I love it! The last line is so cute, it's defintely something I can see Ron saying. I love how torn Ron is, and I think that's something that isn't shown enough in Post-DH fics. You did a great job!

[charma_10]

Thank you so much! I tried so hard to achieve a balance in Ron, because he would have had other things on his mind post-battle. I really wanted to stay true to what I believed he would be like post-battle so I'm really glad you liked it :)

I'm in tears here! LOL (of course keep in mind I'm 6 months pregnant and the hormones are taking over) But this is a very lovely, thoughtful fic and I think it's one of the best post war fics I've read. I love that Ron is so torn and Hermione is also. It's exactly how I thought they would be and I've been waiting to read this story since DH came out. Thanks for a great read!

(Now I'll go read some fluff so I can stop crying! LOL)

Oh thanks so much! I'm just floored at your compliments. I'm sorry I made you cry though (hormones or not). I really wanted to find that balance between the romance and the confusion and grief both Ron and Hermione would have been feeling post-battle, without making it too angsty and sad.

I'm just so thrilled you enjoyed it as much as you did. It's a real confidence booster.

So, so lovely. You really worked this out, Jaimee! And this line: I thought we just were. I went all squibbly. How perfect a line for Ron! Beautiful job, darlin'

[charma_10]

Thanks! For a while there I wasn't sure it was going to happen. Remember all those OMG I'm DYING posts on my journal...I'm so glad with how it turned out :)

I have to admit, I totally thought of Rupert saying that line when I wrote it.

[birdofparadise]

AGREED. That's one of my favorite lines. It really struck me as just... guh.

This is perfect. I want this to be the canon way things transitioned for them. I feel like you really captured both of them sooooo well.

[charma_10]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad this is getting such positive feedback :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's my canon, so you can borrow it as yours if you like :)

I am blinded by your awesomeness. This was AMAZING! You found such a wonderful balance with their emotions. Hermione's lines before their kiss were so touching and spot on. Glad to see them being honest with themselves and each other. Also love the big brother advice from George and Bill!

[charma_10]

Thank you for your positive thoughts. I'm really glad you liked it! I'm glad that I seem to have achieved the right balance of emotions and happy because I was so worried about it.
