Hey guys, girls, and other readers, it sure has been a while! But I'm back and almost done with the first chapter and an actual plot (with an ending and everything). Before I post it though I thought I'd tease you all with a couple lil snippets of it and ask what you think! The new fic will be titled Iron and Copper. Ironically I probably will not use the bloodmaster thing at all, though an idea similar but much older will be in play.
John yanks his hood back, expecting it to be his father about to scold him for staying so long and being so unaware. Instead he is greeted by the sight of man he did not know dressed in far too light of clothing for the weather, his expression disarmingly warm for a stranger. The presence of the other was unexpected but still, it wouldn't do to be rude. "Excuse me, do I know you?"
Perhaps it was an old friend of his Grandmother's coming to visit; she traveled in her youth, or so he heard from the many varied characters who had seen her over the years. The man looked too young- no, he didn't seem quite young either, that wasn't right.
...
The stranger catches his eyes and holds his gaze a moment. A curious haze rolls through his mind as he notices how impossibly green the other's eyes were. His mouth feel like he's been chewing on cotton.
Wow, FF dot net sure has changed since I was last actively using it. I live on AO3 now, but I'll still post here because I don't want to leave you guys in the dark about the rewrite. Also- would anybody be up for beta reading? PM if you're interested. Mostly I want someone to bounce ideas off of and make sure things flow smoothly.
