This was so beautiful. I've always shipped Luna/twins and it broke my heart when Fred died. I can imagine George and Luna moving on this way together.

This is really beautiful. You captured the loss of a loved one in such ways I did not think were possible...

I know I'm quite late to the game here, but I just had to comment about this fic. It has so much going for it and it is just so heartbreaking and real. There were a couple parts that stood out, in particular, to me.

It had always been Fred and George, and now George knows why.

When they were younger, he was jealous that it was Fred and then George. On the birthday cakes through the years, and whenever they were mentioned in conversation. F came before G in the alphabet. Fred came before George on class rosters. But George knows why. Now everyone calls for George, there is no calling for Fred. Because if George were the one to go, they would call for Fred but then the "and" would invariably come after, hanging in the air like a broken promise, the preamble to the summoning of something so far away it hurts somewhere in his shoulder when he starts to reach.

Fred came before and Fred left first.

It only made sense.

This part just killed me. I really thought it got to the heart of the loss that one must feel when losing a twin,
