Lovecraftian dreams

Last night I had a dream which began when my sister said to me, "Hey, do you remember that really wrong-looking house out on Ridgedale, the one with the log cabin behind it? They've done some construction on it, and now the cabin's gone and the house is twice as big. I swear the cabin was still there yesterday."

"What wrong-looking house on Ridgedale?" I asked, having no memory of a house like that. (There is no such house, of course. The only noteworthy house on Ridgedale is the one with the small bear statue out front, which was stolen once -- the bear, not the house.)

"The one on the corner of Ridgedale and Nyarlathotep," my dad said.

...

It got weirder from there.

[Fic] "Strange Likenesses," chapter 1 -- Harry Potter

This is the first part of an unfinished (still, damnit) AU story I started writing back in September of 2004. Anyway, I wrote the first two chapters and then got distracted by other things, and also by the lack of canon information on Voldemort. I am hoping to kickstart myself into finishing it -- I think I can wrap it up in one chapter if I really try hard, or two if I want to decompress it a little.

In this story, Voldemort notices that he's linked to Harry, and therefore doesn't spend ten years drifting around continental Europe like a cheap imitation ghost. This version has been edited slightly to take HBP into account. (Horcruxes. Bah.)

Still old fic, this chapter written in March of 2005. (...Did I remember to list it in my 'year in fic' post? Hmmm.)
