Ode to fan portrayals of Severus Snape, with links.

[valis2]

I love Severus Snape.

I love his snarky, twisted, peevish, nasty little sonofabitch heart. I love his dark, sarcastic, snarling, growling, did-he-or-didn't-he, black-eyed soul.

And I love that so many other people love him too.



I love karasu_hime's ethereal, delicate, long-haired, luminous and beautiful Severus (warning: Slash). Karasu's site

I love undunoops's mature, knowing Severus (slash pic, nothing graphic). Undun's site

I love pen_and_umbra's adorable rar-teeth Severus.

I love snapesforte's haunting, dark portraits of Severus. She captures a sneering, bitter Snape so perfectly, lets us glimpse his petty, spiteful nature, and his complicated, conflicted soul. She sees his canon faults so clearly, and embraces him fully. Her Deviantart profile Her site

I love kellyl's sly, schoolboy Severus, so sure of himself, plotting away. Her site

I love nebulaean's subtle portrait of Severus, young, doubtful, thinking of his fresh Dark Mark. Site
