Minerva watches Severus. She sees through a glass, darkly.

First written for the wonderful 2012 Minerva Fest on LiveJournal.

The prompt was: Minerva is a watcher. She watches out for her students. She watches her world collapse, unable to do more than pick up its pieces wherever she can. She also watches Severus Snape. Kinks: Questions of desire/obsession, the power and powerlessness of the watcher, moral integrity, the allure of the dark/forbidden, exploration of depths and darknesses of one’s own.
