Poor Marietta :( I almost cried when Cho told her that she didn't want her... something about the way it was written was just especially heartbreaking.

Thank you so much for reading! I've always loved this pairing and I have such a soft spot for poor Marietta. I'm glad I was able to properly convey her emotions for you.

Argh! Heartbreaking because it seems so true. You've really captured the essence of unremitting, unrequited (or at least not requited as the lover would have it) love.

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you felt it was realistic, I definitely appreciate that. :)

This is so sad but beautifully written! These are such minor characters from canon, yet you managed to pull out the key strands of their personalities that canon does give us, and run with it. Cho being so trusting, wearing her heart on her sleeve (and crying! ha, so canon) and Marietta being so devoted to Cho but also with a slightly conniving streak to her that's straight from canon. Loved it!

Thank you so much! I love this pairing and I'm always pleased when someone enjoys my take on Marietta, I have such a soft spot for her.

Such a tragic story. Unrequited love between best friends always is. You wrote this in such a great way, telling their story slowly and it was so sad when Cho told her she didn't want her. Such great characters you created.

Thank you so much! I'm very pleased by your kind words. :)

Oh, this is so sad and lovely. You capture Marietta's pain and Cho's almost cruel obliviousness so well. Just really well done. <3
