Dark Is Rising: To Remember for Always by Genarti
To Remember For Always (Will/Bran | PG | 5,623 words) has Bran gradually regaining his memories. The description is vivid and colorful, which is how I always remember the tone of the books being. And the story is gradual so it's more of a coming to the senses than a grand surprise.
Excerpt:
"What do you think, Bran?" Ceridwen appealed.
He raised his eyebrows at her. "You are asking a shepherd's son how he feels about foxes?"
"Oh, bah." She flapped a hand dismissively. "Foxes don't carry off sheep."
The milgwn do. It was so strong and certain a thought that he nearly said it aloud to city-bred Ceridwen, who had probably never even heard of the great grey foxes of the mountaintops. In his mind flashed a sudden picture of a rangy dog fox, grinning, tongue lolling, muzzle splashed with red blood. Abrupt fury at the fox washed over him, and then with the image it was gone past grasping.
He bit back the words that rose in him, confused, and realized the girls were still waiting for a response. "Still a nuisance, they are," he managed, and heard it come out of his mouth light and normal.
