You're very welcome *g*. I was having a lot of trouble with my existing Zacharias/Luna fic, but when I decided to copy your letter format this came to me very easily.

Your Luna is PERFECT, she's the perfect balance between intelligent and out there that so few people can capture.

While I can see that Luna is a character with a huge amount of comic potential, I don't like the fics that portray her solely as a running joke. And I love to pair her and Zacharias together because they're both very strong personalities, yet quite different from each other.

I really enjoyed the relationship between Zacharias and Luna, too, and especially the way Zacharias is sort of "I can make fun of you for being weird but you're not allowed to do it to yourself" about it all.

I think the difference between how Zacharias and most of the other students at the school make fun of Luna is that he doesn't do it in a mean way, more in a laughing-with-you way. Luna can see that so she doesn't get offended (although she doesn't seem to notice when people make fun of her in canon either ;p).
