Gift fic for miss_morland, The Boy With the Thorn in His Side, PG-13
Recipient: miss_morland



Author: arcadian_dream

Title: The Boy With the Thorn in His Side

Characters: Severus Snape/Peter Pettigrew, unrequited Severus/James and Peter/James.

Rating: PG-13

Content Info: *ANGST*

Summary: He remembers when Wormtail was Peter, and he was Severus, and they were kids, both lost, lonely; and in love with James Potter.

Disclaimer: It's Rowling's playground, I just like to muck about on the swings.

Word count: ~1,630

Author Notes: I may have gone a bit OTT on the whole Snape's-unpleasantness-being-acknowledged angle. I'm crossing my fingers it's not too detrimental overall. Thanks to the Mods for their patience - this would, in no way, have happened otherwise. miss_morland, I enjoyed writing for you (more than I've ever enjoyed writing Snape, actually!), and I hope you enjoy reading

Oh maaaaaan. The writing thoughout this entire piece is dark and flowing and melodic, right from the first word. Of course it makes total sense that Peter's behavior as a student could be the result of unrequited feelings for James, and it puts his betrayal of the Potters into a whole new perspective. And it doesn't take much to shift Snape's hatred of James to something a little more complex. The understanding between Snape and Peter is so well done here; delicate and painful. I love Snape remembering "when he was Peter," and the use of the same final line for both past and present -- the cycle repeating itself. Gah, bleak and lovely.
