I LOVE THIS. You pushed all my little squiggly fangirl buttons I can't help but feel this was for ME ME ME!!

First:

His eyes grew widen in a face still gaunt from long months of illness, and she felt the sudden urge to pull him in for a hug-he still wasn’t far enough from his deathbed for her to stop panicking every time he lost his breath.

*sniff* I have a weakness for this sort of thing, really--for a Hermione who cares for the poor guy...

After that, there were only snippets: brushing the eyes of little Dennis Creevey closed with her fingertips, watching to horrified expression on Molly Weasley’s face as Fred’s body was recovered from the wreckage, vomiting up her first meal in two days because she didn’t fully believe that the chicken breast wasn’t human…

and *that* conveys the horror of the aftermath better than many, many a fic I've read. Or JKR for that matter.

Luna followed closely with Sentient Scrabble (now includes automatic spell-check!) tucked under her arm.

I wants it! Where can I get it!

“But, Ronald,” said ( ... )

Ditto on every one of those quotes and how they enhanced the overall story. Again, this is sheer brilliance.

I'm so pleased that you liked it and very deeply glad that I started over.

I wants it! Where can I get it!

Coming soon to your local branch of WWW!

I love my gift--this isn't a ficlet--it's a short story.

I did warn you about my verbosity.

And thank you for liking it. :)

Tsks. I didn't say like. I didn't mean like.

Loved. Because this is the kind of fic I read fanfic for--that has me smiling, has me moved, has me lingering over lines worth savoring.

So love.

And I'm not exactly complaining about length--more to love.

In that case, thank you for the love.

Sigh... yours was the easy one-I know what you like. Now I have to play a guessing game on everyone else. :D

Renita likes what I like... (Shameless ploy to be greedy). Hmmm--she can probably speak for herself. Renita? :goes to grab her on YIM:

I am not a fan of teh darkfic unless it has some god awful fluffiness at the end.

I love fluff, fluff and more fluff. I like to have silly grins while I read teh ficcage. I also like a little heartache so that you appreciate things more in the end. There is really nothing too fluffy for me...as long as it is in character.

Help any?

Hmmm... *ponders* I've only ever written one thing that was sort of dark once, so I should be able to manage that. :D

Are you okay with extreme silliness? Because that tends to happen a lot as well...

Extreme silliness is always a fav.

Seriously, the only way you could displease me is by writting threesomeness. And that's really only because of the current LMHGss climate of things of late.

:D

Excellent. I may now have to fight the bunnies with tooth and nail, as I suspect that they are rabid ninja rabbits.

Good to know, as I do sometimes dabble in Luciusness. Will bear in mind--thanks.

That I should be able to snap a picture of, if you're willing to wait a month or so...
