When I finished my first fanfiction story back in July last year I had very mixed feelings about it. I was super happy that I had taken the plunge into writing and had some good feedback but I remained unsatisfied with the final product. I have long wanted to go back over it and tighten up some language, correct mistakes and make some additions to the existing story. It has been something of a labour of love, that took MUCH longer than I anticipated at the beginning. Somehow in the course of this process the story has grown considerably, and while not perfect, is a lot closer to what I had in my head when I started writing all those months ago.
I am very pleased to be able to say that this is now complete, and the updated version is now live on ff.net along with a new drabble ‘Antonin finds out’ a request from @jasperandgemma which follows on immediately after the epilogue ended.
Big thanks to @kreeblimsabs who’s continued affection for this story made me think it was worth revisiting in the first place, her enthusiasm has kept me going while I suffered through boredom and paper cuts to get this done.
Additionally, the Pictures of You AU chapters from The Mixtape have also been updated.
Side A: Track 1 Jealous Guy
Side A: Track 9 Wish You Were Here
Side B: Track 5 Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
Antonin's eyes studied the picture of the girl in the soft blue dress, as she was twirled around by a boy in Durmstrang robes. Krum eyed the girl, Hermione, his mouth set in a grim line. Her face could not have been more different, her eyes twinkled when he bowed, and she erupted into fits of giggles every time she was lifted, lighting up the whole picture with her smile.
