THE OPEN "WE WERE GOING TO RP THAT, REMEMBER?" POST

SO, BASICALLY. If we have ever discussed plotting a PSL or doing a thread but haven't gotten around to doing it,
WELL, NOW WE CAN.

Either comment with a rundown of said plot we'd talked about, or post a starting thread to said plot.

ALSO OPEN TO ANYONE WHO JUST WANTS TO THROW THEIR MUSE AT SNAPE (or Remus, if you'd prefer Remus).
Just leave either a prompt, a thread suggestion, or a thread starter.

When she felt his grip tighten, there was a brief moment where concerned pushed its way into the back of her mind and she heavily pondered the possibility of pushing him away. But sooner than she could act, he'd let go and she reached up with her own hand to press against the skin of her throat, rubbing circles over where his fingers had set.

"Am I lying?" She rolled back onto her back, her head tilted back on her pillow, exposing her neck, her chest, all the way down to her waist where the fabric of the bedsheets had began to pool. "You're making a bigger deal out of this than it necessarily needs to be," she commented, closing her eyes. "We might as well obliviate one or the other to spare you the misery."

Severus glanced over his shoulder at Bellatrix. He shouldn't have. The sight of her laid back, wild and messy hair askew on the pillow, throat exposed, breasts bare and arched up, nipples swirled tight, was truly a sight to behold. It was not unlike how she looked last night, pinned underneath him. He could feel his resolve starting to break again.

"I'm not making a deal out of anything. I'm clarifying the easiest approach. We pretend this never happened, things will be much simpler, for both of us."

Even as he said this, though, his eyes never stopped taking in the sight of her, and Severus unclasped a hand from around his knees to snag the bedsheet draped across her. He snapped it back with a sharp yank of his wrist, throwing the sheet back and exposing the rest of her nakedness. In one swift motion, he reached for his wand again, pushed himself around onto his knees, and he stretched up to lean over her.

"But," he said, his voice quieter, lower, pressing his wand up against the underside of her chin again, "I ought to make sure you don't obliviate me. I wouldn't put it past you to try."

"Things will be simpler for you," Bellatrix corrected, cracking one eyelid open to look back at him. By the time she did so, she'd reached up with one hand to tug lightly at strands of her own hair, succeeding only in making it look messier than it already did. Now that the initial shock had died down, so to speak, she seemed to be quickly regaining her (over-)confidence. In a way it was all quite cleverly played: as long as she could convincingly assert him that she was hardly bothered by the situation (which was likely a difficult task, both given the state he'd first found her in moments earlier and the fact that it was, well, him), she could try and convince herself that this wouldn't come back to haunt her.

She'd only just closed her eyes again when the feeling of the bedsheet being yanked away startled her and she looked back at him, a bit wider-eyed than she'd intended--
-- and just like that, there it was; his wand again, threatening. As if she'd allow him as much.

"Now why would I do that?" There was a hint of mirth there, halfway through the question, accented on the why.

"I'd rather you were reminded of it," She was taunting him, it was clear not just from his tone but from her body language - the way she shifted under his gaze, purposefully slower, just to lift her head up to regard him better. She was taunting him because she could, because in her own way, she wanted to see him squirm. "Each and every time you look at me. When that's all you can ever dream of doing, should poor, dear Rodolphus suspect your intentions."

Terrible. She could be so.
