"...she'll come back to me, for one reason or another, and I don't much care what reasons she picks, as long as she makes her way back again, I'll know I haven't lost her, not yet...somewhere along the lines, the anger will fade to passion, or maybe they were both there to start with, we just had to wait for them to bleed together..."

A Stolen Moment by DistrictNineAndThreeQuarters Stale Result (Last seen: )

"We stand, face-to-face, toe-to-toe, wondering what we're going to do when the song is over, when we have to step apart. What now?

An Exercise in Futility by DistrictNineAndThreeQuarters Stale Result (Last seen: )

To See Past It by DistrictNineAndThreeQuarters Stale Result (Last seen: )

'I have to make it out, if only to explain...' From Glimmer's POV. She volunteers in place of a young girl she barely knows and vows to make it back, if only to explain why she volunteered. A bit angsty, and a bit OOC, but not terribly so. Give it a try.

Green Eyes by DistrictNineAndThreeQuarters Stale Result (Last seen: )

Three one-shots of Severus Snape: thoughts on what truly counts and the green eyes that have haunted him since childhood. Also, I don't own anything; it all belongs to Queen Rowling, the creator of childhoods.
