I’ve Never Asked

[catsintheattic]

Wow! Just wow!

I loved the perspective of Harry's daughter, how the different fates enfold through her eyes. This was so bittersweet and calm and wonderful. I liked how she is *trying* so much to understand, how she watches and analyses and thinks about them all - so much a girl thing, I guess - but she isn't able to really grasp it. And this not-quite-getting-it is voiced in such a perfect way!

Great job! Thank you very much for sharing!

asldfajsld HOKAY. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THIS.

As a rule, I don't usually read third generation stuff, and of course you know why. most of it sucks. BUT. But, this was gorgeous. And heartwrenching. And sad. And WAUGH. *wails* Dead Harry!

*weeps*

I love it. Also? I love your first person.

[akissinacrisis]

Blarrrgggh first person.

There is something I need to do right now and it involves you. Be online.

Oh, man! How freaking sad, but hopeful somehow at the same time! This was really, really good and I'm glad I've read it even if I'm crying now.

Beautiful.

*snurfles* I can't believe you killed off Harry. *sobs*

I can't believe how little people I killed, after that J Ross interview.

WAI ARE YOU CRINGING FOR PUTTING THE ENEMY'S LYRICS IN? HUH

[akissinacrisis]

Woo I'm back.

OMG this is what JKR's editor must have felt like with DH, only a
thousand times better XD

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME IN THIS WAY!

The Neville thing ... I had to leave it in, because it's sort-of personal experience. The amount of teachers I know, who are perfectly normal people, who will suddenly go mad when their subject is mentioned ... yeah.

THANK YOU.

My friend used to work at a posh farmers' market where she met David Tennant and Jason Isaacs.

You killed off Luna! How could you!

Great story, by the way.

Late reply, but thank you! Sorry about Luna :X
