Reservoirs (Day 17)

I'm quite pleased with that kiss actually :) I tend to dash through them to get on to the next bit of plot, so I really tried to slow down and make this one the focus of the piece and I like it. I wanted to make it stand out from the romantic, too easy daydream kisses they've had so far.

Dumbledore's password is, of course, from The Lord of the Rings. I wonder if Dumbledore ever met Tolkien?

And, nope, this Lily was never going to volunteer to do the cooking ~_^

I love Dumbledore's password being from LotR. I can just see him fanboying Tolkien. :D

And as I said already, I really loved that kiss. Gah. Real kisses are where it's at, anyway.

I'm partway through a reread myself, and could just imagine Dumbledore enjoying them (and reading all the appendices to see if he could find any mistakes).

*grins* Definitely.

I'm far overdue for a reread myself, but I've lent my copy to a friend. Bum. It's been a long time since I last read LotR!

I'm having lovely visions of Dumbledore twinkling over a sherry in the Rabbit Room of the Eagle and Child. During your Phoenix chapter, I couldn't suppress my curiosity as to what a Tolkien fic by you would look like. I realize you were drawing more directly on Anglo-Saxon poetry and the Pre-Raphaelites, but Tolkien's bound up in that lot, too. Just planting the germs. :)

Am finally caught up with the series (the last week has had me all up and down and across the continent). I think you've really pushed back from the pulpiness you were fretting over earlier: there's a rawness and intensity in the last few chapters that is thrilling in quite a different way.
