This is so wonderful! Ah, it's adorable and realistic and I'm so pleased that you wrote it.

You know, I was just grabbing the link/first para/etc for to update the fest tumblr - I've been putting off reading/reviewing till later - but I just started reading this, and I couldn't stop!

I loved how the four moments are so completely different, and yet seague together so well to show us such a distinct picture of the Lily/James relationship over the years. My favourite, to be honest, was tea with MWPP. It's so hard to find good MWP characterisation (I'm guilty of falling to stereotypes/OOC-ness, myself, I will admit), but they were just perfect there. fjskdf.

The mention of wizarding Manchester, of course, makes me smile! :D

Gorgeous piece, Leah - proof that a short vignette can pack as much of a punch as a bigger one. Definitely one I'll be re-reading in the future! :D Thanks for this.

Your kind words mean so much, dear! I'm so glad that you liked it. ♥ Thanks!

I really enjoyed this. I think the first or second vignette might be my favorite. And this: He tastes like… nothing. I, too, have it in my head that Lily tried dating some perfectly perfect Ravenclaw (to James chagrin and her own underwhelming). The whole thing reads along so nicely!

This was wondefully written. I love your analogies - they're beautiful! And I loved that this was a collection of vignettes that pretty much revolved around hot drinks (all the best things in life!)
