This was cute! I think what I loved most is your portrayals of Lily and James; from the beginning you just really drew me in. And the skinny dipping scene was perfectly done. =)

Thank you so much. :)

I want to grow old with you, and watch our grandchildren play on the front lawn."

I'm sorry, that's all I can think about. Mystery author, you wrote a very good fic, and I know there are plenty of other things to say about it, but now I just want to curl into a little ball and sob. They never got to see their grandkids. D:

(Also, mods, um, every time I try to submit my poll answers, it tells me I'm not permitted to see the poll, and I don't think it's recording my responses. :( )

Thanks so much for pointing that out! We've posted the poll separately here, and hope you'll take a moment to put your votes in there. Apologies for the inconvenience!

No problem, and will do! Actually, have done!

Thank you! Part of what draws me in to James/Lily is the tragedy surrounding their romance; mostly their intense passion, and the fact that they had so little time together to explore it. I am so pleased that you enjoyed it. :)

I really liked the writing in this. The descriptions were really good, and I could really see everything. I thought you had a really good grasp on the characters, especially James. Good job!

Thank you very much! :)

I think this felt very real and sweet, and you set the mood well. I could envision the scene as it played out. Very nice use of the prompt.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! :)

This is such a beautiful moment in time, a respite from the war for Lily and James, made bittersweet (for me, at least) by the knowledge of how brief it really is.

lunalovepotter July 3 2011, 20:16:50 UTC

Yes, exactly. The fact that their romance was so brief, and so full of tragedy, is one of the reasons why I love this pairing so much. Thank you!
