Marking time
I hope I'm doing this right. I'm sure someone will tell me if not.

Title: Marking time
Author: [info]shoeboxes4all
Pairing: Severus/Harry
Rating: PG
Word Count: 103
Warnings: none apart from EWFE
Summary: Severus indulges in a bit of reminiscing.
A/N: OCD!Snape makes a reappearance. Part of a series including The itch and Why do I keep counting which can be found in the SeverusSighs files archive. Beta'd wonderfully by [info]thesewarmstars. Thank you, thank you.
For the SeverusSighs anniversary celebration.
ObDisclaimer - These characters are not mine, they were created by someone else. I am just giving them something to do in their spare time.

A year since he'd set and reset the lab's wards until he was dizzy.

Three months since the sock incident.

A month since... Ah yes, the 'momentary lapse' with the wax. A bloody debacle, more like.

An hour since an unspoken declaration of love - a subtlety required to thwart the press.

Five years since that beetlemagus hack had outed them.

Eight years since the Boy-Who-Grew-Up had moved himself in.

Ten years since...

Ten years!

Severus sighed. Where did the time go? When had he become happy? No matter. Undeserved or not, Severus was hanging onto it fiercely.

"Severus?" mumbled a sleepy voice.

"Go back to sleep. All is well."

Awwww,

I love the way that Severus marks the passing of time in in socks and wax and Rita Skeeter. It is the little things that mark our lives.

Thank you. Poor old boy hasn't got much else in the way of back story. I must get around to writing a bit more.

Oh, I love your Snape voice. And, yes, finally, all really is well. Nice job!

Excellent way to reference that damned epilogue. This is the only 'all is well' I require. Also, hooray for the return of OCD!Snape.

Lovely!

I love how you show his character in his few terse words, still the Snape we cherish, even when he's happy. Lovely drabble!

I love this. Especially how Severus' happiness just sort of snuck up on him and left him a bit confused. (=

(Psst! Is this post locked on purpose?)

probably. I don't know! Haven't got the foggiest clue what I'm doing. Time for sleep I think.

Haha. Well, only NC-17 posts really need to be locked, so if you'd like to make it so everyone (not just members) can see, you can easily do that by editing your posting and changing 'Show this entry to' (which is down at the bottom) from 'Friends' to 'Everyone'.

Just if you want to, though. Have a good sleep! (=

Wonderful! It reads like a timeline of Harry and Severus's lives together. Very sweet.

I love it when Severus *sighs* is happy despite himself. Job well done.

That's Sev, nuerotic, but romantic in his own way. Great :)
