Well, you could take the easy way out and write the Severus/Lily one.

You'd think that'd be the easy one, wouldn't you, but it's not been the case so far. Don't let [livejournal.com profile] juniperus hear me say this, but I think I may be a little Snily'd out, at least on the production end.

inspired perhaps by the "Mists of Avalon" movie scene with Arthur and Morgan

Am now picturing Severus with Anjelica Huston. ^_o

but since the artist is Wiccan, I don't know if she'd want humor based on a religious ceremony.

Being Pagan myself as well as a lapsed Brit-Trad Wiccan, I could probably manage to do it sensitively enough. ("O thou who standest on the threshold between the pleasant girls of the living and the dread domains of the lords of the naughty places...") Hm. Might be a way to attack that problem. Real-world Muggle magic and pagan religious elements in Harry Potter fic usually really gets on my nerves because it seems so out of place. Humour might help.

Picture Severus saying, "I was an altar boy, for God's sake! I've never done this before!" :-D

lol. That's actually kind of an interesting idea. Now there's a religion I'd be blundering about in the dark trying to write. Better bust out my mother's old Missal.
