I think what I like best about this is that I feel just as lost and confused as Draco and Ginny. That confusion gives the whole piece an air of reality in its unreality. And yet at the end, there is hope that they will somehow eventually understand. Thanks for posting this!

I'm glad you liked it! I'm glad the confusion worked well- I wanted it to feel like sleepwalking, in a way, to try to get to that sort of peculiar reality-outside-reality the Sandman series does so well. Thanks for commenting!

*grins* Well, I had lovely timing, then. (I loved Worlds' End, but then, I enjoy the whole Canterbury Tales-style of storytelling.) I'm so glad I managed to tap into the confusion that is the Worlds' End.

And I'm so glad that you enjoyed the Endless! They gave me hell with the characterization, I'm so glad the end result worked. Thanks!

Very few people do Draco-Ginny interaction the way I like it, but this fic definitely does. And you do a great job of showing the confusion without making the fic itself confusing.

I have to admit I get frustrated with the way Draco-Ginny interactions usually go in fic, because it always seems to tread the same territory. I'm glad I managed to achieve something different! Thanks!

You already know how I feel about this little number. I adore anything you write, but you really out did yourself with this one. Your blending of HP/Sandman is seemless and wonderful and lovely and perfect. I knew you could do it with a bit of prodding encouragement!!

Thank you so much. You certainly didn't disappoint.

Now, you need to write the companion piece to this one :)

*grins* Yes, yes, I wouldn't have written this without your prodding. Thanks! I'm so glad I managed to write the Sandman aspects- you know how nervous I was about that!

Jeez, I write you fic and what do you do? Immediately ask for another. I'm going to take that as a compliment.
