Tear Stained Letters by Daisygirl
Title: Tear Stained Letters
Artist: daisygirl_080
Pairing: Severus and Harry
Rating: R
Medium:digital Photoshop
Warnings: None
Theme: Love and Courtship
Prompt:What’s love got to do with it
Summary: Harry knows what he must do to get rid of the monster, perhaps Severus will be able to move on, soon the world will see him as their hero, the spy for the light.
A/N: Angsty, I know. I've been in a...funk, but I think the challenge was a GREAT excuse to get rid of all the sketch bunnies that have been wracking my brain.

	Ouch! with a capital Oh My God! Stunning muse you have here, and the same with the absolutely wonderful use of colour and style. Makes this an evocative, moving, slit-my-wrists work of art. Very, very beautiful. PS: You do realise the Puffs are going to sob buckets over this, don't you? Job well done, I say. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	XD My muse was in a pretty dark place at the time I was doing art for the fest. LOL I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to draw something as angsty at the moment... I would certainly hope someone doesn't slit their wrists over my art. D: Thank you. Well, you know what they say about being successful if it toys with the emotions. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Oh. My. God. This is gorgeous! The colours, the sad atmosphere and all the details (the words "I must not tell lies" on Harry's hand, the ring that he left and the one that is still on Severus's finger) are simply amazing!

I love this art, and yet my heart is breaking. I want Severus to wake up and do something, make Harry stay. However, were it to happen, the art wouldn't be so achingly powerful, so perfect.

Well done!

	Thank you. Actually Harry's scar is what bugs me the most in the piece. I couldn't realy get it to look readable without making it looked like it had been raised too much. It still bugs me actually. XD Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it, even if it is a heartbreaking moment for them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This is so sad...but so beautiful. Harry is gorgeous. It's really, really a haunting piece. Clare (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What monster? What? Why??? Arghhh! You can't do this! I'm in Slytherin and I'm crying buckets! Maybe I am too dense to understand why he has to go. Please tell me, I can't stand it! Oh, and BTW, commando!Harry? Nice touch... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-07-21 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Harry's only leaving because he has to die to remove the Horcrux, but we all know what becomes of that little scenario. Harry's going to have a LOT of making up to do, when he realizes he survived and is faced with a VERY angry Slytherin. LOL I'd still love to see the moment they make up though.

	conzieu 2010-07-21 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh, thank god!!! Ok, I feel better now. Yes. there's going to be one PO Potions Master to contend with after the facts. Wait till Severus finds out Harry went to battle the Dark Lord without his underpants... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 12:49 am UTC (link)
	XD I wonder how Voldie would feel if he was beaten by a man that was wearing no underpants. ROFL! Your comment reminded me of that stupid Dockers commercial, "I wear no pants." I'm glad you liked it though, and yes, Severus is going to be pissy, but we all know that Harry is a sexy little thing and will shake it well enough for Severus to take him back in no time. ^_~ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooh - just gutted over this. The art is beautiful but is so tragic. I hope Severus wakes up in time to stop him. Gorgeous work. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-07-21 04:45 am UTC (link)
	hands you a blow horn Perhaps that will wake him up and make him stop Harry from making the worst mistake of his life. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	jwarg9euvrvu73g4559hghu I hate you a little, because I've been reading "If You Are Prepared," and that's filled with so much sad, and now this!? Spectacular job. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pokes Severus to wake up Don't let him leave! sobs You two can make up. So haunting and sad. Beautiful. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Poor Harry, going off to face his death, and Severus sleeping through it. huggles Severus Thank you, I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for commenting. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, the heartache! The pain is so evident on his face, and the light and shadow make this entire scene just heart-wrenching. This is just beautiful, achingly so. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Thank you so much, I'm glad that you liked it. Heart breaking enough when I drew it too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	fancypantsdylan 2010-07-21 08:05 am UTC (link)
	oh that's so sad and tragic. The colours and art is just awesome and I love how the slight 'out of focus'ness' feeling of the piece. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Very sad! I hope it all works out for them in the end. Interesting that you chose to identify Harry by his 'I must not tell lies' scar, rather than the lightning bolt. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 03:39 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure it will. I always think the "I must not tell lies" was such a big mark on him, not quite as much as the lightning bolt, but still a big part of him. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	flaminia_x 2010-07-21 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	Really lovely way of framing the picture with Harry on one side and the letter on the other, with the light reflecting off of Severus' face and the tiny details in the center - quite breathtaking. I too love the use of the hand scars - you don't need Harry's face in this one to read what emotions he's feeling. Lovely! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 01:00 am UTC (link)
	Thank you so much, I'm glad that you thought the details of the piece were powerful enough to pull off the effects of the emotions in the piece. I wasn't sure I could make Harry recognizable enough, but I'm glad that people can identify him by the scar on his hand. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	roozetter 2010-07-21 06:42 pm UTC (link)
	You wretched girl! Every good thing I ever thought about you has been destroyed by the unsettled look on Severus' face - as though he knows by not feeling Harry in bed beside him that something is utterly wrong. weeps sniff Other than that, your work is, as usual, stunningly evocative. Ok, I lied. I still heart you. Great job here, love! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 01:03 am UTC (link)
	XD I'm sorry I destroyed my reputation, and I'm sure you're going to hate me even more by the time this fest is over. LOL Thank you for the comment, I'm glad that you like the piece, even if you hate it all the same. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pushes you towards Harry Go, and tie him to the bed. He'll REALLY regret leaving Severus when he finds the evidence that Harry was going to leave. Thank you so much. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Waaaah! The ring left behind is the killer. I do love Harry pulling on his jeans, Severus still sleeping. Somehow, I'm going to hope they'll be reunited eventually. Beautiful work. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	daisygirl_080 2010-08-02 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Poor Severus. Harry is going to be in SO much trouble when Sev catches up with him. I'm sure Harry will have enough pleading to do. (Reply to this) (Parent)
