Drama

The Choices We Make

by Pearle

He was a fool to hold Hermione to her original promise. It was time to rectify that mistake. But it seemed fate, and Hermione had other plans. Can Severus learn to live with the choices he's made, even at the cost of his own happiness?

A/N: The story is written in drabble form, one hundred words per chapter. The brevity of the chapters forces the emotions to stand out sharply against the action. The first forty chapters were posted in the drabble collections – Round Nine through Fourteen. Since so many have asked me to post these as their own story, I've decided to compile them here. Originally written as a response to the GrangerSnape100 LJ challenge "Choices".

*** Chapters 125 to 136 are new with this posting ***

The Essence of Sunset

by shefa

My chambers are dark, lit only by the glow of the midnight moon.

The castle creaks with rawness of stone and antiquity of magic, filled with the power welling up from beneath the mountain and the fire of intention fuelled by our four vibrant streams of magic, combined.

It is nearly impossible to recognise this expanse of land from just six months ago: pristine grasses as far as the eye could see, cresting on a tidal wave of green, the shadow of grey stone a skeleton underneath. A spider’s web holding together an enterprise that, tonight, feels like folly.

I had expected to feel exultant.

This story is ten chapters, and complete. I will be posting one chapter every couple of days. :)
