drabble: drained: lily

[marginalia]

[drained] - lily
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

Lily is beyond exhausted. That she is still functioning, walking about, working for the Order, is somewhat of a miracle. Her strength has dripped away so slowly that she didn't notice until it was nearly gone.

Tonight James is away, and she can only hope that he is safe. She knows she will feel it if anything happens, that it will be too great a cosmic rift to pass unnoticed. She tries to sleep but the bed is too wide, and no matter how she lays the baby presses hard against her.

She is running out of things to give.

Ouch. That one hit hard.

thank you!

Just beautiful.

This line just sends home to me how *young* they all were. Realizing that Harry is likely to be even younger... it's just heartbreaking.

thank you! i was afraid it would be too dramatic a line, but they really -were- young.

[gamps-garret.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. They really were. And you handled the rest of the piece very softly, so it works. Now had Lily *said* the line instead of only thinking it... ;-)



Also! We are doing really well on the casting of P_Q and whatnot -- just a few more things to finish off. I wrote another post about it today; would you mind terribly plugging the game just once more and linking back? I even posted the application to make it easy. Thank you...

Holy crap.

I know this. I know all of this - okay, not the whole thing with the husband and baby and wizards and whatnot, but the feelings - so freaking well.

...I'm gonna write out this drabble into a notebook I have. Some of my favourite things are in there. This belongs with them. Thank you.
