This fic makes me homesick for a place I haven't even found yet. I'm glad Pansy decided that she can live in the same place, with the same streets, but not with everything she remembers. I love how you wrote the change from childhood to adulthood, through places and pictures, which I always think is how it should be.

Thank you for sharing this.

Writing it did the same to me, so I'm so happy it did it for you as well. Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, and I am so glad that it struck a chord with you.

I love the tone of this. Everything is so torn by the war, and there's just so much to run from. The sense of disorientation is strikingly clear, made more so by the fact that the scenes are out-of-order.

[liseuse]

Thank you my dear! I had a lot of fun mixing up the times and places, and thinking about how Pansy would have felt in each of them, at such specific points in her running away.

I've never been into Pansy as a character, but I really enjoyed this, especially the ending - I'm glad she was able to go home, after all, even if everything would be different. Lovely.

Thank you so much, I'm really glad that this got you interested, even a little bit, in Pansy. Thank you for reading!

I love your Pansy, and I especially love post-war Pansy. She seems so grown-up but at the same time almost like a child, not knowing where to go or where she should go. Definitely tied in nicely with the quote, and I loved the time markers- because when one feels like that, even minutes and seconds are counted. Beautiful job.

Thank you my dear! I have an absolute ball writing Pansy because she's so fascinating. I just couldn't help but wonder what she would do after that dreadful incident, and where she would go. I'm really happy that you enjoyed this!

What and interesting and well-done structure. The descriptions are also lovely and vivid. Really enjoyable!

[liseuse]

Thank you! I'm really glad that the structure worked for you. I had a lot of fun playing around with all the different times and places, so it's nice to know that it had the effect I was after.
