Fic: Parting Gift Harry/Scorpius

Title: Parting Gift
Rating/Warnings: NC-17, age disparity, not chan, wanking
Word Count: ~900
Pairing: Harry/Scorpius
Summary: The parchment rustled in his trembling hand. Harry placed the precious art gently on the desk. Harry couldn’t risk anything happening to it; it was all he had left now.
Author's Note: This fic is inspired by [livejournal.com profile] oldenuf2nb’s incredible Scorpius Malfoy artwork Not His Father’s Son.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] softly_sweetly and [livejournal.com profile] piratesmile331 for the beta read. I played with it a bit after your comments. Any mistakes are mine because I couldn’t stop fiddling with it.
Edited to add: In case there is any confusion, this fic and oldenuf's art are not related to the Seventeen 'verse. I intended this to be a very different Harry and Scorpius.




Parting Gift

Harry didn’t know how it had ended up on his desk in between the various piles of parchments, the corner barely poking out enough to catch his eye. But as he gently edged it free from the stack – careful to leave the parchments both above and beneath undisturbed – he knew exactly who placed it there.

Only one person was allowed past his wards, only one person with the bollocks to enter his office without permission.

Harry’s index finger traced the line of the delicately shaded cheek bone, then down the jaw displayed in all its pride by the pose. The parchment was soft beneath his touch, the fine etching having worn it smooth.

The likeness was striking. The artist had captured far more than the beauty of Scorpius Malfoy. Harry’s breath quickened as he absorbed every tiny detail. The artist had found the essence of Scorpius: confident and bold, cocky and fearless, full of passion and lust.

This was his Scorpius.

This sketch was of the man Scorpius had become in the last year. The slim, muscled shoulders had broadened seemingly beneath Harry’s gaze, stealing away the boy in the months they were together.

The parchment rustled in his trembling hand. Harry placed the precious art gently on the desk. Harry couldn’t risk anything happening to it; it was all he had left now. A parting gift.

The scorpion called to him; Scorpius’ personal siren, he used to say. Who could resist staring? It was that – Scorpius catching Harry enraptured by his tattoo – that began everything.

One moment of weakness, one look of understanding.

Two hours later they were locked in this office, Scorpius’ delicate cheek pressed against the rough wood of the desk and Harry buried balls deep. Harry kept one hand on Scorpius’ neck, his thumb strumming the tattoo, the other clenching the hip while he thrust in and out. Scorpius always demanded more – harder – faster – I’m not a fucking China doll – make me feel it.

Harry popped the button of his trousers as his vision blurred between the memory and the picture. He was already hard. Aching.

He stared at the collarbone he loved to lick, the nipple he always left red and bruised with pinches and bites until Scorpius would squirm and tell him, ‘fuck me already.’

Harry gripped his cock tight and gave a quick twist at the tip; his hands weren’t smooth or pale, his fingers were stubby rather than long and slender, but he knew how to mimic the brash grip well enough. If he closed his eyes, maybe-

Yet he couldn’t take his eyes from that face, the aristocratic Malfoy nose, the pretentious hair and those eyes, gazing off in the distance, always looking for the next great high.

Harry cursed the artist for the realism, even to the last unfair detail. Not even in this could he hold the man’s attention now.

Maybe it was better this way. Harry would never forget Scorpius’ eyes, wide and full of life and need and just a little desperation. Harry knew exactly how they would shine with desire then glaze over and squeeze shut the second before Scorpius’ breath hitched while he rode out his orgasm.

Harry pulled at his cock, lost in the memory, the intimacy of those moments. Harry didn’t want anyone else to experience that look. He wanted to be the only one to ever feel Scorpius’ arse clenching greedily at a cock as if he never wanted to let go. Scorpius’ fingers scratching – marking – his back, his chest, his arse. In those fleeting moments, Scorpius needed nothing and no one else.

Harry’s free hand moved to his chest, his fingers scraping along his right nipple. Harry cried out, his fist flew furiously over his cock, pumping mercilessly as he peaked.

Harry opened his eyes after the rush dissipated. The room was too large, unbearably empty and silent but for his harsh breathing. He was late, people were waiting on him. He had so many responsibilities, so many obligations that he had never been willing to give up. He was too stubborn, too old to follow someone else’s dreams – certainly too old to steal off to America.

He stared for a long time at Scorpius, at Scorpius looking away.

With a dull ache in his chest, Harry wiped away the evidence of his little indiscretion. Picking up the picture he delicately ran his finger again over the cheek, the jaw. He traced the ear, the scorpion, the collar bone.

