Ten Prompts in Search of Their Authors (E.T.A.)

[iulia_linnea]

Part of my writing process, when I can't get any writing done, is to write random prompts. Here are ten, which you should feel free to take. If you do take one, please post your result (or, if it's long, a link to it) in comments. (I'll update this post to reflect your offering.)

I'm not a writer, but here it is anyway... *blushes and hides behind the bushes*

"He could have died."
"But he lived."
"He was ready for it."
"But he lived."

And that was that. He didn't die, he lived and everyone was happy. Except Harry, it seemed. He didn't find it particularly moving one way or other, but it seemed that everyone around him was celebrating and he felt oddly guilty for not taking part in it. He didn't die, he lived, and all the while he dreamed of what could have happened.

Harry sounds depressed and not all that stable. Hope he's not suicidal. . .
Interesting story. Thanks. :)

[el_payasito]

Thanks. Yeah, that's my Harry: slightly mental and angsty and very emo. But then there's always Severus to help him through his depression and all's happy that isn't sad... :D

Come out!

You know, I imagine it will be hard for Harry to adjust after he defeats Voldemort. This captures that difficulty very well; I'm glad you played. :)

Thank you. I imagine so too. Just in comparison, we made a community as a suprise Christmas gift for a friend in other fandom. After we had given it I felt so empty and un-purposeful. (*sniff*). If I felt like that after such a little thing, I can't imagine what it'd feel like after ridding the world of evil...
