Guest p chapter 1 . 9/17 Remember me?That was soooo sad! What are you doing to me?! that was sweet though I enjoyed it. :p |
A chapter 1 . 7/7 Very, very well written. |
Dyenya chapter 1 . 12/30/2019 You almost made me crack a tear at the end dammit |
JBrocks917 chapter 1 . 7/8/2018 Oh God... sobbing my heart out. This is just so beautiful and wonderful and awesome heartbreaking and a million more good adjectives. October was my favorite, though I loved everything! I like how you ended it just before the final battle. Great job. |
my-last-username-was-immature chapter 1 . 4/29/2018 Mother of God. I went into this one expecting to cry. Which I did. Congratulations. This is...this is intense. Um. It deserves all of the praise it's gotten, obviously. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and cruel and so good, so... Yeah. Major kudos. |
Alva chapter 1 . 7/23/2016 3 I LOVE YOUR STORIES! |
skMoony chapter 1 . 4/1/2014 That ending... just wow. I've never accepted Fred's death, and I don't think I ever will. There was this one line that caught me: "...half asleep and leaning on his brother, he knows with sudden, startling clarity that he will die without George." It's a pretty straightforward and simple sentence, but when I first read it, I saw this double meaning (I'm not sure if you meant it or not, but it's really great). I love the conversations and each plot line you created. That last one really hit my heart like a dagger. I really don't know why I do this to myself. Loved it though! It was very meaningful and full with emotion. Brilliant! |
Abigail Belle chapter 1 . 2/26/2014 THIS ISN'T NICE. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME THINK OF FRED'S TRAGIC DEATH. RUDE. A lot of the dialogue in this was really great, and felt very much like the 'voices' of the characters in canon. Ginny saying that Harry was just trying to be noble particularly stuck out to me as very true to her in the book. Fred's overprotectiveness of George and fear for his life is really painful... ah, dramatic irony :( |
percychased chapter 1 . 2/26/2014 Still in denial that Fred dies. Lee and his 'corpse muching maniacs.' Oh, that was funny. This was sad, though, and I'm very near tears. I think the think that broke me was the [one month full of lasts] The twins, here, are shown as different people instead of two people, exactly the same, and I like that. I like the subtle differences between the two, and I love the characterization. Love love love. Good job! |
ohmoony chapter 1 . 2/26/2014 NO, NO, NO, NOOOO! Asdfghjkl, this was so, so beautiful and heartbreaking and so very perfect. I love how it was a "countdown" to the death of Fred by month and it was just so saaad, but I loved it. :''') I'm gonna have to review each section at a time to make sure I cover everything I need to say. :) 1. Awh, I love the bickering between the two of them - it's so like them to argue jokingly like that. AND THEN THE END, I WAS KIND OF HAPPY, THINKING OH YAY, FRED AND GEORGE ARE TOGETHER AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY, AND THEN BAM, YOU JUST HAD TO... I MEAN... "Exactly a year later, George isn't laughing..." IT'S SO ABRUPT AND IT HUUURTS SO MUCH. :'''''''''''''''''''( 2. ASDFGHJKL, ahhh, they caaare. They're trying to help because they almpost lost their little brother. That's so cuuuute though. :') 3. This whole section here is too much for me. I just *sobs* can't. Ginny's love for George, how she flings herself at him for a hug :'''''''). And then the last sentence for this section really, really, really killed me. How Fred is thankful that Ginny loves George because she's the only one that can keep him afloat. 4. Asdfghjklasdfghjklasdfghjkl, Fred's concern for his twin is adorable and heartbreaking at the same time. Waah, Molly's children are leaving her and I just can't even and then Fred just volunteers to stay because he's amazing and I love him. And this section was beautiful. :''') 5. Awh, Fred's speech though. :''') Lovely, lovely, lovely. 