I still can't quite believe I've managed to finish it. Good luck getting finished ^_^

Thanks for the comment - I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^ It was a blast to write. I want to write more about Ted and Alice and Andromeda.

Yay! Such a lovely resolution! But with the slight bittersweetness of Regulus, of course (but what's good Marauders fic without bittersweetness?).

This was a wonderful fic, through and through.

As a side note, I was just having dinner with an English couple earlier this evening, and I learned about the TV license for the first time. So the joke at the end was both funny to this American, and strangely apropos.

Right. Second attempt at answering this. The first go turned into a drunken ramble about the merits of the BBC and the licence fee.

I think anything set in this era has to have that edge. There's too many horrors around them to be ignored.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for all your comments. ^_^ As I said above, I really wouldn't have finished without people's feedback.

Ohhh, brilliant! It really ended so well, with everything still not completely dark and without hope. Fics like this make me want to desperately protect the young Marauders from the inevitable.

[rosemaryandrue]

Thank you :) It's hard to find the right balance in this period. I maintain there must have been a time when it was alright, when they were first out of school and newly part of the Order. It would have been horribly brief, though.

Thanks for the comment :)
