Okay, so it probably doesn't show much, but HP/SS is one of my OTPs (yes, I'm one of these multiple-OTP kind of person. Not only am I picky and intolerant, I am also obsessive-compulsive. Or something.) and I've read, huh, many, many, many fics about that ship. (Not enough, alas, but there are only so many hours in a day.)

So here's my question: where are the HP/SS fics from Snape's PoV? Does that even exist? If it does, can anyone send me a link?

That's almost like why-are-there-so-little-Snape-going-after-Harry-fics. (But I've experimented some first hand, so I know that exist.)

I wonder if it has anything to do with us, HP/SS writers. (I'm counting myself in because I say so. Dinosaur privilege and all that. The fics never got finished, I am well aware of that.) Could it be because we can identify more with Harry when he's lusting-after/looking-up-to/call-it-what-you-want Snape than the reverse? I imagine the question I'm more or less dancing around is: aren't we more attracted by Snape than we are by Harry? And yet it's not true. Every good fic provides good reasons for Snape's feelings for Harry. That's why they're good. (That may also be that I'm an easily contented reader and I like my happy ending just as much as your next fangirl after my angst, but I won't begin second-guessing myself.)

Just lookin' if anyone knows where I could read such fics.

Something about the power dynamic between characters of such a major age difference, I guess.

Yes, I imagine so, too.

Thanks for the recs and the links!
