Harry in the Jusenkyo springs and turn him into a girl...half the time. Badfic shamelessness galore. Stop me. Please. I'm begging you.
4. The Snarry version of the Princess Bride. Again, a sillyfic. Yes, my sense of humor is demented. But I don't mind you guys rubbing it in. ;p
5. And now, currently, the Newest Fic From Hell. I meant to try and write a decent Vampire!Severus. I am not kidding. I'm used to writing in this genre...vampires, that is, and I have my own working universe for it. It was supposed to go Snarry but now, it's The Backstory That Won't Die. Featuring, lord help us all, my own OFC.
It's a classic vampire/mystery set up. The Hogwarts students are falling ill...exhibiting classic vampire attack signs. Mostly, these are the older students who are allowed to go out to Hogsmeade. Severus Snape, who's been teaching at Hogwarts for about three years now, investigates the mystery. The trouble is, the vampires they're up against aren't any kind of vampire in the textbook. So Dumbledore brings in (*insert Darth Vader theme here*) the Vampire Hunter Isabel O'Connor, who, in Snape's own words, looks pretty much like a "first year Gryffindor."
Except that she's not Buffy. Not by a long shot.
The way I'm going, it's going to end up a buddy movie - snarking and all. Zero UST though...unless we're talking bad jokes on Isabel's part (she can't resist metaphorically tweaking Snape's beak of a nose).
Eventually we get Vampire!Snape out of this. (No, he's not going to turn into a vampire in the usual way....)
And maybe, if I'm lucky, eventual Snarriness in a future story.
*facepalms* This is fanfiction writing hell, I just know it...
