Author's Note: Inspired by the writing of the wonderful satinvalkyrie wherever she may be.


Drizzling through breaks in heavy, crimson fabric, sunlight dapples playfully against the shadows in a daily game of hide and seek. Sirius awakens slowly, the young witch in bed beside him is, as always, what he reaches for first. Laughing, dancing, loving her way into his heart, she too chases out the shadows like a goddess of light and life and as her faithful supplicant, he offers his morning prayer in her temple garden. Every worshipful touch of hand and mouth over fevered feminine flesh proclaims that this is sacrosanct, this her, this coming apart and coming undone, all for him, always for him. He is her pagan priest, thrusting with the push and pull and pulse of life, finding his absolution between her thighs, buried in her sanctuary, his holy asylum. Here is where he finds himself, in her hard clenching blazing hot truth, rocking pathetically against her as she tears the release from his body, her name a prayer on his lips.

I love this. I really love this. I especially love, "rocking pathetically against her as she tears the release from his body, her name a prayer on his lips." But here we have a Sirius blessed by his little goddess, and a Hermione who finally gets to be properly worshipped the way she should. A large part of why this ship works.

This is why the ship works for me. I have danced around this idea for awhile but after reading satinvalkyrie's Religion I just went in and took the plunge. I haven't found anything of hers that comes after about 2004 but I think she defines the dynamic between these two. I was so pleased to discover that someone else saw them this way as well and that this idea has surrounded the ship from the beginning.

I really shouldn't read your work while in stat class. I almost became a poddle of goop while reading this. It was really beautiful...the last line, was simply... I can't even think of a word that fits how wonderful it was. Another fav, and I did read the drabble that inspired yours and it was wonderful as well, but I prefer yours. Hers may have inspired yours, but you perfected it into something that was a whole different level.

Wow. Thank you. I have flirted with this notion of her significance in his world but have never said it so bluntly before. I'm glad you enjoyed it, puddling and all. :) I am smiling at the incongruity of statistics and erotica.

There are just no words to adequately describe the wonderfulness that is this drabble. The language is just ... I don't know how to describe it. Word choice, imagery, flow, everything is just beautiful and powerful. That last line, like both ilexx and padfootslover mentioned, is one of the best in this little drabble, but everything just works so well.

Thank you. I'm pleased that it seems to be working here. I had fun playing with the imagery and word choice. I think I was just fortunate to run across satinvalkyrie's wonderful drabble while pondering the prompt. I give full credit to her for stirring my imagination and wish she was still around and writing this pair. As far as I can tell she just sort of disappeared and while she makes mention of other stories she had worked on with this pair I can only mind 2 or 3.

Yeah, I read the drabble that you mentioned 'stirred your imagination'. It was good, there was no doubt about that, but I have to say, I like yours better.

Well, I'll be honest and say I'm a big fan of the little of her work that I've found. I'm honored that you like mine so well.

that was beautiful imagery and sentiment you truly have a gift

[ceredwensirius.livejournal.com]

That is such a lovely compliment, thank you.

This is beautiful and breathtaking and the sacred and the tainted twist so very wonderfully together and the slight formality of the language fits perfectly. Loved it.
