Bring Back the Bastard Daily Prompts
Hello, folks! I’m posting these two weeks before we begin our fest, on September 1st, to give folks some inspiration on what to write each day as we celebrate Severus Snape’s pettiest, most dastardly moments. I specifically picked out moments Snaters always harp on, that Snapedom personally enjoys–from any moment with Trevor to bitching at Lupin at Sirius, to the moments that Lily turns away and Dumbledore’s face flashes with disgust–sure, he’s a bastard, but he’s our bastard, and that’s what we like about him. You don’t want him? Good. We’ll keep him.
Here are 30 scene prompts for 30 days–it’s a long list, pulled chronologically from all seven books, but I found that it reminded me of everything I love about this character. The moments where he’s called deranged, the moments where he slips into all-caps, the ugliest moments of the soul.
Hope yall enjoy. Excited to kick off the fest starting September 1st, and absolutely excited to see what Snapedom will do. Let’s Bring Back the Bastard!
The prompts are below the readmore.The prompts are live! 30 scenes for 30 days, starting September 1st!

Bring Back the Bastard Day 18: If You Are Ready…If You Are Prepared…
“Severus,” said Dumbledore, turning to Snape, “you know what I must ask you to do. If you are ready…if you are prepared…”
“I am,” said Snape. He looked slightly paler than usual, and his cold, black eyes glittered strangely.
“Then good luck,” said Dumbledore, and he watched, with a trace of apprehension on his face, as Snape swept wordlessly after Sirius.
Two Hours Late
Severus Snape answers Voldemort’s call at the graveyard, two hours late. How does he manage it, how does he convince the most accomplished Legilimens the world has ever seen?
