Summary:

There are several stories in which Harry or Snape get thrown into an alternative reality or dimension, and they have to adjust to an entirely different role, and relationship.

I have yet to read a story in which someone else is the one who gets thrown into canon. So, I've decided to write this challenge...

Challenge

  • Happens at the beginning of OotP, in the summer before Fifth Year. After that, you're free to "stick to canon", or make up your own plot for that year.
  • The "other dimension" has to be different than canon, "more positive", but not insanely different. Harry might not be the Boy-Who-Lived, but things like Tom M. Riddle being a "cheerful Minister of Magic" cannot be possible.
  • Other!Snape and Other!Harry are not related by blood, but they are father and son (by adoption).
  • The dimension traveler wants to "fix" Snape and Harry's relationship by helping them understand each other.
Suggestions

I lifted the "obligation" that the dimension traveler be Lily, but I strongly suggest it. You get to chose it, though. It could even be James Potter.

You can bring up the Dursleys.

Restrictions
  • No Snape in a slash relationship.
  • No Snape with a student relationship.
  • The dimension traveler has to be a canon character who is currently dead in the timeframe where the story takes place.
  • No overly nice canon!Snape.
  • No overly timid canon!Harry. (Especially if this takes place in OotP.)
  • No overly abusive Dursleys. Neglect, isolation, and deprivation of food only. No beatings or rape.

Categories: Enemy, Father, Guardian, Teacher, Keepers of the Snitch Characters: Snape and Harry (required), Bill, Charlie, Dumbledore, Fred George, Ginny, Hagrid, Hedwig, Hermione, James, Lily, McGonagall, Arthur, Molly, Other, Petunia, Remus, Ron, Shacklebolt, Sirius, Tonks, Voldemort, Wormtail

Summary: The Dr. Seuss Challenge

If you've good solid instincts for rhythm and rhyme,
MS Office, a modem, and plenty of time,
Here's a challenge that's easy! The rules are quite loose.
Simply tell us a story . . . just like Dr. Seuss.

Hey, it's fanfic; the setting and players we've got.
Choose an angle and scare up a bunny for plot.
Are they Comrades, or Brothers? Friends having a chat?
(Just make sure there's no slash . . . and no mpreg, at that).

See, the sky is the limit! It's all up to you!
Could be Father, Apprentice, and Enemy, too!
But while challenges offer a framework or shell,
It's for you to decide just which story to tell.

Categories: Enemy, Apprentice, Brothers, Canon, Comrades, Father, Guardian, Mentor, Reverse, Teacher, Misc, Severus Centric, Keepers of the Snitch, Fic Fests Characters: Snape and Harry (required)
