I know! It was so frustrating! But thanks for commenting :) I'm glad you liked it.

LJ is odd. But maybe it's good because I can't remember if I commented on this before or not. And it's lovely and Luna is very Luna-ey. And I love that she's /right/. So yay!

Honestly, I can't remember whether you did or not either. :) I posted so many fics during such a crazy time, so who even knows. But thanks for commenting now! :) And I'm so glad you found Luna in character! This was my first time writing her and I was a little nervous, but she ended up being a lot of fun.

I'm rather bummed about it, but more just confused. It took me a while to notice that it was even missing, because I've been so crazed with moving prep and I'd posted so many of them so close together that things kinda swam together. Pity-- I wonder if it would have been correctable if I'd been more on the ball. Ah, well, that way madness lies!

Thank you! :) Lovely and magical is exactly what I was going for. ♥ And Zach needs some kindness.

This is so lovely! So magical and dreamy, and you've captured exactly what I love about this pairing - the contrast between cynicism and wonder, and how even the grouchiest cynic may have something in his heart that is receptive to innocence and beauty. :) And the chinks in Zach's armour - those little moments where we glimpse that he does appreciate having a friend and that loneliness does get to him and he does have inclinations to be gentle - which leave him open to Luna's talents for affectionate ambush. :) And how they do have this one thing in common, these two: they're both people who bluntly tell the truth. It's just a matter of perspective.

Completely adored it. You should see the smile on my face. :D Thank you so much, you wonderful Christmas fairy, you! ♥

YAY! I loved this comment. Thanks for reposting it for me. ♥

... and a new one! thimble_kiss January 23 2011, 09:35:37 UTC

You get sparkly January hugs, too! I still adore this on re-reading, and though I'm sad you lost the original post and comments, I'm so glad you put it up again so I can read it. :)

You make my chest ache for Zach and then you let Luna make everything wonderful. What a sweet kiss! This pairing truly has a touch of magic to it, even beyond the magic of fairies. :)

Sparkly January hugs are also wonderful! I still have no idea what happened ... so baffling. Thanks for being so understanding about your gift vanishing.

I'm thrilled that you still like it on rereading. I really loved writing Zach-- I've got a soft spot for characters who get a bad rap in canon.

Thank you! ♥ *sparkly January hugs you back*
