Vignette fic, R/D

[thrihyrne]

I think that these past few days being a primary assistant caregiver to my grandfather have really rubbed off on me. I wrote this yesterday while watching him do his workout with a personal trainer he has at a nearby healthcare facility.

Not sure that it even warrants a title.
edit: Now titled 'Home, Despite it All

This was lovely :) It's a beautiful little follow-up to the "Ties that Bind" a story I enjoyed mightily! More feedback for that soon, promise!

[thrihyrne]

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the wee story, and I'm again very pleased you liked "The Ties that Bind." Any feedback is graciously accepted, whenever it's given. ;)

Love your icon, too. I'll feel like so much less of a perv when Rupert's legal, y'know?!

*sighs happily and gives hugs and smooches to Thevina*

Off to work now, but boy do I feel better about going.

I'm pleased that I've given you a happy smile for the morning!!

**smooches and hugs back and hopes you had minimal traffic**

So poignant! I especially like Draco's "You've been better than a father to me since my childhood." *sigh*

Thank'ee very much, especially coming from you, my angst-loving friend… this was my first attempt even to incorporate any of the new canon, albeit obliquely. Glad you enjoyed the ficlet.

(((hugs, and really misses you)))

Thanks so much!! I'm glad that you and eldritchhobbit are fans of my Snape portrayals. I do tend to injure him a lot, unfortunately. Or kill him. Whoops. ;)

oooh, really like your Snape. for all the damaged folks that this short fic has in it, I found it a heartening piece of writing. things happen, people cope, and there are surprising actions from those we thought we knew.

after reading this and your RW/DM story, you've made me think of the way I characterise Draco as essentially and always a selfish and impatient soul who is consistently undemonstrative. *goes off to check own biases*

I'm so glad you liked it! I do love writing some disgruntled Snape; for some reason, it seems to come easily. But I'm also pleased that you didn't find this cloying; it was my fear, despite it being so short.

And hey- that's just my interpretation of how Draco could be. Canon!Draco wouldn't do this, I don't think, although in HBP he is revealed to be showing some intense emotions, so maybe something like this isn't out of the question. It's author's perogative, after all… I enjoyed writing the "Degrees of Burning" series mostly for the imagery; I wouldn't actually see Remus immolating himself. But for the sake of The Author going full tilt with flame images, well, it had to happen.

Nice icon- that 'tis yarn, yes? Who's Arnold??

lol. Ms Thevina - have you read your HBP? :)

Arnold is the pygmy-puff critter Ginny Weasley takes to Hogwarts in HBP. The icon is made by none other than the art/brain-heavy euclase. I love it.

re author's perogative and characters - my version of canon!Draco is a tad frozen in his teenage persona, I realise. but I suspect that I like him that way. *g*
