    Summary

    The first time he sees her, she is sifting handfuls of dirt into her pockets.

    As the green light rings out the dirt drifts between deft fingers, earth weighed up in the palm like a considering divination. Pebbles roll over fingertips, and in a final decision, slip into an abyss of cotton to be buried.

    How odd.

    ———
    When the Frontman decided to go into the games as Young-il, he thought his biggest obstacle would naturally be Seong Gi-hun. But where 001 is the foil to 465, 088 is the hidden wrench in his plans. He did not account for that.

    He did not account for her at all.

    Player 088 San Nilar follows a doctrine of three: protect her brother, die here over living out there, and never turning back. Simple, unattached, and focused.

    Safe to say, she did not account for 001 either, nor just how deeply he'd want to sink his hooks into her.

    Summary

    ***I encourage those who usually don't read teachers/students to give this a chance. There are no instances in which there are taboo power dynamics, at least of a sexual nature. Heed the slow burn quite literally. A smoldering if you will.

    After catching Y/N breaking the rules, Severus Snape sees the layers of the quiet student's personality peel before his eyes. The more he sees, the more intrigued he becomes as he indulges in the growing connection that exposes him to a world he thought he once knew and the peace he'd always been yearning for.

    ---

    Takes place in the 90's like the movies (I'd like to think 1996 or 1997), but some character time-canon things are tweaked, so it's not strictly canon-compliant (Draco is not at Hogwarts yet/Weasley twins are in their third year). I write her being 20-21 in mind, but feel free to self-insert a different age. Reader is a 7th-year student who transferred in her 5th year. Snape being Draco's godfather fanon trope included. Malfoy family is a little OOC (not blood supremacists.)

    I love her. A Snow White-esqe badass princess with trauma that makes sense
