Harry/Lily for Amanuensis eeyore9990 April 22 2007, 03:54:42 UTC

Recipient: amanuensis1 *cough* No pressure there. *dies*
Request: Harry/Lily
Length: Umm, 527 more than it should be. I’m sorry!!!
Warnings: Incest but not really. :-/ Also, surprisingly canon *weg*

Harry never knew his mother. All he’d ever been told of her-that wasn’t a total lie made up by the Dursleys-was that he had her eyes and that she died for him. Oh, and she was apparently excellent with Charms work.

When he was eleven, that changed. For the first time, he saw his mother. She of the long, red hair, laughing green eyes, and wide, real smile. The smile that said she was someone who knew how to live, and had lived well.

He sat there all night, just eleven, so small, watching her. Well, them, really, but mostly her. He saw his Dad waving at him and adjusting his glasses, and grinning, but really? He sort of faded next to his mum’s-Lily’s-beauty ( ... )

Very Nice, I love the cannon elements, as well as the kind of misty psudo-incest.

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis demonqueen666 April 22 2007, 04:29:40 UTC

Nice. You should be proud of this. I think you did a really good job with a tricky prompt pairing (not to mention an intimidating recipient!)

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis amanuensis1 April 22 2007, 14:39:29 UTC

Ah ha ha! You've done the impossible--you took a pairing that by its nature should squick me and made me cheer for it and go, "oh, yuck," when we came to the nice normal pairing at the end. Fabulous. *hugs*

OMG, I just read het. LOL

This is wonderful though. So vivid I swear I could reach out and touch her.

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis quicksilvereyes April 22 2007, 19:33:42 UTC

GHA, this was fantablulous! Going in, I wasn't sure how you could pull this off without squicking me, but it made me very happy. With that warm, glowy feeling. I'm not sure I should be feeling like that, but oh well!

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis marginaliana April 23 2007, 02:40:07 UTC

Oh wow... you really made this plausible! And I love your use of sensual details, too. Lovely work!

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis jaddziadax April 23 2007, 04:22:39 UTC

yup yup yup i guess im not the only one who saw that comming O:

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis jessicaqueen April 23 2007, 05:28:05 UTC

This? Is perfect! Not at all squicky, surprisingly, but rather sweet and emotional. And I really wanted to have a go at Ginny for not being what Harry needed, but that's probably another story.

And extra points to you for drawing on the Oedipus syndrome inherent in the Harry/Ginny relationship.

This was fantastic and sad and just beautiful. Well done!

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis carpet_diemon April 23 2007, 17:57:27 UTC

Brilliantly canon. I was skeptical of what could be done with the prompt, but you turned it out wonderfully.

Re: Harry/Lily for Amanuensis coffee_n_cocoa April 23 2007, 18:05:06 UTC

You? Are totally made of win. This was absolutely fantastic! :D
