Here's a little something I've been working on in spare moments.

Title: Afterthoughts
Author: lyras
Summary: Tonks gets a few things off her chest.
Word count: Just under 1,000.
Rating: R for sexual references and language.
Pairings/characters: Remus/Tonks with past Remus/Sirius. Teddy.
Notes and warnings: Afterlife fic. Punctuation/grammar abuse. I'm not really sure where this came from. Constructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated.

Date: 2007-08-29 15:42 Subject: Fic: Touch the Face of the Stars (Lily) Security: Public Music: Dante's Prayer - Loreena McKennitt Tags: alice, dumbledore, fic, gen, james, lily, sirius

Title: Touch the Face of the Stars
Author: Lyras
Rating: PG-13 for adult themes
Characters: Lily, James, others of that generation
Warnings: Character death
Summary: Lily tries to work out what is worth living - or dying - for. This story inevitably contains some Lily/James, but it is essentially gen.
Notes: Gift for such_heights as part of hp_summergen, now updated to be DH-compliant (ie there are spoilers within). Just under 7,000 words long.

The title and the last two section headings are taken from the Loreena McKennitt song 'Dante's Prayer'. The section heading 'Care for them and help them take their place' comes from the Anglican baptismal service. Some dialogue is quoted from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Thank you to pasi for beta-reading at short notice!

I wanted to upload Dante's Prayer by Loreena McKennitt to go with this story, because it was inextricably linked with the writing process. But for various technical reasons, I can't. I highly recommend it, anyway! ETA: Download link provided by the ever lovely such_heights!

I wrote this story for an exchange, and I love it, far more than you're supposed to love your own stuff. In a 'kill your babies' sort of way (as in, you should consider cutting any part of your story that you really love, just in case that comment alarms anyone!).

Anyway, it was written pre-DH, so I'm going to take it on the plane with me today and work out what I need to do to make it DH-compliant, and then hopefully it'll get posted on Monday or Tuesday.

Can anyone tell me once and for all what colour the Death Eaters' masks are? The last time I researched this on the Lexicon, I ended up going with white, but now I'm worried that that was wrong. Should they be black? (I always thought they were black until the fourth film came out.)

I also have a theoretical question which is under a cut, because it contains a small spoiler for DH. ( That secret-keeping business. )

Notes and warnings: Written for fauxkaren as part of the dh_predictions game. This means it contains hefty DH spoilers.
