Reviewer: Gaycrow

In a recent re-posting of this story, Sansa came up with a new (to me) description of fluffy porn - florn, and this story is a lovely example of that.

I’m a real sucker for stories where Snape and Harry get totally carried away by lust, and can excuse almost anything to read that. Not much to excuse here, though. Just lots of wand play, double entendres, and a Snape who’s intoxicated by being in Harry’s power ... plus sharp, snappy writing, with clever, humorous sentences like these:

The boy’s brain made more noise than a freight train, screeching and thumping along its mental tracks ... and “Poor dear,” the oldest was still clucking in a very motherly way. “Problem with your wand?”

“Not anymore,” Harry answered over Severus’s shoulder.


"A Scientific Approach" is a delightful little ficlet, highly recommended to those who enjoy the lighter side of Snarry.

Author’s summary/notes: Jo Ellen wanted Slytherin fiction for her birthday. Casting about for ideas, I asked Sanj for a pairing and a concept. Sanj said, "Snape/Harry; Harry explains cheese from a can. Or some other incomprehensible Muggle thing." The result was almost certainly not what she meant, but it was fun to write, and since it's definitely Slytherin fiction, I offered it to Jo.

Reviewer: Gaycrow

All it took was one night of slightly too much to drink, one snippy comment from Snape about Harry's parentage, and about eleven seconds of standing right up in Snape's personal space yelling before Harry found himself plastering his erstwhile professor to the wall of the pub.

That’s how it starts, and things move quickly. In public, Snape and Harry are the same as always ... quarrelling and sniping at each other, but the nights are different.

Snape’s starts talking and the game deepens. Harry feels he has to respond, and in the final sentence of this sexy little ficlet he does so, in a manner that not only takes Snape by surprise, but made me grin in delight. Those who like the lighter side of Snape and Harry will hopefully feel the same.

The writing here is tight and sparse, and highly descriptive; it's a very good story. I only have one little quibble. Most people probably won’t think anything of it, but finicky Brit-pickers like me might find the mention of Cheez Whiz a bit jarring. Don’t press the back-button though - "Say Anything" is too good to let the mention of a little can of spray cheese spoil it (and I did love the sentence in which it's used).
