A Potions accident makes professor and student incapable of keeping their hands off each other – literally. Very loosely based on the WIKTT Bound Challenge.

26 years old, avid HP fan, live in a pretty rainy country. My favourite writer is George Orwell, which should be taken as a warning by anyone looking for pink fluff. I do not like pink fluff.
I used to be a hard core SS/HG shipper. Then came Dracontia and completely blew my mind with her HP/DM stories. And once I started reading slash, there was just no going back. I still enjoy a well-written SS/HG (or any pairing, really), but the current passion is pretty boy-on-boy action. :-) Any pairing, more or less, I'm not that picky (except for SS/HP, that really creeps me out for some reason.)
I'm also an avid Bandom fan (P!atD). Those fics can be found on my LJ if you want to explore the waters outside the HP realm one day.
2008-12-08: Today, I abandoned hope of finishing my SS/HG WIPs "Shades of Grey" and "Les innocents." I'm very sad about letting go, but I feel it was the right thing to do. (More details in the A/Ns of each story if you're interested).

Thank you so much for the update! I am a bit mad at Severus for putting all the blame on Hermione and treating her the way he does. At some level he had deserved to see her walk away when the "sticky situation" is over, knowing that he had lost his chance of exploring their feelings for eachother. But, I am a sucker for happy endings in my HG/SS stories and since there is only one chapter left, I guess the drama must be tuned down a bit:-))) Don't make Hermione cheap though when throwing her into Severus arms, some level of self resepct and self protection would be appriciated:-) Especially after the Rita Skeeter articel where not only the bug have laid the ground works for making Hermione riddiculed by the other students. I must say I was really, really annoyed at him for putting the blame on Hermione for that article when it plain said that Pancy was the one behind. I guess what happens next with regards to the treatment his precious Slytherins will subject her too, will determine if I actually want a "happy" ending for him. If he continue to chose who to cuddle by wich house they belong to, in stead of what is rigth or wrong or who is to blame, then maybe Hermione should take that as a sign on what loyalty she can expect from Severus if they develop a relationship and then chose if that is the kind of man she would like to spend time with. Then again, if her feelings are just sexual attraction, she could use him to "scratch the itch", and don't mind what he otherwhise says or doesI look forward for the next chatper, I hope my happy ending is there:-))

Thank you for the imput! In my mind, Snape doesn't actually blame Hermione for anything, but he takes out his frustration on her and lashes out because she's getting under his skin. He doesn't like his control slipping and he's had too many years of practice in being spiteful to deal with the matter in a tactful way. Since this is a short PWP, I don't go into the matter too much here, but if you find "my" Snape intriguing, I go in pretty deep with "Ten Things I Hate About You" (archived at Ashwinder).
Anyway, thanks for reviewing! I hope you'll like the ending as well.

He smiled?! Does that mean Hermione still have a chance? Oooh!! *squels* You know what, I bet Severus planned that shower part. Or maybe he didn't planned it, but he *knows* Hermione was able to see part of him (the delicious one too!!) through the shower glass and then only his wicked thought came out. Or, or... he didn't planned it, but while Hermione get to see his part, she didn't realise that *he* can see *her* part! *That's* when he gets his wicked thoughts! Heh heh.
Whatever it is, this is so funny and hilarious, I'd risked having my colleague looking at me weirdly. So what? Haven't they heard of fanfiction before? Heh heh.
Looking forward for the update now!! :)

Thank you! I guess no one will ever be able to prove exactly what Snape's motivations might have been with that shower :-)

Gah! Rita really knows how to ruin things. *fumes a bit*
And magic really is a very handy thing sometimes! Even if it doesn't always work perfectly ... or especially when it doesn't. :-D

This story still gives me the giggles...but I love it. I can't wait for the last chapter!
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Thank you! Good to know that I'm actually capable of being funny for more than one chapter :-) (seriously, it's hard. All my stories start out with the goal of being funny and then plummet into drama and/or angst. Oh well)

That was very interesting! I'm glad you put in some of their day-to-day lives, but I would still love to read some more, like how they dress and do other stuff.
You're really doing a good job on capturing their emotions (in my opinion) and I look forward very much to the next chapter!

