Scribosaurus Recs! - Harry Potter (Arthur/Molly Weasley)
Behind Closed, Locked, and Soundproofed Doors by Anguis
"Arthur Weasley was rarely seen kissing his wife." Not all romances are conducted in front of the camera.
(Arthur/Molly)
Rec!view: Aw, this one is a perfect example of how to write the Weasley parents properly. They’re more than mere caricatures, and the deep love they feel for each other, even after years of marriage and so many kids, and all the troubles and worries those things bring, strikes a chord in even the hardest heart. Well-written and utterly charming, this is one that left me smiling.
Excerpt:
Other, more intimate acquaintances smiled patronizingly and talked about a love that fit like a well-worn slipper and had transcended the base physicality of youthful lust. They spoke of his devotion to his family, his unflappable demeanour in the face of his fiery-tempered wife or their explosion-mad twin sons, and his fervent dedication to justice. And though it perched vulture-like upon their hearts, they didn't whisper a word about the strain of tension-tattered nerves and fatigue-stricken limbs that grew like thorn bushes between them and their own lovers.
