February Recs Challenge, Day 13: HP Fic
I am accomplishing absolutely nothing this evening and loving every second of it. :-)
Do you remember I remember by emiime
Pairing: Frank/Alice
Rating: R
Warnings: Ouchy
Summary: There are some things that Alice remembers.
My Comments:
This is one of those fics where the author takes a risk and it pays off. There's no punctuation here, no linear narrative, just a pure stream of consciousness from Alice's poor damaged mind. It's the kind of thing that could turn into a total mess, but in emiime's hands it's haunting and lyrical, with its own sort of internal logic.
This is a sad fic, no question, but I am always struck by the snatches of joy in it, and by the love that has somehow survived the years, even if Alice and Frank's circumstances have irrevocably changed.
Excerpt:
I'm here put your head on my shoulder there it fits the same as it ever did but your hair is silver now against my shoulder silver like gum wrappers when did it change from brown my darling I don't remember it changing and it feels different now too it isn't smooth anymore but coarse and silver but beautiful still
Put your hand here on my knee oh Frank my darling my love
Come let me kiss you with my mouth on yours do you remember my darling we laughed and danced and kissed I kissed you and you kissed me and we kissed the baby oh the baby remember the baby Frank sometimes I forget he's Neville who comes to visit
If you enjoy, please leave the author some love!
