Fanfiction Friday #8

Well, '7' Week is over. Not that anything changed, but it's so awesome I've been doing nothing but Snape-related things for over 7 weeks straight!

Anyway, I decided to venture out of the norm and look for a fic besides Snape/Lily and Snape/Hermione. I decided not to try and read any slash, because it's just hard to see Snape with a guy. It's just wrong. What I did find, though, was a fic called The Real Me, which is Snape/Trelawney.

Siriusly, you won't believe how many of those there are. On fanfiction.net, there were only about 38, but I know there's more on other websites and I honestly expected there to only be a few. And of the 38 that came up in the search, I was even more surprised to find that most of them were long, and actually pretty literate. I think the main appel for this ship is that Emma Thompson is in so many other movies with Alan Rickman as his love interest/wife that people wanted them to be together in HP as well.

Anyway, it's 20 chapters and completed, and was created for the 'Potter Place Anything Goes Challenge.' In it, Sybill Trelawney comes out of hiding, and returns to her supposed previous appearance and personality. If you're already confused, you'll have to read it to understand. She finds out Snape's still alive, partly because of Fawkes. Now, when I read that Fawkes saved him, I got really excited because I was just thinking about that a few days ago! Fawkes couldn't have died with Dumbledore... and when Harry was in the Chamber of Secrets, Fawkes swooped in and saved him and stuff. Why couldn't he have swooped in and saved Severus?

This story has a unique and awesome plot, and even though it's an unlikely pairing, it actually starts to makes sense. Trust me, you'll want to read it.
