I love how you portrayed their changing relationship with each Christmas! The angst! one was particularly good (and it happened on my birthday, so extra props to you for that :D ). ;)

Thank you!

I think the angsty bit is my personal favourite, actually. It was certainly the part that wrote itself. :)

Beta schmata, this is wonderful :)

I love the hair clips, and I especially liked seeing their reappearance in 1997.

Like you, I'm not a big fan of AU, but it always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, so it can't be a bad thing ;)

Excellent fic :)

*blushes* You're very kind, thank you.

I'm rather fond of the hairclips myself, in fact I think I'd quite like a pair...;)

And yeah, I'm a total hypocrite when it comes to AU, so it's good to know I'm not alone, lol.

LOL Your petulant teenaged Teddy is priceless. Seems like he's got a bit of Cousin Sirius in him... And of course Remus and Tonks are unrattled by this and just torment him all the more.

Really liked this a lot, especially the way you bookended it with party scenes at Grimmauld and kisses on the cheek.

Ooh thank you!

Teenage Teddy was so much fun to write, as well as R+T winding him up. Poor Teddy, parents can be so annoying, lol.

Really liked this a lot, especially the way you bookended it with party scenes at Grimmauld and kisses on the cheek.

Really glad you noticed that, as I'm ridiculously proud of the full-circleness, lol.

Awww! I adored this! I love how you progressed through the Christmases in their relationship, and then ended with Teddy and Victoire, wrapping it up at Grimmauld where it started! Nice closure!

(I really liked how you added a touch of Nargles, that made me grin!)

Adored? Wow, thank you!

I'm glad you liked the ending - originally I had no intention of including any Teddy/Victoire, but when I got there it seemed like the most obvious course of action, lol.

I love Nargles. I think I will try and slip them into everyday conversations. ;)

(Oh, and congrats on getting your sparkly ring!)

I love how all you non AU writers are writing great AU stories! As a complete AU girl, this made me very happy and I loved to see R/T still Frisky after all these years! I think this was a much better epilog than the one in a certain book which shall not be named! Thanks for posting!

Lol. I've decided to just embrace my hypocricy when it comes to AU, for the sake of my own sanity. ;)

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it as it was mostly great fun to write. Thanks for your lovely review! :)
