No Harry torture! (Unless either Severus or Draco is there to make him feel better afterwards. Or Neville.)
OOC characterizations ... romanticizing evil/dark/sadistic bastards ... Er, um. ::hides romantic-hero!Snape behind chair:: How could they?!?
Seriously, I have no sympathy for the "well, he's got the same name as (fill in the evil/dark/sadistic bastard of choice), but he seems a fluffy bunny to me" OOC stuff. On the other hand, I'm willing to accept -- even embrace -- a wide spectrum of interpretations of a character.
>>Harry/Lucius, I think, is a specific non-connish(? often, anyway) type kink which might be what lets it coexist with the person's 'normal' empathy towards Harry<<
Ah yes. If I'm understanding you correctly, then I agree. In fact, I was trying to figure out how to phrase that concept in my previous comment and just couldn't get it to work.
