Fanfic! "My Dear Boy" LM/SS - PG

[erastes]

You know those "No More Fanfic" Rules I set myself?  Well... as rwday said to me today, don't feel guilty, they are more like guidelines, anyway. :)  But inner Lucius made me. How could he not, after that photo?

Letter from Lucius to Severus in early 1976 inspired by the delicious photo of Young Severus
For sinick whose inner Severus will always be "my dear boy" to my inner Lucius
Rating PG
(I'm not JKR and I'll try not to do it again.)

My Dearest Boy,

I woke earlier than I like this morning and could not get back to sleep. Perhaps it was the memory of our farewell and the way we left matters.

I don't understand you; the house is huge and you know I'd have you here in a heartbeat but you know how things are.   The London house is mine - so why shouldn't you use it? 

I know. I know. You made yourself very plain.  Infuriating to be bested by such a stubborn brat.   I accede to your wishes. As I always do, as I always will do.

With the morning post came a rather grubby letter delivered by a Hogwarts Owl.   Within – a photograph of you, scowling delightfully at the photographer.  I think I can guess who it was. I wish you would let me tell his mother. I could stop them – should you just say the word.

The envelope itself contained a rather unpleasant little hex that squirted a rather loathsome oil.   You can tell that vile group of simians that their stupid little prank failed miserably and that I am not now "as greasy as my boyfreind"  

Shame that they have not yet learned to spell.

Speaking of such -  you know what to do with this next section.

I miss you more than you realise, my own.  When you are here, and I mean here: on my lap, here in my arms, that's the only time that I feel whole. I feel no poetic connection to you when you leave.  There is no "thread from my heart to yours."   When you go we are severed. How ironic that is.  You have turned me from a man to a schoolboy, crossing off each empty day until the next holiday.

3 weeks, four days and 7 hours 26 minutes.  In case you were to test me.

I know my boy.  He scowls; he'd rather I did not write of love, that I am to him a decadent indolent Byron who mourns the loss of his Thyrza..   You take pleasure in my heart under your feet, I swear.  Perhaps you laugh at me – perhaps they all laugh at me, a little. Loving you, who loves me not enough to write back with one sweet word. Little serpent – you poisoned me with your pouts and your stiff necked pride.

I wish I'd taken one more kiss, for all your squirming. Just one more.

You will come to London for Easter?  If you won't write and tell me you love me, then just write and tell me that you'll meet me at the house. I would come to Hogsmeade if you were but to move your little finger but I know you well enough for that.   Come to London, Severus. A day, a week, a lifetime. Just come.

As for them, I enclose a little something that might come in useful. They seem ordinary quills, and should Apollyn examine them, that's all they will appear to be.  Don't let Dear Minerva get them first, though. Put them in the hands of your tormenters and don't sit near them in class.  They are primed to ... well, perhaps I shouldn't tell you that, what you don't know, you can't tell, but I know my boy well enough that he'll pry their secret out before Easter.

One day I'll tell you who I got them from.  He's clever, like you.

Oh well, Father calls and the day begins.  I kiss the page, Severus. Come to London.

Yours. Entirely.

Lucius.

Having never read your fanfic, I find this really sweet. Very well drawn. You know the characters very, very well and deliver them over in a totally believeable fashion.

Kudos.

Thank you very much! I spent a lot of time in his head, writing fic, and years of Role Play and I had some great Severuses (Severi?) to play against. I've been accused of making him too tender, but as gehayi just said to me, he's just a man who's deeply deeply in love with a boy, it doesn't redeem him, or make him a nice person. I have a lot to thank JKR for, really. I wouldn't be writing without Lucius.

*G*

Oh... yes! I've missed your LM/SS fanfictions. :)

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you. That picture was so delicious I couldn't keep Lucius silent.

If only I could find ONE picture of Lucius and young Severus together on set, I would die happy.

Such a delight to read.

Aw -- you are kind. Thank you

Hee!

::SIGH::

Thank you darling. Lucius does too. He's all mooning and languid. He loves his Severus.

[kethlenda.livejournal.com]

I like! Lucius's love really comes through the words. Good job.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you hun. It was lovely to revisit them again. *pets them*

[lovefromgirl.livejournal.com]

Very sweet, and that is a clever touch, the invisible ink in the middle...

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And I hope that it stays unreadable or that Severus doesn't keep Lucius letters tied with a black or green ribbon...

Although it would be nice to think that he did.

*sniffs*

Glad you liked!

Ooh, lovely (as always from you!). I saw that pic of young Snape, and fell in love with his hands, instantly. Just ... guh. And One day I'll tell you who I got them from. He's clever, like you. - marvellous bit of foreshadowing!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

And McSnape is EXACTLY like that - although a few years older. With incredible hands, long and slim, with beautiful long nails.

I'm thinking there must be a Snape Gene.

Glad you liked, hun!

I covet your Snucius, as I covet your icon.

I love the misspelling X-D

[lilian-cho.livejournal.com]

And I am stupid and didn't realize that the middle was supposed to be invisible ink D:

*goes and read*

[lilian-cho.livejournal.com]

I wish I'd taken one more kiss, for all your squirming. Just one more.

*sighs blissfully*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thank you sweetie!

And help yourself to the icon, of course! It was a lucky find finding a slightly photoshopped picture of Lucius so he looked a tiny bit younger.

[rwday.livejournal.com]

Lovely work, as always. I'm glad you're doing original now, but I miss your boys. And they are yours, really, not JKRs, not when you write them.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Thanks darling. It was nice to revisit them, and I made gehayi sniffle!

£,

I’ll  be  there.

And now I'll step out of character long enough to smile blisfully and sigh reminiscently, and think back to the lovely scenes we've played.

Ahh, it does my black little heart good to hear from your inimitable Lucius again! See, it's all a-pitter pat ♥

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Typical brat that he couldn't give Lucius one "sweet word" although Lucius is happy enough with his response and is rushing around buying presents already that he knows in his heart that Severus won't accept.

I'm glad you liked it, hun. I prefer your avatar of his boy, but I'm so happy with the movie Severus I could burst. Shame they couldn't get the others even nearly right!!

One day I'll tell you who I got them from. He's clever, like you.

Oh! That injects a frisson of foreboding into this! Love all the undertones and subtexts, and yes, that you dipped back into a world you adorn so well.

::hugs you, Lucius, and his Dearest Boy::

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I'm quite sure that Severus suspects Lucius' involvement with VM, but I don't think it's a subject they've discussed yet. Lucius is still terrified of being too old for him (silly how it makes a difference at these ages but when they are older it doesn't matter at all) and that boys are notorious for their affection shifting.

I'm so glad you liked it. I don't want to slide back, but I really wanted to write this.

[noble-patrician.livejournal.com]

Just serves to remind me how much I miss Mirror. *le sigh* Lovely, dear. I couldn't resist the Abraxas urge, forgive a girl. *G*

Lucius, Malfoys do not wear their hearts on their sleeves. What must I do to keep the two of you apart?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Kill us, father. That's the only way. Marry me off, take me to the Antipodes, it won't change the way I feel, and never will. This isn't melodrama, it's a simple statement of fact.

Thank you! I miss RPG, too, I have a lot to thank it for, it certainly taught me a lot about dialogue which I hadn't done much of before!
