Like many proud alumni of the honorable Hufflepuff House, ApollinaV is a rabbid Huffle-hugger, champion pear-tickler, and founding member of Cleansweep-Streakers Guild (the AV-Eyeful is so named in her honor). Since graduating Hogwarts, she done 'responsible' and 'professional' things - and resolves not to do that anymore. Dreadful amounts of paperwork.

Cute, a bedbug helping to save a lost soul.

Fabulous - a bedbug for advise.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Hey, they give me the prompts, I write 'em.  I think the person who prompted that wanted it set in the fic The Gilded Cage though, but sadly, that couldn't happen.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  AV

snapey gets a bedbug!  oh, the horror!  great stuff and quite poinient.  thanks so much

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

No, thank you, kimjo.  And while I'm sure Azkaban is full of them, a head-knocking cold-hard-truth voice of conscience is what he should get.  But then I always advocate that an Azkaban Snape get out and take up with Hermione.  Thanks! AV

Good portrait of Severus.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Thank you, I appreciate that.  It was an excellent prompt. AV

Hey AV! Who knew a bedbug could be so wise! Thanks for the enlightening tale. Much Love ~ Brena.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Thank you Brena.  I was prompted to write an enlightening conversation, and this just seemed right.  I think it's the hardest truth that he has.  As always, I appreciate your encouragement.  Thank you.  AV

Bedbug or cricket, whatever it takes to get Severus and Hermione together.  Nicely done!

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Thanks.  Sev didn't quite rate a cricket.  I was prompted with bedbug, and that seemed about right.  He always draws the short stick.  All the best, AV

Who knew it would take a bedbug to get Severus to see sense? Cool!

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Indeed.  The conscience is such a damned thing.  At least it didn't sing to him.  Thank you m'dear.  AV

BRAVO! This was a wonderful take on the prompt.  

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Thank you.  It was an excellent prompt.  And really, Severus needs to get out and live.  AV

You know, that could be a fantastic first chapter, would you decide to deepen the plot. Sev and his conscience arguing are too much fun and I'd love too read some more.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Oooh no, no, no.  I am DONE with Severus in Azkaban stories.  My epic MLC The Gilded Cage has just finally seen Severus released from prison at 160,000 words, and I only have 10 more chapters yet to go.  If you want to take a crack at that, it's all yours babe.  But I am done writing Azkaban.  If I hadn't been prompted directly, by name, I would have walked away from it.  Thanks though love, I appreciate the vote of confidence.  AV

Response from snitchette (Reviewer)

Thanks for the little info concerning TGC. That's a fic I enjoy a lot.

I can see Snape picking up his shoe and squash that bedbug ;-)

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

It's a figment of his imagination... He'd better whack himself upside his head.  Several times.  Maybe then he'd wake up and realize life is for living.  Thanks love!  AV

Oh, what a great conscience!  He's just the thing to wake Severus up.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Absolutely.  Sunny asked for an 'enlightening' conversation, and I whole-heartedly believe that squandering potential and time on this planet is the worst we can do.  I hope SS now runs out and seizes the day.  AV

I hope he gets released so he can make a life--possibly with Hermione. Nice take on the bedbug prompt.

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Indeed!  Thanks luv.  Wisdom of the ages as delivered by a bedbug.  Sunny's prompt was a winner.  And I had to add Hermione at the end, because everything's better with a little SSHG thrown in.  AV

Response from luvsev (Reviewer)

You're right, SSHG makes everything better, including my day.

By Jiminy bedbug!  Brilliant! :)

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Thank you m'dear, I appreciate that.  A story is often only as good as it's prompt and this one was a winner.  All the best, AV

From the mouths of bedbugs ...

Response from ApollinaV (Author of Sleep Tight)

Absolutely.  Hopefully Severus got some sense smacked into him and will carpe the diem.  AV
