NOTES: for the omniocular February challenge. I chose #164 - Damascus; Syria. This virtually wrote itself. Al-'Arous, the Minaret of the Bride, is standing in Damascus as we write. I want to go and see it

ahhh

so nuanced, touching and terribly lovely.

Terribly sad as well, although the proverb sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else. *sighs*

Goodness. The gift buying is tear inducing. This is beautiful. I'd love to go to Syria with you.

His home had been in their hearts.

That and the end are just perfect. Absolutely perfect.

[eudaimon]

Thankyou very much (I am pondering happy RemusxSirius for you :b)

Delicate and lush and with that threadbare quality that is so Remus.

The description is beautiful - I espescially love the second last paragraph. It is just so heartbreaking.

[eudaimon]

Threadbare. Yes. That's exactly the feeling I was going for. Thankyou :)

This is beautiful. I love the details: the dove, the necklace, the fez, the things Remus finds in the rubble. They bring Damascus and the Potters' ruined house to life, make them both heartbreakingly real.

[eudaimon]

God is in the details :)

jazzypom recced this. It is simply stunning. It's spare but elegant, and the description just comes alive--I can see the necklace around Lily's neck, James wearing the fez, and Harry cradling the dove. So very beautiful.

[eudaimon]

Thankyou very much :)
