As part of my Christmas present from amand_r, she commissioned art from veridian_dair, who did a beautiful couplet based on my story Starry Night. It's a scene that occurs near the end of the story, and she got it down perfectly.


Starry Night (art) by Veridian Dair


As part of that same gift, there was also jadzialove's Severus and the Doomsday Affair, which I've already rec-ed, as well as fic and art by iamisaac and chazpure, respectively. If they post those gifts they did for me, I'll be sure to link to them.

Title: Alone
Author: snegurochka_lee
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1250
Genre: Angst
Summary: Lupin was always shit at Legilimency; Snape never needed to fear that Lupin would breach his mind. That did not keep him from practicing daily, however, in order to be ready for the day Snape was certain was coming, the day Lupin would walk back into Snape's life and train those pleading eyes on him once more.

I'm not a big Snupin fan; about the only time I read it is when I see a writer I like (Lee) do it. Lee has this ability to describe things so you taste the grit of bitterness in your mouth and feel the raw emotions of her characters (I cried, I really did). The ficlet portrays a scene in Snape's life when he's feeling the weight of abandonment, how he imagines he'll address this betrayal in a future moment.

Per the author's note, this is a missing canon moment. It's a raw, realistic reflection that made me feel sorry for both of them; I know that most of my flist are Snarry folk, but don't pass this by and miss out.
