I really like how Harry gets to be the strong and reasonable one, for once. Not that you're not giving him his own issues, but I'm so sick and tired of Eternally!Traumatized!Harry in a lot of fics that it's a very refreshing change to see him cope with his past in a mature, healthy manner.
I hope this isn't creepy but the dialogues Harry has with friends, and just with himself, about what he will and won't do for his friends, is very pertinent to recent dealings I've had with my sibs. This chapter is a nice model of good ways to deal with touchy issues, where everyone thinks they have a good idea, but none of those ideas are the same. LOL
Love how Harry toys with ideas like touching the wards to astoria's nose! That he doesn't do it, but considers it, means obviously he is a real, complex, human, not a simple saint.
Harry is so quietly stubborn in this fic, he would listen to other ideas but not adopt them unless he felt they were really superior to his own. Otherwise, he would just listen and say, "Okay," and go on doing what he's always done.
These people are pathetic. they need to let it go. They need to be offthe harry tit. Petty is a good title for this chapter. If they are morning the same ten years after the fact then they refuse to move forward. I'm speaking from real life experience. This is such a good chapter. You've pulled out my ire.
Harry does think that he can't force them to change and he wants to take care of them- I think he always wanted a family to take care of and this is one way to do it- but he does think that because they're mourning, it doesn't mean they get to control other people's behavior.
harry is for sure having a busy life - but it seems he is happy with it, so i'm glad that it is that way and omg yes please let there be a costum for dealing with new won friend exwifes that would be so much fun to read (not that i'm not already going over my head for a reaction from draco about his exwife and her visit to harry
- and for the other part just between u and me yes i noticed that u are updating this story and "keep this wolf" weekly so far but I'm like a pessimistic kind of person - i always persume that life migth turn busy for u and so u can not write another chapter in a week and I would have to wait longer and so not to disappoint me in the next week, but to be overexitedly happy about the new chapter i imagine that the next chapter is coming on on a mystery date --> it probably does not make much sense, and its one of the reasons I do not like reading wips but so far I cant stop reading those two of yours XDD so thank u for the weekly update- cant wait for the next one
Not a custom, but Harry wouldn't follow it anyway.
Well, "Keep This Wolf" has a definite day it updates; this is a little more variable, depending on when the other stories have updated. But thank you for giving them both a chance!
