Loved Luna's perspective and the changing POVs. It's nice to see how you managed to squeeze in a little insight in so few words. Well done *g*

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked Luna. I've never written her before and she's a difficult voice for me.

Oh god, beautiful. The backward timeline, Harry's bookending stories, Ginny's, Luna's....wow, just wow. This is such a sad look into DH, but so well done. *claps*

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Some lovely personal observations here. I like the way that you identify what is arguably the worst moment in each character's year, and yet don't quite succumb to complete angst. There's a lot of determination in these words.

reverdybrune January 25 2008, 23:15:57 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad you saw the determination. I had to try hard not to let it sink into complete angst. ;)

That was totally wonderful and Harry is everywhere and they all get through their dark moment and yes.

reverdybrune January 25 2008, 23:17:07 UTC

Thank you! Yes, Harry is everywhere, and they're all united by their connection to him, even if their perceptions about what kind of person he is are slightly different. ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This was really lovely. I usually don't go for second person, but I was drawn in from the first line and couldn't stop until the end. You've captured each of them so perfectly, and putting Harry at the beginning and end is just the right touch.

reverdybrune January 25 2008, 23:19:15 UTC

Thank you! I find myself ending up in the second person more and more often now. I think it makes it easier for me to get inside the characters' heads. I'm glad you like Harry at the beginning and the end. It had to come full circle. ;)
