Okay, so in sixteen I cheated a bit and used a semi colon. Whoops – I'm sure you'll get over it. If you don't feel free to review and tell me.
1. Comfort
Their relationship was not based on comfort, but Harry couldn't help but snuggle up to Tom post-coitus because he knew the man was too relaxed to get annoyed and kick him out.
2. Kiss
There was only one kiss every shared between the two, a deep, lust filled kiss in the middle of a battle field and purposefully hurtful words.
3. Soft
Surprisingly, it was Tom who liked soft beds, and Harry who preferred hard mattresses.
4. Pain
It was the reason Harry had originally been drawn to him – no one else would think to hurt the Boy Who Lived in order to bring him pleasure.
5. Potatoes
Tom hated them, with a deep, abiding passion but allowed their presence when Harry was near because the boy lived to carve and make stamps, of all things, out of them.
6. Rain
Kneeling in front of the grave in which the world would not allow to have marked, the rain and wind howled out his sorrow.
7. Chocolate
The first time Harry ever found chocolate under the Dark Lords pillow, he laughed and ate it – which was regretted when an irate, hungry, chocolate wanted Tom decided to take revenge.
8. Happiness
Harry knew that he was expected to marry some one eventually, a woman, probably Ginny, but he honestly couldn't be happier than when he was exploring the lean body of another man – his man.
9. Telephone
It didn't surprise Harry that Tom knew how to use one – he was slightly awed, though, when Tom called his Uncle and threatened him so well that Harry received regular meals.
10. Ears
Eventually, after many foiled Death Eater attacks, Tom learned to ward against Extendable Ears.
11. Name
Harry only smiled and winked when Tom told him in an icy voice: 'Call me Tom one more time, and I will make you scream.'
12. Sensual
Before Tom (vain git that he is) decided to correct his appearance, Harry actually thought that the long, overly jointed fingers were quiet sensual.
13. Death
It was what their relationship would end in, they both knew it, they were too explosive for anything else to happen.
14. Sex
A traumatised Draco Malfoy would never be the same after accidentally walking in on…he wasn't even sure if something so violent and bloody counted as sex.
15. Touch
Hearing Harry sing in the shower about assorted touches being too much, he called out that maybe he should cease all together – the idea was not well received.
16. Weakness
Tom was determined that he had none – watching Harry felled by a sickly green curse by one of his own minions opened his eyes; Harry opened his eyes in time to see Tom ripping apart the minion with his bare hands.
17. Tears
Ginny begging and begging to know why – why – he wouldn't love her like he should.
18. Speed
Harry had never run so fast as when he'd thought his lover had been injured in a raid.
19. Wind
The first time they were together, only the wind heard their cries.
20. Freedom
If Harry had known that Tom liked to make bad jokes (repeatedly, each significantly worse, or said numerous times) he would have (probably not) reconsidered running off with Tom.
21. Life
It ended, brutally, the death of one effectively killing the other.
22. Jealousy
Really, what else had Harry expected from a Dark Lord – for him to happily invite the red headed woman who inspired his jealousy to have tea and biscuits and chat about how they both wanted to fuck the wondrous (and flexible) Harry Potter?
23. Hands
Though Tom regrew his nose and regained his hair, he eventually decided to keep his abnormal fingers – much to Harrys delight.
24. Taste
Sucking on a Blood Pop in his personal chambers, Tom couldn't wait for Harry to arrive.
25. Devotion
"I'm just still a bit stunned that you actually accepted my idea of running away together, away from the wizarding world and the fighting and the war and just live together in some isolated place and just be happy together – can you really live without minions?"
26. Forever
It was not something that they ever deluded themselves into thinking they had (though Harry did try very valiantly) in the end, the just settled for together.
27. Blood
Harry had seen so much blood shed through his life time, it was surprise that having his own spilt was such a turn on.
28. Sickness
When Harry acquired a cold from having sex outdoors, Tom spent hours panicking and proceeded to rug Harry up and not let him do anything for himself the next seven days.
29. Melody
At one point, Tom had thought that Harrys pained screams would be beautiful to hear – now he just revels in the pleasured ones.
30. Star
Eventually, many years later, he managed to erect a gravestone for his lost love without anyone protesting or vandalising it – of course, he couldn't write his feelings, so he merely hand carved a ragged star into the marker so, like the star that led the three wise men, he could always find his way back home.
31. Home
First it was a dark cupboard under some stairs, then it was a large castle filled with people who tried to little or tried to hard to understand him, and then it was the strong arms of a man who simply understood.
32. Confusion
The wards collapsed in the middle of the night, the door breaking down barely seconds later – they jumped out of bed – confusion, they've found us, hide, run, protect, kill – then darkness.
33. Fear
The first time Harry had ever confronted Tom without any possibility, at all, of being rescued by allies was when he decided to get some answers and then, somehow, he gained a deliciously perverted bed buddy.
34. Lightning/Thunder
Sometimes Tom detested that abhorrent lightning shaped scarp which marred his lovers brow – but he would try and think positively, without it, he would not have had reason to pursue him so mercilessly.
35. Bonds
The first few times, Harry had authentically struggled against the bonds, the rest of the time, Harry just liked to see crimson eyes narrow and sharp teeth bite him in warning.
36. Market
He found out, eventually, that their hiding place was discovered through a simple visit to the market place so that they could buy something special for their anniversary dinner.
37. Technology
Never really found a place in the Wizarding World, but the destruction that could be caused by modern guns intrigued him and, as such, he employed them with deadly efficiency after they broke into his house and took his dear.
38. Gift
Even though the bow was a (deliberately) obnoxious shade of orange, Tom enjoyed unwrapping his human sized, Harry shaped present.
39. Smile
It was odd, as a child, Toms smiles had been the stuff of nightmares, but now they only caused him to smile wider.
40. Innocence
Harry smirked as Tom queried where, exactly, he'd gotten a piercing.
41. Completion
Panty, sticky, smell, bloody, fucking sore and painful completion lulled them to sleep every night.
42. Clouds
"What do you mean 'you don't think that cloud looks like the Death Sta-', wait, you have seen Star Wars, haven't you?"
43. Sky
It was clear when the last battle was held, destroying any chance of a perfect fallacy, and Tom hated with every ounce of his being that it refused to reflect his displeasure at having to fight Harry.
44. Heaven
Forced back with the light, and the Order, pressured into a relationship with Ginny, Harry mourned the loss of his paradise with Tom, which he'd been enjoying until they'd snatched him back.
45. Hell
He never thought that he'd associate something so…light, with something so scary – Tom would be appalled at his naivety.
46. Sun
"And just what, may I ask, does the Sesame Street theme song have to do with basking in the sun and how in the name of Merlin did you get it stuck in your head, Tom?
47. Moon
"You be the moon, I'll be the space probe."
48. Waves
It was like waves against a rock, his grief, constantly wearing him down so, after he made sure that the wizards wouldn't fuck things up after he left, the pale, lithe figure went for walk – out into the ocean.
49. Hair
After the twenty third time (that's a lie, Harry had barely opened his mouth the first time and Tom was annoyed that Harry wasn't doing something more productive with it), Tom found the constant questions as to whether it was his real hair, and where did he go to to get such a spectacular toupee rather annoying.
50. Supernova
Their relationship did end rather dramatically – everyone pausing in the last, forced, battle to watch two 'enemies' duel – the kiss was as unexpected to the crowd as the treacherous Avada Kedavra that hit a distracted back.
