Beautiful, utterly beautiful!! And so sad. IwillnotcryIwillnotcryIwillnotcryI....*sobs*

[princessjessia]

*snuggles* Awww don't cry, I made it all better!!

And thank you. :)

I admire that it takes you less than a day to write a story of 2000+ words. I'm not often creative like that, unfortunately, and trying to write L/N has been slowing me down even more, for some reason *g

[princessjessia]

YESSSS CONCRIT thank you! *headdesk* Welcome to the world of Jessi's ginormous sentences. This is what happens when I post before redoing most of them, so I'll likely edit them as I go back through it. Thank you for concrit. :)

As for the short time with the length, it does not happen all that much. Narcissa and Lucius fic often inspires me to do that when others cannot, but it takes motivation like that art to get the truly finished that quickly. I'm certain your L/N is going to be wonderful, because you write wonderfully.

Catlin best shush up or I'm going to swat her. *kidding* The Malfoys will not die and likely, JKR is going to forget to do anything for Lucius *prays* so we are free to break him out of Azkaban over and over again after the seventh book. XD

The 'pure' stuff is all Lucius and hardly any of me, in this case. Having written Narcissa so much in role play in so many ways (there's where my quickly writing enormous amounts goes) I know so many of her good and bad qualities, often better than I believe I know myself -

[peki]

Hee, this is why it's so much fun to write/read fanfic - I love seeing different people's characterisations, and the motivations they give to the characters.

I've never thought about L/N and their dynamic this way, I must say. Intriguing :) So what I gather from your description is that he sees himself as flawed, essentially, or at least more flawed than his wife? Interesting - I've always thought that a man so supremely arrogant in his perspective of the world around him wouldn't admit to his own faults (and mistakes).
Likewise, I've always thought of Narcissa's purity, and perfection, as *very* superficial. Not that I don't think she has 'good' qualities; she does. But she is much, much more than meets the eye, and I guess I've always thought that Lucius' recognising her true, complicated nature is the essence of their relationship. I may be influenced greatly by sionnain's fic, there *g

[princessjessia]

Keeping in mine this is in-Azkaban fic, I think in someway he does admit to his faults. I definitely don't think he would have ever done that before Azkaban because he is a supremely arrogant person who was able to do something as momentous as evade Azkaban in the 80s - so he never had reasonto doubt himself. He definitely doesn't think he is wrong for his beliefs and never will, but now realizes many of the things he did 'wrong' in life. He sees where he could have been more open and loving to Narcissa, shown more to Draco in terms of pride in him and affection. I think open affection to Draco ended as Draco grew, though it never ended in his heart. Classic man syndrome there. ;) So he sees these personal mistakes, plus now he sees his 'working' mistakes and is forced - due to having nothing but himself as 'company' - to confront them

That was lovely, Jessi, but why did you have to write something that made me cry? *sniffles*

I loved Lucius's view of Narcissa, and the knowledge he had of the smallest things, like the way her eyes changed colour at certain moments. It speaks of such intimate familiarity, and even if he hadn't said anything more, I'd understand he loves her.

I love that his need to protect Draco -- Narcissa's child -- was strong enough to stay his hand (that and the fact that he wouldn't be allowed to die, too).

This really is a wonderful depiction of Makani's art, and I'm glad you were the one to write it. :)

(plus, it's not true. thank you for that, Jessi!)

[princessjessia]

Because Makani made ME bawl like my mum just died, that's why! ;)

Aww thank you. :) His mind was, understandably, so very muddled the whole way through that fic that I fretted he seemed all over the board.

I was glad he did stop and think of Draco, I worried he would not or he'd lump sum blame him. However, in his mind, he did know there was nothing Draco could do except jump in front of the AK. Interesting that he did not, as I see him doing that for Narcissa, but it was also a nightmare, so there was that 'not quite right' quality to it, with people not behaving as they should.

Thank you, that means alot! XD

And yes, EVER EVER true. Speaking of... what's this I hear you've been talking about Lucius' demise? *arch brow* *points to above comments* He's a bit miffed. *points to icon* *giggles*

[issuegirls]

Me? Talking about Lucius's demise? It's all lies. ALL LIES, I tell you.
Except for the times when it isn't.

I see Helena's already offered to beta for you, but I'll throw my own offer into the ring, anyway. :)

[the_spinnersend]

That was beautiful, great job.

[princessjessia]

Thank you!!

[chen_san]

T__T This made me cry. It's such a sad story, but you've given such an emotional background to makani's picture.
That's great written and ... well I cry easily, but this one... oh I needed too many Kleenex T___T
I hope this will never ever come true!! The Malfoys must live!!
