hpmugglestudies fic update: 3943 words and it's nearing completion! I am very fond of it, though you are all going to shake your heads sadly at the sheer amount of poetry quotes & anatomy geekery that I have managed to cram into it.

I'm trying to find a nice quote to tease you all with, but everything seems very strange out of context. Oh well. Strange is fine.

Have you seen the fool that corrupted his own live body? or the fool that corrupted her own live body? For they do not conceal themselves, and cannot conceal themselves.

Red tie, blue tie, her sister's fierce energy, Padma herself drained of oxygen and with safety valves built in. Not concealed but exposed, pulsing, under the sterile light. In the absence of the dead, sometimes all you have to defile is yourself.
