Songfic for Trickie Woo, who suggested it. When Snape drops something off for Xeno Lovegood, Luna asks him in for a conversation.

Reviews for Baby, it's Cold Outside
I love the tension and teasing -- it's wonderful how Luna persues, unrelentingly, the object of her affection and how Severus, gives in to her intentions - really wonderful dynamics!
Tantalising play and interweaving with this song and our beloved Luna & Severus! Thank you!
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
This actually started as a completely different pairing with a different dynamic altogether. Then Trickie Woo asked what if Luna was the eager one. I went to youtube and found a delightful cover of the song from the movie Neptune's Daughter that gave me the inspiration for Luna. Then it was just a matter of controlling the giggles enough to type. I hope this isn't too much answer! Thank you very much for the lovely review!
Very cute. :)
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
So cute! Thanks for this warmth. His reluctance was very sweet, and I'm glad he caved in the end.

Thank you for the review! He may have been looking for a reason to cave in, LOL.

Thank you for the review, and I hope your Christmas has been merry, as well!
so cute, He is the one who needs to be talked over.and she does it. !!well done!
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
Thank you! In some pairings, he's definitely the predator. With Luna, I think he tries to be aloof until he finds himself pouncing almost before he realizes he's attracted, LOL. Thank you for the review!
An interesting parallel - as his damp and steamy cloak becomes dry, she becomes damp and steamy.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
LOL! I hadn't noticed that... it's probably an apt description! Thank you for the review!
Lol I have to admit I had plans to do something similar with that song and our dear Severus, but I haven't had the time yet...I love what you have written!
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
Actually, this is the second one I've written with him; the other is a different pairing. I can see him in a great many similar situations, on both sides of the duet. Anyhow, I hope you go ahead and write yours! Thank you for the review!
I adore this! You have Luna so completely spot-on, it's as if you hid in her mind for a bit. And the encounter is just charming; such awkwardness only Snape and Luna would manage, and yet so filled with gentleness. It was a delight to read!
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
Squee! It's an honor to get a review from you! LOL, some of Luna's more awkward characteristics are all too familiar to me, fortunately or unfortunately. Even Snape would tread delicately until he's captured, perhaps not so much in spite of himself. Thanks for the review!
Clever turns of phrase for a clever pair. I love the Ravenclaw references from both sides. I like that Sev made an effort in preparation, though he didn't seem to want to admit it even to himself.
Response from Rose of the West (Author of Baby, it's Cold Outside)
Thank you! Yes, he made preparations, although he'll never admit it. It's such a clever song to begin with that this pair slid right in.
