This fic was phenomenal. I loved it. The progression of their relationship is believable and gritty and real, and the ending was just lovely.

Cheers, author!

I should be studying for my finals, but I couldn't resist and read the beginning of this and I just wanted to say that this is brilliant. The portrayal of Ginny is perfect -- her emotions are described so well. I should get back to studying the Romantic poets, but I'm going to save the rest of this for after my finals -- that way I'll have something lovely to look forward to. Thank you for writing this!

This is absolutely fantastic. The characterization is very realistic--so much so that I can almost see this happening in canon. Ginny's perspective on the trio's interaction is perfect, and I like how you made Molly very motherly but still sympathetic. Their relationship develops so believably, too. It's absolutely wonderful.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for reviewing!

I swore to myself there would be no more reading of exchange fics tonight, but I saw the quote in the summary and then I just had to (despite the Latin American lit exam earlier today that you'd think would have turned me off Neruda).

Very lovely. I thought the way that Molly and Arthur were so strict with Ginny was great, and the line about stray Death Eaters made me crack up.

I love Neruda, and I particularly love the poem that quote is from. I'm glad you took a chance, despite the exam! Thank you, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it!