A broken sigh escaped as he rose to take the picture, to keep it safe, to hide it.

He blinked in surprise as his eye caught the outline of markings on the back. They were barely visible through the parchment as he held it to the light, an elegant script in the top left corner. He held his breath and flipped the picture over.

Three words.

Three perfect words.

Wait for me?

Harry let out his breath and the pressure in his chest lightened. He would wait forever and next time he wouldn’t let go.

~fin~



The sequel to this fic is now up: Fresh Start

ok...i'm gonna read this, but i have to ask first because it drives me nuts every time i see it. and i can't figure out why it does it.

did you change the font color for your heading? because all i can see on my friend's page of this post is LJ names. i had to hightlight over it to discover that you were posting fic! :D

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, i changed it to black because someone mentioned by default grey is hard to read.

I'll make sure the change to black occurs AFTER the lj-cut! thx!

EeeeYaahhhhh! YAY! Oh. My. God. I love love love this! What a wonderful moment. I love oldenuf2nb’s drawing, and this compliments it so well. :D

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't sleep that night after a saw the art. I had this image of Harry wanking to it and I shamelessy begged oldenuf to let me write it. :D

I'm so pleased you liked! ::twirls you::

[identity profile] empress-jae.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
ok...now time for the real comment. *ahem*

HOT. :D

and scorpius' note. just perfect. i felt that in my heart. well done! you truly gave [livejournal.com profile] oldenuf2nb's artwork justice! ♥

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
you truly gave oldenuf2nb's artwork justice!

::beams::

I can't ask for a higher compliment then that. That artwork blew my mind like nothing I've ever seen before.

[identity profile] thilia.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god, I can't even begin to express how wonderful this was. It was a perfect fic to go with that beautiful drawing. It seemed so hopeless for them before Harry discovered the 'wait for me?', which made me smile. Perfect :D

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much.

I had two endings written, actually. One was much less hopeful. hmmm.. just thinking about it makes me cry, as a matter of fact.

I opted for the 'no crying' choice. Glad it made you smile.

[identity profile] melusinahp.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw. So sad. And gorgeous.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
:D

you should see the other ending... it made this one look like a party. *g* But I was a little too depressed to try to depress everyone else so I changed it to hopeful.

Thanks mel! *gropes*

[identity profile] hergunfight.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Lovely, lovely stuff. Can't wait for the reuinion.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
reunion, eh? hmmmm.....

No... stop that...I'm in the middle of two other Harry/Scorpius right now (sounds kinky). I got finish those first. *g*

Glad you liked! Thanks. ♥

[identity profile] accioscar.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck. That was gorgeous! Beautiful, hot and angsty - just how I like it! And then... the end! Oh, the ending made my heart squee!

I loved it - a perfect tribute to [livejournal.com profile] oldenuf2nb’s stunning artwork. ♥

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I adore your icon. That is exactly how I felt about oldenuf's art... which prompted me to think that Harry must clearly feel the same way!:D

Thanks for your lovely comment. ♥♥♥

[identity profile] oddishly.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a total aversion to cross-gen, but oldenuf2nb's drawing is so very gorgeous that I ... clicked here anyway. And it's just- Guh. Wow. Perfect. ♥

Off to read your other Harry/Scorpiuses! I can't believe I just wrote that, my god, brick walls are dissolving before my eyes. You are even better at this writing business than I had thought! And, y'know, I thought you were awesome before ... *fangirls crazily* :)

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I convert you? YAY!!! Harry/Scorpiuses is a perfectly valid statement. I shall use it from now on.

You are even better at this writing business than I had thought! And, y'know, I thought you were awesome before...

*blushes* awe, that is very, very sweet.♥ I hope you like my other Harry/Scorpiuses they are slightly more pervy than this one! *g*

[identity profile] abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh! This was so sweet and beautiful! A fitting companion to that gorgeous picture, and that's a tall order!

Brava, my dear!

*hugs*

You aren't a typical cross-gen reader are you, Cam?
Thanks for reading! *smooches*

I'm glad it worked for you. I was afraid of taking a pic EVERYONE loves and making a lame attempt at porning it up.

[identity profile] suziegeorge.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That was #sniffs# beautiful. And hawt. Beautifully hawt ^_^

#Sigh# I too can't wait for the reunion :D and the two Harry/Scorpius fic's you're working on!

