Searching for Shadows
Following Embracing Shadows

We’re lost.

I survey the surroundings from the hilltop. It’s impossible to try and see beyond this thick mist and grey landscape. I can’t remember the last time I saw something this depressing. We’ve wandered too far from camp. I wonder how the rest of Hogwart’s population fares.

You appear at my side and offer me half an apple. “Our rations are running low.”

I feel your other hand linger over the back of my neck with your fingertips barely brushing my hair.

I turn and shiver as your fingers stroke across my throat. “We need to find the others.”

This didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped. I think it may be that these drabbles are slowly giving birth to a plot...

Indeed.
It was well written, but just doesn't give the same effect as the others. It seems kind of incomplete to me...I know it's supposed to be short, but it's kind of awkward.
Just my opinion on the matter.

I have to agree with you there. This one didn't turn out the same way as I hoped. *sigh* I may just eliminate this one completely when I post this series. Don't think editing would do much for it at this point...

I do admit, I didn't like it as much as the others, but it's still worth keeping, just perhaps not in the context of this story-arc-thing.

Yes. You must feed my wartime/Snarry obsession.

[alecto-chan.livejournal.com]

I suppose it would be good news to you then that a wartime plot bunny has been given birth to in the process and won't freaking go away?

[stellahobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes! It is my one true kink! You must write it....

Plllleeeaaassseeeee

(can you tell I'm excited?)

[alecto-chan.livejournal.com]

Lol. I'm not sure if I really can take on this project but I actually just wrote up the first few introduction paragraphs. Maybe I should post it to see how it sounds like so far...

[alecto-chan.livejournal.com]

I have to leave for Pittsburgh now so I won't be getting your reply for another day or two. I posted that intro for you just in case. It's the most recent entry in my journal.

You are so utterly, indescribably wonderful. I can't wait to see more of this!

You flatter me. I will never be as "utterly, indescribably wonderful" as you. xD
