This is lovely. Dark and moody and so very Tom.

Oh, thanks so much! (I had more trouble writing him than I thought I would.)

I love the Judith and Holofernes reference. Nicely done.

Thank you - for some reason Judith's story is one of my biblical favorites, in art and in general.

Anyway, thanks for reading & reviewing!

It's mine too!

It's not very often that people use literary references in their fics, so I was happy. :-)

Very creepy and very Tom. Love it.

Thanks :)

Love the mood you create here, with both your wording and character development. When I saw the interpretation, I thought for sure you had done Severus, but Tom worked very well - one of my favorites so far!

[apricot_bath]

I initially was going to do Severus, actually, but the HBP-Tom scenes gave too many ideas to resist :)

Thank you, for reading and reviewing!

This is really excellent. You've got Tom completely captured and bottled, and I love the abstract language you used in the beginning.

Thank you!
