Fic Rec - The Werewolf and His Lover [PG13]
Title: The Werewolf and His Lover
Gaining Access: open to the public @ Snupin Santa
Author: a remarkable elf
Length/Word Count: 5,072
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Severus Snape
Rating: PG13
Original Summary: Many years ago there was a ghost and a portrait who fell in love.
Genre: Drama/Angst
Warnings: see Genre
Why everyone should read this: This is the purest form of romance, much like that of which the troubadours sang in the medieval courts. It looks deeper behind the love a Portrait has for a Ghost, and it brought tears to my eyes with its gentle treatment.
I am not a fan of angst, but this story gripped me from the start and I had to read it to the end, such was the depth of emotion within this love story. I was reminded of the great romances-Wuthering Heights and Rebecca-and how my heart hurt for the lovers. This isn't a bad thing; the love of the main characters is so very evident, so blazingly bright, so alive.
Excerpt: Sometimes the only gift you can give someone is knowing when to stop talking. That’s not necessarily a tragic thing. Silence has let me cherish happiness in some dark places. There’s an infinite supply of happiness in the world if you just remember the secret behind happy stories.
