Notes: iselima, I was so pleased to write for you! You asked for "femmeslash, autumn fog and chill, Samhain, eery places (like the Forbidden Forest or a deserted castle)," and I got in as many as I could. My grateful thanks to that best of betas, therealsnape. Thanks, too, to the excellent mods. Love this fest.

The title comes from Carl Sandburg's poem "Fog".
