The Soul Thief by hestiajones
Rated: Professors •Summary:
We consider each other, two shattered entities unexpectedly brought together, their homes within easy reach yet far removed. “Hello,†I say. The gesture is almost comical. I just greeted myself.
“How was it?†she asks. Her chest falls and rises visibly, rapidly. I stare at it. It’s my heart there, pounding.
My answer is a single, inadequate word.
I'd like to thank Jess for gently nudging me to write for this challenge, Croll for her never-ending support, and the SBBCers for their valuable input in the discussions. This plot bunny wouldn't have been possible without some of the debates and theories we've been focussing on in February. Thanks also to Pooja for being the most helpful doctor-in-making, and for being my mosquito-swatting soulmate.
Hungry Shadows by Padfoot11333
