A/N: Magic Immunity universe

Ron woke up, totally discombobulated and thrown out of a dream he'd had that was so vivid he was still shaking. He'd never been in a Muggle aeroplane, and yet, the one he'd just been in had crashed, though he'd survived. As his breathing slowed, it slowly registered that he had two hands full: one bunched at the sheets, the other grasping claw-like at Draco's downy chest hair.

"Wake up," Draco said groggily, a warm palm fingering Ron's fist. "It's okay. You're alright, Ron. Hold me."

The relief shuddered through Ron as he spooned against Draco's skin, unrelenting and real.

You know I'm a stick in the mud about this ship, hee, but you write it so well. :)

I like that Draco said "hold me" rather than "let me hold you" (which is what I'd expect to see in a Harry/Ron maybe) But that stood out to me. Nice touch.

I had to come back because I'm afraid that sounded crappy. I hate when people comment "I don't like XYZ ship" because its annoying.

But I wanted to explain that I actually like the quality regardless of the ship.

For instance, I don't care for Snarry, but I've seen S'narry art that is simply beautiful and I want to tell the artist that I really like the work and that I'm not simply being a shippy squee'er. You know?

Thank you, sweetie. I knew what you meant.

Thanks! I know you're not exactly pro-Draco, so thanks for reading this at all.

Thank you especially for that; I'd not thought about that when I wrote it, but within this universe, at least, Draco often is demanding, even if within a loving subcontext. Ron/Draco is a very different dynamic than Harry/Ron, for sure.
