Pinch and a punch for the first of the month! (and no return)
Merry November. It is not a month I have ever been particularly fond of, containing all the woes of December without any of the joys, bone numbing cold with no snow, Christmas stresses with no Christmas etc. And for half of this one my bf is jetting off to Sydney, which I am trying not be bitter about, but failing. Nevertheless! I am determined to be cheerful. And buy some amazing gloves. And demand a really good present.
I blame frantic_mice entirely for the following. She linked me, well, her flist, to this absolutely gorgeous picture community.livejournal.com/hd_fanart/117259.html of Steampunk Harry and Draco. And then when I told her how much I loved it and what I thought was going on in it she TOTES encouraged me to write a drabble. The fact that it is faaaar too long to be Drabble is no one's fault but mine.
I have never really written H/D before, not proper slash anyway, and there are some connesieurs of the form on my flist, so I am very nervous about posting this. Please, tell me what you think! All opinions welcome, even if its 'please to never be doing this again'.
But I hope you like it *runs off to drink soothing peppermint tea*
I realised when I had it half written and went to look at the picture again that the cage is too small for people to stand up in, but I liked my kissing scene too much!
The Luddites were a group who went round the English countryside in the 18th century smashing up machines they thought were unnatural and taking their jobs.
I need a disclaimer, don't I. The characters are of course, not mine, but JKRs. Cobalt the little blue mechanical bird is, however, mine and the artists, and I'm not sharing him!
