FIC: The Abundance of Her Charms (Snape/Luna)
To: meri_oddities
From: Your Secret Santa

Title: The Abundance Of Her Charms
Author: odogoddess (website)
Pairing: Snape/Luna
Summary: Abhorred in life, thinly admired in death, Severus Snape slowly discovers a sort of peace to be found in the company of a maddeningly perspicacious Ravenclaw.
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 16,730
Warnings: as requested, this mostly ignores the ~~horribly treacly & completely illogical~~ DH epilogue as well as the continually changing and often contradictory ~~turdlets~~ tidbits of trivia that JKR keeps burbling forth about in her chats. As of early November 2007, the date of Luna's birthday is unknown, so I felt free to just make it up for the purposes of this fic. This fic also contains truly atrocious Latin, pig Spanish, dollops of UST, as well as wankage, peepage, shaggage and baggage (h/c). Oh, and a character death...sort of, but NOTE: this is not a tragic fic. :)
Author's notes: I hope you enjoy this fic as well as a very happy holiday season, Meri!

Thank you so much mystery writer, for such a great gift! I totally win.

This was so good. I really love clever uses of magic and insights into the magical world and this story so completely fits the bill. Snape was a lot better off in his second life than he'd been in his first. *g*

I loved how Severus became more and more human even if he was a portrait. And I loved how Luna got closer and closer to him. I love a long slow build on a relationship and this was perfect. And I liked the end, because you were right, they ended up together forever, not just for a while.

Thank you again!

	You're very welcome, Meri. I'm glad that you enjoyed reading it. I was hoping that an afterlife tale wouldn't be too sad for you or the holiday season, even though it's not intended to have a sad ending. I'm glad it fit at least some of your Likes. I'm especially glad you liked the ending! :) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
