New Harry Potter/Ratatouille story: "Appetite"

[resonant]

... and yes, I'm serious about that crossover. This is for the cliche_bingo square "Unmixy things: weird crossovers."


Appetite
Snape (sort of; it's complicated)/Horst -- NC-17 -- 2,700 words
Snape's happy ending requires him to start again in another story.
Warnings, if any (highlight to read): Um, cartoon characters having sex? No particular warning.

Just exquisite! What an ironically apt next life for Snape!

I've never seen Ratatouille, but I did see stills of Anton Ego and immediately thought of Snape, so this was a pure delight to read!

It's the voice, really, that made me see them as the same person. Ego is voiced by Peter O'Toole, who sounds a lot like Alan Rickman. (This is why a while back I was looking for a six-degrees way of getting O'Toole hooked up with someone from the HP universe -- but I chose reincarnation as a simpler method.)

Peter O'Toole rocks old school.

I rented Ratatouille and just finished watching it tonight, solely on the strength of the recommendation provided by your story.

I have emerged from the experience even more convinced of the beauty of Anton Ego as the perfect next life for Snape, right down to his coffin-shaped room, his skull-faced manual typewriter, and his razor-edged smirk.

Of course, I adore your wonderfully original crossover all the more.
