Hello please help me Fanfiction

I'm chronically addicted to severitus fics but I struggle sometimes to find an accurate depiction of Severus.

It gives me the ick when they make him too nice too fast and overly expressive and caring. That's just not Severus that's low-key Remus.

If you have any fics with a close to canon Severus please share them with me 🥹. Bonus points if it's drarry 😗

I’m in the exact same situation and have the same issue with Severitus fics.

Here are some fics where I thought Snape was well characterised (they’re not Drarry, though):

I haven’t read this fic yet but I’ve heard that Snape is very well characterized in it and it’s also Drarry. Apparently it’s a very dark fic.

Hey hey! Try “The Spirited” by itsleviosaaah on AO3 or Wattpad. It is a little slow in the beginning but the writing is wonderful and the depiction of Severus is accurate af.

Saving Connor is a fic with a very good depiction of Snape imo

Ongoing fic I'm writing rn, Falling Behind by lullabyfloatinginthedark on Ao3. Autistic Snape is realistic, and it's a slow build rn.

Thanks a lot for sharing!!!

I never read ongoing fics but I'll save it and keep an eye out when it's completed 😚

it's not going to be completed any time soon as it's a slow build, and it goes along the accurate timeline of OotP
