metamorfic_moonchallenge.I’ve always loved Nearly Headless Nick and have always had a fascination with the Headless Horseman. So I was totally psyched to pit them against each other!!
This is AU, Halloween 2009, A New Happiness ficverse, which is really only important so far as Teddy’s character and the ending line, as it turned out. I would suggest reading it first, but this can be understood on its own.
I tried a new style of writing in this; it may or may not work. It’s meant to be “seamless” in that I didn’t want to put asterisks or dashes to separate things because it causes you to pause. I wanted the story to jump suddenly from person to person, my purpose being to keep the pace quick while adding a bit of suspense. However, this may just confuse you. So any critiques and comments on the style will be greatly appreciated! :)
