Title: Gone Grey Author: Lady Altair Rating: PG Summary: If you'll be color, I'll see nothing else. Characters/Pairings: Seamus Finnigan/Lavender Brown
This was lovely! I really liked Seamus's POV voice, all the things he wanted to hear from Lavender but couldn't. I also like how you frame Lavender from Seamus's eyes -- everything he wants from her is so very canon.
He wants her to flutter, to be girly and impractical and flighty and silly and lovely, but she’s too weighted down, they’re all too weighted down; it’s hard enough to move when they need to, there isn’t the room for hair tossing and passing notes written in glittering purple ink and that lovely rose-pink ribbon she used to wear in her hair...
That right there, oh yes! Such a lovely picture of canon!Lavender, and so plausible in DH that that girl is no longer around. Marvellous!
Wonderful! Lyrical, insightful and aching but with a bit of color and therefore hope in the ending. This enchanted me:
His hands frame her face in a way that feels awkward, but that he saw in a romance film one of his muggle cousins made him go with her all the way to Galway to see. It looked romantic, and he wants to give Lavender any scraps of a fairy tale he can scrounge together.
as did this, of course:
She wears the rose-pink ribbon in her hair the next day and calls him impudent when he sneaks a kiss after breakfast. It’s not nothing, especially as the backdrop goes grey.
