Title: Halloween and the Magical Cupcakes
Rating: G
Warning: Serious fluff.
A/N: Oh my god oh my god ohmigod I can't believe I did this. *screams and runs away*
I think I'm the only person in the world who would associate Halloween with cupcakes. I'm talking about those six for $X.99 cupcakes supermarkets put out during the holidays, topped with disgustingly-colorful sickening-sweet crisco frosting and ugly marzipan. When you bite in one you wonder whether you're indulging or sabotaging yourself. But no, I don't. I love them. I love them being so hard-sell, so fake, so familiar and so sweet I smiled every time I saw them. I never bought them for myself, but I would buy them for younger kids who could still find happiness in supermarket cupcakes.
Now that there're no such cupcakes anywhere in Japan, I can finally miss them.
The original story has 60% less sugar. It has Hermione and Narcissa, and it's totally, completely, entirely different from what I ended up with. I blame this fic, which tore my heart apart and broke me into pieces. I needed to fluff up my story to ease the pain. (God have I missed out so many good writings. I really should have started shipping this ship many years ago.) Changing the story on the fly is definitely not a good practice, but I couldn't help it. :-( I also blame these girly songs. (I've been a long time fan of Delerium. Whatever they put out I'll buy.) But mostly I blame myself for being weak. Fluff is so not "in", I know, so as proposing with a ring being so cliche. I hope marriage is not a turn-off to you (at least not in real life).
Here it is. I hope you'd enjoy.

This is actually drawn for serpentinelion's H/D-O-Ween Halloween Fest. Hope it'd be okay to post this comic over there a month after posting it here. I thought about not posting it until Halloween, but it's either now or never. I know I will hate it after a while and then hide it from the world.
Let me know if anything is not clear to you. I suck at story-telling, and your suggestions would definitely help me suck less next time. Any comment on the text (typo, grammatical error, anything that doesn't sound right), the organization, the art itself... anything is welcome. Just don't tell me to change my style, 'cuz I can't.
:-)
