Come on, you know you want to...
This week I challenge you to subvert a fanon characterization in 1000 words. For all you illiterate folks, that's: 1. To overturn or overthrow from the foundation; 2. To pervert or corrupt by an undermining of morals, allegiance or faith. Either definition is peachy, by me - take Draco and the leather trousers and twist them til he cries!

Very Well.
Earlier, there was a bashful sweetness and a warm smile, as he had come into the room and asked his question.
Severus did not want to do this- he really liked keeping his private life private. But the boy was so insisent, so loud and too damned cocksure.
Which was the problem, so to speak.
Severus Snape loved knowldege for its own sake, loved the power it could to the wizard who knw the subtle and elegant ways to use it. Working with material living and dead, and those that existed in between, was a rush. From his earliest years, Severus had been fascinated by the colrs of liquids, the dancing of lightwaves, smells and fumes from a thousand million different spells and mixtures. As a result, all of his passiona dn physicality had gone into teh study and advancement of magic.
And so, Severus was asexual.
Now, severus could appreciate finely formed limbs and hands, the curves of mouths and breasts, the colors and textures of skin.
But it not move him as it did other men.
This did not mean he was incapable of love- he loved being immersed in magic. He loved Dumbledore, who did not need the physical manifestation of love. Theirs was a meeting a diametrically opposites souls.
But those who demanded his flesh- Malfoy, then Remus and now, Potter- he could not satisfy.
And they could not understand.
Harry shouted at him, told him he was a bastard, after all, and that he would not get any better.
But with every stir of the cauldron, or glimpse of the universe during a trance, Severus knew that was not true.
Re: Very Well.
Yes, I do recognize the irony.
Good job. ~_^
Re: Very Well.
Not only that, but he does so, all the time.
(I have heard people on list say this is how allgay men act. I know quite a few gay men. This is not how they act, at all.)
And the thing with sex for its own sake is that is gets boring, real quick.
So fandom, please- Lets play with Snape's mind, and his love of unravelling a mystery and being a meanie for fun, then his privates.
'Kay?
