This Holy Longing

One of my non-abjd 2009 Resolutions is to Finish things. So, I'm currently knee-deep in "Morning Glory Wine" again and it's been really refreshing and somewhat exciting. The Idea of a May-December romance, reversed or not, is an Idea irrevocably tinged with a kind of hopeless sadness, the two lovers can never meet on an ageless plain in this existence. I find this Intriguing and enjoy time-travelling/time-altering stories very much because of this Romantic Conundrum. "The Time Travellers Wife" is brilliant, as is "The French Lieutenant's Woman". Other time separated fictional Lovers, flist? Movies make time warps more immediate in nature and "The Lakehouse" is delightful because of the unknowing interaction of the couple. "Somewhere In Time" is just painful. I am anxious beyond words for the local release of "Buttons."

A long, long time ago, I did Finish a smallish story about May-December Time Travelling Lovers and although it was written in the HPVerse, it might be an enjoyable read for non HP-fans, too. It's AU now, of course, but at the time it was written, characters were still very much alive in the series, and in this fic placed during "The Prisoner of Azkaban" the plot was somewhat plausible.

Just under 7000 words. Borrows liberally from a more-famous Wizarding story, is Harry Potter compliant.
