Wonderful. Really, truly wonderful. You are good at conveying what a mother probably feels when she hs to give her first child away.

Fleur's accent is a bit distracting, though. But it's just as distracting in HBP :)

[johnnies_darlin]

Her accent was _so_ tough to write. I had to say all her lines out loud to figure out how they should "look."

But even so, I was surprised how much I enjoyed writing her.

Oh this is perfect! I love how you wrote Molly's voice - she's so wonderfully motherly and the reminiscing about when he was born was lovely. Such a great fic! I love it muchly muchly muchly! :D

[johnnies_darlin]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it! I'm the mother of a toddler, so I've got plenty of personal experience to draw from. *wink* But I tried to make sure it didn't get _too_ sappy. And I'm pleased you liked Molly's voice; I've never written her before (or Fleur either, come to think of it. Huh).

Again, I'm so happy this works for you. I was quite happy with the way it turned out, but I've been kind of nervous this past week, wondering what you'd think.

*happy dance*

Oh, and when I found out I was writing for you and snuck over to your journal and saw your squeeful post regarding secret Santas writing fics for you it gave me such warm fuzzies (even though I know it wasn't necessarily written for me) to know I would have such an appreciative recipient.

Very touching. I loved the interaction between Molly and Fleur. Molly's inner emotions were especially well done. Excellent fic!

[johnnies_darlin]

Whee! My first attempt at writing Molly, and I'm glad it's going over so well. Thank you for the feedback!

This is great! It makes my heart go squinch, but not in a "poor Molly/poor Fleur" way, but in a "yup, that's the way it is" one. Excellent work.

[johnnies_darlin]

Thank you!

Awesome, especially Fleur. She's amazing IMO, and you brought that out really well. And Molly, of course, mother lioness to the bone. And good job on French accent...that really is what it sounds like. *shoves Fleur into language-school*
