Oh, this was really lovely :) Beautiful imagery, and such melancholy souls. I really enjoyed this !

thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!

I liked the idea of this story. It's easy to see two such troubled souls finding a bit of comfort in each other.

Thank you; yes, I'd like to think they have more in common than it seems on the surface.

Agh this was so lovely! Perfect use of the prompts as well. Thanks so much!

Lines I loved:

"But she could tell immediately that the silence was the sort you got in a building that has been completely empty for a long, long time."

"Over the gleaming waters, something moved steadily towards them, something white and glorious and shining, like a sail, or the steam of the Hogwarts Express as it escaped from the tunnel and into the brightness of an infinite September day."

And that Tonks had red/yellow/green rain boots.

Ooohh. I love the details here about the bits and pieces that collect in their limbo - so fascinating! And the end is really lovely. Actually, this is lovely overall. ♥

Thank you; I was a bit unsure about the ending and I'm glad it seems to work.
