SHORT - Lox and Gre (HP/SS)
Usually, I'm not much of a smut-writer, but...you know how sometimes you just read fics and love them so much and want more so much that you want to go ahead and write it yourself? Well, maybe you don't, but that's what this is. It's a mini-sequel to "Idle Hands" by Nimori, and I don't think you need the one to understand the other, but man, if

... goddamn it, woman. I had lost my soul to 'Idle Hands' the moment I first read it, and have re-read it almost nightly, if not weekly, since then. I'm a sick, sick puppy--and I begged Nimori shamelessly for a sequel, but she said it was unlikely, and I was aching with the need for one, and then you--*gulps*--then you go and--give me--EXACTLY what I wanted--and--damn you--
...
... Er.
*cough* I can't say how grateful I am for this. Really, I can't. This fulfills every fantasy of mine, and unfolds like a glittering tapestry of some come-strewn paradise, exactly as angry and vicious and lovely as it deserves to be, and I can scarcely believe that I've come across a wet dream of mine written so exquisitely. You take Nimori's concept, her sharp edges and clean minimalism, and you make them rich with your own brand of lyricism--that trademark poetry you manage to inject into every phrase, such as: Severus almost can’t tell any ( ... )

It was my goal to explore how the dynamic would have to change over time, assuming they kept up their, er, association. So I'm glad you picked up on the struggle and the shift in power.
Thanks for hosting the community! I doubt I'd have considered posting this otherwise.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE REC! <3333333

I must say though, even though the smut was truly magnificent, it's your sentence structure and word choices that hit me the most:
...skin still shiny in places with dragon scorch marks...
evokes crystal-clear imagery, so much so that the mental movie I had running while I was reading this kept that detail front and centre, which is saying something, considering that these things don't normally stick with me. Also:
...if innocence is assaulted for long enough, it crumbles irreparably.
is probably one of the most impactful lines I've read in quite a while. I don't know why, but I got goosebumps there.
So, congratulations - hot smut and evocative writing, there's a reason I love your work. :)

Ooh, ooh! I like writing little throwaway details that stick with people. For me, when I write, I mean, I'm relying on them to tell part of the story, so when they make an impression, I feel that my job is done!
:D

Well, your job is definitely done. :) As I said, tiny details don't normally stick with me - in favour of the whole picture, I mean - but that was a perfect little addition to the description.
