FIC: "Inamorata" -- An Adela Interlude for Tetley the Second
You may recall that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tetleythesecond, who is as sharp as the sword of Gryffindor, guessed which story I wrote for HP Beholder. As a result, she won a drabble from my pen.
Among her fascinating prompts were these:
-- Adela/her 'inamoratta'
-- Any mini-moment from one of your fics (on or off-scene), told from a different POV (like Severus or Minerva in "Witness" or the Adela stories …, Minerva in "Mutability," Amelia in "Still Waters" …)
I decided to combine these two, although I hope Tetley won't mind that I haven't actually written a "mini-moment" from the stories themselves. It's more like a "mini-sequel" -- but it is from a different pov.
The following drabble is set in what the lovelycelta_diabolica has called "the Adela-verse." It takes place a few years after the events of the earlier Adela stories, My Journal. . . and Now That I'm Older. (FYI -- These stories feature a young American girl whose next-door neighbors, a mysterious British couple named Miranda and Stephen, bear a striking resemblance to characters many of us know as Minerva and Severus.)
Now, perhaps you'll want to argue that this ficlet should not, technically, be called a drabble, since a drabble by definition consists of exactly one hundred words, neither more nor less. I'll admit straight off that this story violates the "more" part of that equation. But if you'll allow me to argue that in some circumstances, a drabble may contain 888 words, then what we have here is indeed a drabble, for it contains exactly 888 words, neither more nor less.
