#Severus Snape#Snapetober 2024#Snapetober#Draco Malfoy#my art#Self-indulgent AU Severus was assigned as Draco's godfather in Harry's third year once Lulu and Cissy discovered the concept of “godparents#It might be a muggle idea but if Harry Potter had a godfather then their darling precious perfect child needed an even better one!
For @superfallingstars Snapetober 2024 prompt: Warmth
The worst thing about living in a castle, and in the dungeons in particular, was how dang cold Lily got! She was a delicate hothouse flower at heart, right? Luckily, Sev was always a good source of warmth.
(Whew, has it really been six months since I've managed to make anything??? I'm going to use Snapetober 2024 to make myself create again, even if it will be messy and sketchy, and participate in fandom again!)

So, for the mirror pattern, I'd been goofing around with attempting marbling with India ink and water, I made an awful mess but I had fun and the swirly pattern looks interesting
#Severus Snape#Sirius Black#Harry Potter#Snirius#Severitus adjacent#self-indulgent AU#Implied one-sided Prongsfoot I suppose#Sirius & Severus are narrative mirrors#But so often Sirius and James are assumed platonic while Severus is assumed to have one-sided romantic feelings for Lily#But fanon is a fun house mirror and mirrors are prone to flipping things around and around yes?#my art
...okay, so I suppose Christmas in 1995 was on a Monday and if the winter break is generally two weeks long and starts on the weekend before Christmas, then maybe the first Occlumency lesson (on a Monday evening) was on the 8th of January and Severus Snape was not yet 36 years old, but, ah, time is wobbly etc.
Has Severus taken the role of "Godmother" faster than Harry has managed to adapt to Sirius' revelation/declaration? Maybe, yes, probably. Does Voldy demand student drama and gossip from Severus? Yes.
Momo's Snapedom AU Ask Game!
I do love how the Snapedom has folks who write extensive meta with citations and how the Snapedom has oodles of people making a delightful diversity of AUs that gnaw on the bones of the canon narrative skeleton to cook up a more satisfying story-soup! So I thought it might be fun to put together a few questions for an ask game (after all, the fun part of fandom is interacting with other fans):
- Do you have a name and/or a tag and/or a master post for your AU (so I can peruse your blog and admire your creativity)?
- What is the premise of your AU (one sentence summary, tropes, your big “What-if” question, etc.!)?
- Can you describe your AU badly? (Because I do love hilariously misleading but not actually inaccurate descriptions of stories)
- What your favorite thing about your AU? (Does it make you cackle with glee or do you break your own heart?)
- What are the major divergence points in your AU?
- Is there any part of the canon narrative you really like to build off of or interrogate with your AU?
- Are there themes or motifs or specific concepts in your AU that you hope people will notice? (Do you want to give hints about your masterful foreshadowing or chat about your extensive world building? Should we all grab a floriography dictionary when flowers are mentioned?)
- What are some key life moments in your AU!Snape’s life that differ from canon!Snape’s life?
- How and why does your AU!Snape differ from the canon!Snape?
- Would your AU!Snape want to trade places with canon!Snape (and vice versa!)? Why?
- Do you know if Severus going to escape the gravitational pull of the canon narrative/fate in your AU?
- Do you think any other characters are going to escape the gravitational pull of their canon narrative/fate in your AU? If so, can any of that extra AU!velocity be attributed to Severus’ actions?
- What era does your AU primarily take place in (is it focused on part of the canon timeline? Is the canon timeline adjusted a few years one way or another? Or are you playing with a futuristic sci-fi AU or a historical AU or something else entirely? Maybe you have a 1998!Snape dealing with life in 1942 or some other combination?)
- What is his childhood and/or family life like in your AU? Is it better than his canon life starting out in Cokeworth?
- Does Lily exist in your AU? Are Severus and Lily friends in your AU?
- Do any of the Marauders exist in your AU? What role do they play in your AU Severus’ life?
- Do the Malfoys exist in your AU? How do they interact with your version of Severus?
- Does Voldemort exist in your AU? Does Severus join his cause at any point in your AU?
