My hp_beholder fic. This is my favourite exchange ever! And I'm fairly proud of my story and its response, despite the fact that I was expecting only florahart (my recipient) to get back to me. I was delighted by the response, actually :).

here via mindabbles. This was lovely; I really like your human Petunia, and your all-too-human Vernon, and the of-the-moment relationship between Petunia and Charlie was beautifully depicted.

(do you mind if I friend you? you write beautifully, and have interesting things to say.)

[lyras]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked Petunia and that the relationship worked.

And sure, friend away! Ooh, I see you have some Vorkosigan recs on your journal, so will friend back when I get a moment.

Oh hey! It's super-cool that you like Vorkosigan. :D

[lyras]

And you! My brain can really only cope with one proper fandom at once, but I do love the Vorkosiverse.

It's taken me ages to get to this, I know, but wow! This feels like a missing chapter from Deathly Hallows, really, with Petunia coming to terms with everything but without any dramatic decisions by the end. I loved the setting of this, Dumbledore's old house and the flying carpet that was actually a little plane, how fun! Your Charlie is wonderfully fleshed out in the space here, and their relationship feels so real to read. Fantastic, as ever!

Thank you, you always leave such lovely reviews! I had such fun planning this story, it was a real struggle to pull it down to a decent word count, and that probably shows. I could've written a novella just about their time in the Dumbledore house :). I'm so glad you liked it and found it plausible, though - thank you!