Your fic goes hand in hand with the gorgeous artwork and I adore the ending #dies of the cuteness#

Hope ya don't mind but I've friended you to keep up with your stuff! ^_^

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
The two other Harry/Scorpiuses (what? it's a word!) might be a long time coming (hopefully before Christmas.)

But you are very welcome to stick around. I mostly do a lot of H/D fic recs and various other fests recs.

*gush* This is wonderful in so many ways. The ending was brilliant. I think Harry will be waiting.

Ask Alaana and Oldenuf2nb for the icon. :)

::covets your icon times a bazillion::

I will plead, beg, offer sexual favours for ask about the icon.

I'm thrilled you liked. I really didn't want to just 'add porn' to the pic. But you know... we all thought about it when we saw the pic, didn't we? What? just me then?

[identity profile] k8matty.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww *sniffles at the ending*

Scorpius always demanded more – harder – faster – I’m not a fucking China doll – make me feel it.

*claws madly at the screen* guuhhh...hubaderh...flargh...*dies happy*

Hee! I'm so glad you liked. Scorpius is such a pushy bottom! *g*

[identity profile] shoeboxer4life.livejournal.com 2008-10-06 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Dangit, woman. I think I am converted to a H/Scorpius shipper thanks to you. I read this ficlet with the assumption that your little seventeen universe was ending and...I was...surprisingly sad about it!!! I mean, you know I liked your stories (but come to think of it I never properly commented on the middle one) but I didn't realize I was emotionaly invested until I thought it was over. Wow. Thanks for not breaking my heart right now!

Love, Anna

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)


YAY! A convert! *g*

I didn't mean for this to be part of the Seventeen 'verse. (I just added a note to the fic because there is certainly plenty of room for that confusion with the stricking similarities and lack of any real differences LOL! I think I need to work on my orginality!)

But I'm so happy that you would sad for Seventeen to end. Not that I want you sad but it's such a compliment for you to be emotionally invested in a pairing that isn't a fav.

*mends your heart* ♥♥♥

Mmmmm! Scorpius's tattoo...and those last three lines! Loved it!

Thanks! I'm so thrilled you liked.
oldenuf's tattoo is made of WIN!!!

Oh, my God!

I just got to this; forgive the delay. I've been caught up in doing more art, and in RL, which is never where I want to be!

Anyway, forgive me for being so late to this wonderful party. This is WONDERFUL. So poignant. I absolutely love it!

And thank you. This made my evening.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY!!! ::beams:: I am so relieved that you like it!

I adore the art so much, it was a little overwhelming to write something for it, especially in a pairing that you do not typically read. But basically the moment I saw the art I had this image of Harry reacting to seeing your Scorpius and I needed to get it to paper.

Thanks so much for creating such an incredible piece and letting me expand on it.
You made my evening. :D

*dons beta hat*
certainly too old steal off to America. should be certainly too old to steal off to America.
*doffs beta hat*
*looks for Scorpius here in the States*
*apparently he has returned to Harry* Shit.. *lol*

BTW, that one sentence made all the difference in explaining what happened to them. Thank you.

Seems like you are making friends and converting people left and right! Good job! It's a lovely fic, and a lovely pairing.

[identity profile] marguerite-26.livejournal.com 2008-10-07 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL! fixed. I do believe I made THE EXACT SAME MISTAKE on the last when I played with it after your beta. I will need to read my new sentences more carefully.

I'm glad you liked the change. I was going back and forth about being more specific about what made Scorpius 'gone' and then when you suggested more details I hoped that sentence would cover it. Vague enough but still understanding he was physically somewhere else. Thank you so much (once again) for your eagle eyes and very helpful comments.

And YAY for conversions! It's like a crusade... with porn! :D

[identity profile] alaana-fair.livejournal.com 2008-10-08 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)

I wouldn't break your sweet little heart! If I write a horrible ending, I promise to email you a warning ahead of time, kay? :D

btw - would you like a seventeen 'verse or a reunion fic of this one for you b-day?

thank you! oldenuf's scorpius just blew my brain.

btw - I'm printing off all your recs right now! I've been searching for any Harry/Scorpius for weeks now. I'm so excited.

Actually, the Scorpius/Hermione has really caught my attention. very interesting pairing.

But yes, when is the reunion?

What a lovely comment! You inspired me. I wrote the outline for the sequel yesterday! :D

It won't be posted for a while because it needs to be typed in an everything, but it's written. Thanks for reading and commenting. ♥

eta: So that sequel is coming along. I've decided to re-write and expand it. I'll be posting it for [livejournal.com profile] piratesmile331 as a gift for her donation to help with the bushfires in Australia. :D
