dreamcatchingsReal update to come later.
For now, though, I saw this on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mizzmarvel's journal and thought I'd play, too.
In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the more fun it'll be, so go ahead, open your journal and help spread the fun!

Date: 2011-10-29 03:39 am (UTC)That should have been harder. It should have been impossible, but it wasn't. Impossible would have been not being in the same room as Al Sev. Impossible would have been not growing up with the boy who had caught his eye from that moment way back when at the train station.
Scorpius doesn't have a problem with the eyes and the stares and the whispers when he takes Al Sev's hand defiantly as they walk down the hall. The looks and the talk make Al Sev nervous, he knows. His love isn't a Malfoy, after all. He's a Potter so he's used to adoration and none of the other, none of the scorn.
Scorpius will take all the scorn and meet them with his brave, smiling, beautiful face. You can't expect someone's expectations to change overnight. Let Al Sev pay attention to him, and he'll be a shield to keep away all the bad things until the rest of them have learned what Al Sev figured out so long ago: Malfoy doesn't have just one definition.

Date: 2011-10-29 03:53 am (UTC)Paige is always a little separate, distant. The hesitancy isn't new. Sam remembers it from when she was younger and small, tucked into a corner, giant book balanced on her thin knees, reading. Always reading. As though all those words, all those pages could carry her away somewhere.
He knows that they would've if things hadn't become what they did. Mutant or not, Paige would have gotten herself outta Kentucky, away from home and the hills and the coal and everything. Away from their dead daddy and broken brother and everything.
Sam used to think she resented the rest of them, but he's knows better now. It took him a while. He's not as fast on the uptake as she is, after all. He gets it now, though. She's spent so long looking forward, reaching for the future, that she's not sure how to look back, how to be home.
He's not sure how to fix it, how to reassure her that she's fine. They're all fine. They love her no matter where she is or what she's doing or if she leaves them behind in leaps and bounds. Sam doesn't know how to say all that to her. So he just loves her and musses her hair and makes sure to include her. And hopes it's enough.

Date: 2011-10-29 04:06 am (UTC)He can't go see her. Not even for one moment. If she sees him, if she remembers, there will be nothing of her. It will end her to remember him. And he cannot stand the idea of the world being without Dona Noble.
He can barely deal not having her with him. How much harder would it be if he knew that she was nowhere.
Maybe it's part of the reason he was so drawn to Amy. The red hair, the spunk. Sometimes she reminds him of Donna.
He misses Donna, but he cannot allow himself to miss her because his new face means that he might be able to get away with seeing her. He cannot allow himself those thoughts. They're dangerous.
So he allows himself to want to be a ginger, and be one of Amy's boys. It's all right. For now it's enough.
