I must applaud you for following your inspiration where it led you, particularly as any prompt fest's primary purpose is to inspire the creation of more fan works centered upon its theme. Many readers will find this story quite unexpected; I most certainly did. I also found it well in keeping with certain of your characters that you did not sanitize them; you have my respect for that. As well, I think you packed a lot of detail and action into a relatively short fic. Kudos! -iulia_linnea

P.S. I agree with Posting Mod's up-rating of your fic; it's in line with the ratings guidelines that we follow.

Thank you!
I will certainly not argue with a rating decision, for one.

My main difficulty with much of the FF going around is that characters, with whom we fell in love because of their complexity and faults, do get marysued in ff... so I've tried to stay clear.

Is unexpected a good thing?

[iulia_linnea]

You're welcome. :D

Unexpected is a great thing. I'm a devoted fan of both the fresh perspective and realistic reading of character in fic. That said, when reading and writing in general (and not with regard to your fic), I can certainly see see how time might change our favorite characters through the sort of growth most people experience, and I enjoy thinking about how the characters might behave in odd, even absurd, situations.

That's prolly why girl!Harry Snarry intrigued me as much as it once did. ;P

Wow! What an original take on the prompt! I like the idea of her magic being tied to him.

Great characterisation and I enjoyed the way all the characters have very real flaws.

Thank you...

There are some stories -some of them true- of people loosing a skill or a gift after a sentimental wreck. I just went with the unhappy flow...

Thanks for reviewing!
