Subject: [Snorkack] Sad news? My girlfriend Marion died this morning. She hadn't wanted it generally known, but she was diagnosed with what what described as "a rare syndrome based on an underlying dementia." The specific condition is known as Posterior Cortical Atrophy, and a reasonable shorthand definition is "Alzheimer's that starts by affecting the visual cortex." In the three years since her diagnosis, she had lost much of her mental and physical capabilities. Although she could still converse, she had trouble finding the correct words, and physically, she was effectively?blind (her?eyes were still good, but her?brain couldn't interpret the incoming data), and could no longer take care of herself. Last night, she got part of her dinner caught in her throat. I tried the Heimlich maneuver without success and called 911. We have a fire station a few blocks away, so the EMTs were there almost immediately. They were also unsuccessful with unblocking her airway. Marion suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital, but they were able to restart her heart and stabilize her once she was in the ER. Around 1 am, they called me to come to the hospital because her blood pressure had dropped significantly, and they felt she didn't have long. Her heart stopped again just before 3 am, and she did not respond to CPR. New Years would have marked 25 years that we'd been together. I'm going to miss her so much.

You have my most sincere condolences.

My condolences.
After losing my wife of 14 ? years earlier this year to a sudden heart attack, I can only say that if you need to talk, I am available..
losing her the way you did, both gradually and suddenly is awful, and the only thing I can think to say about that is that she¡¯s no longer in pain, no longer feeling her life slipping away ..?
if you ascribe to the belief that there is an afterlife, cherish the thought that she is waiting for you, amongst those who have already crossed to the other side.
the pain doesn¡¯t ever really disappear, and there will be days where you¡¯ll just spend hours crying .. so, revisit the good and happy memories that you made together over your time together..

Re: While reading a story, couldn't help wondering if Peter unintentionally claimed to be Moldy's father
Interesting thought. Never considered it that way, but you make a point that him giving his bones without thinking about it could constitute "...unknowingly given"
|
While reading a story, couldn't help wondering if Peter unintentionally claimed to be Moldy's father
I was reading "Harry Potter and the Rune Stone Path" and when got to the section where Wormtail was going through the ritual to bring Moldywart back a wierd thought occurred to me because of the fact that Wormtail gave him both flesh and bone.
The first part of the ritual: "Bone of the father unknowingly given, you will renew your son!" and I think Peter forgot he was giving him some of his bone when he sliced off his entire hand and let it drop in the big cauldron so he technically unknowingly gave him some of his bone.
The second line: "Flesh of the servant willingly given you will revive your master" mean all Wormtail really had to do was slice off a piece of skin, not an entire body part.
After I read it, I couldn't help wondering if Wormtail made himself unknowingly a father for Moldy and that might've been at least partly responsible for giving Moldy such a weird looking body. It also may have been something that helped keep Wormtail alive, because if Moldy killed him, then he was telling the magic that created his new body he was rejecting the bone of his father, even if the bone that was added was a mistake and the person who gave it was technically was a servant/minion.
Curious to see what you think

Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry - FOUND!
That's exactly why I went overboard on the notes :)
Personally, I put the darkness and vengeance brutality on par with RobSt's In this World and the Next, so I personally don't think it's that bad. Especially with the wacky humor in it. But I know others' scales are different, so I gave the notes as warnings. I've clicked into too many fics that had a G-rated summary which turned into gore-fests that should have been rated NC-99 or XXXXX
|
Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry - FOUND!
Hmm, I don't mind some dark elements but that story has way too many! Generally, I read for escapism and this would be way too depressing.
Thanks for your mini-review but I think I'll pass.

Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry - FOUND!
FOUND IT! In my own defense, I have amassed a saved collection of +3,800 fanfics which sometimes makes searching through the text of mobi/epub files to be nearly impossible at times.
It's Harry Potter and the Dark Lord Sidious -
AU, time travel, and very dark. Harry/Luna, with bashing of all kinds, and a ton of major character deaths as they get revenge on everyone in the 'Potter conspiracy' who screwed over Harry.
Here are the itemized notes on it, for anyone interested in reading it (it's kind of brutal). Um, spoilers if anyone didn't want to read this?
..
...
..
Everyone screwed Harry over in the 'Potter Conspiracy'. Snape sent him a letter after Snape's death which detailed all, and Harry went back to replace his 11 year old self so that he can get revenge and change the future to something he likes, with Luna as his love/dark lady. Susan and Hannah are together romantically, Luna becomes minister, and Harry becomes chief of Wizengamot.
Sorting hat explodes after Harry's cursed it to not reveal what it learns; Dumbles had it subverted, sorted kids wrong and told him what's in their heads. Also spied via castle's portraits and ghosts.
Had Hermione torn apart and eaten alive by troll.
Hagrid was torn apart by Aragog, spiders swarmed quidditch game and injured many. Colin was incapacitated and died slowly, Pomfrey died quickly.
Ginny sent the basilisk on Luna; Harry killed it, defeated V, and left Ginny in the chamber to slowly starve. He set an Egyptian ward around her which would turn her blood to acid one cell at a time, and walked out.
Harry and Luna went after Sirius and "accidentally" agitated the plants in the greenhouse when their spells "missed". Purple-People Eater "got loose" and ate Sprout.
Set up cascade in great hall for Dennis- banner tugged by Malfoy caught fire from candles, magical action from staff creates a null field canceling all magic in the area, point counters fall off of wall and Ron shoves Dennis out of the way. He falls into a suit of armor which loses its axe, and the swinging axe decapitates him before embedding in the wall.
Pansy had her neck broken by Lupin when they sabotaged his wolfsbane and he went on a werewolf rampage. He was executed by the staff/students when they couldn't control him.
Tortured Tonks into insanity for her playing a 'friend' in the conspiracy- deliberately manipulated him by morphing into Tara McClay, muggleborn (or family of Weasleys, second time around) to lull him into friendship/more and then "die", leaving him turning to them in his grief. Cruciatus until her mind broke.
Bill killed by rampaging dragon during first task, Harry flew it around and crashed it into the stands.
Ron drowned in second task, Harry had merpeople as allies and they took him after Harry explained to Ron why he was going to die.
Moody starved in his trunk since Barty didn't let him out and Harry wasn't going to.
Greyback, other werewolves, killed by their own kind to clean up the rogues for Harry.
Parvati moved to Privet Drive to become Harry's love interest (plot like Tonks'). Harry corrals the dementor with two unicorn patroni and has it suck out her soul.
Had set a virus into the ward scheme at the Burrow, which will complete in two and some years. Molly dying by death eaters when the wards cascade and fail, Harry and Luna are listening to a muggle Christmas concert and they get to see in their heads what's happening.
Harry knocked out Sirius and portkeyed him to V's hideout, guaranteeing that he is tortured and killed, ministry battle takes place which Harry doesn't go to. Amelia, Fudge, and Percy killed in the fight.
McGonagall notices that Harry was out of bounds while Sirius was being portkeyed and catches on to what Harry has been doing. Confronts him, battles him, and Luna saves him by coming into room and disarming her. Harry casts imperious and makes her walk into forest to feed Aragog's clan.
Lucius and Narcissa killed by Harry's alter ego (Sidious) in retaliation for muggle attack. Killed at the ward line of the Parkinson property, Luna fires wolf mark into sky. Lucius's head is blasted apart and Narcissa is beheaded by Luna's scythe.
Harry and Luna manage to get Snape and Dumbles talking about his spying where Draco could overhear. Snape is branded traitor and tortured to death. His body is sent back to Hogwarts, explodes on the staff table, and severed head is mounted on a spring platform (like a jack in the box).
Neville overhears Harry and Luna discussing their plot. Confronts Luna, she beheads him with her scythe. He's the only innocent to die.
Draco kidnaps Harry and Luna from Hogsmeade, marches them to death eater ambush. Harry makes it out that Draco turned in a spy for their side, that Snape was working for V all along and Draco was an idiot. Draco killed by Bellatrix. Fight ensues, Harry and Luna kill Bellatrix, Avery, Dolohov, Goyle, and Crabbe (Draco's two bookends).
Set up for V to ambush Hogwarts, right into a setup by Harry's army (what used to the DA in the last life). Is killed and Harry dissembles his remains under the ocean. His death eaters are all killed by Harry's army "the study group" before V is killed.
Dumbledore wants to leash Harry, will tell ministry that he's evil and has to be controlled by Dumbles. Harry and Luna bring their allies (acromantula, werewolves, centaurs, and heliopaths), disarm Dumbles after he threatens to kill Luna (to keep Harry "in line"), and let the creatures kill him.

Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry
No, it's not Shatter or Guy Fawkes. This is an older one, I think, and definitely completed. Think Harry went back in time somehow, when he discovered who all was part of the conspiracy, and is getting revenge. It was definitely a werewolf rampage, and I think Pansy may have been the one killed? The rest of the teachers kill werewolf!Lupin and stop him from doing more damage
|
Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry
It doesn't have Lupin, but fits the theme. I'll see if ai can find the one you are looking for, later.

Re: LFS- amoral/evil Harry
That sort of sounds like shatter by herald of dreams. The part about lupin's wolfsbane potion is in chapter 12.

Don't remember most of it, only that everyone screwed over Harry and he was getting even. He/they messed with Lupin's wolfsbane potion so it wouldn't work, then lamented that he's a pathetic werewolf since his rampage only managed to hurt/kill one person. Ring any bells?
