Ah! I am definitely a sucker for a good Secret Garden story. And this is a lovely one. With the robin-as-magical-helper and all.

This a great use of the keeping secrets theme. I love that Ginny finds her own path back from the grief and anger to life and Harry, and I loved the way you used the garden to affect that transformation.

And I loved Liam. But how in the heck are they going to show him the garden???

Yay! Thank you so much! And hahah, I don't think poor Liam will ever get to see the garden unless they blind fold him. I suspect he would be game!

Probably. He seems like the kind of guy who would be up for just about anything...

And now, because I've been around fandom for far too long, I have a mild-BDSM!Harry/Ginny/Liam/Garden plot bunny bounding around in my head. XD

You already know how much I love this, I think. It's really amazing. The Secret Garden is an absolutely perfect inspiration for this challenge, and I completely adore the way that Ginny is so methodical and matter-of-fact about her secret -- she just does what she needs to do and doesn't feel like anyone else needs to know about it. :)

This is so lovely! It has the right amount of angst and in the end the kind of fluff that made me tear up a bit, coz finally, they're together again in their secret garden :)

In the beginning, I felt bad for Ginny, feeling always left behind, excluded by the rest. But she's a fighter, which makes her a great character, she bounces back!

I love the way you write H/G, you get them as a couple and as individuals. That's why your stories are endearing.

I'm sort of ridiculously pleased this made you tear up a bit. I think that makes me a sadist. Thank you so much for the review!

Wow. This was simply amazing. You really captured Ginny so well. This is one of my all-time favorite Harry/Ginny stories. Heck, one of my favorite HP stories period. Beautiful.
