Like Wrecks of A Dissolving Dream

[mercury_rose]

The world's great age begins anew,

The golden years return,

The earth doth like a snake renew

Her winter weeds outworn:

Heaven smiles, and faiths and empires gleam,

Like wrecks of a dissolving dream.

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

He loses count of how many drinks he’s had tonight.

Getting pissed, becoming so inebriated that

This is an exceptional piece of writing! I've still got chills. I particularly liked the Malfoy piece, Andromeda's and the Weasley piece at the very end, but all of it is beautifully written and terribly evocative.

Lovely, lovely work! Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you! I mean, I'm sure she wasn't a nice person by any means, but we do have to consider that Sirius, as much as we love him, is biased about his family...and the woman lost her husband, and both of her sons really, in a very short amount of time, and anyone would feel grief and sadness and maybe it's not too much of a stretch to say a little regret?

I like to think Sirius and Andromeda (and her family!) kept in touch! I feel like the Black family is something that always kind of haunts you, and it would have been nice to talk to each other because they both understand and have had similar experiences. Obviously that's quite a bit of theorizing, but I think it works!

Anyway, thanks again, and I'm glad you liked it!

These are abaolutly wonderful and true to each of the characters. You do a great job at capturing them.
