Just... Wow. This was raw. You have such a talent. This story honestly hurt. Glass shards inside your soul kind of hurt, amazing. The broken characters and their relationship, perfect. Just...Wow2
Just one question though, have you ever been to Africa?

Thank you for your response!
As for Africa, no, I've never been. I know there are some inaccuracies in things like geography and political policies, but this is just a story after all; or moreso, Harry's story of Africa. :)

Oh! I didn't mean it like that, I felt that it was just so perfect the way you discribed it. It was just like my French teacher (who has been) discribes it to us. I was going to pout at your luckiness. heh.
Half-way through the second part I found myself just flat-out weeping, and it wasn't anything about the plot. It was just the sheer beauty of your writing.
You know I adored Wildfire and Paris, but this. This just takes my breath away for depth and poetry and characterization. What an utterly creative, unique plot.
This is exactly what I needed to read tonight. Puts my world in perspective.
You are my most absolute darling. Can I keep you forever and ever?
Seriously though, thank you. It means a lot to me that you have so much confidence in my writing. I really, really does. And I can't promise to never doubt it again, but I do give you future permission to smack me with something soft and squishy if you catch me doing it. *G*

Thank you so much for such in-depth feedback! And I feel honored that you think I've done the people of Africa justice, having been there yourself. I admit that that was one of my biggest fears going into this.
And feel free to babble here any time. That's really all that ever goes on in my life. :D

Oh no problem, I hope it isn't a bother though. Ah, I haven't been to Africa, sorry I meant I'e seen the suffering elsewhere (namely India), I should have been more clear.
Sure, why not? After all incoherent semi coma babbles are love :D
This fic had me in tears. I normally don't like to read angst because i tend to dream about it and I'll cry for days before i cheer up. But I really liked your style of writing. It's simply beautiful. I love the rawness of the emotions that were subtly stated with touches between Harry and Draco, the doubt and need between them, and the brokenness of each.
