Title: Heart-Shaped Box
Pairing: Severus/Remus
Word Count: 100
Challenge: "It's... Pink"

Severus picked up the heart-shaped box. His brow furrowed.

"It's a Valentine's present," Remus said.

"Yes," Severus said, but he continued to look confused.

"It contains chocolate."

"Ah," Severus said. "A present for you."

Remus laughed until Severus tried to hand him the box. "Severus...?"

"What?"

"Why can't you just accept that I gave you a Valentine's present?"

Severus looked at the velvet box with the ribbons and scowled. "It's... pink."

"Pink and red are the traditional colors," Remus said.

"You'd think they'd come in Slytherin green. Or black. And it's a bit large."

"You want a small black heart?"

Title: The Morning After

Challenge: The Morning After

Severus didn't know where to go, what to do. He hadn't expected to survive the final battle; he'd expected one or both sides to come after him, expected to die protecting Potter, expected someone to take their revenge for Albus' death. Expected to die bravely, or foolishly.

Instead, he was alive, wandering a battlefield strewn with corpses. Lucius. Bellatrix. Moody.

Lupin. Alive.

In a moment they were at Spinner's End, and he was rushing to his laboratory to get potions to pour down Lupin's throat. Pale, weak, alive. Spells were cast, potions brewed.

There was something he wanted, after all.

Title: Caught

Challenge #5: Caught


As they entered his quarters, Severus grabbed Remus and kissed him. One of Severus' sleeve buttons caught on Remus' cardigan.

"Oh, for..." Severus said. He tried to free his sleeve, to no avail.

"Here, let me..." Remus said. He struggled for a moment, unsuccessfully, then squirmed out of his cardigan and left it hanging from Severus' sleeve.

Severus snorted, then stripped. "We'll just leave our clothing in an illicit embrace."

"I always knew you were a romantic," Remus said. "Now, about our illicit embrace..."

"There's nothing illicit about it," Severus said. "Except that you're wearing too many clothes, of course."

He'd promised himself, back in school, that he'd make James and Sirius leave Severus alone.

Severus had promised Dumbledore not to tell anyone he was a werewolf.

He'd promised Dumbledore he'd take his potion every single month.

Severus had promised that if he found out Remus was helping Sirius into Hogwarts he'd give him to the Dementors.

He'd promised to work with Severus to defeat You-Know-Who, and Severus had promised to work with him.

Severus promised to keep brewing the Wolfsbane. He promised to take it.

He promised himself he would always keep his promises to Severus from now on.
