fannishness. go away.

Can anyone rec me a romantic, preferably het, Snapefic, in which it is specified that the reason he has greasy, oily hair is that he *never washes it*?

This is not meant in snark. I actually have a great appreciation for the ingenious and various ways writers have explained the hair, and am fond of Fanon!Snape. But the reason I originally liked Snape was his greasy hair. Here, at last, was a potential hero whom I had that in common with! A rallying point for those who are indifferent to hygiene! (This was before FotR came out, and Aragorn made it cool.) A man who could run his fingers through my hair without me being ashamed of it!

But all the women who write down their fantasies about Snape seem to think he must, really, deep down, have clean hair. Occasionally you run across one where's he so depressed or self-loathing that he uses it to push people away, but usually the love of a good heroine cures him of that.

I want a fic where she likes it that way. Where she loves the look and feel of it, the heavy sensuality of it, of the unadulterated scent of him that permeates it.

Please tell me such a fic exists.

Oh you think *you've" got plot bunnies?

I am very, very afraid that if I end up hurricaned in this week the result might be me *writing* this. Very scary.

Well, I'm in upstate New York so I'm unlikely to be hurricaned in (as much as I'd like to be), but ooh, I may have to put off that History essay a bit longer and write it as well.

Het too. Not like I think I actually *could* write smut, but hey.

I actually wasn't thinking smut, particularly, (although, you know, that would be nice.) Mine would probably end up being something fluffy, shippy, and PG-13.

Except, now I'm thinking: Bellatrix/Snape PWP! Yes!

Animagus!McGonagall trying out her grooming skills!

Stop me before the bunnies take over.
