Medium: Books
Fandom: The Dresden Files
Subject: Margaret Gwendolyn Dresden
Title: Point of No Return
Notes: Roughly chronological. Explication, cover art, and zip link behind the cut. SPOILERS for everything, up to and including Small Favor, but especially Blood Rites (pirates, ye be warned). Speculation involving Harry and why he was actually born. Insistence that, regardless of the reason Harry was born, Margaret Lefay loved Malcolm Dresden.

When you see this, post a little weensy excerpt from as many random works-in-progress as you can find lying around. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

Here's...um...a lot of stories. A lot a lot. Guess the fandom. Also, let me know if any of these intrigue. Some of them are perilously close to being abandoned.

Fandom: Dresden Files
Pairing: Margaret Gwendolyn Lefay x Malcolm Dresden
Theme Set: Alpha
Rating: R.
Warnings: SPOILERS for everything, up to and including White Night, but especially Blood Rites (pirates, ye be warned). Speculation involving Harry and why he was actually born. Insistence that, regardless of the reason Harry was born, Margaret Lefay loved Malcolm Dresden. Enjoy.
Notes: Follows my own personal canon for these two, currently being expanded into a fic titled Kyrie Eleison. I hope that, if you like this, you’ll read Kyrie when I post it.

#01 – Comfort
The woman is bent over in an alley, breathing in tight hard sobs, her hand white-knuckled against the wall; he is beside her before he even knows it, moved by an impulse he doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to.

#02 – Kiss
He cups her face in his hands and kisses her, a fairy-tale kiss that seems to carry away all her lies, all her crimes, and make her new and pure.

#03 – Soft
Malcolm has known a gruff sort of fondness, and even an occasional deeper affection, but he has never known the kind of soft love Maggie gives, an unconditional adoration that swiftly becomes necessary as air.

rrrr.
I've hit a brick wall in Kyrie. I know where I want to go after this, but I've got a scene to write between "now" and "then," and I have no idea what I want to put in it. Small talk, presumably, but it has to be story-significant small talk, stuff that hints Maggie has secrets and stuff she's not willing to talk about. Presumably Malcolm does too, though he's a much more open person than she is.
Hmm. Maybe if I look at the scene as character development. I can show some of Maggie's recklessness and some of her evasiveness, and give Malcolm a chance to show off that godawful sense of humor of his (what, you thought Harry got it from nowhere?).
Still. Rrrgh.
Also, which is the more annoying faux-endearment? Crumpet or dumpling?

WARNING: HERE THAR BE SPOILERS for everything under the sun that I write about. Seriously.
