Oh God, that's beautiful. Poor Regulus, that last line is just a killer. Such a clever idea and perfectly carried off. :)

I've been meaning to do this for a while, as I'm convinced that Regulus must have had someone with him when he got the Horcrux from the cave. I've read a lot of "after the cave" fics but not actually who went with him. Can't be Sirius, (unless Sirius is lying to Harry about his brother's death) could have been Snape I guess. However I like to imagine this - which is probably balderdash.

Thank you so very much - I haven't written anything for ages it seems and this came from nowhere. So glad you liked it, and my reply has been longer than your comment. sorry./ramble.

Thank you so much. Although it is a little mad like Tuckoo. Don't know where it came from, just got "must write or burst" this afternoon.

You say the loveliest things.

It wasn't Joyce that I thought of while reading. More like Dylan Thomas, particularly Under Milk Wood.

a tattoo of skin, like drums in the fathoms of his sin-drenched-soul, and Down to the dark where the souls never sleep, down to the salt, down to the bone - salt in the blood - salt in the semen, and and the shaking, the strength of the shudder in the echoing nothing in particular really resonated Dylan Thomas at me. I think it's the alliteration. And all the sssss's!

Gosh - I'm staggered. I don't know DT very well, my sister was a big fan, and I always went the opposite way to her, but obviously he's a god, so I'm extremely flattered.

Thank you darling.

I don't think I can phrase precisely how wonderful this is - all I can say is that you are truly a wordsmith. The rhythm this story has is impeccable - I'm having an proper English-induced orgasm right now. Brilliant.

*happy grin*

Thank you very much. I think that's the first time I've induced that reaction in someone! Very happy you liked it.

Ooh, that's so beautiful. Gorgeously written. I love your take on canon. It sounds really plausible, given what we know about Lucius. The ending slayed me. Poor, poor Regulus. It was so moving.

[underlucius]

Thank you so much! It's probably the most "out there" piece I've done for ages, but I'm very happy the comm isn't falling around laughing.

Thank you so much for commenting, always appreciated, a lot!

Oh GOD! *heart breaks* Just when I think I can't possibly fangirl you any more... *sobs* Where do you get it from? How do you take a pile of words and put them together in such a way?

His fingers beat the words in a tattoo of skin, like drums in the fathoms of his sin-drenched-soul. His mouth trails the words; silver salt in a groan which echoes and fractures into others.
How?! It's just so unbelievably fucking beautiful GAH! You KILL me, woman. *clings to your feet*

[underlucius]

Don't tell anyone, but I makes it up as I goes along. shhhh.

Thank you so much sweetie. *hug*
