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.

[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.

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!

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*

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.

Your version is much more to my liking.

[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)

[sweetmelodykiss.insanejournal.com]

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

[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!

[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*

[majmunka.insanejournal.com]

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

[witchdragon.insanejournal.com]

Oh *sniffs*

[firefly124.insanejournal.com]

*sniffles*

That was lovely.

[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!)

[zephyr_macabee.insanejournal.com]

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

[odogoddess.insanejournal.com]

Oh, that is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

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