dirty old town.

summary

Finn Lynch lives a quiet, tranquil life in a rural village in the mountains. Her life may lack spontaneity and excitement, but at least it's peaceful. And if it's a little lonely too, then she can't complain too much - she's still happy, after all.

When her uncle asks her to house a defector from the magical war he's involved in, Finn agrees reluctantly despite her concerns that the presence of Regulus Black in her home will disrupt the careful peace she's been cultivating for years.

Nothing could prepare her for what an insufferable prick he is.

You have come and made my dreams smaller, narrower. 

Filled them with sugar and your body humming in the same room as mine.

I dream, now, of a normal life with you.

 A life where breakfast lasts until the sun goes down, until I have finished gazing at you from across the table, flour dried to your forehead like a kiss.
