I was in a mood to rip characters apart. With the second, especially, it gets missed sometimes that war doens't leave people untouched.

Thank you :)

These were both incredible! I think the first one was amazing, it really sounds like it would be an awesome longer length fic as well. And the description was great... The second was also great, in the sad, mournful way. Just beautiful.

Thank you :)I've never written any Maurader-era fic before (and probably won't again), but this just fit with the song at the time. I also felt that it led nicely into the total destruction of Harry's life.

Wow. I love them both, but the second one touched a feeling I've been trying to write about for a long time in longer fics. I guess that shows that less is more. Great job.

Less *is* more, I find. It takes work, but sometimes a drabble can carry more weight than a longer fic.

Thanks :)

Wow, I love them both as well. Wonderful job. I love the way you wrote the second one, and I think that it would be a wonderful longer fiction as well.

Thank you :) There is something to be said for the brevity of a drabble... it has to carry the impact in such a tight space.

OMGosh. They are amazing. Particularly the second. Infact the first too. Ilove them. Very very well done.
