Summary: Severus Snape doesn't have a particularly accommodating nature. But he is willing to make an effort when the right man insists...
 

Since You Insist...

Severus Snape is a private, wary Slytherin. He's in love, but believes himself too... charmless... to pull off outright seduction.

Unwilling to expose his heart to the daunting humiliation of rejection, he uses Harry's inexplicable hero-worship to his benefit. He discourages an auror career, supporting the DADA apprenticeship. Openly despises the French boyfriend, the Quidditch-nut and the mousy librarian, until Potter finally explodes:

“If you want me for yourself just take me, for fuck's sake! I'm yours, Severus. Yours!”

“There's no need to scream, Harry.” Severus smirks triumphantly. “I'd be delighted to... take you, since you insist on being... mine.”

*giggles* Severus Snape is a cunning, opportunistic, manipulative slimy Slytherin extraordinaire, that's what he is. And we love him just this way. Well done, Sev.
P.S. A librarian? Hmm, now that is something to consider;)
I enjoyed this one immensely:)

[pekeleke]

Yes. Severus is rather cunning in this one, isn't he? and of course this is precisely the way we like him best. That terrifyingly clever mind put to good use with plotting Harry's surrender... Hummm... no wonder he had poor Harry climbing up the wall so effectively. :D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this little drabble so much, my friend. Thanks, as usual, for your every wonderful comment. They all mean the world to me, agness. They really do. :D

I think that Harry will scream again, but in Severus' private chambers... x) I love when Severus knows what he wants an he is doing everything to gets it. And of course he is sooo Slytherin.
Well done, my dear!

[pekeleke]

LOL. Oh, I have no doubt that Harry is going to scream very loudly and very often in the future, myk, both inside and outside of Sev's room. I'm pretty sure that our cunning Slytherin master has a plan to make that happen, too... ;D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, my friend. Thanks, as always, for your lovely comment.

PS: Have you already moved to Scotland, btw? And where exactly are you moving, if you don't mind me asking? I absolutely love it over there. From all the places that I've both visited and lived in along the years Scotland is my very favourite one. It holds some of my most precious memories, too. My first, ever, romantic vacation with the man I ended up marrying, my actual wedding, my first, and third and fifth anniversaries... I hope you are as happy there as I was every time I visited the place, my friend.

I love Scotland, too. I've been there six times :D. I'm flying tomorrow to Edinburgh (but unfortunately I won't be living there) and my fiance with his father and our dog are leaving on Wednesday. Hope we will find nice flat soon x) And yes, I'm very happy ^^

[pekeleke]

Oh... Edinburgh is lovely... I wish you the best of lucks with your flat hunting. Take care of yourself and have a good trip, myk!

Hugs

Such a cunning plan! :) Good job, Severus!

[pekeleke]

LOL. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, lily. Thanks for your charming review. ;)

[herika]

What a very manipulative and cunning Snape. I love it so much :) *giggles*

[pekeleke]

LOL. True, Severus was in top Slytherin form in this drabble. :D
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. Thanks for taking the time to both read and review. Your lovely comment was greatly appreciated. :)

Then I hope you don't mind if I translate your drabble to Hungarian. I'm sure, the Hungarian snarry fan will enjoy it too :D
Of course, I would give you the link to it.

[pekeleke]

OH... Yes, of course you have my permission to translate "Since you Insist..." into Hungarian. My only request is that you send me the link to your translation, once it is out, which you've already offered. ;)

I do keep an updated list of authorized translations of my work, which you can find here, in case you want to see it. Your name has already been added to it.

Oh, thank you. Since I was very quick, here is the link:

[pekeleke]

Woa! That happened so fast... Thanks for taking the time to send me your link, I've already added it to my list. :)

[soleo]

HAHAHA! What a Slytherin way to do things. It certainly takes longer than the Gryffindor method.

I wonder how long it really took for Potter to explode - maybe he was seeing those other blokes to make Severus jealous.

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yes, the Gryffindor approach is certainly faster, but I don't think our Sev would have felt quite this satisfied with himself if his triumph hadn't required at least a modicum level of plotting...

Judging by Harry's rather flustered claims, I'd dare say you are right, you know? There's a pretty good chance that he picked all those guys on purpose to rile Severus up. Obviously he should have known that Sev, being Sev, he wouldn't be the one to cave in first...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, soLeo. Thanks, as usual, for keeping up with my work. :)

[fallconsmate]

oh my goodness!! what a wily slythern, getting harry to say "take me, i'm yours!"

*applause* beautifully done! (and OMG yes, that would be a smirk to behold!)

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yep. Our dear potions master was in top Slytherin form here, wasn't he? ;D
I agree with you on the point that his insufferably satisfied smirk would have been a sight to behold indeed. I think I'd have happily paid a sackful of Galleons just to see it...

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, my friend. Thanks, as always, for your wonderfully funny comment, fallconsmate. Hearing from you has the power to cheer me up, no matter what I'm doing. :D

[alisanne]

Ahahahah! Now that's what I call a Slytherin approach. ;)
Nicely done!

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yep. A Slytherin approach indeed... ;D
I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble, ali. Thanks so much for your review.

[adafrog]

Bad Severus!! Just tell him, silly. lol

[pekeleke]

LOL. Tell him? Nah... Where would we all get our wicked, wicked, fun at poor Harry's expense if our cunning Sev had decided to go all Gryffindor on his clueless beloved for once? I think his way is much more entertaining... ;D

I'm thrilled that this little drabble made you laugh, ada. Thanks for this wonderfully, extra-long, comment. Receiving it was a lovely surprise indeed. :D

[adafrog]

:) True, Severus must be Severus.

[keyairreem]

Wow! Poor Harry-but then again he does have a Slytherin side himself so he might have planned the whole unacceptable boyfriends thing. Well done. A very enjoyable read. Thank you for sharing.

[pekeleke]

LOL. Yes. Judging by Harry's one-liner I'd say that he was attempting a little Slytherin cunning of his own by choosing all those other blokes to get up Sev's long nose... He should have known better, though. Sev, being Sev, wasn't going to be the one to cave in first, was he? :D

I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this drabble so much. Thanks for taking the time to both read and review. Your charming comment was greatly appreciated.
