FIC: "Let Us Escape Our Troubles" for tetleythesecond
Recipient: tetleythesecond
Author: songquake
Title: Let Us Escape Our Troubles
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Augusta Longbottom
Word Count: 11,708
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *None*.
Summary: How terribly strange to be seventy… ("Old Friends", Simon and Garfunkel)
Author's Notes: tetleythesecond, I hope you love this. It's been a true labour of love. I'm so grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with these characters. I hope it's got enough realism - and theoretical magic - for you. To my beta T, thank you ever so for whipping this into shape at the last possible moment. You're a lifesaver. All remaining mistakes are mine. And finally, bethbethbeth, I thank you immensely for hosting this fest, for promoting unpopular characters, and for putting up with my terribly slow writing and revising process. You're a gentlewoman and a scholar.

	I've never read this pairing before (no idea how I missed any of the stories), but you drew me in with your writing, and kept me reading with your characterisations. Not to mention the science and theory and insights into the goings on at Hogwarts. Oh, and the hot sex between women of a certain age with real bodies. What a glorious story.

LOL - I'd never read this pairing before, either, to be honest! It's one of the joys of taking part in this fest - the opportunity to play with characters and pairings I'd not have considered before.

And I'm glad that you found the sex between women of a certain age with real bodies hot. *grin* I've (regrettably, since I have a bit of a thing for older women *blush*) not had experience with that sort of body yet, so I'm glad it came across as realistic.

Thanks for the review!
