Recced because: I wanted to rec something from the classic series, and very nearly did, when i stumbled across this piece. It's lovely and haunting and the style Pitry (the author) uses allows the story to have an emotional impact outside of the sequence of events inside the story, which stops it from, sinking to morose or melodramatic levels of emotion. It's a beautiful story that I didn't want to risk it not being shared until my next turn reccing.


In the end, I guess I did lie to you guys, as these recs were mostly newer series with classic touches thrown in; for that I apologise. However, I do hope you enjoyed my recs even half as much as I enjoyed reccing them and I PROMISE next time will have more classic tales. Until we meet again!

I just re-read this story a few days ago and was really struck by its mixing of the fantastic and the mundane. It was heartbreaking but true, and I thought for sure it had been recc-ed here before but I was mistaken. I'm glad you recc-ed it because it certainly belongs here.

I honestly couldn't believe it hadn't been recced yet, Pitry and it was my honour to be the one to do so!
