The only things you can never hide from are yourself and your past.

A collection of short pieces written for the now-defunct H/D Flashfic. Includes woobie!kid!Draco, a trip to an opium den, a lesson on being a good sport, and an exploration of exotica.

There's no such thing as destiny--there's only action and inaction, who takes the first step and who sits waiting, check and checkmate. Sometimes the worst part of the fight is the bracing breath before the first step.
