“What have you done?” Severus snarled when he spotted the design marring his lover's forearm.

“It's just a tattoo, Severus.”

“You've marked yourself. You're wearing my name on your skin.”

Harry's hands curled around Severus' ashen face.
“This isn't a dark mark. It's a message. It proves that tattooed forearms can't make you automatically evil.”

“That's ridic...”

“Now we're equal.”

“We'll never be equal. I carry Morsmordre on my arm.”

“And  I hosted Voldemort's soul for years.”

“You never carried it willingly.”

“You chose to betray him, sweetheart.”

“That doesn't mean...”

“Yes, it does. Dumbledore was right about that much.”

Very good.

Thanks, ada! :)

Ohhh, nice!

[pekeleke]

Thanks, lily! :)

Well done! Poor Severus -always marked and shunned because of it but Harry has shown him that the marking can be a symbol of triumph instead of failure. Thank you, as always, for sharing.

I have always imagined that Severus would have very strong opinions when it comes to tattoos.

His mark has been haunting him forever and will probably continue to do so in the future. It is true that Harry's actions here are geared towards showing him that he bears the mark of something that couldn't conquer him, but I imagine it'll be ages before he sees things that way.

Thanks, as always, for taking the time not only to read another work of mine, but also to send me such thoughtful comment. Receiving it meant the world to me. :)

Oh, I can imagine Severus' discomfort when he sees Harry's tattoo. Hopefully he can be convinced with time that sometimes love leaves a mark, too. (and I shamelessly quoted Mia Ugly)

[pekeleke]

OMG! Nobody has ever quoted Mia Ugly at me before, I feel so honored...

Thanks so much for this wonderful review, agnes. It really made my day. :D

I would love to see this tattoo! Severus should shut up and just adore Harry and his tattoo!
Hugs,

*Grins* "Severus should shut up and just adore Harry and his tattoo!' That's exactly what Severus should do. I couldn't have said that any better, myk! :)

Thanks, once again, for taking the time to both read and review another work of mine. Your beautiful comment meant the world to me, my friend. :)

Hugs,
