Oh. My. God.

I have no words. Well, I have many words, but none to describe how much I love this. Stillness and Constellations is one of my least favorite of my fics, but you've expanded on everything I wanted to say in that, and never quite managed - the importance of love and family even through the betrayals on all sides.

The reverse storytelling fits this piece very well, and love how it feels to spiral backwards, to where it all started for them. You worked so much of my personal canon in, and just - wow. I love the scene with Narcissa and Lucius, and the triage scene - fixing a plot hole I didn't even realize was there and capturing my view of Andromeda and the sheer brutality of war - superbly done.

I could not have asked for better.

I am SO happy that you liked it! I am really surprised that this is one of your least favorite fics - I, obviously, saw a lot in it. I'm really, really pleased that I kept with what you were trying to say. I was hoping to do just that.

I love that you said it seemed to spiral backwards - wonderful image, and what I was hoping for! THANK YOU!

Just ask Amy (who I hear you've been talking to) - I've gushed about how awesome it is to her several times.

I agree; Stillness had a lot of potential, but I don't think I realized it in the original. You did in the remix, though. :)

I cannot thank you enough for this amazing Remix!

Hahaha. I, um, might have already been passing on your glee. *is sneaky like that* I was involved in high conspiracy and it was great fun.

I thought that might be the case. :P

(I don't have spies in your brain! Or, at least, I don't think so.)

Uh, yes, I did get a little information from another source! I'm just so happy that you liked it. I really hoped you would. :)

Of course I did. It really is a wonderful story.

I hope my dearth of fics didn't cause you too much trouble; I was very worried that I was going to make my Remixer's life miserable because they didn't care for the stories and there weren't really enough. (And I also hope you liked the originals.)

I still can't thank you enough for writing this story. I know Remix isn't a gift fic exchange, but this feels like it was written just for me.

I knew I recognized your username from somewhere! You wrote during nest_of_spiders, didn't you?

Hey there, I just noticed this comment - I'm here because I am working up to finally repost as I procrastinate on writing other things. In answer to your question, yes I did write during nest of spiders, in fact it was the first place I ever posted fic!
