[dr_fawkes]

Pairing: Lily/James

Author: Dr. Fawkes

Disclaimer: Yeah. Yeah. I’m J.K. Rowling, and I’m writing these one-shots because I’ve nothing better to do. And if you believe that, you deserve a special place in Mrs. Norris’s rice bowl.

Other Notes: This is a one-shot in a series called “CURTAIN”. (I wrote this ages ago, but I’m posting it late.)

Lovely as ever, DrF. Where's the rest of the series?

[ghostofbambi]

Oh, how beautiful!!

And suddenly, it strikes James with the intensity of a supernova, that they are alone on this forgotten beach, all alone beneath a lazy midsummer blue sky. They are all alone by the laughing sea, and she belongs to him.

I have no clear idea why I adore that part so much. If only I had your beautiful way with words, I could describe in detail just how captivating this was. Alas, I don't. I have the strangest affinity with the ocean, and I am thrilled at how you incorporated it into this story as if it were a character in itself, which I suppose it was.

I bow down and worship....

[dr_fawkes]

Ooh, yes. I adore and worship the sea as well. And thats a great way to put it..."The sea as a separate character itself".
Oh, my goodness! I'm all red with pleasure. Such lovely words...*Sighs dramatically* ^_^

I was talking to vea last night about the ocean and I remembered something my cousin Catherine once wrote in an essay about the sea. It is something I am intending to put into my own story... Girl... but I thought I would tell you.. see what you think. I emailed her tonight and asked her to send me the little thing she wrote

[dr_fawkes]

I couldn't possibly agree more with your cousin...And just like you, I happen to be obsessed with the sea. I spend hours on google, hunting for photographs of the sea. :D

I love that description of the Irish sea--
I especially love the Irish Sea. It is so wild and untamed, which is how I prefer it to be, crashing against the sand, caring for nothing or no one in an almost tenacious manner and roaring as if announcing it's presence. It gives me such a feeling of freedom.

I must go down to the sea again.

i love this.
i've been reading too many humour fics lately (shocking, i know... one would think you could never get too many) and this has been refreshing. kind of like that iced tea you get on a hot humid day in summer after swimming for hours... the sweet kind, not the bitter kind that actually tastes like tea.
oh dear. i wish i had your gift for words, because that sentence just came out all wrong... but i think you'll get it.
sweet and refreshing.

“I love you, Mrs. P.,” he says, his heart contracting painfully.

When i read that... my heart contracted painfully too. (collective "awww" at Dr. Fawkes' beautiful sentence above).
sniff.

*Shameless self-promotion*

[dr_fawkes]

"Sweet and Refreshing". Awww....Thank you! I love iced tea as well, though not plain (bitter) tea. ^_^

You like humour fanfics? Ditto for me.
Have you tried Beedaily's Commentarius? Its utterly hilarious.
Oh, and you can also try out my [L/J] fic "Memoirs of a Pixie" at this link-
