Thank you!

Oh my word. Very, very chilling. Good thing it's morning where I am. Hopefully I'll still be able to sleep tonight!

Oh, and I loved the details of their clothing. Androgyny, yay!

Thank you! I'm so pleased you liked it.

Man!!! What a classic tale of horror! I loved all the little details you added, the burnt smell, the roses, clinking wine glasses and how Pansy's and Ginny's relationship developed slowly but naturally. The whole idea of something/someone being just out of the corner of your eye, watching you always, messing with your mind is universally creepy! It gave me shivers to read it. I loved the ending, how we learn that Pansy's parents are locked in Janus Thickey and she's the one to have kept it quiet, followed by Harry taking her in and the cycle beginning again... yikes!

Excellent work. I loved the illustration too. You captured their expressions well and I really enjoyed how you portrayed their style of dress.

Thank you so much for this and for the rec. I really appreciated your alpha reading and cheerleading and you made this so much better than the somewhat clunky piece I started out with. Thank you!

Wow.
I was reading this, and I fell in love with the characters of Pansy and Ginny, and how different they were but still fitting perfectly together. And I loved the details like their clothing an choices of drink. And the mystery was intriguing.
And then there was that ending, and seriously, wow. I didn't see that coming, and you pulled it off perfectly. Great work :D

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you liked it. The prompt asked for androgyny so I wanted to include little details with the clothing and the art which played to that. I'm so happy you enjoyed reading the fic.

Oh, this was chilling! The slow-build of both their relationship and the horror is perfect - in fact, I was so enjoying the development of the Ginny/Pansy I momentarily forgot that this was dark!fic, so when Pansy started singing creepily and I remember the warnings I just went D: (but, honestly, in a good way!) I loved the touches of their growing feelings, the reluctance and the banter and especially the crossdressing. The subtle creepiness that lingers in every scene is so well done, and those last few scenes are terrifying.

SO HORRIFYING AND SO GOOD. ♥♥♥!
