Before I actually say how much I loved this 4 parter, I have to tell you that not only I am I impressed as per usual at how well the characters are in character, it's how you've really been able to make them a modern AU and still enchanting to read.

The tie in's with the books are WONDERFUL. Everything about it screams the characters in a muggle setting, but I think I was actually most impressed with the idea of how the Potter's past away in your version and that it was Remus who got him out of jail.

Truly awesome!

Secondly, I will tell you again and again, but your characterisation of the relationships in your stories always feel very real even though I'm sure they were very well thought out. I'm madly in love with your dialogue, just as much as anything else.

So what I'm trying to say is I love your work, and I'd love to see how the rest of this story would pan out even if it's just in short drabbles.

*hugs!*

I'm so glad you liked it! This drove me crazy with worry over how people would feel about it... Thank you for reading, dear. <3

I'll see what I can do about continuing in drabbles. Maybe some artist I know could give me a prompt...? ;D

You really had nothing to worry about. I actually realized as well finally finishing Storm Front of the Dresden Files that you're heavily inspired by Jim Butcher (Dude, Murphy Tonks Martial Arts connection FTW =D) which is always good thing!

And I'd love to prompt you, actually my boyfriend drew this before he got to read the fic (I forced him too, because I actually went on about this fic all day) and he really enjoyed it so we thought you should have it even if it's only a small tribute to the story : http://s562.photobucket.com/albums/ss65/solochan/remustonksdoodle.jpg

I really am, and in this case it wasn't as accidental as usual (thirteen books and that influence kind of sinks in, you know!) I'm a huge fan of his style. And (I think I was talking about this in another comment) Murphy and Tonks have always seemed very similar to me so I thought I'd run with that and see where it went.

AHHHHH! That is absolutely awesome, there are no words for how excited I am. I hope you don't mind if I link to that when I repost these at my own journal! Thank you so much, and thank you, solochan's Boyfriend! ♥

No worries, use it however you like =D I'm sure he wont mind. It didn't take him any time at all to draw, because he's an amazing at drawing and he really did love the fanfic!

I'll let him know today, maybe you could just link his blog just because then people can see his other stuff? it's http://www.jamieiles.blogspot.com
