Oy.

You guys, you've got to know you've spent too much time in HP fandom at large when I suggest Snape/Luna and you worry I'm angling for a remake of Lolita. :)

Let me try that again. Snape and Luna, interacting in some positive fashion involving mutual understanding and respect. peacockharpy's just-written ficlet is a lovely example.

But if the story's set post-Hogwarts, bonus points for UST. Because actual Snape/Luna is the real challenge, I think.

Better now?

I'm hoping that if I keep writing little bits and things, the urge to really indulge the bunny will go away... unfortunately the bunnies just get worse and worse.

“I never expected you to take that challenge to heart, Miss Lovegood.”

Luna blinked. "Well, it was nothing," she said airily. "The Luxembourgian authorities had some fatal flaws in their attempts to hide the Humdinger’s existence. Of course, now my father’s publicised photos and documentation, and The Quibbler has got quite a reputation ever since we interviewed Harry." She played with a strand of dirty blonde hair that had fallen loose from her bun. "That was a long time ago, though."

Snape did not comment -- the last person he wanted to think about these days was Harry Potter. "Yes. Well, Miss Lovegood, do you want to prove your theory yourself, or should I accept this as a gift?"

"Oh, a gift, I suppose," she said. "I have to Apparate back to America shortly."

For a moment, he was almost disappointed. "America? How... interesting," he said, a note of sarcasm in his voice.

"Yes," she said casually, "my husband and I are flying to Florida tomorrow, to investigate the reported Kroggle sightings there."

Snape raised his eyebrows. "Do you intend to prove the existence of every mythological creature?"

She tucked her wand behind her ear. "That would be nice," she said vaguely. "Of course, we've been so busy with the UFO cover-up, that I haven't had time enough to look for Kroggles or Quoads."

"UFO?"

"Unidentified Flying Object, Professor," she answered. "It's a passion of my husband's -- as soon as we have concrete proof, I'll make sure my father publishes it in The Quibbler." She paused. "Though I'm not sure Fox can read The Quibbler."

Snape cleared his throat. "Well, Miss Lovegood--"

"It's Mulder now, actually," she said with a wave of her hand. "It was nice to see you again, Professor." With a quiet crack she Disapparated.

Snape stared at the spot where she had been standing, making a silent promise never to involve himself with any Americans named Mulder.

You are SO BAD.

Does this mean that the other half of the story is Scully/Snape?

Re: Just for you, RJ

[lydaclunas.livejournal.com]

Of course... not. ;)

I did tell you about the Scully/Snape themes I had going in my epic badfic crossover from years ago, right? :)

Of course I was, Alec. It's epic badfic. The fewer people that know about it in detail, the better. :)

I like the "quiet crack." Is that what you're on? :)

Re: Just for you, RJ

Why no, Erica, certainly not! I am insulted, really.

This was my crack fic:

"Snape again stared up at Scully, with an exasperatedly annoyed sigh. 'I don’t have the time to concern myself with trivialities like this.' Scully crossed her arms, and raised her eyebrow, clearly not intending to leave without an answer. Snape found that the forceful honesty and perception of the Muggle agent could be quite disarming."

Yep. I think my writing's seen vast improvement since then. ;)
