Dang - I'm so thickheaded sometimes. I was like 'who's she referring to in that second one?' durrrr!

Great drabbles! I really like the 'Sometimes' one, it's very fitting. Seriously, why'd he have to die? JKR could have written a spin-off about their wild adventures if he hadn't. Aw well.

[tailoredshirt]

LMAO! It's okay, I was just rereading it myself and if you didn't know the context you might think it was Harry or something. But I'm glad you liked them!

A spin-off about the twins would have been wonderful, but I have to say that if JKR did a HP spin-off about anything (which she won't) then I would be all cliche about it and hope it would be about the Marauders. :)

omg! the second one was beautiful! i loved it, even though it did almost make me cry

[tailoredshirt]

Thank you. :)

Mind if I link these from my journal? The second one is especially touching. Have you considered doing something a bit longer?

[tailoredshirt]

Oh, absolutely. I'm flattered you liked it so much. Thank you for asking.

And yes, I have definitely considered writing more than just drabbles and ficlets. I have been planning a couple of series, as well as about 80 billion longer one-shots. It's funny, because in my previous fandom I got used to writing 12,000 word one-shots, but when I get here what do I do? Start posting drabbles. *headdesk*

Oh, sorry, babbling. The upshot is that yes, I do plan to write longer fics. I should be posting a couple of them soon.

[fangirl_padawan]

Excellent. Oh, and I just realized you're the one who did Big Black Dog, so now I have to friend you. :-)

[tailoredshirt]

Awesome. Friending you back, though I should warn you that I get a bit silly on this thing something. :)

Sometimes his spells work half as well, last half as long.
It's all so terribly lovely, but for some reason this bit felt like a complete punch to the gut. Fuck.

Ron! Bless him. *hugs them both* *sobs*

*wipes your tears and snuggles with you*

I'm stalking you. I totally found your fic list and am going though it. >_<

I love both fics, but the second is... amazing. I think you've managed to convey how George would have felt, and more difficult, how Ron would have felt at that, in very few words.
