Thanks so much for reading! :)

Arghh that was brilliant, I loved it. I adore your Teddy, and your Harry was lovely and broken, but you fixed him :) Gorgeous fic! ♥

[hollycomb]

Thank you! Fixing broken Harry is one my favorite themes in fic. :)

[lotus_lizzy]

My heart broke for everyone. Everyone is so broken in this fic, and poor Neville! I'm tempted to hit you for abusing my poor Neville but I'm imagining his current boyfriend to be the best thing ever so its okay.

Lovely story and absolutely perfect for cam :)

Thank you so much! I was mean to Neville, but I gave him a perfect long-term boyfriend to make up for it, yes. :D

oh yes, so much love for this. aldehyde recced this, and i'm on such a huge harry/teddy kick, you have no idea. this is amazing. what i really love about this was the theme, well, maybe not really a theme, but it's there, of isolation and loneliness and how they manage to find each other. i think it's going to become a thing with me and this pairing.

Thanks so much for reading! I'm on a huge Teddy kick in general, and Harry makes so much sense with him. The orphan/loneliness thing just adds a whole other dimension, and there was so much angst in the Tonks/Remus relationship anyway (imo!) that Teddy is just a ball of potential Issues. :D

:D i'm going to friend you, if you don't mind -- i've already read 3 fics of yours and i've loved them all, so why not. :]

[hollycomb]

yay! I'll friend you as well. :)

Mmmmmm! Wonderful pairing, and I loved all the backstory about Harry's previous dalliances. :) The image of Teddy being fucked by someone in an Invisibility Cloak was awfully nice, too. :)

[hollycomb]

Thank you so much! I always find a way to work that Invisibility Cloak in somewhere. ;D
