Oh that was brilliant. I loved all the little details and I adore Ginny for trying to use 'reparo' on the car. Trust Luna to find the beauty in a burning car. Love it. Thanks for sharing ♥ ♥

Thanks so much! These are such lovely things to say and have made me quite happy. :) I sometimes wish I could use 'reparo' on my car or household appliances and the like. *sigh* If only, if only.

Oh my goodness, Kat, you work fast! I actually jumped in my chair when I saw this and I nearly let the kettle boil dry while I was reading it a second time :)

This is awesome! It feels so warm and summery. I absolutely love the idea of them planning to go to the seaside in Mr Weasley's car because that's just plain adorable, but I love this wacky misadventure even more. I giggled at Ginny's frustration with the "fancy driving language" and Luna's reaction at the end is so perfect.

You've captured exactly what I love about these two: Ginny's stubbornness paired with Luna's dreamy self-assurance, and the way Ginny acknowledges and appreciates Luna's strangeness without ever laughing at her.

Thank you for this, darling! It put a huge smile on my face-- and that smile's probably going to be stuck there for the rest of the night, even as I slog through calc homework <33

hehe! You can blame the fact that my flight was so delayed yesterday that my airline sent me home instead of to my layover, so I was off this morning when I wasn't scheduled to be. I used the time wisely and wrote fanfic. ;) Some days my "grown up" existence makes me laugh.

This pairing makes me smile too! Considering the fact that I never did finish my IDoF fic, maybe I can claim this one... it's only, erm, three months late. *facepalm* I don't know if it's pairing centric enough to count, but this is what appeared in my brain when I got your prompt and wondered at first how on earth I was going to get Ginny and Luna in a Muggle car... and then I thought of this and I typed it up in about 15 minutes this morning! It's nice to be writing, even if it's just quickie stuff like this.

Anyway, glad it made you smile! Good luck with all that calc-y stuff! (I never even took calculus, which probably reflects poorly on me, so I can't even imagine. *shudder*)

Dude, your job sounds awesome, seriously. Tough but awesome. And anything that gives you fic-writing breaks is pretty sweet too :P

Ahaha, this totally counts! I mean, idk, I know it's not ~explicitly~ femslash, but lady-centric gen is always welcome in my books :)

Oh man, thanks for the luck! (I should probably stop complaining about calc since I'm in engineering and I actually want to do grad school one day which means it is not going to ease up anytime soon, heh.) And the fic! Thanks for that too, it really made my day <3
