[untitled] by deathdaydungeon
Pairing/Characters: Gen; Severus, Albus; flashback appearances from Tobias, Eileen, Lily, Marauders, and Lucius
Rating: PG to PG-13 I'd say
Words: 4827
Prompt: "Some headcanons or a story about how Lily ISN'T Snape's happy memory when he casts a patronus."
Warnings: Canon-like scenes of bullying; some strong language.
Quote:
It was impossible. Everything was tainted.

His happiest memories contained Lily, but the dementor seemed to be aware of this. It seemed to be revelling in his darker memories, gleefully drawing them to the surface and forcing Snape to re-live every second of his ex-best friend’s hatred, destroying the happy moments he was trying to focus on.

Thanks for the rec. I never would have found this otherwise and it was brilliant!

Tumblr's decentralized nature makes it hard to follow fandom unless you want to drink from a fire hose, and I don't really, so it's just that I happen to follow a couple of people who reblog stuff like this (and I think would have been at home on snapedom or the like in Ye Aulden Days, but, alas).
