Running on Air by eleventy7 (aka @tinyhistory)
[useless technical shinfo: I used a bastardised version of a long and short stitch, stem stitch and french knots, silk and cotton blend fabric, 22 different shades of thread and 30cm hoops! it took me about 80 hours in total]
I’m wondering what to even write for this, like, is it even worth it? Am I gonna open my mouth to be met with a “Yeah, we know”? Because I know you know - you knew from the landscapes and the quote.
Anyway, I decided that if I was going to embroider my favourite fics, I’d have to start here. I remember reading ROA for the first time (pre returning to fandom tumblr, pre joining the drarry discord server) and sobbing silently into my pillow for hours trying not to wake up my husband or the pup. A couple of weeks later I sat in front of my therapist and said “look, I’m gonna have to talk to you about this piece of fanfiction I read” because it had touched me so deeply that I couldn’t go on without talking about it.
Running on Air is a beautifully written, intricately built plot and it’s worth a read and a re-read and a re-read again, like… until the end of times. I am forever indebted to eleventy7 for its existence, I am so incredibly emotionally attached to these landscapes and it was wonderful getting to stitch them with my own wee fingers.
(while I’m here, I’d like to publicly express my undying love and gratitude to my darling @dracopottermalfoy for being the loveliest cheerleader, you’re a star)
