Snupin Showers 20 A: Something Blue ~ Moon in Blue
Title: Moon in Blue
Author: Bonfoi
Rating: R
Pairing: Remus Lupin/Severus Snape
Summary: To lose a child is to lose one’s very soul.
Challenge: Originally For lupin_snape's Chocolate & Asphodel vol. 2 and now offered for Snupin Showers
Word Count: 3,521
Genre: Alternate Universe/Alternate Reality; EWE; Romance
Warnings: Alpha!Remus; Drama/Angst; Tragedy (Implied); There is no Teddy in this story.
Beta: Initial beta by book7brkmybrain; final beta by firefly124; beta/Britpick by drachenmina; additional editing and guidance by klynie. Without their assistance, this story would have been lost. Any remaining errors are mine.
A/N 1: Some have expressed the opinion that grief is tempered by time. They are correct. But, I still cry when something reminds me forcibly of my mother. In turn, when she was alive, she cried for the brother I would never know, who died in my father’s arms as a baby. Grief is part of us, and there will always be tears ready to fall.
A/N 2: Without lore’s exhortations and so many kind words from the folks in chat, I would not have had the heart to present this. Thank you all for having such faith in my idea.
A/N 3: I’m still quite shy about this one and the tears it brings. I have not posted this since it appeared in C&A vol. 2.
The moon rode high in the spring sky,
a bowl of light that almost stole his breath.
