schemingreader: (man with baby in sling)

The wonderful [livejournal.com profile] sscrewdriver drew a beautiful illustration for my story Plenty. The story is an NC-17 story about an orgy, so it's not appropriate for every reader, but the artwork is fine for anyone, rated G. (She called it "Cuddle." Squee!)

What I wanted was an illustration of this exchange between Molly, Remus and Severus:

"I'm sorry, Remus dear, I hope it won't spoil your party, but I was just dying for a chance to let my hair down, just the once. Harry and Ginny couldn't come anyway because Harry doesn't like to be away from little James, even for an evening. He's doing that, whatsit, devoted parenting."

"Attachment parenting," Severus muttered, "Potter's early trauma, overcompensation, wearing that poor girl to a rag…"

"Shhh," Remus soothed. "They're fine, they're very happy. We had lunch together earlier today. I got to wear the baby around the house. That's what they call it, wearing the baby, isn't that funny?"



I really wanted to see Remus being happy about getting to wear the little redheaded baby in a baby sling.

This picture is incredible! I don't know how artists get so much out of facial expressions and body positions. You can really feel the relationships when you look at this. The colors are really amazing, vibrant. The story was about how much better everything could be for all of them after the war is over. This illustration gives you another way to see that.

Wow. Wow. I advise you to GO LOOK. Also, never use the stupid Rich Text feature of LJ or you will have to delete and totally reformat your post, as I just did. Phooey on you, LJ.

imagine, if you will, having to deal with Severus Snape as a sort of extended family member.

"Harry, gritting his teeth, repeated for the seventeenth time, 'Thank you for your concern, Severus, this works for our family. This works for our family.' If only Ginny would let him haul off and hex the old bastard one, but she was right. It would upset Remus."

WOW!

Yes, it is so wonderful, that drawing!

I would be delighted to hear what you think of the fic! (it is about an orgy, you know...)

It's lovely, and you can tell Mr. Sscrewdriver that all babies spend some time looking like Winston Churchill, so the fact that baby James looks like an old man means you've captured him perfectly.:-)

Yes, haven't felt "brave" enough to read the orgyfic yet (even though I know I'll like it, since it's you) but that art is fabulous. I'm going to read the fic, don't worry. I just need to be in that place where I go outside my usual fic reading. *G*

It's a Snupin orgy fic. That is, there are a lot of nice people having sex with each other, but the main thing is, Remus and Severus are in love.

Also, the war is over and everyone is alive and happy, because I said so.