- Does Dumbledore exist in your AU? What role does he play in Severus’ life in your AU?
- Does Harry Potter exist in your AU? How does he interact with Severus in your AU?
- Is there another canon character that plays a major role in your AU!Snape’s life? What role do they play and how does it differ from their canon relationship with Snape?
- Is an Original Character a major feature and player in your AU? Who are they? What role do they play AU!Severus’ life? How do they interact with any other canon characters in your story?
- Does Severus have a significant other (or others) in your AU?
- Does Severus have children in your AU?
- Is Severus Snape the Hogwarts Potions Master in your AU? If not, what is he doing instead?
- Does Severus have any major interests (mycology, astronomy, sci-fi, baking elaborate puff pastries, art forgery, etc.) in your AU that we never got to see canon!Snape indulge in? Do these interests play a major narrative role?
- Do you have a snippet of prose (or an art piece or a list of headcanons) from your AU that you particularly enjoy and want to share?
- Free space! Any other questions folks want to ask?
momo-t-daye reblogged
For Unofficial Snapetober 2023 prompts "Hands" and "Spider" (well, it's a bit of a spider web and a bit of cat's cradle and a bit of a marionette but it's all a tangle); this piece by @greens-your-color was very inspiring.
Between this one and the piece for "Corvids", I think am trying to draw somewhat more serious/darker pieces this year!
Ink and paper, digitally inverted in most areas and then tidied up a bit.
Revising Their Stars (8306 words) by Momo_T_Day Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sirius Black & Severus Snape, Sirius Black/Severus Snape, Sirius Black & Peter Pettigrew & James Potter Characters: Sirius Black, Severus Snape, James Potter, Peter Pettigrew Summary: Sirius is horribly terribly dreadfully bored now that dear cousin Narcissa has prohibited him from tormenting Severus Snape (despite every tantalizing opportunity Snape goes out of his way to provide!). Maybe helping Snape prepare for the upcoming Astronomy O.W.L. will be more fun than Sirius could have expected, Snape certainly seems to be learning something interesting during their tour of the stars. Or Sirius Black is not impressed with Severus Snape’s “#genius lifehacks” for a “#frugal life”

This is the longest fic I've written and I probably spent too much time looking up old star charts and moon phases and comet visibility records but I love stargazing so the research stays in!
Follows "A most wretched raccoon" and takes place before "Bad taste in men"
Should I post the text here as well as on Ao3? I find reading easier on Ao3 for myself, but I do know I'm not very tech savvy...
#Severus Snape#Sirius Black#Snirius#snape fic#This took more than a year to write because writing is hard#Writers are amazing and talented!#This is mostly very silly and I had fun with words but it wasn't beta read or britpicked#Severus' POV/internal monologue would've been mostly screaming with the occasional panicked bit of profanity so it's more Sirius POV#Sirius' train of thought is like a turbocharged pinball machine and Severus has no idea what is happening#I had fun with the worldbuilding hints and certain mental images
"Bad Taste in Men (or the Femme Fatale Accidental)"
When Egbert "Omelette" Netterville, third year Chaser, managed to have all the bones in his feet mysteriously turned into jelly two days before the big Gryffindor versus Slytherin match, Lily Evans volunteered to stand in as substitute. If nothing else, she was sure she could keep James Potter off his game, she had a surefire plan to distract him in a pinch (after all, Lily Evans knew how to fly through the air and fall gently).
The dangers of her flavored lip gloss were entirely unforeseen
I mentioned this one in the WIP game back in October/November and finally got around to it just in time for Lily's birthday! I had fun with some different panel layouts this time
This isn't the first time Lily's "dunked on" Mulciber and it probably won't be the last.
The most stressful/baffling person I have ever met was this one frat bro guy who was allergic to pineapple, knew he was allergic to pineapple, and kept eating pineapple every chance he had- I did not understand him but I hope he's still doing okay out there. James just seems like the same sort to me, to go about trying to flirt with danger.
