EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I love it. I love love love love love love LOVE it!

Murphy's voice is bang-on, and I adore the snippets from her childhood. Thank you so much!

Yay! I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for the wonderful prompt, it was a lot of fun to do. Murphy is a character I tend to shy away from in writing (I'm more comfortable with my Harry!voice), so it was cool to explore her a little more.

*huggles*

Hee! I love their exchange! Priceless. And the glimpses into her past and motivations -- beautiful! Very well done. :D

(It's entirely your fault that I just read book!fic. *eyes you* Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a new thing for me!)

Um, sorry? :p I suppose it's payback for you making me a Harry/Murphy shipper. *evil grin is evil*

Thanks for reading and the lovely comments. :-)

I did a double-take this morning when I saw a fic called "Desperate Measures" this morning, and wondered if I'd reposted it last night without realizing it. :D

Oh, did you do something with a similar title recently? I hate coming up with titles. Usually I only get them together at the last minute, but this one seemed obvious this time. :-)

*nodnod* I know whatcha mean. I usually end up having to grab somebody and ask, "Does this work for a title?"

Great Murphy voice and a look into her as a kid, along with the phone call. Great fic.

Thanks!

Thank you! Book canon scares me a little (it's so much bigger than tv canon), so that's a lovely thing to say!
