Severus and Harry, I'm not debating this.
Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem
Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao
Snape: You're an insufferable child.
Harry: but you love me!
Snape: You're still insufferable.
"Live your best life!! No regrets, every day to the fullest!!! 💕💕" Okay Jessica, I'll do that when my parents stop throwing chairs at each other!
We’ve all done it.
There shouldn't be THIS many rules for fanfiction. "Only read & write on AO3, must be in character and canon compliant if it's not an Au, Perfect grammar, etc" It takes that fun out of it, man.
Idc what you write. It could be the most jaw dropping, pearl clutching, disgusting, dehumanizing, most out of character, criminal stuff. As long as you put a disclaimer that "Hey! This has some unhealthy dynamics, should NEVER happen irl!" It's okay! (I mean, I won't read it personally, but that's fine!)
Upload it wherever. Put it on Wattpad, or AO3, and ff.net, doesn't matter! Read wherever you want. Yeah, I want an algorithm because it's a hobby, so I read on Wattpad a lot, but sometimes I'll also read on ff.net.
It can be out of character, too. It could be the worst interpretation out there, and I wouldn't care. I wouldn't read it, but it's fine. Make one of them a hunk and the other helpless. It's not my cup of tea, but it's fine if it's yours!
Add those weird triggers you want, put in the rare pair, make it out of character, upload it everywhere, IDC. As long as there's a disclaimer for harmful content, it doesn't affect anything!
In summary: Stop adding rules to fanfic and then telling people to write what they want. Do whatever you want as long as there's a disclaimer for harmful content. It's literally a hobby, keep being fun with it.
Severitus where Harry is deeply hurt/affected by Severus' strict/old-fashioned/etc parenting styles.
Severus is always portrayed as strict, sometimes bordering on straight up abusive, but then because he's better than the Dursleys, readers and authors alike tend to agree that it's okay. (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE, THAT'S FINE SO LONG AS THERE'S A DISCLAIMER.)
But arguably, most often, his tactics are rather harsh. Maybe he's firm on the whole open door policies, or washing mouths out with soap, I've seen a lot with spanking as well, but there's never any after effect, so make there be one.
Oh, he washed his mouth out with soap? Now he's scared to talk.
Spanked? He doesn't see the difference, frankly I don't either, though, so I don't have much to offer here.
No door policy? He feels watched.
Whatever you decide, there should be a point of realization that this is harmful. However that decided though differs.
Make Harry write an essay about Scary Things, and instead of writing about something normal, he writes about how he's terrified of messing up.
Maybe Severus discovers a diary.
Or, and something that I find worked with their personalities, is a massive fight. Harry messed up, and now Severus is threatening whatever, and Harry loses it. "I want to go back to the Dursleys, because at least I know they're cruel, with you it's a mix up."
It's so angsty, om nom nom nom.
Snape literally sexually assaulted him, and it even classified as sexual torture, look up the definition for that one. Bullied him, and literally for no reason, which is stated.
He even basically tried to murder him, he could've easily killed him with the prank.
But sure, James is no abuser at ALL! He's the most innocent guy out there, perfect.
Every time someone calls james Potter an 'abuser' to Snape I lose more faith in humanity
Whenever whumpee is freaking out because of something, the only way to calm them down is by saying they're a good pet and patting their head.
Caretaker desperately trying to tell them that they're not a pet, that they don't need to be good, but Whumpee just isn't having it.
Definitely had a breakdown about how they think they're a bad pet, they're clawing, sobbing, on their knees, begging to be told they're a good pet, maybe even lifting caretakers hand to pet their own head, trying to convince them that they're a good pet.
Ties their hoodies super tight because they need the feeling of a collar, even though they have scars from their last one, they need it because they don't know what else to do.
Whenever they mess up, they bash their head against their fist, or scratch at their skin till blood draws, etc.
Whumpee running into Whimper and is told they're a bad pet, and Whumpee spirals.
Caretaker snapping at them one time, and saying they're a bad pet, even though they're desperately trying to break that mentality, and Whumpee just goes silent, stone cold. They drop to their knees, begging for forgiveness, maybe they're even rolling around, gripping, pulling their hair.
🚨THE ONES FOLLOWING THIS MAY BE TRIGGERING TO SOME PEOPLE, THE PROMPTS BELOW HINT AT SA, STARVATION TACTICS, AND INCLUDE DISORDERED BODY IMAGES!!!🚨
Whumpee gaining weight or something about them is off, maybe they have a pimple or their nails aren't clean, something minuscule, but they rush out of the room, dropping to their knees and sobbing, begging for forgiveness, saying they'll fix it, and caretaker is just confused.
Whumpee scarfing down whatever food they get because they're worried about being a bad pet and not getting food.
Caretaker (romantic) thought Whumpee was better, or pretty much better, so they take it a step further, making out, stuff like that, and Whumpee hates every second, but they're terrified of saying no, but halfway through they just start sobbing, apologizing and begging caretaker to stop, who does, immediately.
Backtracking off of the last one, maybe Whumpee has some serious scarring in those areas because of Whumper, so when they get to that point, Whumpee has to warn Caretaker, but when they see it all, they just kinda cry and hold onto Whumpee.
Whumpee spending hours in front of the mirror, searching for pimples, weight gain, body hair, literally any imperfections and getting rid of it because they need to be the perfect pet.
Whumpee is having a hard day and is currently sobbing or something, so caretaker is carrying them to bed, or maybe they just grab their shoulder, but Whumpee freaks out, hysterical, rolling on the floor, begging not to make Whumpee do that stuff again.
Caretaker having a bit of a rough day, so Whumpee thinks it's their job to make them feel better, so they take off their clothes, silently crying, and caretaker has never been more confused in their life.
Harry: I'm so hungry, I could eat Charity Burbage.
Snape: *visibly distressed* You could eat what?
When they find out, everyone else is confused, Thor and Loki are completely normal. Thor simply asks if he called Peter something else today, but Peter says no, and he's just like 'alr, cool.' Loki is trying to give him tips on shape shifting, thinking that maybe he just ran into a hit of a mistake, and when he learns that it wasn't shape shifting, he gags and dramatically fawns over him 'Oh you poor thing!' And then does an illusion or something.
There's definitely a confused yet supportive Steve and Bucky, just shouting 'IT'S HE NOT SHE! HE'S TRANSLUCENT' To everyone who misgenders him.
When everyone finds out, Tony is laughing in the corner because he was the only one who knew, and now he gets to watch this drama unfold. Natasha is so dumbfounded as to how she didn't find out, and Clint gives him a dad speech.
Sam completely ignores it, but asks him casually if he's supposed to call him something else, and then also corrects everyone who gets his pronouns wrong.
Bruce to immediately starts working on a testosterone that wouldn't burn through his metabolism, since it's artificial.
The first time someone calls him a slur around the team, Peter is used to it, but the Avengers aren't, so Steve and Bucky are shouting, Sam having to hold them both back, while also correcting them. Natasha and Loki are in the corner planning murder, Tony is angrily shouting at him, already calling his lawyers and threatening to sue or something, Thor is spinning his Hammer, Bruce is turning green and doing yoga in the corner, Clint is pulling a dad and angrily shouting at him while tapping his foot disapprovingly while Peter is just like 'Wtf'
Idk what I'm doing. MCU, Harry Potter, wtv else I want? 1# most basic man to have ever existed.
