Oh. My. God.

I have no words. Well, I have many words, but none to describe how much I love this. Stillness and Constellations is one of my least favorite of my fics, but you've expanded on everything I wanted to say in that, and never quite managed - the importance of love and family even through the betrayals on all sides.

The reverse storytelling fits this piece very well, and love how it feels to spiral backwards, to where it all started for them. You worked so much of my personal canon in, and just - wow. I love the scene with Narcissa and Lucius, and the triage scene - fixing a plot hole I didn't even realize was there and capturing my view of Andromeda and the sheer brutality of war - superbly done.

I could not have asked for better.

I am SO happy that you liked it! I am really surprised that this is one of your least favorite fics - I, obviously, saw a lot in it. I'm really, really pleased that I kept with what you were trying to say. I was hoping to do just that.

I love that you said it seemed to spiral backwards - wonderful image, and what I was hoping for! THANK YOU!

Just ask Amy (who I hear you've been talking to) - I've gushed about how awesome it is to her several times.

I agree; Stillness had a lot of potential, but I don't think I realized it in the original. You did in the remix, though. :)

I cannot thank you enough for this amazing Remix!

Hahaha. I, um, might have already been passing on your glee. *is sneaky like that* I was involved in high conspiracy and it was great fun.

Wonderful! I loved the parallel character arcs of Sirius and Andromeda, and your characterizations felt quite real.

mindabbles April 27 2008, 16:53:44 UTC

Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it. It is great to hear the the arcs felt parallel to you - I worried about it. Thank you so much for reading and commenting! :)

So much to love about this - I adore the structure and the world that you've created. Beautiful work.

mindabbles April 27 2008, 16:54:24 UTC

Thank you! Thank you again for your help with this and your stealth advice! :)

This works really well backwards and I love how much you've expanded it beyond the original.

mindabbles April 27 2008, 16:55:05 UTC

Thank you so much. I'm really pleased that the backwards structure worked, and wasn't ocnfusing. Thanks for the lovely comment!

Wonderful! I love the backwards storytelling and the way Sirius and Andromeda's stories parallel each other. The last paragraph is lovely and bittersweet.

mindabbles April 27 2008, 16:56:31 UTC

Thank you!! I'd never done a backwards timeline before, so I'm really happy that it worked. I'm glad you liked the end (or beginning?). It was the first one I wrote and the one from which I structured the rest in my head. THANKS!
