What does a person's first fanfic drabble look like? In my case, it looks like this. Please be kind!

Reparo

Severus would not miss a single thing about school. Not this station platform, not those endless goddamn Quidditch games, and certainly not the library, where he could be found, alone, sprawled in one of the comfortable chairs deep in the Charms annex.

At first, Severus had been content to gaze at him obliquely: sandy hair, long fingers holding a book or a quill, throat enticingly exposed above a loose red and gold tie.

Later – “How would you pronounce this?” He had glanced up almost shyly, nudging a yellowed book across the arm of his chair.

One conversation led to more; one afternoon led to much more.

But the annex was discovered, then invaded, by giggling girls who seemed more interested in his biceps than Advanced Charms, and Severus was nudged out, resigned to having lost the best thing about the whole -

The train whistled. “Oi, Snape, you dropped something.” Remus Lupin was suddenly there, bending over, then pressing a cloth into his hand. “My address. Write me, yeah?” Before Severus could take a breath, Remus had moved down the platform. Severus clenched his hand around the handkerchief. Parchment rustled.

Maybe the year hadn’t been a total loss.

of course I was so proud of this you'd have thought I hatched you from an egg! Well done on the LDWS. You did astoundingly well your first time. Next time - you'll go all the way.

Thank you, dearest. I wouldn't have done it without you, and then where would we be? Not engaging in sooper sekret stuff, for sure.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

I gotta say, I'm having a lot of fun with sooper sekrit. It has helped my confidence in so many ways.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

We're not being all that sekretif though. Oh, well, nobody reads the comments.

[teddyradiator.livejournal.com]

Your spelling of sekretif made me laugh a lot.

Actually, I don't think we need to be that sekretif, do we? Is the challenge anonymous? I never remember what's going on.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's anonymous. I thought we were just shy. Or superstitious.

Oh my gosh! Loved it!! Remus is really the only male character I can read paired with Severus... well, if you don't count SS/HG/LM threesome... but either way it was wonderful. Short and sweet, with so much promise in their future. :) Great job, babe!

Thank you!

That was adorable, really. I have such a soft spot for this ship, and you wrote it so well in so few words.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll post the rest of them as well.

[magic-knickers.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see them! :)

I know you aren't worried about anything that you write. Your beta and writing skills are superb!

Hahahah that was great! Snupin, two of my favorite men. I wish you could see the naughty smile on my face.
