I don't have anything constructive to say, but just, wow, I got chills reading this.

[nekare]

Well, that's flattering enough, so thank you!

Wow. um yeah.

Thanks, sweet. :)

there’s no need for words

Maybe I just repeat that line!
This was amazing! I *loved* this - really. I didn't read much of this pairing or Bill yet but every story makes him more vulnerable and stronger at the same time.
He's much more than the boy with more scars than Harry (sarcasm this way ;)) or just Fleurs becoming husband. ;)
He becomes alive in your story with worries and needs, with love and pain, with disappointment and success which tastes bittersweet. You showed every side of him: a warrior, the brother and son, the husband,... at least just the man.
Really well written and just... *sigh*

Wee!! Your comments always make me so giddy! XD

I've always liked Bill (and Fleur, in all honesty, she's underapreciated), but I'd never been that interested in him. That's why I like this kind of challenges, actually, it makes you get under a character's skin. :)

Thank you so much, hon!

Very nice. :) Enjoyed reading it... Especially the sensory details and the Bill and Kingsley interaction; nice contrast there, aye. Also liked the way you presented Fleur and her magic.

"Now Death Eaters have faces when they capture them..."

Particularly liked that line. :D Also the bit about the remnants of the Dark Mark; quite the thought, that. And yay for Moody taking control of the Order, aheh. *thumbs up*

Wee, Fleur's magic is still burning in my mind, so maybe I'll go and write more on it. Glad you liked that, I gave it quite the thought XD

Hehe, at first I was going to make Lupin take over, but it didn't... fit.

Thanks so much for the comment!
