The things we do ...

[snaples]

My boyfriend would like me to draw him something. Highly detailed, something that might take me a month to complete. I requested he ask for something Harry Potter-ish because ... you know. So he just leered at me. And I felt this impending doom crawl down my spine as some unspeakable evil began to form on his lips:

"Snape and Hermione."

My boyfriend is a SS/HG shipper at heart. And I feel both grief and a slight hope that at least he is not turned off by HP fandom. I know this his idea of punishing me for subjecting him to art after art and fic after fic of gay HP pr0n.

Still, love must conquer all, and if I must thrust my digital pen onto the tablet and draw some god-awful SS/HG for him, I will do so.

(On a more serious note (hah!), I am not turned off by the idea. I don't mind Snape/Anyone as long as it's believable, and I have a few ideas already brewing. WIP will be posted here to get some valuable criticism, because I really want to do this for him. I doubt, however, that it will be R or higher-rated.)

Snape/Hermione is like a teething ring of slash. Over 483758345 slashers came to the fandom after first reading SS/HG.

And vice versa. When I came into this fandom (via slash, of course), I decided that Snape/Hermione was my het pairing of choice...and damned if half the authors I sent feedback to didn't turn out to have been slashers (from other fandoms) writing het under cloak of darkness with brand new pseuds. *g*
