All caps and icons are mine. The caps have been hanging around my harddrive for nearly a year now, waiting to be iconned, so it's high time I got on and did it.

Some may resemble icons from my other Richard Harmon post, and I apologise if they do.
I have more than this, but LJ is being a giant douche, so I couldn't post them all at once. Because fail, that's why.

That would be because I have ME. It's a scarily common disease, and it's also kind of shitty, and I am now blogging about it over on
So. There you go. If you have any interest in the disease whose prime function seems to be making life really boring, hie yourself over there. I'll try to actually keep up some kind of activity on it.
And I'm sorry if you're one of those like two people who've seen me announce this three times now.
Chapter Title: Getting Under My Skin
Fandom: Harry Potter (Marauder's Era AU)
Characters/pairings: Mainly Severus/Laura (OFC), with background Lily/James. Largely focused (in this chapter) on Lily.
Warnings: AU. Um... possibly swearing later on? I don't know, it seems like a very PG fic.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing. Laura is my friend Tina's. And the title is from the Mumford & Sons song After The Storm.
Summary: Since they first met, Severus Snape's life has revolved around one person; Lily Evans. And she's decided to change all that... by setting him up with someone else.
A/N: ...and I made myself cry. Yay.