6. Excuse me please while I sob, sob, sooooob. That is literally the saddest thing I have ever read (and trust me, I've read my fair share of depressing stories :P). Freeeeed is afraid of losing his twin, and his twin is *there* to hug him and asdfghjkl. :''''''') I love how Fred can't even say that he thought he was dead, it just makes it that much more sad and depressing and it makes me want to curl into a ball and just cry for a good couple of hours. :P :''''''') 7. Awh, I like the moment with Percy that you included here. I love that Fred and George are willing to accept Percy back into the family, because he *is* family after all, and of *course* they still love him. 8. I just love the relationship between Fred and George, it makes me want a twin, hahaha. I just love how much they care about each other, you know? It's so, so sweet. :''') 9. No, no, noooo. Ginnyyyyyy. I love that she's so brave, and I love how you hinted at what's been happening at Hogwarts. Awh, Fred and George are trying... they gave her all these things to help her... waah. :''') 10. Awh, I love the little moments between the twins you've written. AND THEN THE LAST SENTENCE JUST KILLED ME, KILLED ME, KILLED MEEEEEE. THAT'S JUST TOO MUCH. 11. I LOVE YOU FOR SNEAKING REMUS IN THERE. YOU'RE AMAZING DARLING! :P :') 12. Can I just say that you truly are FREAKING AMAZING. YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT AND TALENTED AND I LOVE YOU. :''') [Fred has already had several lasts...] THANK YOU FOR THAT I'M LITERALLY DYING RIGHT NOW. :''''''''''''( I'M SO GLAD HE GOT TO SAY HE LOVED HIS TWIN ONE LAST TIME AND ASDFGHJKL THIS WHOLE STORY WAS FABULOUS. :''') |
autumn midnights chapter 1 . 2/26/2014 This was wonderful. I really like your characterization of the twins; I like how you show them as two different people and not carbon copies of each other. You've also expanded on the way they were characterized in canon; they're definitely IC, but you've added more depth to them in a few scenes, and I really enjoyed that. I liked their interactions with the other Weasleys, as well, especially Ginny. Hogwarts during DH is a really intriguing time to me, so I adored that section. I really like the way you wrote this, as well - counting down the months to Fred's death was a really original idea, and I especially like the sections that you ended with foreshadowing. I really like how Fred is so worried about George, also - it's sadly ironic, in a way, because Fred is the one who ends up dying. SPaG was very good, and I didn't notice any mistakes there. I kind of wish you had included a little more of the whole situation with Angelina; I feel like that wasn't expanded upon enough. I love that Lee calls the DEs 'corpse-munching maniacs'. I can totally picture him doing that. |
Lucy Kent chapter 1 . 2/26/2014 You made me cry! This is so wonderful and heart wrenching. It is so well written that I can clearly see it all happening. Especially Fred's reaction to George getting hurt. And Fred's insecurities... and how you elude to Fred's interest in Angelina despite the fact that Angelina prefers George. At least that is the feel I got from it, though it may not be what you meant necessarily. But well done! |
Last Girl Standing chapter 1 . 2/25/2014 So. Ow. Any Fred & George piece hurts for me, entirely out of knowing what happens. The fact that Fred wakes up screaming because George dies in his dreams - fuckin ow, man. That's bittersweet. The snippets brought them alive and were so incredibly realistic, I'm ow. Much love, dearest. So much. |
alwaysmarauders chapter 1 . 2/25/2014 This was amazing! all of it! I was crying because of my love for the twins and how as each part passed I knew the story was getting closer and closer to when he would die. I'm glad you ended it the way you did and not went all the way to his death, otherwise I most likely would have ended up bawling :P I loved how you portrayed Fred, and his protectiveness and brotherly love towards Ginny was so sweet and gave me happy feelings. The part where they were making a potion replacement for a Bezoar was really cool, and I like to think that they would do that among other things like that with their skills. Everything about this was just great, it had me laughing and crying and just, well, it truly captured them. Awesome job! |
enomix chapter 1 . 2/25/2014 ! What kind of beautiful sorcery of a story is this? This was absolutely heartbreaking; the way you bring out all the emotions was fantastic and Fred's internal struggle with George's possible death is very well developed. Honestly, this just ripped my heart out stabbed it with every countdown of a month and threw it back into my body beating slightly slower. The way that you've structured the story makes the ideas that you convey so much more powerful, and the fact that Fred's fears sort of turn around and it's him who dies in the end makes it even sadder. All the interactions with the other characters were great, too; I liked how you brought in all the Weasley family and their relationship with Ginny in particular (so much of the twins' banter was hilarious - the lightness of it contrasted very well with the imminent danger and again, just made the story so breathtaking) Wow. |
