oh my god. oh my god, Maggie. you, with the bella- and the andromeda and narcissa- and s;dflksjd;lfkj HARKISS! and the difference, with remus, and the he still loves you- oh. and the afterlife, where everyone is loved after all, and bella as she always should have been, and who knew that that, of all things, was something that i wanted? not me, for sure. *squishes you* &hearts &hearts &hearts

Who knew we were both such romantics? (Well, to be honest, I suspected you had a bit of it in you. *smile* But I've clearly out-romanticized you!) Then again, it was really lovely to fix things, for once, after dwelling on the problems. Thanks for reading! M.

Oh, that made me smile! I really enjoyed all of that, although the bits with Aidan Harkiss tore me up. (Must re-read the original.) Sam's a lucky girl! :)

Glad you enjoyed! I place all blame for your Aidan-related heartache on Kris. *smile* Thanks for reading! Maggie

Wow - not only great as a remix, but even as a stand-alone fic this would be amazing. I think I liked the last section especially; just the way you described the afterlife was so...peaceful, happy, and the differences between the cousins'/sisters' interactions in the beginning and the end was great.
Lovely!

(Sorry, wrong account.)

Bellatrix and Andromeda threatened to take over there for a while, didn't they? Thanks so much for reading and commenting! Maggie

oh man, that was fantastic. I loved the afterlife part, with all the different kinds of kisses, Andromeda and Bella, and also, Regulus waiting for Narcissa. I really loved that small detail.

...Regulus waiting for Narcissa. I really loved that small detail.
*smile* So glad you enjoyed. Thank you! Maggie

Oh, this was excellent! Your characters are all so wonderfully real. I loved the afterlife part the best, I think--such an original concept of the afterlife and one I like, including the kisses.

Sirius' kissing-communication theory was a fun touch.

::happy sigh:: thank you.

Glad you enjoyed! It was fun to write about reconciliation, for once. (Sirius doesn't seem to get much of it during his lifetime.) Thanks for reading! Maggie
