I woke up from a dream with this in my head as a response to jamie2109 and nocturnali's AWDT challenge. The prompt was "May the better man win".

Title: The Waiting
Pairing: HP/SS
Rating: PG-13
Length: 625 words
Warning: Character Death
Disclaimer: So not mine.

This is completely un-betaed, since I wanted to post it before the weekly challenge ended.

*sniffs* That was amazingly. *sniffs again* You had me sobbing there. Excellent work.

And I love your icon. :)

[daylyn]

Thank you so much. I was trying for that "desperate hopeless" feeling.

And the icon was made by samiamicons.

I KNEW I shouldn't read this! Knew it, knew it, knew it! Now my stomach hurts and it's no one's fault but my own. And this. Well done.

[daylyn]

Umm... thanks?

*offers you some Tums*

Glad you liked it.

(Someday, I really MUST write the Snarry epics that are in my head in which they don't die)

[igtow]

Yes, you must write them and I'll be the first in line to read them. And the stomach thing happens everytime I read a death fic--I usually avoid them, but seeing it was you--aned it was well done... I'm not certain tums will do the trick, fluff maybe, but thanks anyway.

[daylyn]

I love fluff. My favorite thing to read is angsty fluff. But it seems that I either write angsty death fics when I write by myself or outrageous humor parodies when I write with my co-author arrmaitee.

I do have (several) Snarry epics that have literally been in my head for about a year and a half. I seem to be suffering from a bad case of writer's block, though. But maybe... maybe... I can try and coax them out.

Glad you commented and I can't wait to read your next chapters.

Cheers.

*sniffle* So bloody sad.
Great work.
Thank you.

[daylyn]

Thank you.

This wasn't exactly a pleasant way to wake up, but I did feel compelled to write it.

Glad you liked it.

[sinick]

Brrr. Painful, poignant work!

Could I possibly tempt you into posting this at dead_potter_soc?

[daylyn]

Thanks.

And thanks for for tempting me. I've already posted it.

[daylyn]

Quick question. Does dead_potter_soc accept vampire fics?

I've got another poignant death fic that I wrote a while ago called A Cry in the Dark, but Draco's a vampire in that one.

Don't want to post the wrong type of story, so just let me know. Thanks.

[sinick]

Hmmm, tricky. I'm afraid I'm a little bit reluctant about vampire stories, because there's another community which focuses solely on that theme, and I think it's best when themed places stick to their themes.

Would you like to post "A Cry in the Dark" at hpvamp? It'd fit in perfectly there, and I'm sure they'll love it!

[percysowner]

That was lovely, I'm a sucker for a good death fic and this is a good one.

[daylyn]

Thank you. Glad I could provide you with some angsty death.
