Thanks.

Oh gosh, that was a punch to the gut! (in a good way!) I love the structure of it, the layers peeling back until we start to get the full picture. Wonderful work (and so sad). :)

[josephinestone]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Oh waow. I loved this -- it broke my heart, but I loved it.
I cherish the works where Astoria and/or Daphne are fully fleshed-out characters. This is such a great example... The love triangle between Daphne, Astoria and Pansy is everything I've ever wanted and more, gnnn! Daphne and Draco's conversation says so much in so few words, I really like the way you wrote it all, conveying info to the reader mostly through dialogue.
I think what I prefer (besides Daphne and Pansy secretly pining for each other, that is, since they're my OTP), is that the fic, despite the Astoria/Pansy pairing, is Daphne-centered. Her POV is so compelling here, siiiigh. I swear I can feel her sadness. Kudos

Thank you so much...this is the first time I've written either of the Greengrass girls. I've used Pansy as a side character before, but I don't have any specific head cannon for any of them yet. I think I do imagine them all with dark almost black hair, but I don't describe my characters looks, um, really ever.

I did really enjoy writing them.

♥♥ This is possibly one of my favourite portrayals of Daphne, so kudos!

I loved this! What a well executed piece, and utterly heart breaking.
