Master of Deception!

Severus Snape is many things. A teacher, a spy, a traitor, an ally. Some hate him, some love him, and now we know what an incredibly brave man he is. He is indubitably a man of many talents and a master of deception.

My stories all center around Severus Snape. My older, gen, stories were an effort to create a believable back story and an alternative future for a character who has become my favourite character in the Potterverse. My ongoing WIP builds on this backstory, and mostly disregards DH. My later stories are AU and disregard some of the events in DH. They mostly center around my OTP: SSHG. And: Snape lives!
