A short-short piece for the Idyll challenge! I'm putting it on LJ first since I'm counting it for my daily post, will go on AO3 shortly. It doesn't entirely qualify because they didn't want to leave the library, but I have pillaged Tennyson to make up for it! :P No warnings, not adult.

So lovely, and the pillaging of Tennyson was the perfect compensation.

I need a POI icon but I haven't found any, and I have no such skill. So I'll leave you with H-50, pardon.

I really loved it. So peaceful. ♥

This was so lovely! Peaceful and atmospheric.

<3 <3 <3 I've always wanted a story where they're surrounded by candles in the library during a blackout, and this makes me so happy!

Where? Where? Where? *hanging-head-in-shame* I must be having one of my exceedingly dumb days, but where is the link to the vid? I've checked here, and the Idyll challenge page, and A03 - and not seen it anywhere. But clearly it is somewhere, since everybody else has watched it - and now I know it's lovely, and happy-making, and what-not, but I can't watch it...*solitary-tear-hanging-on-an-eye-lash*

hm, I think you may have misread -- it's not a vid, it's just a short story, and it's right here on this page. :) It's behind the cut-tag on this post.

Oh, man, I told you, exceedingly dumb day! I have no idea how my brain went to vid - on re-reading it it's totally clear it's not a vid. For some reason I thought the 'long part under the heading' were vidding notes and didn't want to read them until I'd seen the vid.... *tomato-head*

And what a lovely story I'd missed out on - I loved this from beginning to end. Perfect scene setting, and really homely. I really like the atmosphere you created, and how the things that are not being said still are 'there' and give the story a real emotional depth. I have to admit, I read this just as much as emotional hurt/comfort as as idyll.
