There's also 'The Black and the Snake'. This one is quite interesting as it explores their relationship through a series of magical mishaps. A spell gone wrong binds them together in a way that they can't be too far from each other. This forces them to communicate and understand each other better. It's full of humor and also some really heart - warming moments as they break down the barriers between them.
I really like 'A Different Perspective'. In this fanfic, it's set post - war. Sirius, who survived the Battle of Hogwarts, and Severus, who has been pardoned, find themselves living in the same wizarding community. The story focuses on how they both have to deal with their past traumas and how they start to interact with each other. They start off avoiding each other but are gradually drawn together by their shared experiences and the realization that they are not so different after all.
One common theme is redemption. Given their rocky pasts full of enmity, many fanfictions explore how they can redeem themselves in each other's eyes. For example, Sirius might realize that Severus wasn't all bad, and Severus might come to terms with the fact that Sirius had his own reasons for his actions. Another theme is friendship against all odds. They are two very different characters, but fanfictions often show how they can form a bond despite their differences. This can be really inspiring as it shows that even the most unlikely pairs can find common ground.
One popular piece of fanfiction in this category is 'Shadows of the Past'. It delves deep into the complex relationship between Snape and Sirius. The author does a great job of exploring their characters and how they might interact in a different, more intimate context. Another one is 'Unlikely Bonds' which shows their journey from animosity to something more.
Yes, there are. One I remember had a really creative take on how they met. In this fanfic, the female Severus Snape was a potions expert at a different school and Sirius Black visited there for some inter - school event. Their initial encounter was full of tension and misunderstanding, but as the story progressed, they started to see the good in each other. It was a great read for those who like this pairing.
One common theme is the clash of personalities. Sirius is often seen as more carefree and rebellious, while Severus, even as a female, is likely to be portrayed as more reserved and intellectual. Their relationship in these fanfictions usually starts with some sort of conflict that they have to overcome.
One great Severus Snape x Sirius Black fanfiction is 'The Unlikely Bond'. It delves deep into their complex relationship, exploring how they might overcome their long - held grudges. Another is 'Shadows of the Past', which shows a more angsty side of their relationship as they are forced to work together. And 'A New Beginning' offers a fresh take on their dynamic, with a touch of mystery.
Good fanfiction in this pairing often has well - developed characters. It should stay true to the essence of Snape and Sirius as we know them from the original series. For example, Snape's brooding nature and Sirius's rebellious streak should be there. Also, a strong plot that isn't just about the relationship but has some sort of conflict or mystery to keep the readers engaged.
In fanfiction, Sirius Black and Severus Snape often have complex relationships. Sometimes they are portrayed as rivals, with their past grudges from Hogwarts days still lingering. Their different loyalties, Sirius to James and the Order, and Snape to Dumbledore (while being a former Death Eater), add layers of tension.
I recall a fanfic called 'A New Alliance'. It starts with an alternate universe scenario where Snape and Sirius are childhood friends. The story explores how their friendship would have changed the course of events in the wizarding world. It has some interesting plot twists, especially regarding their relationships with other characters like James Potter.
I really like 'A Different Kind of Rivalry'. It shows a unique take on the relationship between Snape and Sirius. Instead of just focusing on their enmity from the original series, it creates a scenario where they have to work together and gradually start to understand and care for each other. It's a refreshing read.
They are an interesting pairing because they are such opposites. Snape is brooding and often seen as the outcast, while Sirius is more bold and carefree. In fanfiction, it's fascinating to see how these two very different personalities could come together.
