Notes: I'm not sure if this is the same summer holiday as "High Flying Lover" and "Letting Off Steam." It appears that Severus and Charity temporarily slipped through a warp in the space-time continuum. Inspired by this comment exchange in [info]alisanne's story "Temptation." What a long, strange trip it's been...

Ask Someone Who Cares

Title: Ask Someone Who Cares
Author: [info]bohemianspirit
Genre: Gen, Post-war AU, Coming-of-Age, Humor
Characters: Severus, Draco
Rating: PG-13
Originally posted: 12-30-08

Summary: Severus helps Draco build a new life for himself after the war, and in the process finds his own way towards healing.

Notes: Written for Dollar-chan, for the [info]snapedom Summer Fest 2008. This story was inspired by these pictures of Severus and Draco: On the Run (gen), Childhood (gen), and Study Session (slash, work safe).

Writing Draco sympathetically was a challenge for me. Unlike Severus in this story, I've never been particularly fond of Draco. However, I do think that in the last couple of books he showed (along with his more negative traits) signs of change for the better, glimpses of a potential, eventual maturing in perspective and behavior, so I built on that side of him in developing this story.

I took the idea of Severus fleeing Hogwarts with Draco at the end of HBP, combined with the idea that Severus had been a friend of the Malfoy family since Draco was a child, and came up with Draco accompanying Severus on a post-DH exodus from Britain's wizarding world. The relationship of Severus to Draco in this story is that of a mentor or father figure, but the Severus/Draco picture gave me the idea to write them as gay men; not, however, in relationship to each other.

Gen story about gay characters. Nothing explicit. DH Epilogue cheerfully ignored, of course. ;-) Severus lives!


You Could Use a Good Caretaker

Title: You Could Use a Good Caretaker
Author: [info]bohemianspirit
Genre: Humor, AU, Slash (unrequited), Crackfic
Characters: Severus Snape, Dwayne Schneider
Crossover: Harry Potter/One Day at a Time
Rating: PG
Originally posted: 12-12-07, on my LJ

Summary: Dwayne Schneider thinks Severus Snape is in need of a good caretaker.

Notes: Bit of a time warp going on here, bringing late 1970s Schneider into the late 1990s to meet AU postwar Snape. I haven't seen the show in at least twenty years, so my characterization of Schneider might be a bit off, but if you're reading a story like this in search of literary quality, you're even more far gone than I am.

The Professor and The Professor

Ten drabbles featuring The Professor and Professor Snape!

I wrote these for Writercon100 on LJ, inspired by the fact that Gilligan's Island was on their list of small fandoms to write for. Of course I had to make them crossover fics, because, well, what's fanfic without Severus Snape? ;-) I had fun writing these; have fun reading them!

Not Yet FUBAR

Title: Not Yet FUBAR
Author: [info]bohemianspirit
Genre: Gen, Humor, and a bit of Love
Characters: Severus, Goddess, and an Angel
Rating: PG-13, for language
Originally posted: 11-2-07, for [info]snape_after_dh

Summary: After giving Severus a chance to get settled into his heavenly home, Goddess confers with him about the work She would like him to do in the afterlife.

Warnings: Unconventional and mildly irreverent handling of religious concepts may possibly offend some people. The Deity treating Severus Snape with respect and love may possibly offend others.

Note: Thanks to the moderators of [info]snape_after_dh for extending the deadline for posting, I offer you the following bonus story, not originally planned... unless, perhaps, it was Ordained On High... ;-)
