For the Horde!

Notes: I see this as a spin-off of a story I wrote with Arionrhod: Another Kind of Fandom Wank.

Remus had first heard about World of Warcraft from one of his clients, a woman whose condition kept her house-bound; she played it for the social outlet it offered, and he joined her guild when he began playing.

His character, Reimus, was a Tauren Hunter with Enraged Stanley for his wolf pet; he liked the hulking but gentle Tauren race, and it seemed fitting for him to play the overtly bestial PC race in the game.

Severus seemed uninterested, but when Remus was challenged to a duel (and beaten) by a smug Blood Elf warlock named Sevarys, he grew suspicious.



Severus denied it, of course.

"I don't have time for silly games," he'd sneered. "Go and kill pixies or whatever it is you hack and pillage with your friends. I've got better things to do."

Remus remained skeptical, especially when "Sevarys" kept popping up, taunting him and flirting with him in equal measure through emotes without ever speaking.

One night, Severus was working from home, utterly engrossed in the computer security system he was designing. Remus sneaked up behind him and whispered in his ear.

"For the Horde!"

"Remember the Sunwell," Severus replied absently.

Then it sank in.

"Damn it!"
