Snily - Tumblr Posts
Petition to make Severus and Regulus best friends.
The angst.
And the comedy if Reg gets out of the cave with Jegulus, Platonic and/or romantic Snily. (My aro Lily era isn't finished so) The DRAMA.
Someone here was promoting jeggie because they are the gateway to doubleflower. I'm making it for Snily.
Redemption archs are my favourite. 5 of them at once. 6 if you count Peter, but Peter haven't done a single wrong thing in his life. He's my baby. Let me infantalize him.
Peter being besties with them instead of joining Voldy mmh.
Regulus pushing Snupin agenda to piss of Sirius but Severus getting irritated more.
Mmhh.
Stop hating my boys and love them.
Yeah I'm still obsessed with snape :fanfic rec

I hope you like long fanfics cuz most of these are 300k+++ words. The longest one is like 800k i think?
The Peace Not Promised
His life had been a mockery to itself, as too his death it seemed. For what kind of twisted humour would force Severus Snape to relive his greatest regret? To return him to the point in his life when the only person that ever mattered in his life had already turned away.
A Dealer, Not A Death Eater
It should've been simple: Severus loves Lily, Lily loves Severus, and they live happily ever after - but their dreams are shattered when powerful anti-Muggleborn laws are introduced and Lily's promising career in the Ministry is ruined.
Unwilling to leave the magical world, disgraced brewer Severus struggles to keep them afloat - but when he uses the profits from his illegal potion deals to pay their rent, Lily's terrified that the aurors will swoop and send him to Azkaban.
Fearful of fending for herself in a hostile society, the pressure of being a second-class citizen pushes Lily towards the only people fighting for her rights: Severus' sworn enemies.
Severus, haunted by his Muggle upbringing, is determined not to let history repeat, but can the two of them succeed when the magical world is paved with danger - from the rich promises of Lucius Malfoy to the lure of the Death Eaters, and the ever-seductive call of the Dark Arts?
Come Once Again and Love Me
Severus wakes up in the afterlife expecting something rather different than being almost-seventeen again. But wait - Lily's come back, too - from 1981? Perhaps it's a second chance... but for what?
Severus Snape and the Art of War
After his death, Severus makes the decision to return to the world of the living, starting in the summer of 1975. With his adult knowledge on the upcoming war hidden inside his 15 year old body, he finds his way back to Lily, and his new position in the wizarding world.
The Road Not Taken
What could have happened between Lily and Severus if he had said the right thing outside the Gryffindor Common Room.
The Path Not Tread
Sometimes all that's needed for enormous differences is a small change, as small as the order of a few sentences in a heated fight. Lily Evans unconsciously makes one such change while arguing with her best friend, and the magnitude of consequences her actions cause hold the potential to reshape not only herself and the people around her, but their world's very future. A What-if AU that explores the questions of how much we know ourselves, how much we're truly influenced by our surroundings and how much we do so in turn, whether unexpected consequences arising from the choices we make are our responsibility, and ultimately, whether truth is truly an objective axiom of existence, or only what we make of it.
