Wow, this was gorgeous from start to end. Such vivid imagery and beautiful language, and so much of their character expressed through drinks. Amazing <3

[perverse_idyll]

Thank you for the kind words! The imagery had to stand in for my usual rambling about what everyone's thinking and feeling, so I'm glad it worked. And I quite enjoyed researching the right drinks.

I was originally going to title this "Cider for Afters" because that's the drink Minerva finished with, alone, but I'd used up my word count by then.

Both spooky and beautiful. Wonderful Halloween tradition: a healing drink with friends. I love your way with words.

Thank you! <3 I wanted that mixture of eeriness and sorrowful affection - a touch of the holiday and a touch of if-only. And I'm delighted you like my words! Keeping them to 200 and not a word more was an interesting form of torture. :D

Ouch. Well done.

[perverse_idyll]

Thank you! 'Tis the season for ghostly regrets.

Thank you so much! I think Minerva would miss them terribly but only indulge her regrets in their company.

What a great concept. Cheers, Minerva and friends!

[perverse_idyll]

Aw, thank you. I imagine Minerva would have a lot to say to both of them, not all of it good, but in the end a bit of tippling and the urge to forgive would win out.
