Snape is evil and nasty
The idea for this list stems from a discussion with serpentclara who claimed that there are so many fics where Snape gets redeemed but a lot less with canon!Snape or evil!Snape. So I decided to compile a list of stories with the latter.
What I take:
- Snape is evil.
- Snape is on the side of Voldemort.
- Snape is only one his own side, playing Dumbledore and Voldemort against each other, changing sides as others change their underwear.
- Snape is absolutely nasty, worse than in canon and out to get Harry.
- Snape can be both a minor or a major character.
- I will not take stories where Snape is just like in canon, nasty to Harry and ambiguous in his true alliances.
- pre- and post-HBP, both is fine.
- I take no stories where Harry is evil, a Dark Lord or similar. (Harry can use some Dark magic himself but he has to be firmly opposed to Voldemort and mostly on the side of Light.)
- No badly written stories and (short) abandoned WIPs, please.
When you rec stories for this list, please don't leave just a link. To put them up in this list I particularly need a general summary and how it fits my list. Status (WIP, Complete, Abandoned, Hiatus or One-shot), pairings (if there are any) and Rating would help as well!!!
Thanks. :-) And thank you everyone who contributed to this list.
