Horror and mystery abound.

Forever he painted his world in shades of grey, that color even more bleak and haunting that the sound of his beautiful, horrible music. Forever this grey surrounded him, so wretched, so despairing, and yet so wholly, horrifyingly, breathtakingly him. Draco was grey, in every sense of the word, from his mood, to his physicality, deep in his soul.

Reminiscing on times forgotten is becoming my habit now. Never was I to stay in a dark room, in a dark house, waiting impatiently for the next wave of torture, simply to forget what I’d lost.

This is the sequel to Salvation. its pretty much just Draco's view of the story and what he was feeling.

Light, hurried footsteps grow swift across the scarred plains, barely marking the wet ground beneath. Quick, hasty breaths tore through the fragile body of a young girl, dressed in a simple white shift, her brilliant red hair flaming across her back. Deep red blood stained the white shift. The blood of her lover, brother, enemies, and friends... [During or near the end of 'the war.' Very dark, descriptive, and angsty. Ginny's POV]

A look into the mind of Sirius on the night before the Fidelius Charm is cast. What would make him, a very talented and very proud wizard, decide to take the fate of the Potters out of his own hands and place it into the hands of someone else, even he is a fellow Marauder? Must be something drastic. I've never been real happy with the explanation given in the books. It seemed too easy, too neat. I always thought there must have been more to the tale. We know Sirius was a reckless man, not gifted with a calculating or subtle mind. I can't believe he made a decision of such enormity based solely on strategy. There had to be more. This is my crack at what may have transpired. It is a touch brutal and gorey, the R rating is not a light one.
