I won't have much time until Wednesday, but I'm just poking my head out to wish a very Happy Birthday to samantha_vimes! I know you said you've had some unfortunate birthdays in the past, but I hope this one is perfect ( Read more... )

Oh, that is so beautiful and poetic. A splendid gift indeed!

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I hope your birthday is a lovely one.

Aww, that was loverly! Yay for Aurora finally making a move! I love the imagery of the red roses against the snow. Lucky for our birthday gal. =D

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think Aurora's going to be very glad she made her move when she did--probably they both will be!

>he worried that perhaps the frost went all the way down to the core of him.

:D Great minds think alike! Or maybe it's the weather that's causing the Snape/ice metaphor thing?

Lovely story.. it makes me want to put on some hot chocolate and curl up with the rest of it!

:D You know, when I clicked on your latest installment and saw the man chipping away at all that ice, I had exactly the same thought! Possibly it's the weather (it's been snowing almost every day), but I think I really do see Snape as frozen and in need of a good thaw. That's why I was all excited about that dream sequence!

Lovely story.. it makes me want to put on some hot chocolate and curl up with the rest of it!

Aww, thanks! That's sweet. (No pun intended.) I'd never written this pair before, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

How sweet!

feeling the sharp, fragile bones beneath all his layers.

You'll convince me that he really is fragile...I almost sniffled!

Thank you! I'm so pleased you like that description, because I was especially happy with it. There's something fragile about him; it's just very well-hidden.

Severus Snape=pouty pants! I hope she talks him out of it!

He is being rather pouty here, but he's also depressed and feels awkward and unwanted. I picture this as taking place post-DH, where he's not quite sure how (or if) he fits into a postwar world.

But Sinistra gets that, and she won't let him wallow. ;-) Actually, there's a little continuation of it in this set, towards the end. I wrote it for another Christmas Card!
