Interior Scars

 

 

Remus finds his scars reassuring in their simplicity.  They can be seen, felt.  They are marks of pain but also of healing.

 

Severus’ skin is smooth as satin but there gashes and tears inside of him.  They can’t be touched.  There is no way to measure the damage they do or the pain they inflict. 

 

They can only be seen in the fear or hurt that will momentarily cross Severus’ face when he hears a parent speaking harshly to their child, or someone touches him unexpectedly. 

 

Remus wonders if they are scars or still wounds that have yet to heal.

Hello! I'm afraid I don't allow drabbles that aren't directly related to the challenge of the week. So if you could remove this or edit it slightly so it contains something to do with satin, this week's challenge, that would be great.

Thank you.

Did it and kept to exactly 100 words.
Sorry about the lapse.

That's okay. Thanks for making the change. Such a sad and moving drabble. Our poor boys :(

Oh, sad! :( It gave me such a mental picture of a flinching, uncomfortable, sad Severus at the unexpected touch. One should hope Remus can make it a bit better for him.

On a sidenote, hope you're doing better!

So sad. The idea of Severus flinching at another's touch brought the tears on. Those internal wounds are very hard to heal.

Very beautiful but I do wish that it was longer because I love the way that Remus sees Severus. I want to know what happened to Severus to cause those wounds.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. I'm planning on doing some longer Snupin pieces at some point, I've done some stuff about when they were younger and a piece there they're adults that sets the groundwork for a more long term relationship. I've also done a lot of Snape backstory. They're all archived at http://bitterfic.livejournal.com/
if you're curious about my take on the causes of those wounds.
