Wonderful!!

Please write more of this!!! That was an interesting ritual, and I have never heard of any Pagan rite that uses sex and blood magic to mark the winter solstice. I just did a simple ritual myself, tonight as it happens, but I did like the way they felt the magic together!

[celandineb]

The rite, it must be said, is wholly invented for the purpose of this fic... I didn't know of any that invoked quite the mood that I needed to have here. It's a darker kind of magic than most of what JKR describes, without being actually DARK, if you know what I mean. I haven't really figured out all its dimensions, so I don't know if there will be more sometime or not.

Very glad you liked it! *g*

Oh Cel, I love it.
Yes, they would be good working together, once Severus allowed it to happen, that is. Yay to Hermione for saving them, and to Tonks for realizing the truth (that Remus and Severus need to be together). :) And Molly brought soup. How perfect! *g*

[celandineb]

*g* I love putting in cameos like that; I may write mostly slash but that doesn't mean I don't like the female characters too. Thank you so much!

Severus as a cranky patient is always great fun and I loved the ritual :)

[celandineb]

Thanks! Severus absolutely hates dependency, the grumpy bastard. Glad you liked the ritual, that was interesting to try to work out.

Oh, I liked this very much! Great h/c, and a great fic. I liked the dialogue a lot, and I always adore fics that explore the business side of the wizarding world. Yum!

[celandineb]

Glad you enjoyed it! More h/c than I usually do but that was just how it worked out. I like the business side of the wizarding world too; that's not something JKR has done a whole lot with and it's fascinating.

Eeeeeee! You were writing for me?! *giggles* Thank you so much, not least for giving yourself my assignment! :)

This is so lovely! I love drabble series; they can say so much in so few words, with each segment slowly building. You've done a wonderful job here! Both Snape and Lupin's voices are so accurate, little bits of dialogue that just sum them up perfectly. And the way they slowly move closer together, recovering from the war together... Yay!

And oooooooooh the sex magic was so beautiful. Drabble!sex is so, so hot to me, because it's done is so few words. You really chose the exact right words to make an impact. God, the naked kneeling before the blade, the legs over Snape's shoulders, all just so gorgeous. *happy shiver*

What a great present! Thank you so much for it. ♥

[celandineb]

I was! *vbg* That's how the assignments worked out, really, once I decided I probably ought not to write for the same person two years running.

Initially I tried writing it as a regular story, but it was going to be WAY too long for this fest if I did, so the drabble series approach came to mind... and making it an acrostic (look at the first letter of each individual drabble) made it an extra fun personal challenge.

So glad you liked the sex magic! That's something I haven't done before, and I tried to make it rather dark in hopes that would suit your taste. *g* (I imagine it could be a rite carried out in a het context, too, but obviously not with these two...)

You're very, very welcome! {{hugs}} *mwah*
