Flight Plan

~

“Severus?” Lily burst into the infirmary, scanning for her friend. Spotting him, she hurried over, flinging herself onto his cot. “Are you all right?

A bandaged hand patted her hair awkwardly. “’M fine,” he mumbled.

“Remus is distraught,” she said, tearful eyes looking up at him. “Will you talk to him?”

She knew his answer before he spoke. “He almost killed me, Lily.”

She shook her head. “He cares about you. Please talk to him.”

Severus turned away and Lily sighed. “You have to let someone in sometime, Sev,” she whispered. “You can’t run forever.”

Actually, Severus decided, I can.

“Still running, Severus?”

Severus hesitated before turning to face his accuser.

“What are you on about now, werewolf?”

Lupin stepped closer and Severus struggled not to react. “You can’t use that excuse anymore,” Lupin said softly. “Wolfsbane makes me safe. Why are you avoiding me?”

“I don’t like you,” Severus sneered. “Surely that’s reason enough.”

Lupin smiled. “I can smell your emotions, Severus. You... like me. As much as I like you, actually. We should do something about that.”

Severus shook his head. “I am not ruled by emotions.” He walked away, ignoring the inner voice that called him coward.

Severus dodged hexes, staying hidden as the battle raged.

He snorted to himself. Had Riddle actually thought he wouldn’t have been prepared for an attack from Nagini?

His Notice-Me-Not Spell close around him, Severus edged closer, finally locating his quarry. As he watched, Lupin collapsed, struck by a hex.

Severus reached Remus quickly. Cradling his head, Severus expanded the Spell about them both.

“Don’t you dare die, wolf,” he whispered. “Or you’ll be the coward.”

Remus’ eyes fluttered open. “Knew you’d come around eventually,” he gasped.

Severus smirked. “It’s about time you repaid me for all you’ve put me though.”

Yay! Thanks, Koshie. :*
Long time no see. Things okay? *hugs*

Re: Flight Plan

[koshweasley.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I think things are okay. By the time I get home from work, do a few things, and sit at the computer, I'm falling asleep.

The morning, takes an hour to wake up, get those little things done. Cook breakfast/ then lunch, do a thing or two outside my car pooler is here. So there are some days I don't even get on line. Then there are those damn errends you try to do, I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get some things done, still not.

So in a nutshell, there just isn't enough time. and I'm learning new machines, which leave NO, time for reading slash. Fred is so backed up.

How are things with you?

*hugs you tight*
Things are crazy here as well. Between the job, the house reno and just life in general, things have been nuts.
I have been writing a lot lately, mainly for upcoming fests, although I have been managing to keep up with my weekly drabbles (just barely). My poor beta has been a bit overwhelmed.
I have given up on catching up on my reading at this point. I still have Snarry Games fics to read someday. *eyeroll*

If you're on YIM at all ping, okay? I'm usually on in the evenings. And make Wolfie come, too. ;) ♥

Ping me when he's on again. :*

I love all of them, but I found myself obsessing over the first part, especially the way you ended it:

“You have to let someone in sometime, Sev,” she whispered. “You can’t run forever.”
Actually, Severus decided, I can.
I found myself speechless. And the end was just...perfect. I love that Remus didn't question anything when he woke up, just a smug "I old you so." Thank you for sharing!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so glad this struck a cord with you, my dear. *hugs*
And yes, Remus has just been waiting all this time. Thank goodness for those werewolf senses. ;)

Thanks so much! :*

Once again, Ali, you did a wonderful job. Perfect ending to just make me smile. You capture them so well.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Aww, thanks, hon! *blushes*
What a sweet review. :)

[angela_snape.insanejournal.com]

Aw, these are fantastic!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks, my dear. :)

[lackofmendacity.insanejournal.com]

Awww... that was lovely. :D

I'm so glad Severus saw some sense, his self-denial was quite sad to see.

(But then you made it all better. :) *hugs you*)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I always have to make it better. Severus has suffered enough, IMO. :)
Thanks, hon!
