Beautiful story. I always love your fics and this one was no exception

oh man I am so glad that angst and separation is mostly over. You wrote it very well of course which made it all the more painful

Well, that was an abrupt way for them to get together. I was anticipating that you'd drag it out quite a bit more. but hey no complaints here

Bravo

So the youtube video I commented is not working, and I linked cause its lyrics reminds me so much of your beautiful, epic story, its called Harry & Hermione "Wonderwall" by RestrictedBeauty

Believe it or not I got a little jealous of Hermione's pregnancy doctor, for being privy to her misfortunes. Or any character that seems to come out of no where and is just there while I'm reading, because the story feels so real to me. I'm getting a little too into this story, I think!

[spoilers ahead]
Hermione having Harry's baby and her emotions, happines and sadness. This story is hitting a little too close to home. I am so grateful it is completed, but at the same time anxious and nervous. Its imo, the absolute best, most realistic portrayal of canon(minus the absolute shit-tier epilogue) Harry and Hermione and their future they could/would ever have.

As much as I never really cared for Malfoy or Ginny, your story has made me root for a relationship between them, in your story at least. I think because of how well(incredibly) you have portrayed them(and pretty much every character, including, especially H/Hr) surprise.

Wow. I'm halfway through the chapter and the way Hermione concocted a potion to kill and revive Harry, even though she herself had her doubts(which reminded me of why she was acting so strangely when she gave Remus his Christmas present) brings me to a quote of Harry when he was having his row with Hermione, on how she was never wrong... I hate to be all mushy and emotional in these reviews, but words can't express how much I love this.

"What are you most afraid of?"

Ron rolled his eyes, even though no one was around to see it. "I'm deathly afraid of spiders, okay, Neville? They make me scream like a bloody girl. Satisfied?"

I laughed out loud uncontrollably to this scene. I just love your Ron and all of the characters you've enhanced. The way Ron couldn't believe Neville was capable of such power is what I love about how you write. How you detail the scenes that lead up to charged moments full of emotion or angst or suspense, which reminds me of when Harry was about to propose to Hermione, and he merely said her name - it gave me chills, because thats exactly how I'd have imagined Harry proposing to his best friend. Your writing is amazing!

I just wanted to say this Lorien, after reading countless fics that where very good and very bad, you've conveyed what I've been hoping to find in an H/Hr story that I can't really put into words. To me it feels like what I always hoped for when I read any H/Hr fic. So thank you x100

"I wouldn't trade this," she said, in a low, heartfelt whisper, "for a lifetime of happiness with anyone else."

More tears... This line just hit me so hard, because of what they've had to go through, and are still going through, and how loyal and loving Hermione is, and how much she tries to show it to him. Really incredible writing.

"Hermione," his voice sounded tired and irritated... and a little fearful. "You don't know what you're asking... I - I can't do this, and have you raise a child alone."

"I'm not pregnant, and you're not dead!"

Heartbreaking chapter, I've lost count of how many times its brought me to tears from both joy and sadness. This story should have the most reviews on this site, but its always those insufferably unrealistic and completely out of character H/Hr that have 2k reviews.

"You are going to have children someday, Harry Potter! she said fiercely. "And you're going to have them with me!"

Love this story, undisputed all time-fav.

I'm stunned, I've never seen Hermione so utterly defeated logically. Harry is a bastard - LOL.
