This is such an awesome ramble that, if it were possible, I'd fangirl you even more now than I did already. I've always had a soft spot for backstory-exploring gen, and it often surprises me how little there is in fandom. And I feel like you about the extreme focus on pairings. There is so much else in life, and there is so much more to liberation than sex. (Of course sex is part of it, not to be misunderstood, but yeah ... I've come to prefer fests where you've got a chance of at least a decent percentage of gen -- which can also contain couples and sex, of course, but with a focus on something else.)
Whilst I agree with you about Severus and Minerva than canon doesn't completely preclude the relationship, I must say that there is also a premise under which I could imagine a past Minerva/Sybill. In fact, I the second I read it, a storyline formed in my mind. I'll safely stow it away (take your pick whether that should be for future reference or so I'll never see it again. *g*)