A list of my favorite Snily fics, just because
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/6613973/1/The-Long-Road-Home The Long Road Home. This is my all-time favorite (so far). It’s over 800,000 words (nearly the length of the entire HP series) and I read it in the span of 3 weeks. It’s my favorite because it consists of adult Snily that reunite after their falling out in school, it follows events of HP canon very closely during Harry’s school years until the end, it has alive!Regulus who is bffs with Snape, Snape isn’t as miserable as canon because, well, he didn’t cause Lily to die, and women actually are attracted to him. I always love reading a fic when women are attracted to Snape, idk 😂 The fic is very well written and I am not usually a fan of OCs but the author had me caring for everyone in this fic! I shed many tears during emotional moments but it has a happy ending and even a sweet Christmas one shot that takes place after the events in the story. It’s Snily centric of course but to its core it is an ensemble fic and the author handles it very well. I liked reading a Snape that’s in character to a degree but also not completely, hopelessly miserable. I won’t spoil anything but let me just say a certain young character completely captured my heart. This fic has become my canon practically. I wish I had friends to fangirl over it but alas, a tumblr post must suffice. If anyone reads this or has read it, please come to my dms 😂
https://archiveofourown.org/works/716010/chapters/1325814 Obscura Nox Animae was my first ever Snily fic! I was reading HP book 1 for the first time around Aug or Sep 2021 and thought how cool it would be to read from Snape’s POV since he’s written in such a negative light in HP. I came across this fic. Heatherlly has a wonderful way of writing that is hard to come by! I even read one of her SSHG fics because I wanted more of her content, and I am typically 110% SNILY ONLY trash 😂 She seems to always have such original ideas and writes the characters SO well. She can write drama, angst, action, romance, and humor all so well. I always enjoy her works but since this was my first, it’s on my fave list!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/11527821 Vox Severus by Adante825. Oh how I wish this was more than a one shot!! Gods above, let this fic from 2017 become a series PLEASE!!! I just found this one a few days ago as I write this post, and absolutely loved it! I personally prefer fics of adult Snily, like the ones mentioned above, but this one was so, so, so much fun! Severus’s voice changes during his years at Hogwarts and everyone notices. I love a fic where people actually find Sev attractive!!! It’s so fun! And… relatable 😏
https://archiveofourown.org/works/13844247/chapters/31840572 Come Once Again and Love Me by laventadorn packs a hard punch in just 25 chapters. I didn’t think I’d like a fic where Sev dies and comes back to life in the past, especially as a teen with the mind of a 38-year-old, but the author handles that with an interesting twist! I absorbed this fic in a day. I couldn’t put it down!! It’s very well-written and in-character. Definitely in my top 5 and is a must-read for Snily fans!!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/37255837 Show Me Family by @zivitz “SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE” but she did it for me!! My twitter friend from the Kabby fandom posted a while back asking for fic requests. I jokingly requested a Snily fic (knowing she wasn’t in the fandom). Being familiar with the characters and up for the challenge, she to my surprise obliged! And blew my expectations out of the water. This fun, fluffy fic packs a lot of tooth-rotting sweetness in just 647 words. Ziv knows children well, so of course she writes them well! With all the unpredictable and funny things that kids say along the way. I love reading a softer Severus, especially Dad!Sev!! And domestic Snily is always so fun. I love them being comfortable with one another. If you’re a snily shipper, severitus lover, and enjoy reading babyfic, this is a short but absolutely lovely read 💞
https://archiveofourown.org/works/501886/chapters/881306 Essence by VR_Trakowski and the sequel Threshold https://archiveofourown.org/works/550550/chapters/980834 are two very lovely fics about a teenaged Severus who’s too afraid to tell Lily his true feelings, but works tirelessly to create the perfect gift for her. Of course, if it didn’t have a happy ending, it wouldn’t be a fic I would recommend, but I’ll keep these reviews spoiler-free! It’s a really interesting AU and is written so wonderfully! I really like fics that show Snily’s differences but how those differences really help complement each individual. Their love is written very beautifully and sensually, and can bring you to feel emotional as you read! Like many other Snily fics, it does not paint the marauders in a positive light. Be sure to pay attention to TW in the sequel and read at your own discretion! Highly recommend! I actually just finished the series today and am having withdrawals.
That’s all for now!
That being said, I’m always on the lookout for a new Snily fic to read! Like I said, my most favorite is The Long Road Home where Snily are adults, most events of HP canon occur (besides Lily’s death, obvi) and I love a happy, domestic ending for Snily. If anyone has any suggestions for completed fics, especially if they’re similar to those requirements, please send them my way. 😁
What if Dron (Draco x Ron) songfic of Justin Bieber's "Anyone"? Or Lucissa or Snily
How? How the fuck is snape obsessed with lily? I’ve seen so many people say this, and it makes no sense. Remus is still mourning his friends but he’s not obsessed. Sirius is no way over James, but he’s not obsessed. The logic is so idiotic. He’s obsessed because what? he’s still thinking about her? Yeah they were friends from a very young age and he blames himself for her death, of course he’s still gonna be thinking about her! If you genuinely think that severus was obsessed with lily, please explain it to me.
