You're oneshot was so beautiful, so bittersweet! I love your style of writing and keep it up!

Aw, I loved this, particularly the last line

I LOVED THIS TO PIECES!

Soooo cute:)

I really enjoyed reading it! It was great. Love it

perfectly lovely. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to read a decent trio fic (b/c most of them are just excuses for the writers to publish huge amounts of smut - which is okay, sure, but it is nice to read something simply and well-written). Thank you!

Oh my god, this made me cry. my eyes are rather blurry-i can't even tell what i'm typing.

sniff.

that was sad, and very real.

Have you read the seventh book yet? THis was written before it came out, right?

Toodles!

There are no words to describe this. It was beyond beautiful. I wish I could find stories like these more than occasionally.

superb!

This is a beautiful little oneshot. I love all the description, you've made it seem so...real. And the trio haven't changed much, have they? 'Ron’s prompt notifications of when something is bloody-hell-Harry!-burning' - haha! Awh...

And I really like how you've made the kitchen-situation quite simple and sweet, but contrasted it marvellously (urrgh, I sound like my English teacher) with the information about those 'empty spaces'. Empty spaces where members of the Order would have stood. That's quite creepy, and also very sad.

Something else that stood out for me (hehe, you can tell I'm liking your story a LOT) were the mentions of lesser-known and often-left-out-or-made-fun-of-in-fanfiction characters, like Sturgis Podmore, Dedalus Diggle, etc. And your OCs aren't blatantly obvious - I'm guessing Barnard Podmore wasn't in the books and you made him up? But anyway. Yes. Never mind.

Basically, I love this story, and I could go on and on about why I love it so much forever...but I'm not going to because I know I'll just bore you.

Bye!

Gorgeous. Your story is so very poignant, and you can really feel the friendship of the Trio.

Great job, and I hope you finish Everything I Know soon! (You see how I slipped that in there? :)

Beautifully composed. Well-written one-shots are hard to come by; in particular, fics which traverse a vast portion of the emotional spectrum - and properly, at that. I like your subtle reminder of how teir everyday life will never again be untainted by the past, and how normalcy is nothing more than a feeble guise. Keep on writing and I'll keep on reading _

oh, I like this. I really do. Reading fanfictoin at is often such hard work, it’s always so refreshing to stumble across something actually well written. Thank you for putting your stuff for public display for me!

Neat work on extended moment-technique, the way you've included the trio's history as well as their different characteristics into Hermione's flat, and the art (...) of cooking. I also like thay way the story is framed by a concrete item. The chocolate card box gives the piece structure, balances the abstract emotions with something utterly common. Good job!

You've got a nice blend of angst (the nightmares, the slowly healing wounds and the reaming scars) and hope (the actually healing wounds, the unity of the trio, their loyalty towards eachoter, the laughters), which is essential for the story and the feeling it conveys. I’m all for angst, but I find that it gives me so much more when a story isn’t limited to one feeling. And, if carried out well, the sadness/hope-mix is an absolute favourite. You’ve got it nailed perfectly.

What confused me a bit was the when the story took place. Most fanfic about the trio is set when they’re still at Hogwarts, so unless specified otherwise the reader (well, at least me) tends to assume that this is the case for any story. I couldn’t really make out why Hermione would be bothered by Ron tossing rubbish outside the bin, since I figured they were in the common room. It all made sense later, of course, but maybe it would be a good idea to establish this earlier.

Details, I know, and you probably think it’s nagging about stuff noone notices anyway, but hey. Details matter. If you've got questions or anything, or just feel like complaining because I tak up too much space in your rewew area, feel free to e-mail me or wind me at LiveJournal (terrybell).

Anyway, thank you again for posting here. You’ve got a style and easiness about you that I can’t seem to get enough of. I’m deeply impressed by the way you’ve chosen difficult and important matters to write about, and carry it out brilliantly, and I hope you’ll continue writing in the future.

Ooh, this is beautiful! It conjures up some really vivid imagery. I'm off to read the other stories you've written now, toodles!

That was extremely lovely, and such a nice messgae too!
