Finally Awake

~

Severus awoke with a start from his dream, looking around warily. Potter had just been kneeling there watching him die...

“Are you all right?”

Shocked, Severus looked up into Lily’s face.

She smiled. “You were snoring, dear,” she said gently. Bending down, she pressed a kiss to his temple. “Time to wake up.”

Their children were gathered beneath the tree, and Severus blinked, the wisps of his nightmare escaping even as he tried to remember.

“Did you dream?” she asked as he rose and tucked her hand in his arm.

He nodded. “I did, but I’m glad I’m awake now.”

awwww....

That's so lovely. Severus's life would have been so changed, had things worked out differently.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*sigh*
So very true. But at least we can give him happiness in fanfic. *hugs him*
Thanks, luv! :*

[carpet_diemon.insanejournal.com]

Wow. This could get dangerous and existential in about five seconds flat. Lovely!

*squints* Is that a PEPPERmint candy clenched betwixt your teeth? Hehehe.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. Dangerous, hm? Well for Harry I suppose, since in this reality he'd never exist, at least not as himself.
Thanks!

Peppermint candy? *giggles* Why yes, you could say that! *g*

[bluestocking79.insanejournal.com]

I imagine he is! I imagine that would be quite a nightmare. I love the idea of him having happiness in this reality, though. He deserves it!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

He SO does. *hugs him*
If I have anything to say about it, he'll be quite happy in fanfic. :)
Thank you! :)

[jillypooh.insanejournal.com]

I gotta say that for all that I love Snarry I really like Severus and Lily together. This is so good! Are you gonna write more? *makes puppy eyes*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

More het? Ahahahahahaha!
*points to top of journal* You did see up there where it talks about slash, right? *g*
I dunno that I'll continue this per se, but I am all for a happy Severus, so I may explore similar themes in the future. That's all I'll commit to. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[jillypooh.insanejournal.com]

Yeah I know about the het, and believe me it very OOC for me to ask for it. But just something about Severus and Lily and it being in tiny little doses like this.

How I got over here I do not know, but I wanted to say that your 100 word drabble is so lovely. If only it were true!

Poor Severus. I still hate JKR for killing him off so needlessly and with so little imagination.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee. You prolly clicked the link from Snape100 on LJ I'd imagine. :)
Thanks so much for the lovely comments and I totally agree with you about what JKR did to him. It was pointless, senseless and wrong. *sigh*
At least fandom now has a chance to write a more meaningful life for him. :)

[septentrion1970.insanejournal.com]

Your version is much more to my liking.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Thank you, my dear. :)

[winter_june.insanejournal.com]

Gorgeous. And I really mean it . What a beautiful glimpse of a different world. How can a decision change your whole future (hope the Severus in the other side doesn't dream about this, it'd be too heartbreaking)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

And that never even occurred to me. Gah, that would be terrible for the other Severus. It would make an already hard life almost unbearable... *sigh* I tell you, my heart just breaks for him sometimes. :(
Thanks, my dear!

[sweetmelodykiss.insanejournal.com]

Oh, beautiful! I love the idea of Sev being happy in a different life.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm always about any life where Severus can be happy.
Thanks, hon!

[torino10154.insanejournal.com]

For some reason, I am taking the opposite view from most-this makes me so sad. Oh, that he could have been happy!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*hugs you*
Yeah, he could have been, and that's why it's up to fandom to actually make him happy since JK clearly won't ever even give him one crumb. *sigh*
Thanks, sweetie.

[cblue9.insanejournal.com]

Very Sweet!
If Severus ends up having a family with Lily, does that mean that Harry is one of the children?*g*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. Only it won't really be Harry, will it?
And I suspect Severus wouldn't name any of his children 'Harry' anyway. *giggles*
Thanks, my dear!

[majmunka.insanejournal.com]

I would miss my beloved snarry but can't be that selfish. *sigh*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

I would even give up Snarry to see Severus happy, although generally it's Snarry that makes him happy, so... ;)

Thanks!

[witchdragon.insanejournal.com]

Oh *sniffs*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*hugs*
Thanks, hon!

[firefly124.insanejournal.com]

*sniffles*

That was lovely.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*hugs*
Thanks! :)

[esmestrella.insanejournal.com]

Ack! It's like Dallas! You've invalidated the whole series!

...Actually, you know what? I'm okay with that. ;)

(...your chili pepper has stripes!)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, it's JKR's fault. She drove me to these lengths with her obvious Snape hatred. :(

And yes, it does have stripes. ;) It's nummy, too. *g*

Thanks!

[zephyr_macabee.insanejournal.com]

My dear, you've pulled a 'Newhart'; well done!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha, yes. Hey, I'll do whatever it takes to save my Snape. ;)
Thanks!

[odogoddess.insanejournal.com]

Oh, that is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Thanks so much for the nice comment! :)

[whatthefuckbenj.insanejournal.com]

JK would have a fit if she knew that book 1 - 7 were just a nightmare of Sevs =D

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*giggles*
She would, which is why we won't tell her. Shhh! ;)

Thanks, hon!
