Adonis by veridian_dair Title: Adonis Artist:veridian_dair Pairing: Severus/Harry Rating: R Medium: Photoshop CS4, graphic tablet Warnings: none Theme: Overcoming Adversity Prompt: What's love got to do with it Summary: An enchanting August moon changes the course of two men's lives in ways neither could have expected. A/N: Recently, I reread joanwilder/RaeWhit's story Surprised by Harry and this scene, which appears immediately in Chapter 1, captured my imagination and set my muse on fire. Hopefully, I have come close to creating some piece of the amazing magic contained in her words. Thank you, joanwilder, for giving us so many incredible stories and putting up with me once again as I picked your brain to paint this. As always, jadzialove was my biggest cheerleader and I couldn't have done it without her. Thank you to the mods for giving me another excuse to paint Severus. :)

Potter was completely immobile, his head thrown back, his face to the moon. The long black hair had fallen back to his shoulders, and the infamous scar stood out like a brand. His mouth was slack, the lips half open, and Severus watched the steady rise and fall of his chest as he breathed, wondering if the boy was on the verge of sleep, as unlikely as that might be in a position such as this.
Hard to believe that this Adonis, this vision, held the fates of them all in his hands.