Unfortunately, Lily might feel guilty enough now to agree to a date in Hogsmeade
Reunions #2: Former co-presidents of "The Unofficial Hogwarts Drama Club for Amateur Theatricals" meet again. Sometimes the need to voice judgement derails the impulse to monologue
Reunions #1
#Severus Snape#Remus Lupin#Albus Dumbledore#Gotta post something quick for Sev's birthday!#I'm sure Remus didn't expect a warm welcome or happy reunion with Severus but immediate attacks on his mustache were a surprise#Remus- a tad passive aggressively- thus considered growing muttonchops all year to irritate Sev's aesthetic sensibilities...#(Sluggy's walrus mustache must've left quite an (negative?) impression on wee Sev)#my art#comic
“Hey, Sirius,” said James Potter, “Why has Snape got your scarf?" “The little asshole was whinging about being cold,” Sirius shrugged, unconcerned by the chilly evening air. “I thought he might gag himself but no luck yet.” “Huh,” said James.
“I still think it’s just a marketing ploy,” the little asshole swathed in woolen scarves said thoughtfully. “Everyone knows he doesn’t sell firewhiskey to students and his butterbeer is near rancid, but once you’ve hiked all the way up here to check out the goat it’s almost a waste of time to not buy something.” “A giant goat is quite the statement given his, ah, past legal entanglements,” Narcissa said with the sort of obvious delicacy that teetered dangerously close to turning suggestive. “It really must be seen to be believed and the last few have hardly lasted any time at all.” “It looks so flammable,” Lily Evans gushed, bubbling with malicious anticipation. The best thing about the magical world, Lily maintained, was the sheer number of holiday traditions that eventually included lighting something on fire. Her mother’s nerves had never been up for a proper Bonfire Night and Cokeworth’s Catholics weren’t the type to celebrate it either.
“Hey, Sirius,” said James Potter, “Why has Snape got MY scarf?" “Because Evans said it was cold and you gave her your scarf to be gallant and she then handed your scarf over to him” Sirius replied, without any worries over his best friend’s apparent memory issues. “Right,” said James.
“He’s bound to have put up some anti-arson charms on this one after the fiasco with Dumbledore’s pet phoenix last year and inexplicable triple lightning strikes the year before,” Severus scoffed. “If it’s properly phoenix-proofed— and I doubt the rest of Hogsmeade would allow him to put another goat up that wasn’t properly phoenix-proofed— we’d need a miracle to burn it down without being caught.” “We’ve got the blessings of tradition with us, Sev,” Lily replied. “Can’t you see? The goat must burn again!”
“Hey, Sirius,” said James Potter, “Why has Snape got Remus’ scarf?" “Because I was foolish enough to take my scarf off inside and Snape picked it up and put it and just looked at me when I asked for my scarf back,” Remus interjected, slightly bitter at his ignoble defeat. “Gosh,” said James.
“Twice is hardly sufficient grounds to claim a tradition,” Narcissa opined. “Three is a far more magically significant number.” “So you’re saying it’s up to us to ensure the sacred fires once more hold back the darkness!” Lily said, full of pyromaniacal resolution. “I say it’ll take planning and proper intelligence gathering, neither of which I’m inclined to do while my mouth still tastes like something died in the Hog’s Head butterbeer barrels,” Severus sighed. “Let’s stop at the Three Broomsticks, Potter will buy us all a round of the special seasonal cinnamon spiced butterbeer, and we’ll work on preparations back at school.”
“Hey,” said James Potter. “Why hasn’t Snape got—” “Unlike you all, I know better than to leave my clothes and stuff unattended in Snape’s vicinity,” Peter interrupted, smugly snug and cozy. “Oh,” said James. It really was quite cold.
The Slytherin dorms look out into the Black Lake. Denizens of the Black Lake, thus, can look right in to the Slytherin dorms.
Art to accompany this ficlet I wrote after chatting with @dastardly-lemondrops a few weeks ago; which drew a bit on the scary mermaid post that lives in my brain and the enjoyable mermish sign language headcanon (that I just had to ruin a little bit).
