~~`dark side of light' ramblings.

mistful has been writing this story, `dark side of light'... it's dark and gripping and painful and beautiful and frightening. i think this story had taken over my brain the past few days. it kept coming back, like a sort of waking nightmare, like a dilemma i couldn't fight my way out of, like some sort of puzzle. it raises so many questions, and it doesn't quite answer any of them, which is so maddening and yet so -right-, somehow. the only other fics that i kept thinking of afterwards were ip, brief interval, and draco veritas. it occurred to me that they were all about the choices and consequences of love, the lies and delusions and unrequited/requited fear that is always there... and who we become and what we become just because we have been lying to ourselves for so long, we think we are who we pretend to be and maybe we deserve our fate as it finds us....