Thanks! I figured that since they have magic, they conjure or levitate their clothes on.

Another great update... and stupid Rita! I really hate her. I hope she gets squashed.
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
I think Rita is way too much fun to write for any writer to actually squash her :-) But there is a certain kind of reading satisfaction every time she gets put down in some way. :-)

Interesting the he blames her for the kiss he initiates. Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

I love that saying. It really is too true. :-)

Such a wonderful start! I've always liked this challenge and I'm very much looking forward to seeing how it's going to be handled in this story.
I like Hermione's honesty - about knowing full well who it was but not realising it wasn't a dream. Hehe!

i think i read this somewhere else, but can't recall if i reviewed it. what a great start! poor hermione - how embarassing to be caught with her hand practically in severus's cookie jar, so to speak. it will be fun to watch how they adjust to dealing with all aspects of life while stuck together. i'm glad to see you have more in the queue - i can't wait for the next!
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Bathroom will be a bit awkward as you might have guessed. I think it's a three day delay between chapters so the second one should be up soon. Thanks for reading!

That was great! It seems like it's going to be a really good story, and I can't wait for the next chapter!
I think they're gonna have to call a truce, though, otherwise they'll both go mad (madder) trying to live life at least semi-normally.
Great job so far!

I am really looking forward to the rest of this story, I had to giggle away to myself everyso often while reading it - has the makings of a gem me thinks!! Can't wait for the next installment.....mmmmm I wonder why Snape was in a hurry to get into the bathroom at the end ??? !!!! ha ha ha!!

Uh.... I like that challenge.I like it that he is completely unabashed. I can already see him undressing and stepping under the shower as if nothing is amiss, while Hermione is totally stunned.Please add some more details about how they deal with the more intimate parts of life. I can't picture Hermione simply dropping her pants and having a pee, when she's watched by her prof.
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Chapter two has a shower scene...I like Snape unabashed too. :-)

I have read this before, but it was a joy to read all over again anyway:-) I hope the next chapter will be submitted soon? I really like this plot:-))
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Thanks. Chapter 2 is in the queue, number 3 in line as of now. Things seem to move a bit faster here than at Ashwinder (it's been in the queue there for 2,5 weeks now :-( ) so hopefully it'll be available in the next couple of days.

*snickers* Pixie wrestling? Just how does one Pixie wrestle?
I loved this opening! I can't wait for the next chapters. great start.
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Well, the key is to get hold of the wings, I think. It's a very athletic sport seing as they are so small (and the teeth, let's not forget the teeth!). It could be compared to taking on the killer rabbit, (Quest For the Holy Grail) though Pixie wrestling is generally less deadly. (For more info and dates for upcoming events, see www.punchapixie.com)

I'd like to Severus take on the Killer Rabbit. I'm not sure who would come out on top though...

Of course the reason she still attends Potions class is to ogle her professor! I'm loving it. I can't wait for more.

LOL - loved this chapter. Both of them getting it on in their sleep ony to wake up and realize that it was not a dream. Tears - it was good.

Dreaming can be tricky, what can I say? Glad you liked. Thanks for reading.

Fun way to start. Feels like it will be a fast moving story. I can't imagine they will put up with eachother too long before calling a truce. I look forward to your next chapter. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from RedOrchid (Author of A Sticky Situation)
Well, I would be lying if I said that this story will display a long courtship along the lines of "Pride and Prejudice". *smirk*
Glad you liked. Thanks for reviewing!

Thanks. It's a real challenge for me to write a funny, light-hearted story. I tend to fall into angst and drama no matter what I set out to write. So far so good though. :-)

Your snarky portrayal of Snape made me smile. You manage to find the humor while keeping them in character and not turning them fluffy.
