The Last Time

Severus Snape paced back and forth, back and forth. It was cold. The stars twinkled icily above. He could see his own breath frosting mistily in the still air. The cold didn’t bother him, though. He was used to it. His long black robes trailed through the dead leaves, making a rustling noise that was loud in the stillness. She’d said to meet her here. In the old forest where they’d used to go. They’d gone almost every day, before. Just to talk or to play or to pretend they were knights of old on a great quest to slay a dragon, like the characters out of one of her books. She never would agree to be the captured p

His cold, pale eyes look at me like I’m an insect. I’m of no importance to him; just another stupid little person in a stupid little world. But he’s brilliant. He’s a genius. He knows everything about me without needing me to speak a word. He’s clever. And brave. And sometimes he can be so funny. He’s got a smile like winter sunshine, surprisingly warm and bright, and as rare as a blue moon. When he smiles, everything shines. Yet he looks right through me. He has no idea how much I want him to notice me. If he speaks to me, I walk on air for the rest of the day. If he ever smiled at me... I wish he would

SERIOUS SPOILERS FOR THE REICHENBACH FALL AHEAD! CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK! You have been warned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ His eyes are closed. He can feel the wind blowing around him, leeching the warmth from his bones. He couldn’t resist sparing a moment to think how impressive he must look, his coat blowing around him, silhouetted against the sky. Funny, he thought, how the mind betrays you. It doesn’t want to face the facts. The data. The all-important and incredibly obvious truth... In the end, the mind betrays you. Is this what it’s like to be normal? Your mind constantly, almost purposely, oblivious of what is direct

Happily Ever After

I wish life were Like a storybook, With good always Triumphing, With heroes living "Happily Ever After". And no matter How many times Clouds threaten, The sun always Comes out before "The End". We say that "Cheaters never Prosper". But all too often They do. The wicked live "Vilely Ever After". The heros die, Evil triumphs, And clouds Bring rain. But there could be hope. May be evil doesn't Always win. Maybe the clouds will clear. Maybe, just maybe There can be a Happily Ever After.

I love words Long words Short words Used words New words So many I learn so many From the books I read, I devour I sometimes Think I live On words Printed words Spoken words Penciled words Words penned By great authors Yet sometimes My emotion Cannot be Summed up By mere words And I find Myself speechless Wordless From the many Words I know Not one sounds Fitting Correct Appropriate Right

Literature

The Heavenly Maidens

The moon is a huge lamp, carried by a black ship and tended by a girl. The moon-maiden knows she must cause the phases of the moon by gradually covering, then uncovering, the lamp. If she does not, Time will stop and all life will cease to exist. The stars are smaller lanterns, carried by girls in small, black boats. The star-maidens drift through the sky in their constellations, whispering to each other. Whispering, ever so quietly, lest some mortal happen to hear the faintest murmur of star-speak, for the language of the star maidens is too sweet for any mortal being to hear, and live. The star-maidens and the moon-maiden have si

My Bio

" Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. "
- Charles W. Eliot
=========================
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."
C. S. Lewis
==========================
An entirely rational world view completely without mysticism is an absurdity. -Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Prize for Physics, 1933
==========================
I don't remember where I got these but, anyway: "Of course, times change. Now, I'm just strange. A few hundred years ago, I'd be chased by mobs with pitchforks."
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."
==========================
And, of course, can't forget my all-time favorite quote by Snape:
"Ghosts are transparent."
==========================
The typist/author of this DevientID apologizes for any errors in spelling or grammar she may have made and for any confusion this may have caused.

Current Residence: Moncton, Canada
Personal Quote: "I am not amused" generally followed by "I object!"

Fanfiction and Insanity

0 min read

Something has happened to my brain. I had never finished a fanfic in life. Then I watched Sherlock. Suddenly I've finished two Sherlock minific-type things, started another Sherlock fic that looks to be much longer, and then Snape decided that he was tired of being ignored and now I'm writing a Snape fic. And this leaves me thinking... Aaand, what just happened?

Procrastination

0 min read

I'm an expert procrastinator. I'm avoiding working on one story that I know I'm supposed to be writing by working on two other stories, even though I actually do want to work on the first story. This doesn't make any sense, does it? :confused:

...And you didn't even miss me, did you? I'm puttering around DeviantArt again, after a rather long hiatus. I'm afraid to tell you how many zillions of deviantWatch messages I had. Anyway, I'm back!
