Oh wow... I dunno whether I like your outcome or not. It's debatable. I do love how you wrote the characters though, and how you wove the story. Gods Teddy... You idiot :S But than again, given the chance, could any of us say we would make different choices?
Yes, I loved this. Lots and lots. Thank you :)

[midnitemaraud_r]

:-P Thank you! Yes, he was a bit of an idiot, but a responsible one, and yes - in those circumstances, I imagine a lot of us would have done what Teddy did, or similar. So now he's stuck trying to repair the damage, and it's a trade off in a way - he's lost everyone he knew, but he's gained his father and Cedric. (and Sirius :-P) Not quite equal, but at least he isn't alone.

So what problem did you have with the outcome? *is curious* :)

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Hmmm I think a lot of people would fuck up way worse than Teddy did actually. But yeah, he's an idiot. A cute idiot, but definately an idiot.

Hmmm well, to me, Teddy should eventually have ended up back in his own time and all would've been more or less well. But that's me I guess, it's simply the kind of endings I prefer.

This was sheer brilliance, seeing as I adore time travel and Cedric and Remus/Sirius subtext. And now I adore Teddy. I want some more but at the same time, I don't. Cos I don't want to know if Teddy ever goes "POOF" and disappears. I'm so gonna pimp this on my LJ.

Thank you! I've always loved Cedric, even though I'd never written him before, and I have a not-so-secret love for Cedric/Oliver. (My Quidditch OTP? :-P) and Cedric/Harry. Min wrote me a fabulous Cedric/Harry for springsmut last year, and since then I've been itching to write him myself. Tarie's prompt was just too good to pass up, especially because I also love time travel, and that was another thing I wanted to write. But I didn't want to use time turners for long distance cross-generational time travel (it's a big peeve of mine when they're misused, though I still read those fics anyway! :-P) and I also didn't want to ignore the consequences of time travel itself. The Room of Requirement was truly a godsend, and I used it mercilessly.

And I'm a total R/S OTPer so I really couldn't resist sticking in all that *cough*subtext*cough*. Hee!

You don't really think I'd just make Teddy go "POOF", do you? I mean, I'd have to have a really good reason for it... :-P

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Ye gawds, this is brilliant. I ♥ time travel, and this is SO immeasurably cool!
Gah. Teddy's wish, and the results, were fascinating, and the dystopia was a really interesting one.
The Teddy/Cedric was so sweet and hot, and Teddy's bonding with Remus and Sirius; and his sweetness with Cedric: all so well done!
Absolutely fantastic.

Also, notes I took during part 3:

"Don't grieve for me." {*sobz*}
"You didn't have to. Why else would you have come?" {moar tears}

Heh. Yeah. You have Evoked Emotion. Good job! :P Art, I say. ;p This is totally going in *memories*. ♥!

[midnitemaraud_r]

Eeeee! Thank you (again

[bethbethbeth]

Hah! I knew there was something I was supposed to have read!

God, this was fantastic. Complex and loving and creative and sexy and just so smart. Excellent, excellent work (and god, some of those scenes between Remus and Teddy just about killed me dead. Waaaah!)

Absolutely getting added to my recs page at the next update!

[midnitemaraud_r]

*hee* It wasn't going anywhere. :-P And I still can't believe I wrote a novella! It was bound to happen, my fics were getting longer and longer. :)

Oh, I'm SO glad you liked it! Yay! *does happy dance* I was writing this for Tarie, but there's so much of me and everything I love in this story, and I'm both overwhelmed and thrilled with the reaction it's received. (And I BAWLED when I wrote some of those scenes between Remus and Teddy!)

Thank you so much!! I'm so thrilled you liked it! Eeee! ♥ ♥

[stephanometra]

Oh, man, this is amazing. Beautifully realized.

[midnitemaraud_r]

Thank you so much! I was really happy with how it all came together, and I think it's my favorite story that I've written, which makes me chuckle a bit because it's such an odd pairing, and not one I would ever have conceived of without Tarie's prompt. I think that's why I enjoy fests so much - they really challenge me to be more creative and think outside my own 'preferences' box. :)

Anyway, thank you for reading! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
