I may never know how you pack such heart rending sorrow into so few words, but I love it and can't stop reading.

Wow, that last line - every word perfectly calculated to be a punch in the gut!

I don't think I've ever read a fic this short that has made me so incredibly sad. This is a really well-written and extremely powerful piece. Excuse me while I go cry.

Interesting set-up. :-)

You have a special way of making me cry.

Wow. This was so...intense and beautiful. Well done.

This what if? is so heartbreaking! Good job writing this! :)

Chills. That last name was eerie, horribly sad, and so utterly perfect. I love the length of the what-ifs and could have beens, and then the harsh cutting reality of 'and Fabian Prewett dies..."

Wonderful, even in its heartbreaking state.

That was amazing. So achingly, depressingly beautiful that I genuinely cried.

You made me cry over a minor character. Over a character we have never actually even met in the books- a character that I have zero emotional investment in. And you made me sob like a baby for him.

This is fantastic- I can't get enough of your stories :D

I liked the style/set-up of this one- seems very appropriate.

That was so sad! It brought me to tears. One of the saddest things is that little Nate would never be. It's heartbreaking that he, a would-be classmate of Harry's, never gets a chance at life because of Voldemort.

Wow. Holy cow. I have to say, this is some of the best writing I've ever seen. This is so sad. Bittersweet. Horribly wonderful. My God, you're amazing.

So ironic, and tragic... god, Imagining the what could haves makes the what was so much worse... poop.

You really have a way for making me get all weepy over characters I never thought much about before.

Very original idea, and you pulled it off wonderfully. Well done!
