The fog here seems to be alive. It is twisting and turning around itself like an endless transparent dragon. Today the fog just rolled down into the place I lived, flowing right over the edge of the drop-off. I love how fog mutes sound and makes me feel like I am the only living breathing thing on this planet. I love the shivers I get when I hear something within the fog, but I have to wait until it reveals itself to my mist-clouded eyes.

Okay. So. Tonight I feel like linking to an older fic I wrote. Sorry guys, not H/D this time. This one's about Lily. One of my first.

I have been told this is a bit AU in one spot, but... eh...

And the green consumes...

I'm saving this to read tomorrow. Too sleepy now, but I can't wait to read your Lily. *hugs*
Night, night.

Always meant to read this one, never got around to it.

Inarticulate mutterings that sound something vaguely like "wow" but are really just a stupid gibberish that cannot describe how good that was. How very dark that the death curse is actually warm fuzzy and some what enjoyable.

Really loved it. Don't know why I didn't read it a long time ago.

You just killed me. My heart is somewhere on the floor, there are tears pouring out of my eyes, and I can't swallow this pain in my chest away.

I have never read anything like this from Lily's POV before. The style spun like the river of green and I couldn't look away.

What touched me most was the timelessness of it all. There are so many words and images, and yet we know it's all happening in a split second.

The memory flashes, real and blurred, were so powerful. I've never had a sister, but my heart just broke for Lily when she couldn't share the moments of her life with the one person she had loved so dearly. The pride and love she felt for Harry was so beautiful.

I still haven't stopped crying.

I loved the mention of regret when it came to Snape, and the confession of liking James. wow. This was a painting of so many colours, and all of them green.

I love you for writing this.

oh my.. I do not know how I managed to skip over this one yesterday, thanks to frulie for suggesting it.

I absolutely love the sadness without ever being sad, the way it sort of runs between what is real and what Lily wished for in her deepest dreams. And the letter to Severus.. Oh! my heart!

Beautiful (as always)!
