I. Love. This! I've read it through five times now, and it's still sweet and magical. Just what I wanted to see between the two of them.

I love the gentleness in these tough characters as they're still sort of new in their relationship (or at least sharing their relationship with others). The touches were all beautiful--even the little things like knees bumping. But I love Neville applying a healing touch; it's so sensual and sweet. Great description throughout. Most of all, I loved all the little nods to their pasts--what they're willing to talk about & when, how Charlie views the scars, etc. Beautifully and carefully written.

And I am especially thrilled with the reason for the distraction that contributed to the accident. And the comment about the timing and having them all distract each other. heeheee! Brilliant!

Thank you for writing such a fantastic fic!

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it well enough for several rereads. That's one of the highest compliments to receive as a writer.

This story was very fun for me to write, and I'm thrilled so many of the elements worked for you: touches and distractions, descriptions and emotions. This is a pairing I haven't written before, but they worked so well together in my mind.

I don't have OTPs, but Charlie/Neville is one of my favorites, so thank you.

You're very welcome for the story. Thank you for donating to such a worthy cause.

Thank you. Neville has always been one of my favorite characters. He was understated in a lot of ways.

I liked the complex emotions in this and I'm intrigued by your characterization of Neville with his refusal to talk about certain parts of his past.

Thank you! I wish I was more active in Harry Potter, because it would be a lot of fun to develop this Neville more fully because he's interesting.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting.
