Here is my art for the story "The Masks We Bear" that @owlswithfins created for the 2023 Snapebang event hosted by @snapebang! The symbolism in this tale is delightful and the details are nicely intricate (and sometimes you go back and say "oh, of course!") and it's a fun read and re-read folks!

Harry's pose, with his glasses falling off, is based off of the concept of "Atlas holding up the world" slowly being crushed by the cracking concept of "The Golden Boy Who Lived", Severus' pose is meant to mirror "Hamlet contemplating Yorrick's skull", and Lily's (+) pose does rather draw a bit on that "Three Fates" or "Triple Godess" idea. Sev's wall of cracked masks ("The Spy" (sub rosa, who knows whether he is bad with a mask of good or good with a mask of bad), "The Professor" with potions on the brain, "The Prince", & "Snivellus") loosely on the Pink Floyd 2000 "The Wall Live" cover too because the story has wonderful homages and nods to Sev's musical tastes.

Earning His Forgiveness By @owlswithfins

I'm finally done with this one! This is the first-ever fanfic that drew me into the Jeverus pairing, and now I can't stop reading fanfics featuring these two! I'm incredibly grateful that I stumbled upon this beautiful piece, and I highly recommend it if you haven't read it yet. ❤

you're laughing. dennis has a system for seducing men that's his name backwards and instead of it ending with separation it ends with trying to fulfill the man and it involves dennis' mommy issues/kink plus it actually fucking works and he's been giving mac anal orgasms via remote controlled extra large vibrating anal beads and you're laughing.

something about mac rejecting donald because he can only desire love from people who treat him coldly, cruelly or violently, like his luther did, no matter how right for him that person may be

something about mac pining after dennis during the years that dennis was the most apathetically cruel to him, the years that dennis spent scratching his face and wreaking havoc with his emotions and dependency on him.

something about charlie yelling at mac in the gang texts for abandoning him for dennis

something about charlie looking at mac with wide eyes, gently trying to nudge him into accepting donald’s love, the sort that he deserves

something about charlie asking mac to be a part of his legacy, gently trying to give him the sort of love that he deserves

something about mac rejecting charlie and donald’s affections, the sort of affections that’s everything he’s ever wanted, but obsessing over dennis and luther, pining for the affections that broke him as a child in the first place

Title: The Masks We Bear
Author: OwlsWithFins
Artist: Momo T. Daye
Rating: T
Pairings: Severitus (Harry & Severus), Lily & Severus, past Lily/Severus
Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Infidelity, PTSD, Substance Abuse, References to Suicidal Ideation, Death of Minor Characters
Tags: Hogwarts 5th Year, Snape is Harry’s Biological Father, Trans Characters, Complicated Relationships, Muggle Lighters, 70s Prog Rock, Humor, Angst, Fluff, Harry Needs A Hug, Severus Needs Some Sleep, Lily Needs to Set Something on Fire (Preferably Petunia’s House), Alternating POV

Summary: When Lily appears to Severus through the power of the Resurrection Stone, she reveals a long-buried secret about Harry’s parentage and tasks Severus with rescuing Harry from the Dursleys.

Severus isn’t certain he’s up to this new challenge, but he’s determined to keep his promise to Lily—for the boy’s sake and maybe even for his own. After all, Potter may be just like his father, but that fact no longer seems like the divide between them it once did.

Harry, meanwhile, is baffled that Snape of all people is the one to finally take him away from the Dursleys—supposedly for good. He’s determined not to let himself hope that things might truly get better, but his time at Spinner’s End threatens his resolve. Reluctantly, he begins to trust Snape, and he starts to wonder if maybe—just this once—hope doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

I think everyone has both "hard" headcanons (things that are so integral to your understanding of a story that you can't enjoy content that contradicts them), and "soft" headcanons (things that are mutable, where you aren't strongly attached or you're open to alternate interpretations) and if you aren't sure if something is one or the other you can just read a fic where the author disagrees with you and see whether you react with "Huh, that's interesting" or "I have been overcome with a creeping sense of existential wrongness."
