Reveals are up at hd_holidays! A few unexpected surprises. Always lovely to discover new authors. *G*

Huge thanks go to the lovely mindabbles for my gift. Your Draco is to die for, darling ♥ ♥ ♥

So, the other day I had a guessing poll on my LJ and nobody guessed correctly. I would've thought that the steampunk would've been a dead give-away, but alas, I was mistaken :(((

I wrote A Quiet Full of Longing for katerina_black.



I was greatly inspired to try writing future tense after a second reading of rinsbane's 'The Gnostic Crane.' I wanted to do a daydream sequence in which Draco imagines how great his life could be if only he'd make a kind gesture towards Harry. And this is basically what fell out of my head.

Yeah, I know. Future tense/second person is tricky and offputting to a lot of people. Personally, I don't understand the prejudice. However, I am one of those writers that just does NOT give a fuck about differing tense/pov semantics if there's a story to be told. Obviously, people will disagree, and that's fine. But it is extremely disheartening nevertheless.

It took me three plus months to write 6k, because I just couldn't find my words, but I was happy with the outcome. If you find yourself with a bit of extra time, I'd be pleased to hear what you thought; loved, hated or just indifferent.

Thanks for your time <3

I thought the use of future tense in your story was f'ing brilliant! ♥
