Title: where love is the basis of all things Ship: R/Hr, R/G Rating: PG Word Count: ~660 Warnings: light/implied incest Summary: She knows you still have those dreams, where the sky is black and the war doesn't end.
Awwww, I like this! I really like the dream-reality and the haze of after-war. This has such a nice melancholy tone to it! And I am especially fond of this line: Everything is upwards.
One thing, though, this is from Ron's POV, right? Because I think there is a waffle in iii. with Ron drops the plastic pitcher of juice and his plate is filled with orange liquid. Or am I just getting confused? :P
It's funny--Ron/Ginny is my car-crash ship. It makes me go Ewwwwwww.... but I read the silly things. XD
And this one isn't really Ron/Ginny... till the last two paragraphs. But the last paragraphs...!
This is so sad and lovely, and poor Ron and Ginny are soooo wounded...
And the ending is wonderful, language and thought, but...
Car crash. XD
Hey! And very ambitious trying out the second person PoV! It generally works best with a narrator character who is highly alienated. Which Ron certainly is here.
(It also does a wonderful job of hiding the narrator's identity until that car-crash bit. Hee.)
Haha, I'm amused by your comment, for a couple of reasons.
First, I tend to do this thing where I intentionally obscure the identity of the protagonist until somewhere a ways into the fic, so I always have an appreciation of others doing it as well, but second, and either amusingly or disturbingly depending on your point of view: when the protagonist is obscured, but Ginny is obviously involved with the protagonist, I sort of just assume it's Ron from the beginning.

I love Ron/Ginny because it's so forbidden, and so many metaphors can be used and parallels drawn, and it's so angst-ridden and dark..!
I also love second person, simply because I happen to think in it a lot of the time. XD Seriously. I think in second-person POV.
But I'm glad you read and thought it was lovely, even if R/G is your car-crash ship. :)
