He remembers when he first heard him, and how he'd been quite unable to do much of anything other than sit there in the stalls in awe as he watched the choir's rehearsal play out, a fourth year pianist accompanying a devastating solo from Remus that had every student and teacher holding their breath. The sheer depth of it; the way it seemed to reverberate through the ancient boards of the very stage itself, from somewhere primal and secret inside him. And how it seemed to take him no effort whatsoever, and how his presence felt no less monumental for it.

A winter term at The Ullswater Institute: late-night rehearsals, dormitory karaoke, and secrets, kept in the labyrinthine corridors underneath the cavernous, frescoed auditorium.

A product of two prompts and the fact that I recently read If We Were Villains. My favourite thing I've written in absolutely ages; maybe years. Enjoy. x

‘It was a dull, overcast and foggy morning on the last day of November, and it didn’t look very promising. Then suddenly, the sun started breaking through, providing some interesting light at the Glenridding end of Ullswater, Cumbria.’

Comment:

I'm guessing (or hoping) that most people know about this wonderful fic already anyways but I couldn't not include it in this month's list now that it's completed. It's beautifully written, I love the way eyra writes anyways, but the music elements made this fic extra special for me, I love everything about it and highly recommend everyone read this!

can see why the Romantic poets were such big fans of the Lake District honestly (even though this post has very little to do with the actual landscape…)
