Ghosts (repost), Severus/OFC, 38/48
Rating: G – hard-R; this chapter R
Author’s Notes:

If you don’t know what this is, please read this.

Despite a recent tune-up, this was written in 2001 and is not compliant with the current state of the HP universe.

Your feedback and commentary are always welcome, even for a time capsule such as this.

You can find all chapters here.

If you’re looking for slash, het, poly, Book-6 compliant Slytherin backstory please visit the recently updated Fascilis Descensus Averno a WIP written with kalichan. It features Severus Severus, Lucius & Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix & Rodolphus Lestrange and Regulus Black and mostly takes place in 1979 – 1981 but has forays both significantly forward and back in time.
Disclaimer: It’s JKR’s world, I just mess about with it.

( Dumbledore was clever and Dumbledore was kind, but he was not so much gentle as people suspected. )

sneakers?

Talk to me about your favourite sneakers. Not from a fashion perspective; I've got that down (and I blame my time in Australia entirely). I need a new pair for this fencing business and I'm at a loss in terms of finding something that has some degree of flexibility but are sturdier than dance or yoga sneaks (and also aren't a hideous shade of green like these cute little Pumas I saw at DSW the other day).

Thnx.

Marie Antoinette, again

Listening to the soundtrack and reading coyotegoth's review of Marie Antoinette, I realized there's something else I want to say about it, back in that dying world vein of things.

There's a certain terror in it that small things, both as joys and terrors, will be forgotten. That comes entirely from Sofia Coppola and not the characters (of course, she is one of those directors with a personal story and a set of personal obsessions that effectively always makes her a character in her films), but it's a really astounding thing. Tremulous. The more I think about this movie, the more highly I want to recommend it, even knowing that most people won't like it or want to look at it as closely as one needs to, to find value in it.
