Over ice cream. Or ice skating. Do you like ice skating? I want to go ice skating. But if you don't like it, I'll happily settle for ice cream, without any screaming.
Yes? I'll wear an orange and black skull bandana, so you can recognise me.
Oh, this is lovely! I especially like that you include the music, which is haunting and atmospheric!
filling every corner and crevice and teapot in the Burrow - I really love this phrase.
Your second paragraph is so intensely emotional. Guh. And oh, the last part where it becomes clear what is really going on - big reveal for the heartbreak *and* the win!
I don't normally go in for pining!Percy (who is a very popular fanon archetype in the Percy/Oliver milieu), but I really do buy into it here because it is *angry* pining and not woe is me wistful pining. Again, I am hugely in awe of your elegant and parsimonious writing, in which there is very vivid description but it all adds to the plot. And my wibbliness!
And the mirror sounds like entirely my thing, actually. I love big overdone monstrous frames for mirrors, and actual paintings without frames. :)
Oh, Fleur. I do love her beyond reason. And I resisted reading this until I had downloaded the music to play with it and it's just perfect; you can feel the violins behind every word, and the imagery is so very strong.
♥ I'm glad you like it - I really was in a 12am-Fleur-is-pretty-I-like-Bach mood, which tends to produce odd things...
Oh, and in case you didn't know, (to pimp Bach a bit more so everyone can know how marvellous he is (and how marvellous Richard Tognetti, the violinist, is)) it's all the just the one violin and violinist, playing that piece the whole way through. No fancy editing, just a whooole lot of fancy finger work.
Mmmmm ... so lush, so much colour and light and reflection ... all my favourite things. And yes, very Percy to be watching life in a mirror, longingly. *loves*

I'VE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE ELSE WHO LIKES THE AUDREYS.

*sigh* People are so beautiful; it continually astounds me. It's beyond the tokens I find myself using (♥ etc.).
