That is a very extreme response to the meant-to-be-horrific Ron/Hermione fluff. Very disturbing imagery, indeed.

Well done!

[duniazade]

I think it's really a preferable fate...

Thanks!

Hee It seems Severus is not to be thwarted in death or love.

[duniazade]

Of course not! :D

*squee* I love you for this! :D

We're doing such a fine job of being cruel for Christmas. *hugs fellow Death Eater*

You're the queen of horrible! I suspect the Dark mod will be very pleased.

[duniazade]

Hee! Thanks. I hope so!

urrrrrrrrrrgh...

okay, well-written. Very, very unexpected but that's my fault for skipping the rating on the basis of what bad thing could possibly happen in a drabble. Describing Snape's voice as silky... makes sense, but I've read it too often. Sorry.

Right, and skinning Ron. Oh dear gods. Complete with rivulets of blood. As a horror story it works great, it caught me totally by surprise and the descriptions are very evocative (don't I wish they weren't) with no purple prose. The second to last line creeps me out like whoa which is really hard to do.

Oh, and I love the icon. I practically read the drabble as an afterthought which explains skipping the ratings which explains my "what in ...?" reaction. Really good horror story, caught me totally by surprise. If there's a follow-up, I'll read it. Very carefully.

Oh, it was a sort of bad taste humour contest between us - trying to horrify each other by upturning/using HGSS clichés. I swear to you that Irish's drabble was far more terrifying, at least for me!

Thank you and sorry for the eurgh factor.
