coming here to look at your sillier posts because I just finished ch 6 of what a summer and wow you ripped my heart out and left me sobbing on the floor
MUAHAHHAA (I’m flattered to hear I’ve written anything tear jerking)
Now would you like to see the Dogwood Snape angst I just finished cooking up
Being a half vamp, Snape doesn’t have to drink blood very often and can do without it for a while, but the longer he goes without the thirstier he gets .
He hates the blood thirst because it’s so primal, a pain to control by the end, and he can’t stand not being in control. So he’s scared of giving in and attacking Harry because he doesn’t want to hurt a kid, he’s ashamed of needing to drink blood, and it’d be proof that he’s weak and impulsive, what he spent years training in the mental arts not to be.
When/if Harry finds out that Snape gets bloodthirsty more easily when Harry is really close to him, Harry would def try to offer his own blood so there’s no reason for Snape to worry and be seperate from him if Harry just gives it freely, but Snape is too disgusted by himself to accept.
I like this idea a lot; previously Dogwood AU is mostly Harry oriented with his being a werewolf as the focus, and Snape’s being a half vampire is hardly relevant other than him not being transformed if Harry were to bite him. So this gives half vampire Snape some more development and complexity!
ALSO I wanna do a reverse Dogwood AU where Harry is bloodthirsty and needs to feed but is too scared of bleeding Snape to death.
Meanwhile Snape is like “it takes a loss of roughly half a gallon or 8 cups or 2 litres of blood for an average adult human to die of blood loss. An adult human’s stomach capacity is 8 cups. You are 12 years old. I’ll be fine”
