Special delivery for melantha
Title: Confrontation
Author/Artist: plastraa
Recipient's LJ name: Melantha
Rating: R
Pairing(s): Hermione/Severus
Warnings (if any): It is so very work safe it's not even funny!
Authors notes: I tried to do something more sexy, but they just wouldn't let me, instead they wanted me to draw this angsty little bit. I hope you like it!

These pictures and your prompts inspired a story as well, but I am still working on it and will post it after the swap. Here is the scene that belongs with these pictures.

“You can’t carry on like this Severus.” Hermione put out a hand to touch his arm, but he shrugged her away. “I know you…”

“You know nothing Miss Granger.” His face twisted into a sneer.

“Why won’t you let me help you?” Hermione could not let it die even when he barked out a bitter laugh.

“You want to help me do you? And just what do you think will help Miss Granger?” He asked the question with such disdain that Hermione felt a chill go up her spine but it didn't stop her.

“I think you need what everyone needs Severus. Friendship, warmth, kindness…love.”

“Love? There is no room in my life for love. Never again.” His face hardened.

“There could be.” She took a step toward him as she spoke.

His whole body went rigid and he refused to look at her, but he didn’t back away. She took this as a good sign and moved closer. Close enough to hear his breathing, close enough to feel the warmth radiating off of his body. Close enough to lean in and…kiss him, but she didn't.

She did nothing but stand and look up into his averted gaze. If there was to be another step it was his to make.

HOLY ****, with more **** and an OMG thrown in!!

I've never gotten art before, and always kinda hoped for it, but didn't want to slight the writers out there, yanno? But this is so AWESOME! I have an ART GIFT! And not just any art, but fantastic art!

Okay, enough squeeing, onto the real stuff. You do excellent pointilism, which is so hard, and the detail in Hermione's hair is nothing short of stunning. The exquisite lines of her dress are amazing, your blacks are inky and deep, especially the tendrils of Snape's hair....I simply can't say enough about how impressed I am with this. I have to say I would comment probably just as long even if this weren't for me, because the art is that good. And the little story with it, very lovely and emotional, perfect. I can't wait to read more! And I hope you have more art you've been doing, because after the reveals I am definitely going to want to see your work.

Man, I want to FRAME this for my wall.

::muchas smoochies:: Thank you again for such a wonderful gift!

	Yay! I am pleased you like it! It was loads of fun to create. :) (I heard through the grapevine you have been ill, hope you are much better.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, wow. This is so beautiful! I love all of the details and the black and white woodcutty style ... it's so fabulously beautiful! The hint at the story and the glimpse of more to their relationship in the last panel - just amazing. (Reply to this)

	The style on this is fabulous, and the care you've taken with it is clearly evident in every detail. I love the book titles and Severus' robes, but most of all I love Hermione. The cut of her robes, the detail that went into them, the shape you've given her, everything. Beautiful job. I can't wait for the reveal and the rest of the story. (Reply to this)

	I love the style of this, especially Hermione's hair! Their clothes are beautiful, too, and the background is so intricate. Is that Sirius's portrait on the wall? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	My sister told me the portrait on the wall looks like Jesus...sigh It is supposed to be some nebulous Snape ancestor, but Sirius, hmmmm....that just makes it more interesting as to Snape's past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	g I'm a Sirius fangirl, so it's par for the course that I'd see it as him. Now that I look again, the hair and beard are very Snapelike. But I'm happy to think of it as Sirius, too :). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Your style is so beautiful! It reminds me of those elaborate 1960's underground comix. Mmmm, wonderful. (Reply to this)

	Oh that is fabulous - the attention to detail, the hair, the lovely hair. (Reply to this)

	Like just about everyone above me, I love her hair. Beautiful job over all, and the drabble is wonderful. OU! But there is boobie! I'm just glad I was alone at work when I first clicked the link. XD (Reply to this)
