This was sweet. I especially liked the explanation of what Justin told Bob to do, and how Bob planned to get around it. That does a good job of explaining how Harry ended up the way he did, despite his uncle's plans.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! When I first had the idea, I had no idea that it was going to be as sweet as it turned out. I'm glad you liked it and enjoyed Bob's scheme to turn Morningway's words against him. Thanks again for writing me to tell me you enjoyed my story and for leaving such kind words of feedback! :)

This is absolutely exquisite, every word rang true and your take on Bob in particular is just fantastic. Please tell me you've written more, and if not, that you soon will be!

Thank you! Your words have left me a little breathless. I'm glad you think my characterizations rang true. I was really concerned that I was overdoing it with Bob, so I'm excited to read that you thought it was true to his character. I have written one drabble and a larger story called, "The Story's End" which you were kind of enough to leave me feedback for. Both stories can be found here. For good or ill, "The Story's End" has been revised somewhat from its previous incarnation. I'm thinking that I have one or two stories left in me, so if my muses cooperate, I will be writing more. Thanks again for writing me to tell me you enjoyed my story and for leaving such kind words of feedback! :D

I actually checked for your other stuff right after I sent that comment and then went, "OH right, that author, no wonder her Bob's so damn good." :)

Of course reading all the incredible fic that this fandom is already producing is making me a little scared to dip my foot in the pool myself.

Wow! You keep going and I'll never stop smiling. I'm about ready to light up the neighborhood as it is! ;D

I look forward to see what you'll come up with in the way of stories. Come on in! The water's just gettin' warmed up!

Stunningly sweet and heartbreaking at the end. I love it. You capture them both so well and, God, I want to cuddle poor Harry. *cuddles him then snatches Bob's skull too for cuddles*

Write more. Please?

Thank you! When I first had the idea for this story, I had no clue that it was going to be as sweet as it turned out to be. I'm thrilled that you thought my characterizations were accurate. I was really worried that I was overdoing it with Bob's character. Thanks again for writing me to tell me you enjoyed my story and for leaving such kind words of feedback! Oh! And can I join the cuddlefest? I call dibs on Bob first! :D

I really like flashback stories btwn. young Harry and Bob and I think this is one of the best I've read.

You're characterizations are spot on. I can easily see how your Young Harry would grow up to be the Adult Harry. I also really liked that you've shown Bob as not being yet comfortable with being around Harry. Very nice touch and believable.

Please write more?

Thank you! Oh my gosh! You're making me blush! I'm thrilled that you thought my characterizations were spot on. I was really concerned that I was overdoing it with Bob, so I'm excited to read that you thought my characterizations rang true.

I'm thinking that I may have one or two stories left in me to tell, so if my muses cooperate, I will be writing more. Thanks again for writing me to tell me you enjoyed my story and for leaving such awesome words of praise! :D

Aww. I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for. It's so believable and sad.

Thank you! I'm glad you found my story to be believable. The characters' and their emotions seemed to want to write themselves. Thanks again for leaving me feedback! :)
