Drabbles

Started writing again. Just drabbles at the moment, but I've been thinking of a fic [livejournal.com profile] nimori wished for some time ago. It's something I've never done before and I don't know if I'll be able to write it, but I want to try.

Anyway, the drabbles. The first one is Urbs Anguis, written for this week's [livejournal.com profile] hp100's challenge, "When in Rome..." The second one was written for the After_Class dictionary challenge (this week's word was "Prostrate") and you can find it below.


Branded


Prostrated at Voldemort's feet, face flushed, tangled black hair sticking to his sweaty cheeks. Left arm still swollen, the Dark Mark standing out sharply on the pale skin.

Branded like an animal, like cattle ready to be slaughtered.

Harry closed his eyes and hid his face in Severus's black robes. He felt the familiar floating sensation that meant they were leaving the Pensieve and held the other man tighter. He didn't let go when they landed back in the empty office.

Severus stroked the unruly hair and rested his forehead on the top of Harry's head.

"That's my worst memory."

Well... I LOVE the drabble. BUT.
ProstATE and ProstRATE are two very different things....
Prostate is a gland. located um... Well, I'm sure a slash writer, or anyone in the medical field, will come up with a better way to describe WHERE exactly it is than I would be...
Prostrate is correct the way you've used it. It's just that they've VERY VERY different meanings.

PS. If you made a typo at the top, and it was SUPPOSED to be prostrate, then just ignore me. ;)

Yes, it's meant to be "prostRate"! I saw the typo when I had already hit the 'submit' button.

*shakes head*

I hate typos. Thanks for pointing that out, though. =)

heehee, ok then. I know how you feel. I edit my posts to within an inch of their lives on a regular basis. I'm a terrible typist so I make typos galore.
Really DO love the drabble. :)

*shudders* Wow. Dark, dark stuff. And you write it so well! Love this image:

face flushed, tangled black hair sticking to his sweaty cheeks. Left arm still swollen, the Dark Mark standing out sharply on the pale skin.

When I first skimmed this post on my friends page, I kind of missed the "R" in "prostrate." So I was expecting an entirely different kind of drabble.

Thank you! When I read this week's word I immediately thought of Voldemort and the Death Eaters. And I'm quite sure Snape's worst memory can't be *that* scene JKR showed us (even if I enjoyed it immensely ^_^), it was probably just Harry thinking it was. So I decided to make Snape show him his "real" worst memory.

I liked this very much; it gave me a hint for a Snape/Harry I am working on -- a way to help them come to understand one another better.

Thanks. And I'm glad my drabble sort of inspired you, Harry and Snape really have more in common than they realise, don't they?

They do, though they certainly would have a difficult time overcoming their prejudices to get together.

Mi piace. Mi piace, mi piace, mi piace.

Bello avere un ampio vocabolario, quando si tratta di commenti. *sigh*

Hehe, non ti preoccupare, basta il pensiero. Anch'io vado sempre in crisi quando devo commentare. =)

Grazie.

Prego!

Ma certo! Manda, manda. Mi trovo sempre un po' in imbarazzo quando mi si chiede la mia opinione su qualche fic, però mi fa piacere! =) Se è una Snape/Harry poi...

Yowza... Good one!! Knew that little tete-a-tete in OoP couldn't possibly be Snape's worst memory. LOL!!

PS. I dedicated my last [livejournal.com profile] hp100 drabble to you, but lj refused to recognize the code when I cut and pasted the text. D'oh...

I read your drabble yesterday and left a comment. It was lovely, thank you very much! I think no one had ever dedicated a fic to me before. =)

You're welcome. =)

BTW, I LOVE your "fishnet stockings?" icon!! Was bowled over in a fit of giggles.