I think Sevlily/Sevily is better than Snily for a ship name lmao😭
This is literally them on a daily basis.
"Snivellous/Snivelus/Snivelous doesn't deserve Lilly" And I'm like: "**Snivellus, **Lily."
too many snaters have too many opinions on snily when they cannot even spell her name correctly
CARDIGAN SHIPS CODED :P (No Wolfstar & Jegulus challenge)
Snirius:
— Vintage tee, brand new phone / High heels on cobblestones.
— When you are young, they assume you know nothing.
— Sequin smile, black lipstick / Sensual politics.
— Dancin' in your Levis / Drunk under a streetlight ....
— A friend to all is a friend to none / Chase two girls, lose the one. (This one with Prongsfoot :P)
— You drew stars, around my scars / But now I'm bleedin'.
(I swear Teeth is more Snirius-coded LMAO)
Jeverus:
Technically, it's exactly like Snirius because he and Sirius are besties so they are interchangeable for me. I don't think Severus would allow him to draw suns all over his scars anyway. 🤨
(E. T. For Jeverus though 🙏🏻)
Sevlily (Not my personal favourite though):
— When you are young, they assume you know nothing.
— Sensual Politics.
— You put me on and said I was your favourite.
— Chase two girls, lose the one. (This with Jily, or this with Snulciber except Severus loses Mulciber II. 😓)
— You drew stars around my scars.
— Leavin' like a father, runnin' like water.
— I knew you'd come back to me.
This is the stuff I signed for 🥺💕
happy end
I’d like to imagine, if Lily’s alive in an AU, she would be like: ffs Severus, could you take care of your bloody hair sometimes??
Severus: … *Just letting her fix his hair cause he damn loves it*
Reblog if your blog is a Snily safe space
from a watsonian perspective both snily and jily had dysfunctional and unhealthy elements to their dynamics, but from a doylist perspective snily's flaws were intentionally written into their story as to set it up as a tragedy, thus giving their relationship and subplot real emotional weight. whereas jily's flaws are a result of jkr failing to write a healthy relationship and framing james' lack of respect for her wishes as a quirk. snily is a successful tragedy. jily is a failed love story.
This is also true. Even if you take out the whole death eater/Voldemort war element out of it, Snape and Lily’s story is ultimately much more interesting and stronger to base a lasting relationship off of (they come from different classes, they’re both talented at potions/school, they’re both childhood friends, they’re both studious, they’re both shown to have sharp tongues, they’re both very protective of the people they care for, the element of both of them having to confront their own shortcomings/house/class differences to grow as people and a couple is fascinating, Lily is even shown to be BLUSHING over him, the fact they have some of the most romantic lines in the series, etc) as opposed to James and Lily, where we get NO growth, see no basis of connection besides they’re both gryffindors I guess, and are just expected to accept it. If JK wanted us to buy them as a truly loving couple, she wouldn’t have purposely put in scenes where they’re shown to be antagonistic towards each other right from the start and to where Harry literally thinks “my dad forced her into marrying him”. THAT is not a good thing. That is not how the main character should be viewing his own parents’ relationship as. Even worse is when he confronts Sirius and Lupin about it, they’re only excuse is “well he deflated his head a bit!”, only to add yeah, he lied to her and kept bullying Snape behind her back despite her specifically asking him to stop. Like, really? This is not the basis of romance, that’s the basis of a horribly incompatible relationship and proof James did not grow as a person. They have little in common, their shared scenes are obviously one-sided and entitled, and we know off canon that James couldn’t keep ONE promise to her. How is that okay? At least to make Snily work, Snape AND Lily have to work on both their issues, not one bending to the will of the other.
