I´m excited to read it!
Tomorrow, my comment :) This is a long one, Jenn!
I´m really glad you´ve enjoyed this fest so much!
Love :)

Yeah, it's really long! Probably the longest one-shot I've ever written. Maybe I should have broken it up into chapters. *frets*

Love ya, back! :)

This is BRILLIANT!
Wonderfully written, wonderful descriptions, great dialogs, and totally amusing :)
I love the pace and the emotions you showed about Percy. He was a moron.. but he´s a Weasley!
Also, I really liked all the details you put in here to show what a dictatorial system the magical world had become. This´s why I always thought that, beyond GoF, HP wasn´t a book for kids.
Amazing, Jenn. Truly amazing :)

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. It was really fun to try something new and to focus on a character that I haven't written about before. :) Thank you so much! ♥

[willows_fics]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

This was wonderful. I was right away drawn to Percy's voice, to his inner thoughts. I think you did a wonderful job with a character that once turned away from his family but then regretted. You gave what we already knew a backstory, and it's one that fits right in with all that we know of the HP world. This made me want to know more about Percy and Audrey, now after the battle.

Great job, Jenn!

Thanks so much, Pili. I'm glad you liked it and thought I did a good job. Writing this story has made me really interested in Percy. I think he'd be a much different person after the war because of everything that's happened. ♥

You did a great job of showing the evolution of Percy and why and how he changed. I also thought the explanation of Audrey in his life was really well done and good job on the slow creation of their relationship.

Sorry to see Hamish go, but it brought a huge emotional punch to the story, and it wouldn't have been the same had you saved him.

Great pacing, great job on the frienship between this trio: Percy, Audrey and Hamish. Really enjoyed it.

Sorry - didn't realize I wasn't logged in until it was too late.

It's okay. :)

I wanted to give Percy and Audrey a history. It makes sense for some of the Weasleys to marry people we don't know (I know you certainly wish that about George) but it also really makes me want to fill in the blanks there. I like the idea of Audrey being kind of bad ass, especially since he's such a stuffed shirt.

Hamish was originally going to play a larger role but the timeline didn't work out right. I really liked his character.

Thanks for reading it. ♥

I've always loved the idea of Audrey being much different in personality than Percy, as evidenced by my P/A fic. I agree he'd be drawn to someone the opposite of him to calm him down.
