So, I read this a few days ago (around the time when you first posted) but I didn't have a chance to comment until just now.

I really enjoyed this piece. It was refreshing to read something where the events/characters aren't totally unharmed or altered by the things that happen to them. It's one of the things I dislike most about current fanfic--this idea that crazy things happen but its okay because at the end of the chapter/day/episode everything goes back to normal. I don't see life that way, and it means something to me when I read a story that reflects the very realness of life. Because having sex with an older man while everyone is looking the other way is exactly the kind of thing that does happen.

I understand what you mean about being "bothered" by certain aspects of this theme--not that the way your story was written bothered me personally, but I have a younger sister who came to me for advice after having sex for the first time at age 13 and I found myself wildly unequipped on how to help her.

Don’t shake your head, Harry. Think about it. Did you notice?

That really got me. The fragments you used have such an impact here.

I could go on and on, but I think you get it :D Great writing, especially Ginny's sparse, frank voice. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! This is lovely. Glad you liked Ginny's voice. Its original title was actually 'Fragments', haha. You picked my favourite line!! V pleased you did. I don't know what to say about your sister that doesn't sound intrusive, but thanks for the acknowledgement that this does happen at this age.

Thank you! ♥!

You're welcome :D I don't mind talking about my somewhat related experience since it's definitely something I learned from, which Ginny appears to acknowledge as well. I guess what I'm saying is that I'm really glad to see a story that actually went there, instead of shying away from touchy subject-matter.
