Snakeskins complete version.

Realized im still obsessed with this fic (fuck jkr tho) and wanted to share my most complete version of it. ignore the unfinished table of contents this has all chapters published as of feb 2023 plus bonus ending from sunnys now deleted blog. some names have been adjusted by me, two bc sunny changed them in the rewrite, one bc i got attached, sorry.

the file is massive btw give it a while to load

Slowburn romance between Arthur and feli? Incredible

Owen's personality? Gorgeous

The parents and Daniel and loving and chiara and everybody's relationship with eachother? Incredibly well written

Hotel? Trivago

the PAIN I felt for Charlie abshehqjevqhwhhe

And Mrs. Higgs and her dress shop and Arthur and feli's relationship with the kids, the teachers and their detailed personalities, all the fights and anguish and abahajwhAnhajahshhqhshshHQHEVEHWJEHR SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD

This was hands down one of THE BEST books I've ever read like holy cow it was so much better than the Harry potter books themselves

Also I love the way you wrote Harry like he's just some guy trying to do his job and for that I salute him

Also 150 points to Flitwick for putting the minister in a box lmao that was golden

Also Scorpious been a nerd for muggle engineering? We love that

Also love Mrs. Baker and Mr. Gamp's nerdyness about transport and engineering go queens

Hope Eliza gets the therapy she needs and becomes the next care of magical creatures professor fr fr

This was the longest and most incredible piece of writing I have ever consumed and if you ever make anything like that again PLEASE tell me cause I will eat that shit up like a man who can feel his stomach start to eat himself from the inside form hunger fr fr

So, I'm always always happy to nerd out about snakeskins, and I love it so much, but.

I did not actually write it.

I shared my personal doc of it with the proposed ending after Sunny's blog was deleted but all that's in it is the fanfition.net version with some changed names for my own reading experience. Like I used Lukas Bondevik for Norway because sunny used that in the original version and I think I took the names for the siblings from the ao3 rewrite iirc because they're the correct Italian version.

I was HAPPY! You (sunruner; do you even have a tumblr?) made me laugh and smile for once in this 40 chapter long goddamn amazing story. Things were looking up, but NO. Chapter 34 just went and ripped my heart out once again. I just want to hold South Italy close and just tell him that he's doing a good job because I don't know anything more this Nation needs right now. He's falling apart and his brothers are paying for it which only increases his self-deprecation and self-loathing. I haven't even gotten to the reunion between North Italy and Germany but I'm pretty sure it'll end up being a shit-fest after what went down. And I hate Germany right now. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

I will say one thing, I'm a little upset of how the other Nations relations with America are being treated in this story. America is literally fighting a battle against the very people he sworn to serve and (probably) even protect. AND NO ONE IS EVEN QUESTIONING WHY AMERICA STOPPED SHOWING UP TO FUCKING MEETINGS? NO ONE IS QUESTIONING WHY HE HAS KEPT TO HIMSELF? NO ONE THOUGHT THAT MAYBE, AFTER EVERY-FUCKING-THING THAT HAPPENED IN THAT GODFORSAKEN MANSION, AMERICA NEEDED A LITTLE TLC!? BECAUSE FROM THIS READER'S PERSPECTIVE, THE OTHER NATIONS ABANDONED HIM. THEY HAD THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO HELP THEM, BUT NO ONE (NOT EVEN AMERICA'S BROTHER CANADA) BOTHERED TO CONSOLE HIM. CALL ME FUCKING PATRIOTIC I DON'T CARE, BUT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT SOMEONE WOULD KNOW BETTER!
