Summary of the fic
Severus Snape has never been one for romance. A brooding, grey character with a knack for playing tortured souls on the brink of despair, he’s built a career around the art of being miserable. Romance movies? A complete waste of time. "Hallucinatory drivel" at best, according to Snape, who’d rather poke his eyes out than star in a love story. Enter Where Did We Go Wrong, a gay romcom that somehow—has Snape agreeing to be the leading man. Why? Nobody knows. Not even Snape himself.
Enter Sirius Black, the “King of Romance” who could make a broomstick look like a love interest, is the polar opposite. Charming, effortlessly swoon-worthy, with chemistry that could set fire to a popsicle stick, Sirius is the Hollywood heartthrob who can make even a tree look like a soulmate. He lives for romance, adores it, makes it sing. So when he’s paired with Snape—the man who scoffs at the very concept of love—Sirius is... well, let’s just say confused.
From day one, it’s an absolute disaster. Snape calls the script “a self-indulgent piece of drivel,” while Sirius pours his heart into every scene, only to be met with Snape’s cold, sarcastic sneers. The chemistry? Nonexistent. The tension? Off the charts. And not in the “will-they-or-won’t-they” way—more like “will-they-burn-the-set-down-with-all-their-awkwardness” way. Fans are losing their minds on social media, the tabloids are having a field day, and the internet is divided: Is this the worst casting decision in Hollywood history or is it the most brilliant comedy ever? Where Did We Go Wrong? is a wild, comedic, and tragic ride through the unexpected romance of Severus Snape and Sirius Black.
But here’s the real kicker: Why did Snape agree to do this in the first place? What possessed him? Was it the paycheck? Was he just bored? Or is there something deeper going on here?
Where did we go wrong?follows the story of Ethan ( Sirius ), a razor-sharp and emotionally distant professor, who accidentally crosses paths with his charismatic ex-boyfriend Caleb ( snape ) at a bustling New York City gallery opening. Their reunion begins with politeness but quickly spirals into an evening of soul-baring revelations and simmering tension.
As the two sit down to dissect what went wrong in their whirlwind romance, the film flashes back to their unforgettable highs—their stolen nights of laughter, passion, and intimacy—and their devastating lows: misunderstandings, insecurities, and the quiet unraveling of love under the weight of their own flaws.Through their conversation, audiences are drawn into the complexities of relationships and the multifaceted nature of heartbreak. Are Ethan’s walls too high to climb again? Has Caleb’s charm worn thin, or does it still hold the power to ignite the fire they once shared?
On screen, Snape plays a suave seducer, oozing charisma and charm, while Sirius takes on the role of a stoic, emotionally distant professor—a stark contrast to his real-life personality. The dynamic between these two couldn't be more different. Snape’s character is a smooth-talking, heartthrob who seduces everyone in sight, while Sirius’s character is a guarded academic who has zero interest in romance.Off-screen, however, things are chaotic. Snape, the real-life grumpy loner, barely tolerates his cheerful co-star, while Sirius, ever the optimist, tries—and fails—to get through to Snape, who scoffs at every romantic scene. Their interactions are a masterclass in awkwardness, with fans tuning in just to see how much more uncomfortable it can get.
But just when the world starts to think this movie is the punchline to a joke, Snape pulls off the impossible: he’s charming. Actually charming. The chemistry that fans thought was completely fake starts to feel... real. And then comes the kiss. It’s so unexpectedly perfect, even they can’t deny it. Now, they’re stuck in the eye of a media storm, and the question remains: Is this just another Hollywood gimmick, or has real romance begun to bloom between two of the most unlikely people?
Filled with hilarious misunderstandings, fiery arguments, and slow-burn romance, Where Did We Go Wrong? takes audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s equal parts comedy, drama, and pure gossip gold. So, grab your popcorn—this is one romance you won’t be able to stop watching, no matter how much they insist it’s “just acting.”
