severus fest reveals

[pauraque_bk]

The masterlist for severus_snape's annual fest is up! I wrote this ficlet:

By Now Should Be Antique (G, Filch & Snape) [AO3]
Argus doesn't know where Snape comes from anymore.

It's just a little thing, but I was pleased to be able to contribute. ♥

Oh, god, this is lovely. Cross-posting my comment from there:

Oh, what a treat this is - so much richness in so few words! I loved that over-perfectness of one who's worked hard to get rid of an accent, giving the unsettling impression of someone who doesn't come from anywhere at all. - Oh God, I know exactly that sound, even though I've never tried to articulate it before.

And he's merely part of the castle, a thing that's always been here. Like a dusty floorboard, or a bannister worn smooth by many thousands of palms. I'm sort of reminded of those times, as a younger woman, that I tried to make myself less - smaller, quieter, don't get in the way. Less entitled to be here.

Awesome work!
