The Road Not Taken Chapter 36

Scene from Kellydofc's MASTERPIECE of an AU fanfiction (seriously: it's BETTER than canon!) located here: [link] Please bear with me, I scribbled this at 1am last night as a joke, but I was rather impressed with how it turned out, in spite of the crudeness.

I will not post spoilers for those who haven't read this -- and shame on you for not reading it yet, as I am not even much of a fanfiction reader myself. But there is a scene where Severus stupidly kicks something out of frustration, breaks his ankle, and forgets the bone-mending spell. It's actually quite a hilarious scenario. Poor Sev!

"He gave a sigh and threw the book on the floor. He thought that he would go mental if he had to spend much longer laying here."

I took a bit of creative liberty as far as his reading material. Kellydofc had him reading The History of the Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire which is a great choice for someone whose named after a Roman emperor and has little else to do but read hundreds of thousands of pages. But I figured an issue of National Geographic would also pique his interests. And I'm sure the Evans have volumes of it lying around.
