What are the common themes in Severus Snape Reader Fanfiction?

One common theme is the forbidden love aspect. Since it's a teacher - student relationship, it's taboo. Another is redemption. Snape has a complex past, and fanfictions might explore how a relationship with a student could be part of his journey towards redemption. Also, there's often the theme of secrecy. They would have to keep their relationship hidden from others in Hogwarts.

One common theme is redemption. Since Snape has such a complex and somewhat tragic past, many fics explore how his relationship with the reader (as his wife) helps him find redemption or heal from his past traumas. Another theme is love conquering all. It shows how their love can overcome the barriers of his dark past, his role in the wizarding world, and the prejudices around him.

Another theme is his loyalty. Despite his prickly exterior, Snape was fiercely loyal, and in fanfictions about his 'fragility', this loyalty can be a double - edged sword. It can put him in difficult situations where he has to sacrifice his own well - being, like when he protected Harry for Lily's sake.

Common themes? Well, there's the exploration of Snape's past. In many female - centered fanfictions, the female character uncovers the secrets of Snape's past and this helps in either mending his broken soul or understanding him better. Transformation is also a theme. Snape may transform as a person due to his interactions with the female character. Also, there's the theme of sacrifice. The female or Snape might sacrifice something for the other's well - being.

One common theme is his relationship with Lily. Fanfictions often explore how his love for her started, grew, and how it affected him. For example, in many stories, his actions are directly or indirectly related to his feelings for Lily.

One common theme is acceptance. It often explores how Snape, as a trans character, seeks acceptance in the rather traditional and sometimes unforgiving wizarding society. Another theme is identity struggle. He has to deal with his own understanding of his gender while also dealing with the expectations of others around him. For example, in Hogwarts, he might face discrimination or misunderstanding from students or other staff members.

There are fics that focus on Snape mentoring Hermonie in a more in - depth way than in the original books. This could involve him teaching her dark arts defense from a more practical and less textbook - based perspective. Another recurring theme is the idea of Hermonie being the one to truly understand Snape's pain, especially related to his unrequited love for Lily. She becomes a confidante for him, and this forms the basis of their relationship in many fanfictions.

One common theme is often the exploration of Snape's complex character in a different light. His submissive side might be shown in relationships, perhaps in a romantic or platonic power - dynamic context. For example, in some fanfics, he could be submissive to a more powerful magical being.

One common theme is redemption. Since both characters have had their share of dark moments or are misjudged, fanfictions often explore their journey towards redemption. For example, Snape's actions towards the end of the original series are often further explored in terms of his true motives and how he might be redeemed in the eyes of others, especially Remus.

One common theme is the clash of different supernatural elements. Snape's magic from the Harry Potter world against the vampires and werewolves of Twilight. Another could be the idea of love and sacrifice, which is big in both universes.
