A/N: Happy birthday, alisanne! This is my little gift for you, my dear!

“Papa, I know what Daddy bought for you!” said seven-year-old boy with green eyes and raven hair.
“Oh, do you?” said Severus.
“Yes! But I think it is not a good birthday present. Not for you.”
“Why not?”
“Because you are not a girl, Papa” said Nathaniel and rolled his eyes.
“Oh. So what is it?” asked Severus.
“A skirt!” said boy.
“A skirt?”
“Yes! See, it’s not a good present. What would you do with a skirt?”
“Don’t worry, I will think about something” said Severus.
Nathaniel didn’t say anything. Sometimes his fathers were more weird than Aunt Luna.

"Sometimes his fathers were more weird than Aunt Luna."

OMG! You wrote a 100 drabble! :D Welcome to snarry 100's, myk! :)
I sincerely hope that, now that you've become a fellow writer, you'll keep posting more of your lovely stories for all of us to enjoy. *bats outrageously fake eyelashes hopefully* Pretty please?...

Now that I've got that much off my chest let me get on with my actual review of your story: First of all the title is absolutely spot on for your theme. I loved how sweetly naive little Nathaniel came across.

It was surprising to realize that the skirt was a gift to Severus and not the other way around, since I don't recall ever seeing Severus wearing 'the skirt'. His reaction to the news was also spot on. He doesn't even bat and eyelash, does he? and his comment about finding some use for it was so IC that it made me laugh. I absolutely adored Nathaniel's parting thought, the one linking his parent's odd behavior with Luna's wackiness... ;D

All in all this story was adorably domestic, really cute with the presence of Nathaniel and deliciously naughty in a playful sort of way. It left me smiling from ear to ear, my friend. Well done, myk. Well done indeed. :)

Hello, pekeleke, this time it's me who thank you for lovely comment :) I'm so glad that you liked it, I was a bit worried that it's not good (after reading yours works or alisanne or... you know what I am talking about, don't you?), especially that I think than my English is still not good enough (too much tenses!).
I'm happy that Severus is IC, it's a bit hard to write him. Well, this skirt is for Severus, yes, but you are right, Severus won't be wearing it. It's like women buy something for their men.
And yes, I'll write more drabbles x) and maybe even longer fics, but hush!
Hugs,
myk

I think you worry too much about your fluency in written English. It's not as bad as you probably think, you know? I can't find fault with this drabble, for example. :)

I'm so happy that you are planning on writing more, myk. I really liked the gentle naughtiness of your piece and I think you have a lot to offer us as an author. You shouldn't compare your own unique style and view of the boys to anyone else's. I'd be really boring if all of us wrote the same sort of things with the same style. For example: I'd have never even dreamed up this skirt scenario of yours, but I absolutely adored reading about it. So... don't worry so much and just write whatever comes to mind. I honestly believe that having fun is the best foundation to write wonderful snarry. :D

Take care for now, my friend,

Hugs

I promise I will write more, for you :) It could take some time because my fiance, dog and I are moving to Scotland this month and I'm a bit busy. But Scotland means more English practice so I could write more. I'm a bit perfectionist and when I think that my English is not bad this means not perfect and well... But I'm so happy that so many people thinks that this drabble was good so I can write more :)
Hugs,
myk
