I like this pairing, but I don't know what to do with Ron now.
The crows weren't hard to find at all. 
You drew this very well. I'm faving this for your wonderful drawing and so I can find the link to the storyΒ againΒ so I can read it later.
It the story completely non-canon, AU or a Spape-lived storyline?

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the drawing. The story is pretty much AU, but a good read. Don't want to spoil you...

The fanfic "A Murder of Crows" was one of the first HG/SS fanfictions I ever read back in the days when I was still a newbie in fanfiction world and a HG/DM fan - not anymore 
The drawing is splendid - exactly how I envisioned the scene - and I love it. It does the story justice in every way.

Thanks so much! I also discovered the story as a great read when the author's friend commissioned the illustration, and I am not sorry for it. It felt like quite an honor to become part of that creation in a small way. I am so glad you like the drawing and that it brought back good memories for you.

Try hunting for Ted Hughes' 'Crow' poems - stark, economical, very powerful.
He was born in 'my' Dales village. Married to Sylvia Plath - who committed suicide; her grave is still a place of pilgrimage.

I remember reading him in college. It would be to "cuddly" to say that I loved the poems, but I admired the way they both spoke about aspects of human nature but seemed to also capture something of the essence of the animal - in so far as we can reach at all into the character and head of another creature...
