Dreamers (dogdaysofsummer Day 22)

Jul 24, 2006 18:46

Title: Dreamers
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine :(
Words: 1264
Prompt: eggs and bacon, pickled walnuts and cheese
Summary: Below Alderley Edge, Cheshire, July, 1979. I've drawn on both the legend of the wizard of Alderley Edge and, for supplementary details, on that of the sleeping warriors of Craig-y-Dinas

( The night was warm and resonant around them, humming with the taste of old magic, stirred up like pollen on the breath of the wind. )

The last bit makes such a lovely picture.

Thank you :) I felt like writing something very rich and visual.

Thanks for commenting :)

I love fics that illustrate this side of Sirius; he's more than just hot and full of amusing antics, after all. :)

Well, they are wizards, and sometimes it's fun to explore that side of things.

Thanks for the comment :)

Mmmmm. I can't resist such legends, or your rendering of them into S/R terms. Delightful.

I'm mainly an Arthurian geek, but all of the sleeper myths fascinate me. I couldn't pass this one by.

Is there anyone who isn't secretly an Arthurian geek? I kind of felt the sleeper myths were tied to Arthur anyway because of The Dark Is Rising series by Susan Cooper.

Now he cried out, his voice echoing across the sky, and dived down, through the galloping ghosts.

What a perfect, vivid line! And this is a gorgeous fic: dreamy and beautifully written.

Um, I've been meaning to friend you since, I have a horrible feeling, dogdaysofsummer last time around, so I think it's time I stopped procrastinating! Hope that's OK :).

Thank you. I love the old myths and it's always fun to try to link JKR's wizards into wider myths.

If it's any comfort I didn't join in until scarvesnhats last year. Lovely to have you along for the ride. :)
