Word Count: 1985
Summary: Voldemort has won the war, and he held the Trio captive, tortured, poisoned, broken.
Warnings: Dark, angst, blood.
Author Notes: Written for darkones's challenge: Unhappy Endings, Beta-ed ultra fast by the lovely why_me_why_not, and crossposted to omniocular.

( There’s a leak somewhere on the ceiling, and a drop of oily water with rainbows of forgotten happiness splashes on the hard floor exactly four and a half inches from where Harry’s head rests (he’s counted)... )

Holy McJesus Christ.

That was so rivetting and so powerful. Good lord. I love the way you wove language through this. Utterly beautiful ♥

Thank you so much! Woving language... That sounds so incredible, and I am so very flattered :)

This is some messed up shit.

And I mean that in the BEST sort of way possible, because it was DISTURBING AS HELL, and also BEAUTIFUL and DEVASTATING and HEARTBREAKING.

Brilliant work. Omg. Keep writing. ♥!!

*blushes* Thank you! I was aiming for those two things, make it disturbing and yet not; and it's nice to see I succeded.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

(And oh, but your icon rocks!)

That bloody *hurt*! A brilliant, frightening and throat-tightening-in-anxiety piece that wasn't a pleasure to read (quite the opposite), but I'm pretty sure you didn't intend it that way :). Scared me like all get out. Wonderful, vivid writing too. I won't forget this in a *long* time! Thanks!

nekare December 30 2005, 19:40:58 UTC

Oh, yes, I intended it to hurt *wicked smile* Thank you so much!

*whimpers quietly* I have to breathe first... uhnn... hell... I wanted to cry... It's darkbeautifulACHINGlysadHOPELESSlyevocativesosoincrediblyincredibleandmorepainfulthanpainitselfisohwoah.

Your first line is like a slap across the face.

The words you chose are rhythmic and poetic and dark and absolutely crushing. The pictures. The non-pictures, because everything is dipped in darkness, the feelings.

Those little sequences are heart-wrenching.

Hermione screaming when Ron dies, the baby she'll never see again, Harry's goodbye.

So heavy. Rip you away like a fire storm. And yet so quiet, so intense.

Really, I am deeply impressed by this - yes, revolted and moved, but that comes naturally and was probably the intention. I say Damn Good Job and I mean it.

*blushes* Oh, lord I just adore your comments :)

You won't believe the amount of first lines I tried, and then that one just clicked, and it just hurt my very sould, as it's the first time I've ever killed a character. *smooches Ron*

And yes, revoltion, just what I was aiming for. Actually, your entire comment sums up just what I wanted this to be, so I'm so, so very pleased it came up that way.

And now I'm off to read your latest story, since I didn't have time yesterday!

moonix December 31 2005, 09:32:42 UTC

Ah, I know what you mean with the first-line-that-clicked. That's a wonderful experience, isn't it? When you finally feel as though you've got it.

(Ron is sulking, by the way. He's been hiding behind my back for ages and won't come out until he gets a kiss from - what was that, dear? Harry or Hermione? Oh, right, Hermione, of course, yeah, sorry, how could I even think that... haha... *pats*)

nekare December 31 2005, 18:04:03 UTC

Oh, Ron you poor thing. Go on dear, you won't be mauled anymore, I promise. A kiss, you say? Oh, I can arrange that, R/Hr fluff is just what my muse needs this moment, anyway. *pats too*
