Birthday Fic #22: "Earliest Memory" (Snape/Lupin, R)

[florahart]

Title: Earliest Memory
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: R for nakedness, I reckon
Words: 900
Warning for sap, perhaps.
A/N: This is the twenty-second of the birthday ficlets. Prompt from linnet_melody, Snape/Lupin, Mercury. I figure since I have now traumatized everyone forever with the last ficlet, I should go less alarming with this one, and be quickish about

Very nice and realistic look at their fledgling romantic relationship. Intimate, but neither man has yet lost all his wariness.

[florahart]

Thanks. :)

Wow. From slapstick beetle sex to poignant post-coital meanderings. Your range astonishes me, Flora.

[florahart]

Why yes, I did write both consecutively last night, too. :D Glad to entertain.

[snegurochka_lee]

Aw! *happy sigh* I love the post-coital discussing the ways of the world and opinions on things and histories and childhoods and such. What a lovely new-relationship moment. :)

[florahart]

:) Thanks.

Oooh, nice. I love how their language (especially Snape's) is so formal, but the conversation itself is so intimate.

[florahart]

Thanks. I figure Snape might require big words during cuddling because, you know, there's cuddling. :D

Hee! You put that so well. It should be quoted somewhere. Or written the Big Book of Snupin Fanon.

Snupin was exactly what I wanted tonight, and your voices for them are unsurpassed. Now when I look at that commissioned piece I have of 'Afterglow,' I'll always think that this follows after they've caught their breaths.

[florahart]

Hee! Yay for fic that matches art without actually setting out to do so. :D

You are so versatile in your characterizations, dear. That always strikes me when I read your work. I honestly don't know anyone else in this fandom who could write so many ficlets with such an array of characters, and give each one such a finely-tuned and IC "voice."

You have such range, mean to say.

*is admiring*

[florahart]

Aw, thanks. We do aim to please.
