Wow. I think this is absolutely astonishing, and such a lovely lovely look into Luna. You've captured all her quirks and her passion for life and her friends. It's just totally striking and it all fits together so well.

So many lovely lines, but I love this quite a bit:

Neville is a wonderful teacher, full of patience and genuine affection for his students. She knows he'll never really leave Hogwarts. She's known since the Battle. The castle has become his to protect.

Such a lovely point of view. Wow. Just a stunning fic.

Thank you so much! This was just a surprising-out of nowhere fic to write but I can never deny a ficathon, obviously!

I'm so glad you liked that Neville bit, it was one of my favourite to write. :D

There's something very engaging about this; I can't quite put my finger on it. It's very lyrical, absolutely enthralling and extremely beautiful. I think you really captured Luna's mindframe, especially how I imagine how her roundabout, indirect thought patterns must be. (I think the nonlinear structure really emphasized that and it was a good choice for the story!)

Wonderful job, as always. ♥

SORRY THIS COMMENT HAS TAKEN SO LONG.

And thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you liked it being one of my favourite writers because in case I don't tell you enough: you are.

(I think the nonlinear structure really emphasized that and it was a good choice for the story!)

It just... happened? Idk, I think that it's linear to Luna but not to others which makes it so very Luna. There is a thread connecting it that I was thinking about when writing it which is hopefully still there underneath everything. Again, thanks, hun!

Thank you!

This is so very lovely. You handle all the different pairings wonderfully, making all Luna's loves and romantic encounters part of a greater, cohesive whole, and all the little asides are just great.

Thank you so much! I think Luna is too Luna to really settle down the way other people do but she still has very important romantic and personal relationships. :D

[hariboo]

Thank you so much! :)

I love that Luna made so many friendships and that they stuck and that they're so important to her.
