Halloween Treat for Karasu_Hime

Gift for: karasu_hime

From: scriblerian

Title: Joie de Vivre
Pairing: Severus/Remus, Lily
Rating: G
Warnings: none
Summary: Trick-or-Treating with Lily.

Lily laughed as she spun around, her red hair flaring around her. The transfigured coins attached to the bottom of her gypsy costume jingled. When she got too dizzy, she fell into Remus’s arms.

Remus hugged her and told her to go check on her trick-or-treating supplies. The Muggle custom had made its way into the wizarding world over the past decade. It was different, to be sure. The carved pumpkins sang and laughed, the candies were apt to take a nip of your fingers, and the treat bags had to be sternly warned not to eat all of the candy.

Severus was preparing hot cocoa and the cinnamon cookies. Ginny and Harry were wonderful about letting Lily spend time with her godfathers. Trick-or-treating was something that neither Severus nor Remus had done as children. Watching Lily experience it was a high point of the year for both of them.

Remus noticed that Severus had tears in his eyes as he prepared the tray of treats.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, as he wrapped his arms around his lover and rested his shaggy head on Severus’s black-clad shoulder.

“I just love Lily so much.”

Remus hugged his partner more tightly. He knew exactly what Severus meant.

	thanks! I soooo tried to do fluff for Karasu_Hime, but I just don't have it in me. Next time I say "I'll do anything" I should specify. Anything nasty... glad you liked it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I feel so bad about this fest. I did have fun with it, but I should have been more specific about my writing talents. Fluff ain't it. My middle name is "dirtybadwrong." Next time you should give me the nastiest prompt there is... Thanks for your patience with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Don't feel bad if the only thing you feel bad about is being asked for that thing I asked you for; it happens and I could tell you'd made an honest mistake.

I'm thinking of re-jiggering the required sign-up info next year, but I don't think "light" and "dark" will be part of it. Just be sure to mention your areas of expertise. I'm kinda sad I didn't know about your preferences this year - there were a lot of requests for horror!

*HUGS* Thank you so much for participating. It really meant a lot, from a mod headache standpoint, that you remained flexible and turned in a wonderful drabble for Karasu. You're aces in my book and I hope we see you in 2011!

love, lore
