    Summary

    ...a thought struck him like a bolt of lightning. A sudden realization, a clarity akin to not just learning his letters, but to being able to turn those images into words and phrases and to read, to comprehend.

    Diarmuid now understood:

    This was not the man he wanted to kiss.

    ---

    A guest at the monastery takes a liking to Diarmuid and kisses him. Diarmuid finds the experience disappointing, especially because it makes him realize that the only person that he wants is the Mute. The Mute misinterprets the situation entirely and is protective.

    Summary

    ...the monk placed his hand on Diarmuid's back and shoved him.

    Diarmuid stumbled foward with a cry of surprise, flailing, falling to his knees at the stranger's feet. He loomed over Diarmuid, his expression obscured by the sun shining in Diarmuid's eyes. With one quick movement, the stranger moved toward Brother Geraldus, gripped his sword with both hands, and drove it, point down, into the white sand. Then, he grabbed Diarmuid by the arm and hauled him to his feet.

    "What are you doing?" Diarmuid asked, shrugging him off. He was trembling and hated himself for it.

    The man grimaced. He cast a questioning glance back at Brother Geraldus, who hissed, "Go with him, boy! It's a trade!"

    A trade? Diarmuid swallowed. The sword—for himself? For what reason? "What does he want with me?"

    ---

    Historical Fantasy AU. Diarmuid is taken from his monastery by a strange, silent warrior named David. He is under the impression that he is now David's servant, while, unbeknownst to him, David thinks that he's just made Diarmuid his husband.

    Summary

    When Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter raises red flags for Severus Snape, he delivers the letter instead of letting Dumbledore handle it. Severus does not see a miniature James Potter when he encounters the scrawny child, drowning in clothes that don't fit and holding himself carefully away from his aunt like she might strike him at any moment. Severus is reminded only of himself.

    Severus's choice to rescue Harry might damn him when Voldemort returns, or it might change everything.
