Mourning Bride and Mulberry

{They bury her two weeks shy of her twenty-eighth birthday. Funeral flowers thread the air and it is only in death that Marlene McKinnon does not smell of ash}

Marlene McKinnon is a study in self-destruction, a fury of anger and disappointment. Gideon Prewett has loved nothing in his life like he loves this burgundy ruin

wow! this is dark! but it sets the tone of what a war is like! so sad that he didn't give himself the chance to be a little happy with her! and i love how you describe that in the most part the broke herself, she decided to sink herself in those vices instead of moving on, and yet in it, she found Sirius, which I would like to think gave her some sort of happiness!!

totally loved your piece!

Just beautiful. I love to see the original Order (or anyone for that matter) as real people. This was done so well. Kudos to you.
