Oh...

wretchedly beautiful. The stilted jumps from perspective mingled beautifully with the flow of decriptions and words. My favorite one was the exchange between Remus and Sirius right after Regulus's death. So exquisite. So pretty.

Thank you! Having each vignette from a different point of view was fun to write, even if it did give me fits to write on occasion - I'm so glad you liked it!

Owie. My heart. **winces**

Very wonderful. I love the bleak feel in the words ... your narrative matches really well with the stark beauty of the photographs. I think that my favourite part was Remus', after the Veil, especially: There is infinite space, he’s discovered, between the exhale of one breath and the pull of another to hold the pain of a falling soul.

Very beautiful, and one of the best treatments on this ... sort of fic? Sort of viewpoint, or moments like this? I can't really explain, but you have really captured all of these moments.

Thank you! I'm glad it made your heart hurt ;) - I wanted it to be the story of story (flashes of narrative, just little glimpses into a life) that tugged at the heartstrings (for good and for ill!). I'm so glad you liked it!

snapshots...that tell a story of entire lives of love, loss and dusty hope.

Thank you! That's what i was going for, with the words as much as the pictures!

I adore the sections, and the different pov's they really really work. the pictures fit perfectly - and, oh the heartbreak - the last line....

This is a beautiful story, and I love what you did with the photographs as well. Very original and it works wonderfully. A fantastic read.
