Fic: If We Are Ghosts... [Genfic]

May 04, 2006 13:44

This is a pinch hit I wrote for fourth_rose's wonderful springtime_gen exchange. I rejiggered this a little since this was first posted. I envisioned this fic as a ghost story because I've always loved Grimmauld Place's wonderfully creepy vibe, and have a times when I think too much about Sirus, pictured him turning into Jack Nicholson as he was in The Shining, holed up in ( Read more... )

fic, genre: gen

Wow, I likes this very much! It was sort of sad but happy at the same time, you know?

Brilliant!

Hm....This is definitely different than anything I've read --GOOD, but different. I like the ending because the reader doesn't want it to end there, but at the same time I don't like it because Harry is stuck in his dream. I don't know what to think....

Thank you for your comments:) I had a hard time coming up with a satisfactory ending for this. I played with a couple of ideas. One was more of a horror one, which was too confusing, I think, and this one.

This is absolutely brilliant. It kept me sucked in right until the last word, and my brain is still reeling.

Fandom needs more authors like you.

This is incredible. It's so wonderful the way that Harry just gets caught up in it and is sort of pulled along unknowingly, but in the end, he could be happier because he gets Sirius back even if he is only living a dream. I like the fact that he's stuck there because on some level, he will want to get out, to return to his friends and his life. But it would be so hard for him to leave Sirius behind again, even knowing it was only a dream. This fic sort of made my head spin at all the different ways it could have turned out, but it was in the best kind of way. :D

Thank you very much. I'm so glad you liked it. This was a challenging fic to write to say the least, and coming up with a satisfying ending was a big part of the challenge. So I'm very glad it worked for you:) And thank you for the rec. ♥
