FIC AND ART?!?!???? DEAR ME, I JUST FEEL EXTREMELY UNDESERVING OF THIS AMAZING GIFT. T___T AHHHHHHH! *runs around*

The clock's worn exterior and dark, filthy interior are sure to attract at least one or two Crimson-toed Crickets, and the broken clock mechanism will ensure that they aren't frightened away by the cuckoo. Merlin knows we could all use the good luck right now.

As soon as I read this line, I knew I would love this fic. :D :D Ohhh, batty Lovegoods ♥♥♥

SO, I ADORE THIS FIC A LOT OMG. It's just generally very well-written, and there's so much wonderful attention to detail and I LOOOOOVE the characterizations, especially Luna's. :D She's such a good balance of space cadet and level-headed intelligence. Heeee, her letter to her past self is completely perfect, as are the various other letters and newspaper articles. AHAHA DEMPSTER WIGGLESWADE. ♥ I just really like how you put in so many nice wizardly details, like that name, and various magical creatures. THE MINUTEMITE!!! SUCH AN AMAZING IDEA FOR TIME TRAVEL. I love that Xenophilius was the only one who really studied them/believed they were real, and the detail about the misuse of magical timepieces could cause minutemites to do crazy shit with time travel. DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE HOW YOU USED TIME TRAVEL IN THIS? IT'S SO GREAT. :DDDDDD

AHH and did I mention that the sex at the end was really nice? LOL they just had to get away from the Weasleys' so quickly so they could do their biznass. :D

The art, oh, THE ART. :)))))) I FEEL SO UTTERLY LUCKY TO RECEIVE SUCH AN EXTRAVAGANT GIFT, IDEK HOW TO REACT. The art is so sweet and lovely, and this is totally a Harry/Luna-esque moment. I love her stripey socks and her flowing hair and HARRY'S EXPRESSION. So priceless.

You are the best, seriously, I cannot wait to find out who you are. :D :D

YAY, I'm so glad you liked it! I've enjoyed your art for so long that I really wanted to give you a little something extra, hence my meager attempts at artz. I love writing Luna, and when I saw time travel in your prompt, it just seemed to fit.

I'm afraid I can't claim Dempster as my own; I found him on the Lexicon. But I can claim the Minutemite! I had a whole elaborate zoological record written out for them, too, only to find no good place to stick it in the fic. X)
