Challenge #89: The Death Scene

[goldenaurora85]

Title: No Other Way
Rating: PG
Pairing: I think it becomes a little obvious as it goes along...
Notes: Twenty-five minutes. First attempt at writing a death scene. It wasn't as hard to do as I thought it would be.
Credit: I stole one line of dialogue towards the end from Wuthering Heights and adapted it to fit ... just thought I should give Miss

Very bittersweet, scary yet at the same time, lovely.

Thank you! I think anything with TMR/LV in it has to be at least a little scary. :)

Well written and effective. I can't see Tom Riddle ever really caring about anyone other than himself, but I could see him choosing Minerva as someone appropriate for the image and life he was trying to create for himself. Nice piece. :)

I think the caring gestures of the TMR that strolled into my head & onto my computer screen for this one were more out of remembrance, maybe, than anything else. Thanks for reviewing - input's always appreciated!

Very nicely done! I kept trying to figure out who the characters were. Odd choice of pairing, but it fits.

In terms of morals and ethics, yes, definitely an odd pairing! :) Thanks for reading.

Well, fuck. Good. You know, Tom/Minerva seems very reasonable and intriguing to me. *wants backstory*

[goldenaurora85]

Thanks. It's an intriguing pairing to me too, and not something I see all that much of.

Wow.
Heartbreaking.
Not a pairing I've seen before, I think, but so wonderfully done.

Thanks so much!