And no, James trying to fight off Voldemort is not “growth” or being a shining hero, that’s literally bare minimum of being a decent person and parent. You really think Lucius and Narcissa wouldn’t try to fight off someone trying to kill Draco? How about Mrs Zabini for Blaise? The Greengrasses for Daphne and Astoria? How about Arthur and Molly over their kids? The Grangers over Hermione? Hell, let’s say Snape was in James’ place instead, you really think he wouldn’t try everything to keep her and their child safe? Any loving parent would do that, but James is lauded as a beacon of heroism for literally doing something the majority of parents would do anyway.
Also, like, it’s really sad that Lily seemingly has no life or personality outside of James. Her only friends are his friends (despite us seeing she had her own in school? Where did they go? Why don’t they matter?), they only person to talk about her outside of Snapes memories and people mentioning her eyes is SLUGHORN for gods sake. It’s sad Harry gets all this info and treasures from the Potters but NOTHING from the Evans side. Surely there’s nothing they could have left him and she made sure he’d have? Really? Why was her personality taken away to accommodate him? And then of course there’s her letters, where it’s obvious their little picture of domestic bliss is not working. Her life all but revolves around Harry, while we know James is antsy to leave at any moment (and from what we saw, when he did get out it was doing reckless shit). Which yes, is a factor off the fact they were so young and like, probably shouldn’t have a kid, but it’s a red flag that she’s putting in most of the effort while he wants to goof off with his buddies. That’s not a sustainable relationship. That’s a divorce waiting to happen had they survived the war. People can make up all the cute headcanons they want, but the reality is it was far from a fairytale romance.
Like, as I’ve said and you pointed out, they’re a failed romance. They’re not even viable if you look at the elements. Not to say Snape and Lily would be picture perfect, but at least they had a true basis of compatible and would help challenge and make the other grow. You can’t say that for her and James, which ultimately is used to prop him up while degrading her to merely his wife and mother of his child. Snape and Lily have “it’s real for us” and “Always” while James and Lily have her saying hes an arrogant toerag and that she never wants to date him, but somehow they’re the real romance? Give me a break.
@ ppl who keep sayin that my lily is ugly
if you ship snily (severus+lily) rather than jily (james+lily), or are debating on it, here’s a reminder that:
when lily rejected james for being mean and immature, he grew up and stopped bullying people for fun.
when lily rejected severus for using racial slurs, he joined a racist terrorist group.
The torn bond of friendship
The silence between us every time we meet makes my heart ache.
You avert your gaze just so you don't have to look me in the eye. I know that you don't hate me. But to be honest, I'd rather have your hate than your pity.
You wish things had gone differently. But I can't change for you the way you would like me to. Nevertheless, you are important to me.
(You always will be.)

The artist's commentary – psychological aspect/my two cents…
->
Nobody is perfect, no human being is.
Especially not adolescent teenagers who literally have almost no idea about life. Who lack empathy, compassion, maturity, experience and so many other things. All of us have certainly lost a friend at some point in our childhood or adolescence. Close friendships at a young age and the experiences associated with them can have a strong influence on our behavior later in life. All of a person's first intensive relationships with family, friends, etc., whether positive or negative, shape their world view and character immensely.
We can't expect a young person to be flawless and perfect. Maturity comes with years and experience. It is not uncommon for children and youth to be self-centered and egocentric, but that does not make them bad people. To a certain extent, selfishness is even important. As we grow up, we learn to act autonomously, make decisions and form our own opinions. It is clear that we can make mistakes during this process and possibly hurt others. We all make mistakes on our journey through life, that is part of growing up. That is a part of this life.
I have to remind myself each time that they were practically still children as at that time.
Sorry for my poor English, it’s not my native language. I do my best though. Thanks for reading 🖤
(Additional edit 10.02.2024 Tumblr confuses me a little bit, i was wondering why my previous image lost it’s quality after uploading. It took me too long to draw and i need to show the details. Anyways for better detailed view -> I’ve split the artwork. 😌)
