HP drabble: Equal to the Love You Make [Harry/Severus, general]
Title: Equal to the Love You Make
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Pairing: Harry/Severus
Rating: general
Length: 100 words
Warnings: terminal illness
Summary: Being together is what matters most.
Note: For alisanne, who wanted Snarry, starry night. The title is from the Beatles' song "The End": "And in the end / the love you take / is equal to the love you make."
"Help me outside."
Severus's once-rich voice is thin and cracked now, but as peremptory as ever. Harry offers his arm for Severus to use to help lever himself upright, grabs the fleecy shawl that Hermione knitted two Christmases ago, and drapes it around Severus's thin shoulders.
Nagini's poison has in the end done its work, although Harry can't complain too much, not after forty-odd years.
Despite the weakness of his lungs, Severus likes the clear cold air. Harry settles him into the padded wrought iron lounge and sits beside him. Together they watch the spangled stars cluster in the sky.
