HEY SNAPE REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME WHEN

A scene inspired by @wixenforever’s NottPott fic, The Burning of The Library. Its great, I love it, and I love the scenes Snape happens to be in and how he reacts to Harry and Theo’s friendship. Its like he forgot he had a best friend once huh? Hence this was born.

@jundsthoughts @wixenforever :))) I love Snape. He’s a right bastard and I would read all books from his Pov. Theo called Snape out once and it has not left him alone since. Let it simmer, he will get it…eventually. In his own, dark, miserable, Severus way.

god i will never be over the delivery + the line "nobody at this hospital even LIKED amber" like i've blocked out as much of that episode and the aftermath as i can because it makes me feel unwell but that line just stuck with me. how amber was fired out of the blue and sobbed on the spot and no one ran to her (except wilson). how i had a visceral reaction (/negative) to seeing her wear wilson's jumper. how amber seemed to be toying with wilson but played along with the "house wants to share custody of me" and genuinely genuinely loved him. the parallels to house? in front of people he does everything for himself and on his own he does everything for other people. how she left the house in the middle of the night to get her boyfriend's best friend who was roaring drunk and might not remember who took him home. wilson breaking down in his office and giving up the hope of a last goodbye so she isn't in pain. everyone coming to see her and seeing it through her perspective. everyone in that big white room coming on the side where she can't see the machine keeping her alive. "i don't want the last emotion i feel to be anger." how i've convinced myself that that line made wilson not blame house. "nobody at this hospital even liked amber." but the way she died was horrible and avoidable and stupidly tragic and idk there's something to special so me about how house denies guilt but hallucinates her specifically. something something the show took you by the hands and looked you in the eye and said "no one deserves to die. look at me. it doesn't matter, none of it matters. she was human, therefore loved, and none of the rest of it mattered."

POST-FINALE GRÅKAPPAN IMPLICATIONS

Okay, so this is from the Gråkappan’s Wikipedia article. I posted this earlier thinking, “Huh, that’s weird. Wonder if it means something for Severance, haha” and GOOD LORD. IT DOES. IT DEFINITELY DOES.

Because what did Jame say to Helly down there? He doesn’t love his daughter Helena. But he sees the spirit of Kier in Helly — in her.

She grew up in the “poverty” of isolation from the outside world, and thus has an unspoiled, purified mind — a lavish church. Jame believes her outie, meanwhile, was given everything, but has been broken and irreparably tainted. Kier’s spirit… is gone.

So maybe Jame’s going to do what the Gråkappan does. Maybe he’ll switch the priests.

Fitzier thought of the day is that James must have tried, probably quite hard, to befriend Francis, before we meet them at the start of the series. I don't think he ever liked Francis, their temperaments are too different for that (before going thru the horrors), but Francis is his senior on the expedition and James thrives by ensuring that he is liked by those in power around him, by ensuring that he is useful to them so that none look too closely at his gilded exterior to notice what it hides underneath. Sure he is shielded by Sir John, he does not report directly to Francis, but even then it goes against his entire survival strategy to be that openly hostile and rude towards anybody, even someone he can barely stand.

Which means, he must have tried with Francis, and probably tried again when his initial efforts failed, only to be met with utter disdain. And if your life is built around a lie you must hide at all costs and if the second in command is an Arctic veteran and a far superior sailor than you will ever be, if he rebuffs all your attempts at friendship and looks at you with that disdain—what do you feel except that you are seen for exactly what you are and rightfully condemned?

I think James hates Francis with everything he has because he would desperately like to believe that he is brave and clever and accomplished, that he deserves fame and success, and equally knows deep down, perhaps too deep down for conscious awareness, that he isn't, he doesn't, and he never will be.

Greetings,

I am a little obsessed with your Rossier pirate AU now. I was wondering whether you'd be willing to share the long version of it (the short version in the tags was already excellent)!

All the best

Ps. Because I sometimes think I am funny:

John Ross, having the Admiralty on speed dial: Why is my nephew fraternizing with this Irish guy??

William Edward Parry (their captain, basically), covering for them: Lol, idk what you mean, man.

Sorry this has been sitting here for a while because I didn't exactly know what to write so my pookie @vykerr helped me :))) and I also wanted to draw something for it so here we go!

Yippee!!

After coming back from the Antarctic expedition, Crozier is wracked by jealousy that his beloved Ross is getting married, even though he knows they cannot be together. Unbeknownst to him, Ross is using the marriage as a cover to protect Crozier, as he knows what the admiralty would do if they found out the Irishman was also a sodomite.

When Crozier is passed over to command the expedition to find the northwest passage, he finally snaps. He takes a small crew, sneaks onto the Terror, and commandeers her, sailing south instead of north. In the southern hemisphere he grows his crew by visiting various ports and taking on other naval officers and seamen that have been left out to dry by the admiralty. Then Crozier begins to engage in acts of piracy, though only against British naval vessels. He is somewhat of a master tactician, and the Terror being a warship also helps. The men on these crews who survive his raids and surrender are offered a choice between joining his crew or being dropped off at the nearest port.

The admiralty of course wants to send someone to apprehend Crozier and bring him to justice. Ross volunteers, wanting to make sure no harm comes to his beloved Francis, to try and bring him home safely and then he will try and protect him from the harsh hand of the admiralty. But Crozier knows Ross too well, and Ross won't risk killing him, and Crozier uses that to his advantage in their battles. Though of course, Crozier won't risk killing Ross either. He always manages to escape somehow, usually by disabling Ross' ship and then hightailing it out of there.

It gets to the point where despite Ross' insistence that he will eventually be able to capture Crozier, the admiralty no longer think he is capable of it. So they send in the Erebus, captained by Franklin with Fitzjames as his second. Franklin is cocksure that he will be able to take down the Terror with his superior vessel. However, his confidence turns out to be unfounded, as Crozier soundly thrashes him, his men boarding the Erebus and cutting down most of the men. Crozier indulges in killing Franklin himself, revenge for stealing his command. Some of the Erebites surrender, such as Fitzjames, who is taken captive by Crozier. In this case where these men attacked him, Crozier keeps them prisoner.

Crozier has also amassed a large enough crew now for two ships, so decides to take control of Terror's sister, spreading his crew out across the two ships mixed in with a few Erebites who are forced into working for him. The other crewmates teach them all about being pirates. But Crozier takes an instant liking to handsome Fitzjames, and decides to keep him as a personal prisoner in the great cabin.

phew! so many words! Everyone thank Vyker for helping me out because my ass cannot speak English this well!
