Me: The movie would have been just a bit different if you'd played Sirius.
CB: "Cm'ere, Draco..."
No class today so I'm taking a tear at my unfinished ficathon stuff.

This is an imaginary story (which may never happen, but then again may) about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good. It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; of how his enemies conspired against him and of that final war in the snowblind wastes beneath the Northern Lights; of the women he loved and of the choice he made between them; of how he broke his most sacred oath, and how finally all the things he had were taken from him save one.
It ends with a wink.
It begins in a quiet midwestern town, one summer afternoon in the quiet midwestern future. Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky... but no; it's only a bird, only a plane - Superman died ten years ago.
This is an imaginary story.
Aren't they all?
